You Can't Tweak Socialism

It has been less than 100 hours since ObamaCare passed the United States Congress, and before most Democrats have even had a chance to read the bill, there are already some early indications that some in our party, as time goes along, will advocate doing something less than a full repeal of the health care takeover which passed on the late hours of March 21.

Indeed, I am deeply concerned as the weeks and months drag on and the time elapses since passage, there will be calls to keep some parts of ObamaCare while repealing others – essentially, an effort to tweak around the edges. As a constitutional conservative, I am completely opposed to this idea for one very simple reason:

You can’t tweak socialism.

We have reached a critical crossroads in our nation’s history, a generational turning point where we will decide what kind of country we will be. The radical left, led by President Obama and Speaker Pelosi, is fully devoted to remaking America into their own image, one founded more in the concept of “We the Government” instead of “We the People”, where power is top down, and where more and more segments of the private sector are either severely regulated or destroyed in favor of government control

I wanted to point you all towards a column I wrote on Friday. I think it will give you a better idea of what I am running on here in Kansas. Thanks so much to all of you!

Good luck in your campaign. The nation is in jeopardy and we need every conservative we can get in Congress in order to change the disastorous course on which we are heading.

I like you! We need more like you! I’m so sick of republicans trying to bring people into the “big tent” who’s intention is to knock down the tent pole.

Good luck and my prayers are with you.

“a generational turning point where we will decide what kind of country we will be” >>>>>

Unfortunately that time passed on August 15th 1971 (the worst day in US history IMO). Every one of our domestic problems is the direct result of inflation, regulation, immigration, uncontrolled litigation.

Complete entitlement sounds good to many people who are drownding in the debt & stress of daily modern life. This has resulted in a governing administration who has a good chance to implement communism in the once great free market society. The landslide November elections that will slow this insane policy making and I agree we can't back down and will need to fight to the bitter end to protect what's left of our freedoms.

Wish more candidates would do what your doing. I have a website on running for office which offers ideas and suggestions, on targeting districts using registered voters lists and setting up blitz teams . Use of print, and designs for campaign material using minimal material. There are also some theme pieces I’ve developed on Obama care one of which is a petition which might prove usefull this is
