Health Care Passes: A Small Step for Nancy Pelosi, A Giant Leap for Despotism
Pajamas Media ^ | November 8 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 11/08/2009 9:11:35 AM PST by AJKauf

Minding your own business is not what the Obama administration or Nancy Pelosi is about. Lenin put it well 1917: “What socialism implies above all is keeping account of everything.” Last night, those who would be your masters in Washington took another step toward usurping one-sixth of the U.S. economy and arrogating to themselves control over your medical care. Here’s the question: are we sheep? Or are we free citizens?

I hope, I pray, that a critical mass of people will line up behind the second alternative. Obama speaks of Hope and Change. His hope is to transform the United States into a hamstrung socialist redoubt. His idea of change is to bleed the United States of its wealth, its military might, and the legacy of individual liberty that has made it a cynosure of freedom the world over. We do not have to let him and his czars and enablers do this to us. But the hour is late. If we do not vigorously challenge this government putsch at the polls, the chains now being forged may well be too heavy, too crippling, to be shaken off....

Kennedy wrote ‘Profiles in Courage’.

It’s too late, folks. We didn’t start the fight soon enough. The white house and press are controlled by communists and “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” republicans. Sorry, but I don’t see a way out. Gathering on the capitol steps does no good. And it won’t be long before gathering will be outlawed. Listen to the way the “leaders” talk about us and how dangerous we are. Those who have the most guns in D.C. are criminals and security personel who work for criminals. They’re ready to shoot us down.

We simply need to cast ALL of our cares upon God.

Challenging at the polls may offer some respite, some small oasis of “feel-good”, but it’s my belief that things are already past that point. The game of catch-up is going to have to be ten times more intense than it is now, and that means ACTION. THat means being willing to figure the strategy for stopping this Administration from doing further harm, and being willing to commit to that strategy. THAT will mean massive protests and resistance of the sort that some Americans did before, before the called themselves free people, before they threw off the shackles of their Colonial Masters. We now have new Colonial Masters, of BOTH parties, with maybe 10% of self-redeemed or redeemable Republicans who should remain. We have to stop feeding the beast, as someone said.
This President, and basically, all Leftists worldwide are in the business of using one another to achieve globalist ends-—with Obama as their confederate, the task is seen to be easier for them.
The beast is not fed for our benefit, but for the benefit of whoever or whatever interests have seduced virtually ALL American politicians to do their bidding, and find new and varied ways to fine, punish and tax us into oblivion.
I will NOT see four years of this kind of headlong rush into the kind of society Kimball, and everyone else who can still see clearly , is describing here.
I don’t know if I could bear to sit around and be this agitated every day at witnessing even the idealized scenario of “the education of Barack Obama”, you know, the one where he gets more moderate, and , hey, winds up being just more or less like Bill Clinton. No. We’re going to catch fire, and put out their fire, or get burnt ourselves.
For many generations to come.

The real problem here is not that they have taken over one sixth of the economy, it is that now ANYTHING that Congress says can impact your health (whoch they now control) can be regulated (taxed), like fast food, soft drinks, alcohol, you name it, if some bureaucrat can make the claim that it impacts health care expenditures, expect to see it taxed, unless of course it is politically protected.
