The Socialists Won A Battle; Now It is Our Turn
by Dana LoeschYesterday was my son’s 9th birthday and for his present, the government jacked his future. As he sat in the floor and happily opened his gifts, Bart Stupak appeared on television and revealed that he’d sold his soul. The joy was sucked from the room, but my son didn’t notice – thank God for innocence. The faces of the adults in the room fell as Stupak held his presser, as Pelosi gained another YES vote for health control.
The scene was an eerie replay for me; eight-and-a-half years ago that same boy sat in his bouncy seat while cooing and kicking his legs as his father and I watched the twin towers crumble to dust on live television. The feeling was the same.
A lot of people ask why I and others do what we do.
The scene I just described is my answer.
Last night the Democrat party died as it drove a spear through the torso of the Constitution and passed legislation that the majority of Americans overwhelmingly opposed. Nancy Pelosi sauntered into the capitol surrounded by fellow socialists, carrying the gavel used in 1965 to pass the now-bankrupt Medicare.
All summer long Americans filled town halls, emailed, called, and faxed their lawmakers, and they were forsaken. They were called Nazis, racists, homophobes; they were threatened, beaten, and called stupid because they disagreed with the minority who feels that the government should run our lives. Our lawmakers unofficially stopped representing us last spring.
Last night, our legislators officially broke the contract with America that is the Constitution. Last night, they ceased to represent us. Last night, a new party was born; the malignant tumor that is the progressive caucus consumed the Democrat party from within and gave birth to the mainstream Socialist Party.
We have lost our right to determine our own care. Our businesses, the engine of our economy, will see an additional annual $52 billion in new taxes levied upon them. The HHS has determined premium caps which will force the cruelty of rationing to curtail costs from the fed to insurers, and down to our medical professionals. The IRS will now oversee health control and determine whether you are compliant:
A new analysis by the Joint Economic Committee and the House Ways & Means Committee minority staff estimates up to 16,500 new IRS personnel will be needed to collect, examine and audit new tax information mandated on families and small businesses in the ‘reconciliation’ bill being taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives this weekend, according to Brady.
“When most people think of health care reform they think of more doctors exams, not more IRS exams,” says U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady, the top House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee. “Isn’t the federal government already intruding enough into our lives? We need thousands of new doctors and nurses in America, not thousands more IRS agents.”
Democrats Socialists employed the fuzziest of math which the CBO confirmed with a ball-busting report on its true cost.
They rallied that “people have a right to health care,” which no one disputes: people have a right to health care but they do not have a right to another’s living. Socialists employed all sorts of dirty tricks, back room deals (a NASA admin job?), and intimidation. They twisted arms and convinced men of lesser character to compromise on their principles. They ignored their electorate. This legislation rotted in congress since summer because of the massive opposition from the American people.
At one point during last night’s debate, John Boehner was rebuked for giving the Socialists hell when reminded to “show dignity to the House.”
There is no dignity left in a House run by political prostitutes.
Nancy Pelosi, Lynn Woolsey, and other Socialist party members tried to play the sex card and exploit women by saying that they were ill-served in this current system. If they think that I and other strong women are as stupid as those within the Socialist party that ironically defend the likes of Bill Clinton, John Edwards, et al. then they’re bigger tools for the old, white patriarchy than I originally thought.
How dare these women sell out their own sex and presume to speak for all women. How dare these “feminists” devalue women as nothing more than victims so as to win support for a bill that invites the IRS and president-appointed medical board into their wombs and doctors’ exam rooms. My body my choice except when you want people to foot the bill for you, right? I believe Heidi Fleiss was arrested for no lesser action.
The Constitution and a 200-year-old understanding that a republic is governed by its people has been shredded with the passage of this bill. The Socialists are emboldened now; they will next come for our children under the guise of “education reform.” They will then come after our energy via cap-and-tax. They will continue to push and bust through every legal barrier we have of protecting our Founding Father’s intent until that shining city on a hill is a barren wasteland.
They have been crafting this plot for over 50 years.
We just woke up one year ago last month.
The future of our republic depends upon us making up lost time.
We lost this battle, not because we didn’t fight, not because we were silent, but because the Socialists in congress don’t care about us or our will.
This battle. There are many battles in a war. We have faced worse, patriots. We have, many times, faced what appeared to be unwinnable situations.
My grandfather served as a gunner aboard the USS Alabama in the Pacific theater during WWII. He spoke of how demoralized our country was after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and took out our entire Pacific fleet.
I thought about how God delivered the Israelites from Egypt.
I thought about how this country rallied the dawn after 9-11 when I woke up and saw flags hanging from the ticky-tacky houses all up and down my street.
I thought of how Great Britain, rallied by Winston Churchill, fought off the German invasion.
Or how Ulysses S. Grant pressed on after his first lost.
How many men and women have shed blood for this country? How many patriots took to the streets to defend this country blessed by God? Don’t you dare give up, patriots. Don’t you dare make their sacrifices in vain because you’re afraid of battle. Take no prisoners, suffer no fools, never surrender.
