Hey, I’ve reported suspicious behavior in airports trying to keep people safe, so I suppose I need to be a good American and report on myself now, lest one of my far smarter and morally superior acquaintances does it first.
Here goes…
I have nothing but contempt for the President of the United States and Democrats in the House and Senate.
Contempt, loathing, hell’s bells, I’ve treated them all to brutal setdowns.
And I, personally, am vehemently opposed to Obamacare or ANY government interference or endeavor in healthcare, health insurance, or any further intrusion into my life.
This is a President who thought members of the military wounded in action should pay for their own recovery.
Do you honestly think he’s gonna give a damn about your kid’s heart, leg, or brain?
(And, if you do, I may have a real estate opportunity for you in coastal Kansas.)
Moreover, if any proposed healthcare system will not be the only coverage and care possible for our elected officials, including the President of the United States, then I feel it is not adequate for any child of this land.
Next, the federal government has no business being in business. The fact of the matter is, they haven’t managed a successful program yet. Amtrak=Joke. Medicare/Medicaid=Broke. Social Security=Ponzi Scheme. United States Postal Service=Can’t run in the black. Cash-for-Clunkers=irresponsible, wasteful, un-“green” promotion that does little but steal from some taxpayers to enrich others while propping up the Government’s ridiculous adventure in automobile manufacturing.
If Cash-for-Clunkers ran out of money in less than a week, will Obamacare run out of money in less than a month?
I am deeply, vehemently opposed to mortgaging my children and my grandchildren’s future to provide healthcare to 7% of the population. It isn’t fair. It isn’t wise. And Obama and his galloping hordes can’t be trusted to do it. There is far too much corruption, too much pay-to-play, too much creep on my civil liberties. Joe the Plumber saw right through Obama’s socialist agenda and when he pointed it out, Obama’s thugs went rooting into Joe’s past, digging up dirt. Nevermind the fact that he wasn’t a public official, nevermind the illegality of their actions. This is Hope and Change. This is what we’ve been waiting for?
Instead of reading, considering, and debating bills we just vote, sign, and to hell with the consequences? Yep, that’s change.
Instead of reporting suspicious behavior that puts people’s lives in jeopardy we inform on people with unapproved anti-Obama opinions? Yep, that’s change.
Instead of providing a framework of government that allows people a chance to work hard and realize the American dream, we tax people until they are no longer economically feasible to socialized medicine then we put them out to pasture as drains on the system? Yep, that’s change.
Instead of recognizing the long-standing friendship shown to us by some nations we spit on them? Yep, that’s change.
Instead of standing up to tyrants and terrorists we embrace them, giggle, and agree that the USA is criminal? Yep, that’s change.
Of “Hope”, sadly, there is little.
Look, if you want some committee of government stooges deciding what you can and cannot do to your body, you are insane. The left has long been a firm voice for a woman’s right to choose what happens to her own body but are woefully quick to abdicate that right now. You are not going to have any choice anymore. If you are pregnant and it is determined that your child has a congenital heart defect and will be a permanent drain on the national healthcare system, will they make you abort it?
Suppose you are 65 years old, retired, and need very expensive surgery and very expensive medicine. As you are nearing the end of your lifespan, aren’t you a bad investment for those nationalized healthcare dollars? You don’t actually think they’re going to care for you, do you?
Even if you were magically able to poof! all the big, tough questions away, one problem remains and it is insurmountable.
We simply can’t afford it. Increasing taxes on the “rich” isn’t going to get it done unless you redefine “rich” to mean anyone making $30K or more.
It is irresponsible and it is a freedom-killer.
If that puts me on the “enemies of the state” list, so be it.
Be warned, though: I’m not likely to go quietly when you come to reeducate me.
