Government health care... a huge elephant. The tail: Lip service to the 3 things people actually do want changed (affordability, pre-existing loopholes, and portability), plus willful ignorance of several items that actually could help achieve those 3 things (interstate competition, tort reform, actual portability). Then the elephant itself is massive government control and taxation in order to forever say that anyone who doesn't support the elephant, doesn't care about people. Meanwhile Democrats say "today we have helped a great many people." Dream on.
My favorite quote from this debacle (back when this bill was 1,000 pages and not 2,000): The only reason to have a 1,000 page bill is so you can hide things in it.
I would only ask, today, this day of turning our precious country over to Socialism for good, to take a good look around, those of you who "Rocked the Vote" and those who bought into the Bush bashing hype of Obama and his ilk, and even foolishly believed he was a pragmatist (some even do to this day!); take a good look and see what has been done.
You have willfully elected a smooth-talking Marxist into the highest office, who wasted NO time in appointing the likes of Valerie Jarrett (that devoted follower of Van Jones), Anita Dunn who relied on Jon Stewart and Mao Tse Tung a bit too much and seethed against FOX News, her chosen enemy to blame, Rahm Emanuel, Kevin Jennings, and on and on.
Breathe it in, folks. See what has happened... witness it, and own up to it. And if you wanted America to renounce Capitalism the way it has, and to take over businesses, and appoint a record number of czars positioned to circumvent traditional houses of government, then well done. You have succeeded. This must be a great day for you. But if you now realize that just maybe you were deceived by a large political movement that outspent their opponents 4 to 1 for the media to get elected, then now is the time to rock OUT the vote. People still have power at the polls.
Perhaps you now realize that a rock star may look cool, and/or sound cool, but is clueless when it comes to creating jobs, balancing a budget, or crafting a political system other than Communism. Hate to break it to you, but many rock stars are not even that good at making music either, as far as this jazzer is concerned. And did it ever occur to you that voting for what the rock star seems to want might be the worst thing for our country? And if the country fails, where does that leave you?
I want to recommend watching the HBO series John Adams. See what sacrifice people went through to give birth to this country. When the decision had to be made to stand up against the British Army and Navy, it literally did mean Liberty or Death. Would you now so casually cast it all away?