What – you thought you get this land scott-free? Liberty is never fully paid off and to be deserving of it one must be willing to fight for it on the battlefield, in the halls of congress, by involving yourselves in your communities. Such a struggle is not a burden, it is a privilege.
How bad do you want liberty? I’ve received several emails from folks who’ve said that they’re ready to move, to leave the country, and give up. I received an email the other day from a woman named Melanie who confessed that she just “doesn’t have time to get involved.” During a conversation about precinct captains with a gentleman at a recent protest, I was told that the commitment “sounds like too much time.”
My reply:
Get out.
Get out of my country any freeloader who possesses such an attitude, you betrayers of conservatism, of liberty. How dare you claim the belief of self-sustenance and individualism while warming your hands by another patriot’s fire, living off the fat of another patriot’s blood, sweat, and tears. As I said on my radio program last week: any one who dares call themselves a patriot and refuses to commit to maintaining their country’s liberty can burn in hades with the socialists who’ve jeopardized our children’s futures.
If you cannot commit several hours per week to maintain the liberty that others afforded you then you by your inaction and silent voice abet those who seek to destroy it.
This is not over. We won the battle of the hearts and minds and still congress trampled over us with an un-Constitutional bill that, for the first time, forces citizens to purchase a product.
We won the battle of persuasion. We’ve won talk radio. We’ve won cable news. We’ve won social media networks. We’ve won the street corners and the community participation and the phone banks and the 11th hour hat tricks. We’re going to win the money battle, next.
We have the Ensuring Liberty PAC, a committee that will give an engine boost and more muscle to the tea party movement by selecting carefully vetted candidates to run these reverse-Elijah Lovejoy legislators out on a rail.
We will plague the Socialists who sold us out, we will end their political careers, we will dog them at their every appearance, their every step, and when they see the yellow of the Gadsen flying uniform in the wind with the American flag they will fear us as a government should fear its people – NOT the other way around.
We will hold every Republican to the fire and so help us if they don’t fight until their last breath to repeal this massive affront to liberty we will burn them in effigy along with the traitors to the Constitution.
We will insert ourselves into every branch and level of public service and devour our party so we will never have to worry about another impotent candidate ascending to power again, so we never again have to worry about being bulldozed by tyrants.
We will bring back the relationship between our churches and temples and the people and fight against the government’s attempt to sever volunteer charity and axe charitable deductions as a way to force more people under its thumb by way of no other options.
We’re going to seek out those small business owners who have spoken up and those who are speaking up, albeit it softly due to fear, and we’re going to bless them with our patronage.
We will modify our strategy and not damage ourselves with an inability to see the forest for the trees or an inability to recognize strategy.We will get off the cutesy little trend of hating the GOP and realizing that while we were drowning in apathy and Paris Hilton, and JLo and whatever mind-numbing vestige of a crumbling society we had people like Michelle Bachmann, Paul Ryan, John Boehner, Mike Pence, and more battling the demons of the Socialist party.
And what happened? We, myself included, blamed an entire party for leaving the base to which we failed to tether it. Did we fail to realize that had it not been for some people within the GOP, we would already be far more socialist than that which we’re currently facing? We cannot start a new movement by passing the buck. This situation isn’t the fault of the Socialists, the Republicans, the hippies, Heidi Montag, or anyone else.
I am thankful for grace. Credit is due this party for holding rank during this latest legislative battle.
We are responsible for our own vigilance. Do not betray the essence of the movement by denying this responsibility. Do not leave the lions in the party, whose platform best mirrors our own, out to dry. I will fiercely support those who support my freedoms and you should, too. I will fiercely support the best strategy to win.
Don’t ask me to respect the office any longer. Respect is a two-way street and the office failed to respect the will of the American people. I, you, owe “the office” nothing. “The office” works for us. I’m not a serf that must verbally-fellate the office of the presidency just because some hustler managed to twist the arms of weak-willed sycophants into betraying the people whom they are to serve. Don’t snow job me into thinking I’m less of a patriot because I refuse to honor an administration that obliterated the very definition of liberty last night. Don’t be ironic.
I said last July that this is no time for nancies. This is the dawn of the modern-day sons and daughters of liberty. We must heed the call of action and with courageous steps and humble hearts work against tyranny. We will guard our hearts and we will realize that the only fight worth having is a fight on the right side of God. We will not allow our opposition to have the final defeat of using our frustration to make us as they are.
You need to decide right now: will you fight to preserve liberty? Will you give of your time, your money, your passion so that your future generations will benefit? Will you get behind groups like ELPAC, candidates who can best win the race and most mirror our platform? Will you become an evangelist for liberty?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
- Samuel Adams

A bunch of people who are Democrats have some VERY bad karma today. Oh yes, yes, yes.
I decided several months back that those of us who still love liberty are going to have to fight for it. Right now we have an administration that has told the American people loud and clear that he knows our minds better than we do. I have not been this angry since I caught my husband having an affair, at least I could divorce him, but this–you are right Dana, we have to take up the gauntlet and do all we can to save this country for our children. Our parents did not leave us a broke, indebted nation with more obligations than we could ever pay.
homophones
I think you meant homophobes?
Sorry, didn't mean to nitpick.
“people have a right to health care."
