We ought to be threatening bloody revolution to prevent this nightmare scenario. I believe it’s just that serious. You can put whatever salve on it you wish. It won’t be reversed and it won’t improve health care. What it will do is send this country into a tailspin which will ultimately cost many lives—count on it. If they pass it this country is finished. It is inevitable.
If you are suggesting armed resistance and violent overthrow of the US Government, then you had better be prepared for the consequences. If you believe that strongly in the issue, you should start forming the armed resistance and mobilize those who feel the way you do. Good Luck.
“If you believe that strongly in the issue...”
I really don’t know how any American could not feel that strongly about freedom.
Obviously I’m one of a few who believe in freedom that strongly. If this country were made of men like me this would be a laughable notion in the dark recesses of some leftist beta’s mind. No real man reacts well to other men plotting to make state property of him.
If the alternative is to lay down while they work to create their utopia, with me and mine as slaves, then I’ll take the bloody revolution, thank you.
I think you have it mixed up, however. THEY are trying to overthrow the US government, FRiend, not I.
It is THEY who work at bringing about socialized medicine. It is clearly unconstitutional.
But thanks for painting me as the extremist. That’s always nice to hear.
You and those at DU/KOS would agree on that one, I’m sure.
The founders were certainly a calcitrant lot, weren’t they? I wonder what you would have said to them at first mention of resisting their would-be masters?
What, in principle, is so different about what’s happening now? I think they would have reached their boiling point a long time ago.
Are you suggesting we play polite with our future owners?
Will you be their pet? Their oh-so pragmatic, ever-compromising and unassuming pawn?
Humans have different comfort levels when it comes to loss of freedom. I happen to have a very low threshold for it and feel the loss as pain, clear and overwhelming.
The pain of the loss quickly outpaces the pain of resisting.
As ever, some are content with letting others do the fighting—worms and leeches among them.
Violent resistance to oppression or non-violent surrender to other human beings as rulers? Hmmmm...as hard as I might try I don’t see much of a choice there.
