Violence isn’t the best answer, but it is inevitable.
Violence isnt the best answer, but it is inevitable.
I disagree. It’s both inevitable and the best answer. The reason it’s both is that it is — alas — the ONLY communication the left understands. We know this because the left enacts social policies that work by inflicting violence on citizens. Zerocare is the use of force against peaceful citizens. Period.
I don’t think we should initiate violence...merely be ready to use it if necessary. We should passively resist zerocare to see just how far the left will go to enforce it. If the left initiates violence, then it has declared open war.
I urge FReepers to consider the following: if the left does not at least feel the sting of FEAR of violence from conservatives and libertarians, and if we passively roll over and cave in to IRS agents enforcing compliance with mandates to purchase health insurance, then that will convince the left that we are frauds. Unfortunately, history — especially 20th century European history — proves that when dealing with the left, the threat of force, and sometimes the use of it, are the only ways it respects.
I posted earlier that the first thing one might do — a very simple thing, I think — is to make an appointment with one’s doctor and urge him or her to quit medicine. I’m quite sure no other patient will have mentioned this. Also suggest a Web site called practiceabroad.com, established by MDs, for MDs, as a kind of advice portal on how to set up a practice outside of the United Socialist States.
Secondly — again, judging by 20th century European history of leftist takeovers of countries — get as much of your money or wealth as you can OUT of the U.S., because foreign exchange controls are sure to follow socialized medicine. It’s imperative for the left to keep private sector wealth from flowing out of the country because THEY WANT IT, and they need it to fund all of their redistributionist schemes. Guaranteed, political elites will be either exempt from any such controls (just as congress and staffers are exempt from obamacare) or they already have wealth posted outside of the country. I have no specifics on where to go, but you must start thinking this way and investigating on your own.
