Destroying America

Far more Americans are opposed to the health care bill passed by the Democrats last night than voted for Obama in 2008. Yet the Democrats, who see themselves as the champions of the people, have decided to ignore their constituency and show them that they alone know what is best but those in Congress and the Senate have happily exempted themselves from participating in Obamacare, a socialist usurpation of American freedom, which they have deemed good enough for the rest of us and for which we should be duly grateful. Thus has government outgrown the consent of the governed and come November, and again in 2012, they will discover just how grateful we are when we rescue our country and restore the rule of law by voting vast numbers of them out of office.

The greedy appetites of the left-wing liberals have been excited by this monstrous piece of legislation because it spreads the power and influence of government over every aspect of our national life and our personal affairs. It intrudes into what should be private matters and at the same time will lead to rationed care, sloppy medicine, demoralized health care workers, less innovation, lower standards, higher taxes, unsustainable debt, business closures, fewer job opportunities, a massive new bureaucracy plodding along and weighed down by government inefficiency, and the eventual destruction of the health insurance industry. If this awful bill was about health care reform and only health care reform it could not possibly have extended to 2,700 pages and we would not have been treated to the disgusting spectacle of the ugly process involving back-room deals, closed-door conspiracies, outright bribery, and political pay-offs. It would have included tort reform, portability of health insurance and the ability to purchase it across state lines. It's the biggest and most unvarnished power grab in the last 70 years and a ruinous scam of incalculable proportions. Soon we will be paying more in interest on the national debt than we are spending on national security. The imposition of a national sales tax is not far off. Our way of life is about to be drastically changed and not for the better. The entire process has been an embarrassing national disgrace and typifies the duplicity and arrogance which is the modus operandi of Obama and his Chicago minions.

This is an historical bill alright, historically unhealthy for all Americans. Of course, we could reduce the enormous cost of it a bit if the Ivy League gave refunds for its defective alumni.
