It begs the question: WHO SHIVES A GIT!
This is reminiscent of the fall of Rome when — with the barbarians at the gates — the citizens raged through the streets demanding more “bread and circuses.”
The difference between then and now is that the effing barbarians are IN the city and occupy positions of power.
It seems that technology has allowed America and the West to compress into a little over 200 years what it took the Romans over 2,000 to accomplish: DESTROY THEMSELVES.
Mr. Jefferson predicted it 2 centuries ago after he and his contemporaries created a system that would produce more wealth for more people than any before it or since:
“Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic but will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance WITHOUT CHARACTER IS THE PATH TO DESTRUCTION.”
Amen!

After he's been tried for treason and received the proscribed penalty and Ubamacare has been erased and the Fed abolished and Jon Corzine and a few thousand other radical Communists imprisoned for life, I might think about being grateful.

Until then, no.

When I couldn’t hide my shock, he went on to explain his perspective: eventually the socialist ideology in our country would over-tip its hand, and then the people would wake up and elect a modern-day Reagan.

Oh how I wish we could even get a modern-day Reagan on the ticket!!!!

The liberal statist mindset behind Obamacare is that the destruction of the healthcare insurance industry will lead to a single payer system via big brother government.

While they may succeed in destroying the healthcare insurance industry, I seriously doubt that Americans will go willingly into a single payer system.

This leaves the free market... which has been pretty much absent for a LONG time in the health care industry.

So, in the long run, it may very well be that Obamacare WILL eventually lower health care costs... but in the opposite way in which liberals intended.

For that I guess I can be thankful... but not to Obama but rather to God for protecting us from him.

There is a monument to the boll weevil in Enterprise, Alabama.

Even if this is pragmatic political goodness one must still do everything civicly, morally, and legally possible to stop 0bama’s destruction before it takes hold.

Australia works differently. They have a parliamentary system. So a conservative government can actually reverse some of the gains of the left. Here, the best we have ever accomplished is slowing down the rate of decline into statism.

It will take a century (of regularly elected conservatives) to reverse the damage Obama has done in five years.

We have nearly fifty percent of the population who pay no federal tax; they aren’t invested at all in the nations success and seek only what they can bleed from the government.. I don’t see those people cheering on a return to rugged individualism. We’re dealing with a fatal turn in the fate of America.

It would take 50 years of conservative government to undo everything Obama has done to this country.
