As members of Congress gathered in Capitol Hill today to try and finally ram through their $1.3 Trillion version of a Healthcare Bill, you may be witnessing the end of America as we have known it for the last 233 years. Despite pushback from Republicans, Democrats, unfavorable CBO scores, doctors and the majority of Americans, Nancy Pelosi and Congress have chosen not to heed their concerns. They have opted instead to put America and future generations on the brink of becoming the next Banana Republic.
On the heels of a report by the Center For Responsive Politics that shows that 44% or 237 members of Congress are millionaires – compared to 1% overall for Americans, our Congress just thumbed their noses at their constituents and have torpedoed the hopes and dreams of their children and grandchildren with a massive Healthcare Bill that will kill jobs, reduce Medicare services for the aged and increase everyone’s taxes.
The transparency that was promised to us by our President turned into backroom deals held exclusively by Democrats without any Republican input. The promise of televised debates on CSPAN, are nothing but a blur. The Town Hall Protests seem like years ago. The House Call Protests on Capitol Hill did little to dissuade politically hungry Congressmen & women to rethink their positions. And why should they? It is not going to affect them in anyway shape or form.
They will all continue to receive the best Cadillac plans afforded to them as long as they remain in office. Most are so rich that even if they left office, they could still afford to buy the best healthcare available. These are filthy rich people who on the whole are out of touch with the common man. You can rest assured that Nancy Pelosi will never have to worry about paying for her Botox or Joe Biden for his hair transplants.
From day one this has been an assault on America’s Freedom. It was never about reforming Healthcare. This has always been about turning this country into the final Nanny State. America is that last bastion of self independent nations and this has irked this President to no end. His quest to unseat America as the greatest country in the world has finally come within his grasp.
The slayer of the greatest country in the world, will be applauded by nations around the world. What our enemies and terrorists have not been able to accomplish for hundreds of years, Barack Obama will have done in a year’s time.
The Single Payer system that he coveted and talked about so passionately behind closed doors to his radical cronie’s, is finally at his finger tips. He has heeded Rahm Emanuel’s cry of “ Never Let a good crisis go to waste” and is now on the precipice of dropping the guillotine on the neck of the best healthcare system in the world.
He has played on people’s sentiments, he has strongarmed opponents, he has threatened allies, he has shut off the voices of the American people, he has attacked the opposing media and all along never delivered on the crucial elements of Healthcare Reform - affordability, deficit neutrality and bipartisanship. He has been shackled by the Left and led by Pelosi and company. He has never once listened to America. Where are the amendments to break the back of Trial Lawyers that prey on Doctors like vultures on a dead carcass? Where are the incentives to open up competition in the Private Insurance industry across state lines?
If competition is what is missing, why not allow the over 1700 medical insurance companies to compete amongst themselves? They were never going to be a part of this bill or any other bill that the Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats put out.
The crucial elements of reform have all been thrust aside for the sake of just passing a damn bill. The Public option is how they will finally bring America to her knees. The last great independent nation is being cut to pieces by an ideology foreign to many Americans in this country. For 100 years the Left has tried to take away Americans Freedom to choose their own doctors and institute a Government Healthcare Program. For 100 years, Americans have rejected this idea as fundamentally wrong. A hundred years later it is still fundamentally wrong. But this time around, far too many have sold their souls, have bowed to pressure, have been silenced, have been ridiculed, have been mocked, and cast aside. The will of today’s American has been slowly eroded by years of bashing the rich and conservatives. They have molded the minds of many young , of the impressionable, of the lost.
They have taken advantage of a generation of politically correct, passive and permissive men & women who have been misinformed but remain star struck. A generation of pacifists that more and more shows a lack of fortitude and a strong work ethic. A generation that has been transformed into followers instead of leaders. A generation that has forgotten how to work hard to earn a living. A generation that has more & more become dependent on the government for their needs. Somehow redistribution or taking away the fruits and labor of the haves to give them to the have some and have none, has become the rallying cry.
This day November 7th 2009, will perhaps go down in history as the day that America lost it’s Independence. To think that over two hundred years ago, courageous men stood up and claimed our independence under extreme circumstances. Men who fought for Freedom only to have it surrendered to and taken away by a handful of power hungry Congressmen & women. A freedom, that our children and grandchildren will now never get to see.
