I am finding it difficult to maintain my focus for this post as I have just learned that the US House of Representatives has passed the treasonous "Health Care Bill" foisted on us by "Nazi" Pelosi and her minions. This bill, if it becomes law, will either be the death of our individual liberty or a precursor to civil disobedience and, perhaps, civil war. It is a move calculated, in my opinion, to move us closer to a Marxist form of government with the political elite comfortably in possession of all the means of production in this nation and untouched by the unconscionable laws they inflict on the people. As B. Hussein Obama learned in his college days, a Marxist revolution can be achieved through reckless spending sprees, causing the system to "collapse under its own weight." The aim is tyranny. The masks of the "progressives" are coming off and they don't care. They are determined to make this dash for a dictatorship regardless of our demands to the contrary.
These clowns, who gave us the recent economic collapse, have lied about and bankrupted social security, medicare and medicaid, have mismanaged and corrupted every facet of their present operations now expect us to smilingly stroll into slavery under their total control of the health care system. They can't run the Postal Service or "Cash for Clunkers," but we're supposed to believe they can do a better job of managing our lives than we can.
IT IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!
There is little more that I can say without becoming entirely enraged and I don't want to damage my computer. I will leave it to a couple of founders who must be doing cartwheels in their graves today:
"Suppose a nation, rich and poor, high and low, ten millions in number, all assembled together; not more than one or two millions will have lands, houses, or any personal property; if we take into the account the women and children, or even if we leave them out of the question, a great majority of every nation is wholly destitute of property, except a small quantity of clothes, and a few trifles of other movables. Would Mr. Nedham be responsible that, if all were to be decided by a vote of the majority, the eight or nine millions who have no property, would not think of usurping over the rights of the one or two millions who have? Property is surely a right of mankind as really as liberty. Perhaps, at first, prejudice, habit, shame or fear, principle or religion, would restrain the poor from attacking the rich, and the idle from usurping on the industrious; but the time would not be long before courage and enterprise would come, and pretexts be invented by degrees, to countenance the majority in dividing all the property among them, or at least, in sharing it equally with its present possessors. Debts would be abolished first; taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all on the others; and at last a downright equal division of every thing be demanded, and voted. What would be the consequence of this? The idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would rush into the utmost extravagance of debauchery, sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them. The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet,' and 'Thou shalt not steal,' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free." [The Works of John Adams. 1787.]
Thomas Jefferson in his first inaugural address said,
"Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. ...
"Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities. ...
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you, it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies; the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided; absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism; a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened; the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith; encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason; freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." (emphasis added.)
This nation and its so-called leaders have departed so far from the principles of the founding and held dear by the founders themselves that it is difficult to discern any similarity between what now is and what once was! If the voice of the people openly and knowingly demands a tyrant at their head, so be it. They would deserve what they get for ignoring the warnings of history, nature and of nature's God! (see 1 Samuel chapter 8.)
But today's progressives cloak their agenda in smooth and comforting rhetoric and smiling lies. They undermine from within while assuring us they have our interests, our well-being--even our liberty--at heart. They create false crises, like "climate change," to make us more malleable. They change the language and design catch phrases that sound benign or favorable to hide their true agenda of slavery and tyranny. And after decades of eroding constitutional government and the principles that underpin individual liberty, they are now springing their trap on us all.
They now believe that they have sufficiently weakened the resolve of the American people to begin to take off the masks and advocate for Marxism and state control of industry and individual lives. I pray they are wrong.
It is my conviction that this nation has never faced such a threat before--to be assailed from within by the presumed guardians of our Constitution and our freedom. Hitler and the soviets never had such access to the inner workings of our government, our education system, the control of our media. It is likewise my conviction that if patriots can emerge from this present crisis victorious, that we will have begun to repay the debt we owe to the heroes and martyrs among our fathers--those who valiantly defended freedom at the expense of their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor." We will have done our part and kept the faith for our children and grandchildren and they will look to our generation with the same sense of awe with which we view our predecessors who defeated Nazism and tyranny for over two centuries.
Let's take a look at what our "Dear Leader" has said on the subject (remember, it was Karl Marx who coined the concept of "from each according to his means, to each according to his need"):
One final thought. Read these words from the Declaration of Independence and ponder its relevance to our present situation. These vile usurpers in the US Congress have been and are robbing us of our liberty and our divinely granted rights. At what point will this degrade from civil debate to civil war? I pray that never happens, but how many of these insufferable incursions on our liberties can we endure?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these [United States]; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present[, self-proclaimed] King ... is a [brief but destructive] history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
