Wake up, America


Published November 6, 2009

Could it be that a major uprising is under way coming from the so-called average Americans. I am beginning to sense it. If so, there is overwhelming reason for it. The president and his sycophantic Democrat followers are stepping out way beyond where they should. They are trying to shove their health care initiative down our collective throats, and I believe they know we don’t like it. But they are determined, if they can, to do it anyway. The polls seem to be reflecting that the conservatives of America are finally getting their fill of these totally thoughtless and ruthless actions of the left. I truly hope it is so!

Would anyone have believed one year ago that an unelected person appointed by the president would be allowed to assume the power to unilaterally dictate the salaries of officers who run American corporations? Or would anyone ever have imagined that the president would try with all the power of his office to get two 1,000 page-plus spending bills passed by the congress so quickly and deviously that there was no time for anyone to read them, let alone to deliberate them.

Well ... wake up, America. He got the first one done! It was the largest spending bill in American history ... and nobody even read it. But he hasn’t gotten the second one done yet. And he will not be able to if we stand up against it — a potentially disastrous health care bill presented as a public option. It will not be an option!

A government insurance company does not and will not ever have to make a profit. Get it? The only rationale for a “government insurance company” is to incrementally destroy the private sector insurance industry. And then the Democrats, or so they think, will have the ultimate control over us all ... the power of life and death. And this is the point ... power ... the power of life and death. Anyone ought to be able to see through this veiled but nonetheless outrageous assault on our freedoms.
