Round One of the Socialized Federalized Medicine-Man fight is over.
As soon as President Obama signs on the dotted line, Round Two will be initiated with a herd of raging bull Attorney Generals (AG) from around the country; all in a charge at the red cape of the constitutionality of congress to mandate the purchase of health insurance by individual citizens.
It’s a set up guys. Obama and his brain trust are out in front on this one. They put the ‘thou-shalt-purchase’ clause in the bill deliberately knowing every freedom-loving, red-blooded Republican AG would charge. They intend to have the Republican’s object to this in bit-and-pieces instead of a full frontal attack that the ENTIRE Bill is unconstitutional.
We Republicans bit the bait real good, but, it was a Trojans horse covered with shiny stuff like the abortion debate; deliberately set to get our attention. While all along, ‘Obamanistas’ fully expect that the Supreme Court will strike down the parts that mandate a person will buy insurance or they will pay through the nose to BigFed one way or another. There are bigger problems ahead, so save some ammo.
We had a saying when I was in the desert in the first Gulf War, ‘It’s not just the mouse that ran through the tent you need to worry about – it’s the viper that’s chasing the mouse you better be afraid of.’
When the Supreme Court decision is finally made – with the anticipated ruling, the bumper sticker “I Heart Socialized Medicine” liberal crowd will pull out the already prepared Round Three plan: Public Option in tandem with the Federal Government picking up the tab incrementally to offset the loss.
“But, what else can we do? We can’t leave people without health care can we?” Liberals will sob as the complete implementation of socialized; taxpayer health care is implemented with Under New Management Federal Clinic signs being put up over the old Mayo Clinic signs, and hospitals across the country, et.al.
It’s part of the plan. For example, do you believe that Obama just wrote that Executive Order about Federal Funding of Abortions in the eleventh hour before the vote? That thing was written months ago and held to the last minute to make it look like some kind of ‘real’ concession to the hold-outs.
The liberal guys are not some lightweights. They have a plan while we Republicans do a Saint Vitus Dance jerking around the details and nickel-and-diming our attacks that should have been coordinated years ago. It’s not like the Democrats didn’t start this with Clinton Care in the early 1990s.
Anyway, it’s critical that we need to understand their game and focus on a way to repeal this bill and counter it with workable market approaches to health care with the doctors providing that care and the patients at the center of gravity:
(1) States should implement; as difficult as it is, meaningful health care reform for its citizens at the appropriate level of government. Health Care is a real problem.
(2) States should intervene and represent any citizens of their state that the Federal Government decides to fine for failure to purchase insurance.
(3) States should facilitate competition in health care providers and health care facilities, and increase the number of students entering medical and nursing schools.
(4) Republicans better send ‘Constitutional Gun-Fighters’ and thinkers to Congress.
(5) States should band together – repeal the 17th Amendment, and take their Senators back. This action will give the states a place at the table in Washington and put teeth into State Sovereignty again.
If we thought the nightmare of the Federal ‘No Child Left Behind’ program was hard to deal with, just wait for General Hospital USA. Hold your ears and don’t dance to the liberal’s song.

Could someone explain why she says to “repeal the 17th amendment” and take their senators back?
Just read through the amendment, don’t understand that statement.
I also think the states should propose a consititutional amendment to prohibit any government body from making medical decisions for individuals.... or something to that effect. I believe almost EVERY American would favor that and it would be ratified.
Go Katharine!
We need more people that think like you on our side.
This is a battle that has to be fought to regain the principles that America was founded on — first and foremost is freedom. Everything else comes after that.
“Could someone explain why she says to “repeal the 17th amendment” and take their senators back?”
Originally Senators were appointed by the state legislature, not popularly elected.
This ensured that the interests of each state were carried to D.C. Instead we have the situation where the state’s interests are not represented in D.C., taking away any vestige of ‘state’s rights’.
Restoring the original design of appointed senators would go a long way toward reducing the size of the federal gov’t.
Glad you are on our side!
The only good thing to come from this is the strong GOP voices are being heard on the National Stage. We do have leaders and you are one of them!
“We, as a country, are done.”
Don’t be so quick in funeral announcments. We have NEVER elected a congress with the mandate to go to Washington to rip out federal programs by the roots. Every congress since 1964 has gone to DC to increase either social or defense spending. Burning down federal programs has always been a peripheral issue.
In the next two election cycles, we have the opportunity to destroy federal fascism.
Let’s get to work, shall we?
That is the theory anyhow.
I'd love to see this happen. At least the corruption would be closer to home.
Perhaps you can kick some gentleman’s ass.
The need for decorum is vastly outweighed by the need to put down the Rats who have no regard for decorum except as a means to control the riffraff.
I really like your way of thinking and your “FReeper profile page” is great.
I admire your political stance and support your endeavor but being a pragmatist, how are you going to deal with the issue on the home front regarding Van? You know the Dems are going to make that an issue or has that now been put to rest?
Ping to #30.......how’s that?
Once can turn a blind eye to an individual’s background but in politics, if they can’t stand up to the questions posed by their supporters then they will be toast to their opponents........and don’t think for a second that they don’t have internet access.
Bump! The next quiet news day, I’ll ping it. And if there isn’t a quiet news day soon, I’ll add it to a ping anyway!

60 Minutes Exposes United States Financial Collapse ~VIDEO
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/03/30/60-minutes-exposes-united-states-financial-collapse.aspx
In this 60 Minutes report, you’ll learn about a handful of Wall Street outsiders who realized the subprime mortgage business was a house of cards and found a way to bet against it. Michael Lewis talks about the current situation on Wall Street, the large bonuses still being paid and his predictions for the future of the industry.
Michael Lewis was also interviewed on Charlie Rose on March 16th. To see that video, please see this link.
The second video details the tactics employed by Lehman Brothers to effectively hide their crumbling financial status.
I’d like to note that the 60 Minutes report was sponsored by Pfizer, and features a prominent ad for Lipitor off to the side of the Web page. Isn’t it interesting that one of the largest industries responsible for the collapse of the economy is sponsoring this?
This is the company that has distorted and manipulated the truth so that people will pay hundreds of dollars for worthless and dangerous drugs that in no way, shape or form address their health issue, yet they are hoodwinked into believing that if they don’t take them their life is at stake. [snip]

Conflict or Cooperation — Nailed it! Simple and compelling.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2483672/posts?page=1
When’s the last time you heard of beer drinkers in conflict with wine drinkers, or three-piece suit lovers in conflict with lovers of blue jeans? It seldom if ever happens because beer and blue jean lovers get what they want. Wine and three-piece suit lovers get what they want and they all can live in peace with one another.
It would be easy to create conflict among these people. Instead of free choice and private decision-making, clothing and beverage decisions could be made in the political arena. In other words, have a democratic majority-rule process to decide what drinks and clothing that would be allowed. Then we would see wine lovers organized against beer lovers, and blue jean lovers organized against three-piece suit lovers ... [snip]
Fear Itself [American Spectator]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2483692/posts
So, mean right-winger Tea Partiers are hurting the feelings of our sainted elected officials in Washington. There are rumors of intimidation, death threats and, horror of horrors, inappropriate language. So thin-skinned are these folks that Sarah Palin’s simple exhortation, “don’t retreat, reload,” was referred to as “violent words and imagery.” Even dead Republicans are the subject of posthumous excoriation, as in these noble words of Barry Goldwater: “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.” One wonders what they would make of Thomas Jefferson’s observation that, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood...
