Obamacare: Another Example of Utopian Foolishness
The International Business Times ^ | 07/03/2012 | Kayleigh McEnany

The Supreme Court has spoken, the president has spoken, and Congress has spoken. Now it is time for the American people to speak. In four months, Americans will have a choice. We can choose to elect a vision that is true to what America is -- a country where freedom is cherished, hard work is rewarded, and handouts are adverse to our very nature. Or we can re-elect a vision very much at odds with this foundation, a vision whose fruits are destroying America at its very core.

The latter vision produced Obamacare, a piece of legislation that amounts to little more than utopian foolishness. President Barack Obama and the Democrats told us health care was a human right and they were here to ride in on their white horses and deliver that right. They misled the people -- either by intent or ignorance -- into believing this. One problem: Health care for all is an empirical impossibility, and the Democratic promises were nothing more than the hollow words of a devout ideologue.

I can’t believe these monsters passed all of this evil socialism on us. Is this America? I feel like I’m in a nightmare to witness this happening to us and a once great , once free, industrial power that used to be the United States

The states need to secede from the union. And then those states write a new constitution that proclaims that the federal government’s only roles are in defending the country from Foreign threats like illegals and china. Never will it be allowed for government at any level to get involved in schools, healthcare, or welfare or charity.99% of what governments do now should be abolished and illegal. The only thing the government could have a small role is in roads as they already ruined that So governments should only deal with police(local), military , border control, customs( federal), roads( states), courts at all levels (only to protect individual and property rights )and only a sales tax and tariffs allowed at any level of government. That means an EPA,IRS, government schools, HUD,HHS , dept of energy,income tax, property taxes are always illegal(never never will any politician even propose legislation that would deal with any of this as it would be illegal).

When the hell are these fools who write these articles going to realize it hasn't a thing to do about health care

THE left wing could care less about anybody's health

It is all about power and taking control

Isn’t it ironic that our Christian President has forced Catholics to violate their religious objection to contraceptives and abortifacients while exempting Muslims from Obamacare because Islam frowns on insurance as a form of wager?

Health care is a human right just like the automobile and a home is a human right.

You have a right to buy the best available automobile and home available that you can afford.

Your right to an automobile, a home or health care does not impose on me or anyone else the obligation to provide that commodity to you just as your right to free speech does not confer on a news paper the obligation to provide space in that news paper for you to voice your opinion.

A significant problem is the 80% of US society that has no clue about any thing but issues on the level of sports or American Idol.

How do you rally the troops when too many of them are overt or closeted collectivists?

FUBAR, baby.

That’s true. The media and the government schools have intentionally kept most people dumb and focused on such things as sports, and hollywood. Notice how sports and football are part of almost every government school.

At least on this site most people are aware. Do you agree with any of my proposals?

That’s true, all democrats are collectivists/socialists.

It’s a huge problem. They don’t know the dangers of big government but instead think that government is something benevolent that will give them something for free.

The path you suggest, the “S” word, (I dare not type it in full online)can only be done effectively after the SHTF. The collective status quo doesn’t lose its cash cows easily. We have to make milking us more costly, through strategic planning.
