Shed No Blood For Oppression

Do we conservatives REALLY want to end the government control of our health care? Just how serious are we in stopping this? I doubt we are motivated enough to damage the health care system in this manner, but if we were very dedicated to stopping this nationalization of our health care, we could make a huge statement to America. So much they would have to listen.

This is very radical idea that I propose. I know I will be crucified for suggesting this. People will hate me, even though I have done so much for others throughout my life. If conservatives were truly serious about stopping the nationalization of our health care, this could be done.

The answer is for conservatives to do NOTHING. No, this is NOT a proposal to stop paying taxes. This proposal is perfectly legal.

The campaign title is "shed no blood for oppression". We need to stop donating blood over a specific period of time.

If you read the book, "Who Really Cares", by Arthur C. Brooks, you will find that more conservatives than liberals (regardless of income) donate more blood. The liberals DEPEND upon us conservatives to be kind and generous, including our blood. We have always been generous in our charity. We have always responded when there was crisis in the blood donations. Knowing conservatives the way I do, we would never let someone die needlessly when it only takes a little bit of our time to save a life. As Christians, we feel it is our duty to help others in need. So I ask the Christians a simple question, "What extremes would you go to in order to save a human life?" Would you be willing to send some Soldiers into battle to stop oppression knowing that some Soldiers would be killed?

I suggest this "shed no blood for oppression" campaign for just two particular months. Those two months, which happen to be the most critical need for blood donations, are November and December.

The government can forcibly take our money. The government can forcibly dictate our health care, but the government cannot (at least right now), forcibly take our blood.

I have donated 11.5 gallons of blood (my official count, but I have actually donated more), but now I quit. I am calling for all of my fellow conservatives to protest this health care takeover by not donating blood in November and December in this "shed no blood for oppression" campaign. These two months will bring our health care system to its knees.

It is MY blood, and now I choose not to give it to you, America.

You want my blood America? Then give me back my freedoms, beginning with my health care. I will shed no blood for oppression.

Not a fan of your idea but a one-day medical strike to oppose health care makes sense to me. Only emergency aid should be rendered for a day. No appointments. No nurses. No “making the rounds”. Simply doctors and hospitals going “on strike” for a day.

Just to give them a little taste of what the future of ObamaCare will be like.

Good idea (although I never donated to begin with). With-hold your blood, with-hold your money, with-hold your brainpower in a socialists economy. Bankrupt the parasites.

We are at war with an enemy within. Witness yesterday’s and recent events.

>>>I am sorry you do not value freedom as much as I do.

I was going to call it a dumbass idea and let it go at that. But on consideration, the recipients are probably better off without your corpuscles. It would be like waking up from surgery and finding Newman had been your blood donor.
