Dr. Ben Carson: ObamaCare not for and by the people
Fox News -- On the Record with Greta ^ | Sept 20, 2013 | Dr. Ben Carson & Greta Van Susteren

Posted on 09/21/2013 6:37:53 PM PDT by Innovative

CARSON:...the founders of the Soviet Union ran into opposition, as well. And they felt that they knew better than the people did, and if they could force upon the people their way of thinking, that the people would eventually come to accept it. And this is basically what's going on with ObamaCare. ...I thought that America was supposed to be for, of and by the people. I thought it was supposed to be people-centric and not government-centric. And I think there are a lot of other Americans who agree with me on that.

And you know, if we sit by quietly and don't challenge the expansionist philosophy of this government, then pretty soon, we will have something very similar to the Soviet Union, where the government is in every aspect of our lives, controlling everything that we do. And we simply sit there and watch. We can't do that. And I don't think we're going to do it, quite frankly.

Dr Carson is 100% correct -- this is all about government taking over and controlling every aspect of our lives.

The talking heads and elected idiots are telling us to shut up and take it because its going to be the law of the land.

That sounds more like the old Soviet Union than the USA.

My school invited Dr. Carson to come as a guest speaker. The liberal faculty weren’t amused.

Don't participate in Obamacare.
Don't sign up for it.
Don't give any of your personal and health information over to some "Navigator."
Don't pay the fine.
Save your money and put it in an interest-bearing account or Money Market fund.
Pay for routine and out-of-pocket expenses with cash, and do research about healthcare overseas (Costa Rica, Malaysia, and Hungary have some great services for a fraction of U.S. costs).

JUST SAY NO TO OBAMACARE

If I'm correct, the U.S.A. has never elected a medical doctor as POTUS. We've elected career politicians, military people, businessmen, lawyers, peanut farmers, womanizers, con men......I could give a doctor a try.

Partial State control is called Socialism.

Single Payer is complete State control and is called Communism.

Let’s just say, it went downhill from him...

I sat near the back of the room and the facial reactions of some of the nearby faculty were priceless. They were pissed for weeks.

I want the days back when the government operated out of funky little offices with metal desks and tight budgets

“Save your money and put it in an interest-bearing account or Money Market fund.”

Wasn’t there a stipulation in the ACA that the IRS could take whatever you owed according to them out of your bank account? I believe so. The law allows the government to snatch money right out of your bank account as they deem you owe.

The catch-phrase we need to be using is “SOCIOECONOMIC FASCISM” - because that’s what it is when gov’t seeks to control social and economic free will.

When I tell liberals that Bork Obunga is a FASCIST, they recoil because they only know of military fascism — as in Hitler and Mussolini.

But, folks, THIS is FASCISM!
