Will America's bucking bronco finally be broken?

You don't break a young bronco just by beating it. You break it by making it feel helpless -- confining it in a small corral, isolating it from the herd, running it around and around on a short rope, feeding it only when it follows commands, making friends with it, whipping it as needed, and making sure that it knows who's boss every second of the day. In the end the colt knows there's just no way out.

That's the real motivation behind "Universal Healthcare"  Obama is trying to sell us Euro-socialism, which means bribing and intimidating people with their own tax money and corralling everyone with an endless sea of laws and regulations, until they know they can never fight City Hall. The crux of ObamaCare is centralizing power; everybody is made helpless except the politically connected.

Eurosocialism is the power of the elites to break the will power of ordinary people by any means. You can kill with kindness, and if that doesn't work, with overwhelming control.  It means controlling the supply of life-saving medical care, and punishing people for tiny infractions of Political Correctness, as defined by the power class.  Ordinary people end up wading in a swamp of threats, rewards and propaganda that keeps them intimidated and cowed. Nobody wants to be accused of being a racist, a smoker, or a hater -- or whatever the target of the moment happens to be. Using media, indoctrination, taxes, doctors and cops, you corral people like a young bronco by making them helpless. 

In Europe the Political Class is now impossible to throw out. Elections make no difference. The Ruling Classes are locked into permanent power just like Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi. It's just the old European aristocracy under a new label. The permanent Ruling Class sends out an endless stream of commands, and the only appeal is to the bureaucracy itself. Franz Kafka had it right.

In European countries that used to stand for exemplary honesty and decency, corruption has now become pervasive, and it is never punished. In the UK, Gordon Brown's ruling Labour Party was just exposed for routinely double-billing the taxpayers for second houses and a hundred other little extras. The newspapers were filled with genuine outrage from ordinary people. With what result? Nothing happened. Nobody got fired or demoted. Gordon Brown just decided not to have general elections until things looked better for the Labour mafia.

That's not democracy. It is just another locked-in class system. That's how you break a bronco, and how you can break people as well.

What Marx called the Organs of Propaganda are the big stick of social control. The BBC is a great example. The Beeb has only one mission: To propagandize the little people on behalf of the Socialist Ruling Class. The Beeb will lie every minute of the day, stamp out the truth, and above all control everything people see and hear, day in and out. No human mind can resist the polluted river of propaganda. The Corporation has panel trucks going up and down every residential street in the UK, triangulating all the home TV antennas to see if they have paid their Broadcast License Fee. If not, they get hit with a hefty fine. Result: You can't have a radio or TV turned on without being spotted and paying the tax. It doesn't matter if you actually listen to the Beeb. (They are doing the same thing with internet connections even now. Look for it in your neighborhood.)

Just look at the decline of Britain's armed forces. In Europe the armies are welfare programs. The Socialists are ball-and-chaining soldiers. The need to buy votes for the National Health Service drains off all the money.  That is why they still need America to defend them, sixty years after World War Two, and twenty years after the Cold War.

That's Obama's model. Obama is a hierarch: He lives for power, and feels natural only when he arrogates total control to himself. Socialized medicine is the key, because control over your health means the power over life and death. Once the Democrats control one-sixth of the US economy they can hang on to power for good.

We face a stark choice. The Left thinks it is winning. They want total control, but they will accept a foot in the door.

I hope we don't give them even a foot in the door, because our house will never be safe again.

...and I'm here to help you.

I couldn't care less about being called a racist. In fact, now that it means someone who opposes Obama, it's a badge of honor.

The dims went to that well too many times.

I have long thanked people who call me a red neck. If they ask why I thank them I point out that an Ad Hominem attack indicates they have no facts at their disposal to counter what I have said.

Best D%^n article EVER posted..about healthcare...

“and I think we’ll see open, raw force from him as he realizes that Americans are beginning to resist.”

Yes, it’s frightening to think of a battalion of fat metrosexuals marching south from New York to hit Texans over their heads with purses.

[livius]

I wish!

One of the first things that Obama did upon taking office was try to determine to what extent the military reported to him personally and was under his orders. I remember reading about this and being puzzled by two things: first of all, that he was even asking the question; and secondly, why he should immediately think in terms of himself personally, and not the country.

At the time, I wrote it off to his embarrassing, moving-on-up stupidity, like regarding AF1 as a just a flashy, cool toy that was his to play with. But now I’m beginning to wonder.

“One of the first things that Obama did upon taking office was try to determine to what extent the military reported to him personally and was under his orders... why he should immediately think in terms of himself personally, and not the country.”

That just tells me of obuma’s psychotic meglomania, of which I’m in agreement. It doesn’t give him an “army.”

We all remember last winter when obuma called out his “army” to go door-to-door and demand that citizens sign fealty oaths to obuma.

Nobody showed up.

What obuma does have is a cult of fat Marxist savages shaking the bushes and pretending it’s an army.

It’s classic Sun-Tzu. But neither Alinsky nor obuma understand Sun-Tzu. It’s not surprising to me that they don’t understand because neither was raised in the warrior culture. Even Hitler had enough brains not to insult the military and veterans, which obuma seems to do weekly.

Sorry but I felt this way under Bush. He was in a corral and would not fight. We are fighting now and letting them know they will not control our lives. Find the video of the Marine at Baird's town hall.

[Outlaw Woman]

No...I’m sorry... I’m sorry that you were blinded about Bush. I’m sorry that many in this country apparently have no concept of liberty or the ramifications of voting. We shouldn’t be in a position of having to fight and yet, due to the irrational hatred of Bush, then Palin and a complete lack of understanding of the constitution or what it means to be free, here we are. I’m now forced to contemplate the fact that I may have to fight to the death.

[Ditter]

Same here. I don’t see as many nObama bumper stickers on cars anymore but I defiantly get the urge to ram them when I am in traffic.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Excellent. I’m with Moms for Bucking (!)

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

Please find that video that is what I am saying. I am with you, no surrender. My grand kids are my life and they will be vindicated.

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

WATCH THE VIDEO:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rRE5UK6NQU That is what I am saying. I am with you, no surrender. My grand kids are my life and they will be vindicated.

From what I see, read, and hear, many citizens in our country would prefer civil war to socialism.
I'm not preaching war but when you have a congress who openly admits that they will vote against the will of the people that does not leave THE PEOPLE many choices.

The only way this will stop is for us to convince the elected officials that we mean business. That we will stop and defeat them, whatever it takes.

Nothing less will end this.

The hot summer Town Hall meetings have certainly not gone un-noticed. Possibly ignored, but not un-noticed.

You can tease the tail of the dragon only so long, before you get a fiery response. We are approaching that.

Next step is the State level 10th amendment efforts. Those are coming soon in Texas and other states. The line in the sand is probably already drawn. It is only a matter of seeing if they take us seriously.

While this is unlikely to occur in the United States (given the acute shortage of guillotines),...

But there's plenty of bagel guillotines to use as models! Just remember the Home Depot motto: "You can do it. We can help."

[Cacique]

A foot in the door is OK as long as I get to chop it off.
