I imagine the German Jews were asking themselves that question in 1938.

Because it’s not OUR government anymore?

"Why is Our Government Doing This to Us?"

Why?

Because after it is all said and done there is one undeniable truth about American Politics.

"You get the Government you vote for."

Good analogy. Sad one as well.

Since those that don ‘t know history are doomed to repeat it, the sheeple won ‘t be fighting back until after the gulag gates close behind them.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Dr. Obama says you might be better off just taking the blue pill.

The latest news on the WSJ is that the radical Islamists have taken over the weapons and supplies that Obama sent to the rebels and kicked out the rebels.

It is now Al Qaeda vs Assad.

I wonder which side Obama is on.

CZAR GOSNELL GOEBBELS is the spokesman for the Democraps! The assault on our Healthcare system is really DEMOCRAP CARE. Former Sen. Bayh of IN asked on one of the Sunday talk shows, back when the Healthcare legislation was first passed, "Why is there so much anxiety and surprise? His Party has been trying to incrementally implement this for the past 50 years."

Once the DEMOCRAPS got control of the Oral Office (of Clinton) and both houses of the Congress, they decided to go for the whole ball of wax. The DEMOCRAPS wrote it; they passed it in both houses of the Congress without a single vote from the other Party; and Goebbels has been out on the campaign trial ever since reading his teleprompter and raising funds.

This must be hung around the necks of everyone who voted for it. They must be held accountable the next time they seek election, 2014 until they are all flushed from the Congress as you would your toilet!

Not my govt. I rejected the scumbags. That said, I’m proud of our Military, Agencies, and Engineers. And that includes the NSA.

Obamacare was sold to the Zer0 Info-bots as the way to bring healthcare to the uninsured.

I knew it was all a lie to sneak in Communism. As I have said before, These are K Street whores working to destroy our healthcare system with the syphilis of Marxism. They could have given direct healthcare assistance to the uninsured without taking over 1/6th of the U.S. economy.

Who are the 39.9 million uninsured in the US? 5.9 million are children eligible for Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Others are in families wealthy enough to afford healthcare without going through an insurance middle man.

12 million are illegal aliens.

That leaves 22 million. Many of these are uninsured because they lost a job. Others are only temporarily uninsured. Figures on the long term uninsured show approximately 18.5 million who have been uninsured for a period longer than four years. Of those, many are young people who have good health and choose not to pay for health insurance.

Let’s say we gave each of the 18.5 million subsidized health insurance. For an individual, an annual premium averages $3000. To pay for them it would cost $55.5 billion. In March 2010, CBO and JCT projected that the provisions of the ACA related to health insurance coverage would cost the federal government $151.8 billion annually to administer. At $55.5 billion we could have got healthcare for the uninsured at a bargain.

Instead, the DemonRATs have created a monster that will devour our bastions of medical research, run out of business America’s doctors, deny medicine, deny care, raise the cost of deductibles, close hospitals, lose jobs and the consequences of everything it does will spill out into unimaginable disaster. As more Americans will be kicked out of their healthcare insurance, what happens if there are more uninsured than before Obamacare? Will we be seeing more uninsured Americans dying because they were unable to afford the more costly health insurance? If so, the purpose of Obamacare will be defeated by more sick Americans and dead Americans. And Americans will have to see that the only answer is the defeat of this ill conceived Death Pill that is poised to kill off a large segment of its productive Americans.

“Why is Our Government Doing This to Us?”

Because the fraud paper lobby sold the fraud paper systemically. And fraud paper is not an “industry”: propagandist speak.
