The Twilight Zone”
Greetings fellow South Florida riders, South Floridians, and Americans, here we are for another monthly installment of our Wheels on the Road political assessment. This month’s title is appropriate because Rod Serling could not have written this script any better. Everyday we wake up and have to ask ourselves, “Are we in some kinda parallel universe”? Actually Serling had an episode which fits appropriately.
Therefore I googled up what has to be my favorite Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man”. Here is the synopsis of the episode, which was available upon search.
“A race of aliens known as the Kanamits, they were tall, land on earth and promise to be nothing but helpful to the cause of humanity. Initially wary of the intentions of such a highly advanced race even the most skeptical humans are convinced when their code-breakers begin to translate one of the Kanamit’s books with the seemingly innocuous title, “To Serve Man”.
Sharing their advanced technology, the aliens quickly solve all of the Earth’s greatest woes, eradicating hunger, disease, and the need for welfare. Soon humans are volunteering for trips to the Kanamits’ home planet, which is supposedly a paradise.
All is not well, however, when a code-breaker discovers the Kanamits’ true intentions: Their book, “To Serve Man”, is a cookbook, and all their gifts were simply to make humanity complacent, much like fattening pigs or cows before they are slaughtered.”
Here we are today and the Kanamits are the far left liberals and their book is “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky.
How many people mindlessly followed, ok, well, I will not call him an alien, Obama’s empty rhetoric of “change and hope”? How many were hypnotized by the promises of everything being taken care of and the seas rising.

Our healthcare is now the new target and the remedy is not to have solutions driven by medical professionals, just more government intervention. It will cost over $1Trillion and we have no idea as to how this will be paid for....here is a bet, rationing and higher taxes. But, everyone will have healthcare, no woes." This guy has guts -just what we need! Palin West 2012
“Our healthcare is now the new target and the remedy is not to have solutions driven by medical professionals, just more government intervention.

The healthcare “plan” won’t even cover all of those who do not have insurance. From what I’ve read, it will only cover 16 million of the claimed 42 million who do not have insurance.
Palin West 2012 Hmmmmmm? A female and a black military officer, good combo, but its the economy that will be in the forefront. The black inner city voters don’t go for black achievers who lead disciplined lives, they vote for masters of jive talk. I’d vote for West or Palin anytime, but they had better pick a good staff. I’ve said this many times before, its not the President who is important, its the people who get the cabinet appointments that count the most.
Which pretty much corresponds to the number of illegal aliens currently in the US.
47 million? According to a study by BC/BS of Mass... that number is something like:
Less 10-20 million illegals;
Less 10 million young folks who can afford insurance but think they don’t need it;
Less 5 million who are temporarily between jobs;
So, 47 million really equals 12 million to 22 million hardcore uninsured.
Now, also consider the hardcore unemployment rate of 3-4%... consisting of those who can’t work or don’t want to work. Those folks are the bulk of the real “uninsured”.
” but they had better pick a good staff. I’ve said this many times before, its not the President who is important, its the people who get the cabinet appointments that count the most” -that is true in the business world too -knowing how to choose good employees. But it is also top management leading those good employees in the right direction.
You beat me to it!
Good for you, ca.

Well, no. I actually used the 16 million number in my post.
The implication is that the single-payer health care is designed to benefit only the illiegals. Once they get amnesty, the gov’t will do everything in its power to make sure they are first in line to get the healthcare.
