Has anyone else noticed that the only proposal for reforming American health care is
Obamas Marxist government grab of 1/7th of the U.S. economy and the nationalization of yet another private American industry?
Apparently...
Democrat
+ Reform
= Government Confiscation of an Industry
Democrat reform of auto manufacturing meant Government Motors and federal control of auto manufacturing. Democrat reform of energy means government control of energy. In six months of unbridled Democrat rule, they have grabbed control of banking, investment houses, insurance companies, auto manufacturing and energy.
Todays party of the people is all about the federal power, not people power. Obama, Pelosi and Reid will allow NO other options on the table...
Democrats are selling the idea that socialized medicine is the official limited definition of health reform. Can anyone tell me which Washington DC genius decided that totalitarianism was a progressive idea? or show me an example of success in the federal management of anything? Theyve yet to establish a single program that they didnt immediately bankrupt!
Its not hard to figure out why American citizens are increasingly opposed to ObamaCare, now that they have read Nancy Pelosis Heath Scare Plan that no member of congress was going to read. Its hard to figure out what took them so long to react to federal failures.
Members of congress are right on this part. Theres no reason to waste time reading the bill when no matter how it passes or if it passes, they will enforce their Marxist will upon the angry masses, with or without any authority to do so.
Since the US Constitution is meaningless to these folks, why should Democrats bother to read the bills they are passing when they are just going to interpret those bills any way they want, whether the bill actually passes or not?
Any reform bill will be a living breathing document no more limited by text than the Constitution itself. Whats the point in reading it...?
What passes for reform in DC today, is blatant insanity. But since it is the work product of the Democratic Socialists of America, via their congressional committees, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus, and the political brainchild of Nancy crazy as an out-house rat Pelosi, I cant say Im shocked.
Seriously though, are we really going to limit our choices to socialist reform or no reform only? Secular socialist confiscation of 1/7th of our economy and the destruction of the best health care on earth or nothing at all?
Cant we have a multiple choice discussion here? -- Take a good look at whats not broken and stop talking about fixing it, so that we can focus on only the few opportunities for improvement that do exist in our current health care system?
Why are we only being offered socialism as a choice? Anyone else find that a bit strange? Can anyone offer a single successful example of when the federal government really was the best solution to any problem?
We can guess why Obamanation wants to control 1/7th of the U.S. economy. Anyone care to take a stab at why they want federal control over life and death decisions for 300 million individual Americans?
This thing stinks to high heaven! On the heels of nationalized banking and auto manufacturing, we are supposed to believe that socialism is the most progressive idea for reforming a health care system that eighty-five percent of Americans are happy with?
As you can see, I have more questions than answers on this subject. But I seem to be the only American writer ready to ask the questions. Every lap-dog news room seems perfectly happy to accept socialized medicine as the only means to reform health care, without raising a single obvious question...
The lamestream press is following the pied piper of Marxism just like they followed his campaign for four years, without ever asking once what the mystery messiah meant by change. Even now that we can see what he meant by change the American press remains in a secular-socialist coma.
Are we really going to accept socialized medicine without discussing why its necessary, or even why its a better option than what he currently have?
Forget about a thousand pages worth of details. In this case, the devil isnt in the details - its in the heavily flawed foundational premise that our government is good at running anything. The last hundred years of history have proven that our government is only good at running things into the ground. This is what we want for our health?
We are talking about moving 1/7th of the U.S. economy and individual health choices from the private sector to the public sector. We are debating replacing private health care with public health care. Wheres the evidence to suggest that our federal government is the most efficient and effective means of managing anything?
Clearly, the people are not prepared for such a leap of faith.
In fact, with each passing day, the hope they once had for pro-American change six months ago is fast becoming a demand for real change in the form of an increased unemployment rate, by roughly 546 jobs in Washington DC. No golden parachutes either... Tar and feathers instead!
Does the U.S. healthcare system have room for improvement? You bet!
But since when does the federal government - known as the most unsuccessful business management team on earth, complete with a horrific bedside manner - have the best idea we can come up with concerning matters of life and death?
No entity on earth has done a better job of bankrupting everything it touches. Why on earth would any sane American support the notion that these same scumbags should hold the power of life and death in their hands, while they continue to bankrupt the nation right before our eyes?
I usually try to offer some ideas or answers when I write a column, and not just rant about the obvious insanity. But in this case, Im just completely baffled by the fact that the entire discussion over health care in America has been systematically limited to a full court press for Marxism, at a time when even the most ill-educated American can easily see that nobody in DC has any idea how to run a front-yard lemonade stand without bankrupting it before the weekend....
Im just amazed that this discussion is even taking place.
Who on earth can honestly argue the benefits of handing Health Care over to the same people known for their career criminal thuggery and inept fiscal insanity? Anyone willing to make such a silly suggestion should be summarily laughed right out of the room before they can finish the sentence.
Im sorry, but this time, I just have to ask a lot of questions, because I sure dont have any explanations for such absurdity.
The federal government has spent decades demonstrating that they cannot run a single program on budget or without pilfering and plundering the program into total bankruptcy. We know it so well that its a waste of ink to list all of the programs they have managed badly, at this late date.
Is there any other entity on earth that when they screw up, we increase their power and budget so that they can screw up even more?
No... This time, youre going to have to provide the answers.... Why is this even a discussion? What is there to debate?
Heres a crazy right-wing idea....
How about if we audit every federal program on its own merits and every time we find a program that has been run into the ground by career scumbags in Washington, we remove that program from federal authority and return the money and the authority to the states?
No state could do a worse job than the Fed has already done, except California maybe. And at least if some states screw up as badly as the Fed, it will only affect those states instead of the entire nation. Maybe even Californians can learn from their mistakes over time.
The Fed has had ample opportunity to prove itself capable of running things and it has failed miserably by any set of standards you care to apply, proving itself wholly incapable of even the simplest of tasks. No entity on earth has a better track record of complete failure and utter destruction.
In the real world, we fire people for such legendary poor performance... we dont reward them with more power, authority and budgets to bust!
Can I get an Amen here!
Fact is Democratic Socialists in congress and the White House have done this nation a great service over the last six months.
Their tyrannical leap into unrestrained Marxism has shocked a sleeping giant into action and the leftist rush to grab private industry after private industry put DC elitists on a collision course with average Americans who had been lethargically sliding down the slippery slope into totalitarianism for sixty years now.
Thanks to DC Marxists, the people are awake and engaged now! The people are standing up and speaking out! The Second American Revolution has begun!
If DC Marxists continue to ignore or downplay the velvet revolution taking place in town hall meetings across the nation, they will soon find themselves muzzle to muzzle with average American who have clearly lost all faith and trust in DC elitists and are fully prepared to take their country back, one way or another!
Can I get an Amen here!
Socialize the Health Care of a country and you can then Socialize the country. Rememer that one?
Then it will be interesting to see how the demoRats try to sell the American public on continuing to pay the union thugs retirement programs.

I say we shut ‘em down now and get it over with.
“When authority presents itself in the guise of organization, it develops charms fascinating enough to convert communities of free people into totalitarian States.”
From Hayek’s famous little 1944 book.
The only reason the government is doing all this is because they want to control us, enslave us, and then eliminate us. Think about it. Watch Obama Deception on youtube.
