Health Care is only Sleight of Hand allowing Government Takeover. To hear people discuss it you would swear that the government is concerned about human life. Get out of here. Our government could end thousands of deaths each day by eliminating tobacco sales. Now that would be controversial. Instead they tax it heavily for a nice little profit and ignore the dirty secret that they could care less about: American lives or should I say American deaths. What government cares about is more government. Governments like the ones our president wants to be like have killed millions of people.
The Washington Bunch is like a fish swimming in a cesspool. No matter which one you pick out they are bound to stink to high heaven. Who eats fish from a cesspool? No one, but we swallow the crap they stir up and scoop out of the cesspool.
One of the things I love about people is their ability to hope. Americans are hopeful people. Most Americans have ancestors who hoped for a better life here. All of us have is better than most of the world and probably better than any of our ancestors. Why all of a sudden do we need someone who knows nothing of life in America to want to “Fundamentally Change” it? Maybe you went to Harvard on someone else’s dime but not me. I worked for what I got and that included my education. I don’t have healthcare now and I don’t want it if it comes with a Socialist price tag.
Sure, young Americans and some classes of our society have been educated into a sense of entitlement. As a kid I thought the idea of Santa was good too. Sooner or later you have to grow up and accept responsibility for your own selves. Baby birds don’t always want to leap out in faith and sometimes the parents have to push them. It is often the same with human children. Parents find that it can be tough to wean them. Actually it is harder for the parent to stop giving than it is for the kids to make their own way.
Now you can compare Obama to countless despicable politicians. I don’t compare him to anything. He is unlike anything I have experienced in my 60 years. He is a president but not the people’s president. He got the job but a leader without followers is merely out walking. His intentions are clear yet people act awestruck by his actions. To say that he lies is to say Mt. Everest is kind of tall. To trust him with anything is beyond all reason. He has to go. Impeachment? Succession from the Union? Elections? Whatever? If you woke up the day before the attacks on Pearl Harbor knowing what was going to happen would you sit on your thumbs or do something. Shout it out. Obama has to go. Oh yes do take Nancy and Harry with you.
May God raise a leader in from among us to return America to her foundations. I continue and I hope.

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
FDR gave us the welfare state and government largess.
Carter gave us Iran and the middle east we have today.
Obama is trying to finish the job.
I prefer to call him a Counterfeit Prince with Faustian schemes. Except he is selling our souls.
You left one off of the list of choices, Revolution is probably the last choice but don’t leave it out
Ken has an edge tonight. I like it! Well said Ken.
Excellent post Ken!
What I find amazing is that his poll numbers are as high as they are. He should actually be in the low 30s and that would account for all the radicals in this country. People need to stop listening to his words and starting taking notice of his actions.
I’m starting to think succession may become our only hope. If we can stop Amnesty we might be able to turn things around before it’s to late.
Trestin, I must admit that I largely think the pendulum has swung farther than most of us care to admit. Thomas Jefferson said so eloquently wrote “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.” Only in recent months have Americans been awakening to the “evils we suffer” having been in a stupor. Ignorance and Indifference are not are allies but try to talk to those who do not frequent these blogs and that is what you will find. I do not favor succession. I favor the remaining “sane” states throwing out the communist ones like NY, California, Illinois, etc. We remain the United States and they, well who gives a rip what they call themselves.
