Obamacare Should Remind Us We Are Not 'Subjects,' We Are People
CHRISTIAN POST ^ | DEC 20,2013 | LAURA HOLLIS,

Posted on 12/19/2013 11:10:36 PM PST by SWAMPSNIPER

The unveiling of the dictatorial debacle that is Obamacare absolutely flabbergasts me. It is stunning on so many levels, but the most shocking aspect of it for me is watching millions of free Americans stand idly by while this man, his minions in Congress and his cheerleaders in the press systematically dismantle our Constitution, steal our money, and crush our freedoms.

Dang. The “lyin’ king” is ready for his own weekly show on the comedy channel. He and his comedy writers have me in stitches.

Well said and I agree with everything but the last paragraph. The time for talking to our representatives is an exercise in futility. THEY DON’T CARE. They are as bad as Elmer Fudd, with their lies. They will do anything, say anything to keep their power over us.

John Boehner MUST be defeated. Lindsey Graham MUST be defeated. Mitch McConnell MUST be defeated. Peter King MUST be defeated. And every GOP-e that thinks they can win by being subservient to the commies.

Nicely written column, yet we can supposedly reverse tyranny through federal elections?

Rat ideology demands Obamacare. As a club to beat up rats, the pubbies like Obamacare almost as much.

Meanwhile, Obamacare is killing our rights, jobs and health care.

Which party has the general welfare in mind? Which one deserves loyalty?

Article V.

If you read Whitaker Chambers book “Witness”,you would know that the progressives,better known as Communists,strategy is to Create Chaos,in order to come riding in on their white horse to save the day.
It stuns me that all the pundits write and pontificate about what is happening and no one refers to Chambers writings,this man was raised by Communists,was a working agent of the Russians,worked underground organizing demonstrations,creating chaos,and explaining that during the time of the Red Scare,everyone feared communists so they changed their moniker to,PROGRESSIVE.Pundits should be encouraging everyone to read this man’s book,the strategy is all there FOLKS,including the exposing of Alger Hiss,communist spy,the leftists at the New York Times and all the communists who had infiltrated the US government,if you want to know why the left so disposed Richard Nixon that is in the book also.
Saul Alinsky is one thing,Whitaker Chambers is more informative,and remember The next Democrat Nominee for President describes herself as a Progressive

I'm not sure I agree with the author's sentiments on that. When it comes to ObamaCare, there's a reason why most Americans aren't up in arms over it: Americans don't understand the health care system, and they never did.

From a purely economic standpoint, ObamaCare is nothing more than a giant leap forward (or backward, depending on how you look at it) in a health care system that has been fatally flawed for decades. Even something as simple as the term "your doctor" hasn't been relevant for years. "Your doctor" doesn't work for you -- he or she works for the insurance company that pays the bills.

It's hard to criticize people for allowing their government to trample on their rights when they already surrendered those rights decades ago.

People rise up in anger when they are deprived of things they actually understand (or at least think they do). That's how you end up with a nation where people don't give a sh!t about ObamaCare but will risk life and limb in a mass of humanity at a Black Friday store opening on Thanksgiving night.

If you read Whitaker Chambers book “Witness”,...

Read it and bump what you said. It was the book that put it all together for me concerning contemporary politics. As you indicated, he gave continuity to the current events.

And I am sure that you read "Radical Son" by David Horowitz.

Bingo

They have to go.

How can it be American to force someone to buy something they do not want with penalty of a fine if they do not.

90% of people signing up for Obamacare are being placed on Medicaid. These peope do not realize that Medicaid must be paid back. At their death the property of these people will become Government property. They have no choice in reality. They take Medicaid and lose their property or they pay a fine. Hos is that legal in America?

ballplayer :"The next Democrat Nominee for President describes herself as a Progressive"

The woman " herself " wrote her Masters Thesis about Saul Alinsky , and his tactics .
To elect the woman ,"herself" , expect more Alinsky tactics in the governmental administration ,.. only more severe !!..
and will continue to be accompanied by the cheerleaders of the liberal media (fifth columnists ) .
Together , they would lead to the ultimate 'sell out' of citizen's Constitutional rights , and an increase of State Facism .