Not without a Constitutional Amendment
One thing's certain: I am no longer playing nice — being civil to leftists has ended. If you voted for this party, you are partly responsible.
I've spent hours informing myself, and I have the Constitution and the Founders behind me — all the intellectual ammunition I need. My goal is no longer to win debates, but to crush and humiliate my opponents.
A Pox upon the House (and Senate)!
With Obamacare being forced down our throats, now is not the time to shrivel away. Now is the time to stand up and fight back harder then ever before. Will you join us on a campaign to DESTROY THE MOUTHPIECE OF OBAMA'S SOCIALIST AGENDA, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA? WE ARE IN A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY, A FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. Join the fight here, http://sosssn.blogspot.com/
For obama and congress.

A very sad day in America.
Don't despair, guys: fight back.
Amen! I am in mourning today, but tomorrow is a new battle. It's time we stop pulling our punches.
God Bless America.
You're stupid if you think the Democrats are socialists. Read some history.
Ms. Loesch:
Too little, too late. After years of apathy and self-interest, the experiment that was the United States ended, 234 years after its' inception. As an ultra-conservative, I watched year after election year as the US voters placed left-wing incompetents in the White House, stuffed Congress with socialists and criminals, and voted to line their own pockets at the expense of us who pay the taxes. Now, you want to roar about the state of this nation? You forget that almost half of the country wanted what Obama proposes. We are not, as right wing talk show hosts imply, a conservative nation – haven't been for decades. So, don't be surprised after the November elections when the Dems retain control of Congress, or when the Obama machine rolls over the will of the people again. There is a tipping point beyond which recovery is impossible. The voters passed that point last November.
hoyer carrying her purse lol. biatch. wonder if nancy gives him a reach around
They are drunk on their own power. They think they're invincible. This is not over folks because November is right around the corner and we HAVE TO make them pay for taking our liberties. We need healthcare fixed, not just writing into law more unfixable crap!! Time to remove them from power.
The list of voters is online on Fox.
This article sets the right tone for the next few years. They are no longer democrats, they are (and always have been) socialists. We can never refer to them as anything else. When idiots like Bill O'Rielly say we shouldn't say such things, we need to turn him off. When useful idiots like Geraldo spew socialist talking points, we need to turn away from Fox news. This is now a battle for our country. Common sense vs. socialism. It is that simple. In 2010 and 2012, EVERY socialist has to go. The Republicans contract with America just became very very simple. First, repeal the health care bill, second, repeal every other disastor Obama gets through in the next six months, and third, begin impeachment procedures against Obama for high treason. That's it, run on that and watch the house shift to a veto proof Republican majority. The Senate will be harder, but it is possible. Of course, in some districts, the reason people such as Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, and Nancy Pelosi get elected is they have constituents more stupid than they are, those districts will never flip – but enough can and will to take our country back.
We all have our marching orders – go to work!
OH HELL NO!
The American People are about to go Mideval…
You're stupid if you think they aren't.
The clock is ticking down to November when we exact our revenge.
The Dems are toast.
"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."
How DARE you bring that "outdated" old piece of paper written by "racist white slave owners" up!!!!
/sarc off
Somehow I can only find "Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness". I can't find any others?? Are they saying this is under Life??
You're right in so many ways Dana. People have a right to freedom, health care is a service and we always take care of our own.
This bill sets up a patronage system for democrats and makes us all slaves. It raises premiums, raises taxes, raises unemployment, pays for abortions, raises hassles from the IRS, unionizes health care, nationalizes health care, decreases quality health care, pays for illegal alien health care at the expense of our seniors which will now receive rationed health care and increase their death rates.
This bill is an abomination.
.
These Democrats are.
A Plague upon both the Democrats and Republicans!
No, I think it was supposed to be "homphones."
You know, that's those telephones with two receivers.
Dude I said the same thing to my mom this weekend-she asked me "why are you so angry?" I replied "because everyone else in my family is blind and stupid! You voted for these idiots and now what do your grandchildren have to look forward to but a lifetime of debt and taxes." Needless to say, family harmony is not at an all time high at the moment.
Thanks Dana.
For 200+ years we Americans have enjoyed and lost our freedom and liberty incrementally as many socialist agendas have been imposed upon us.
Like a thief in the night freedom and liberty has been taken from us and only a quiet mouse-like passive squeak has been emitted from the citizens through the years.
It is time to roar like a lion and take back what our founding fathers envisioned for us.
“Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon. Never out of sight. Never landing until the watcher turns his eyes away in resignation. His dreams mocked to death by time.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their eyes were watching God
That picture says it all. The inmates are on the loose!
The coin was tossed, the dems won the toss and have elected to receive.
GAME ON!!
Are you still trying to say this is a "socialist" bill? How do you reconcile that with the fact that the top 5 insurance companies spent $5 million in the first three months of this year lobbying FOR THE BILL? How is it "socialist" to have us buy insurance from private companies? Is your cognitive dissonance real or manufactured? Tell me one thing that is "socialist" about this bill.
I am in the same boat. But they need the shock treatment. They are deluded into thinking this is same ol same ol. They need to understand the "fundamental transformation" really has begun and it ain't good.
We are not going to repeal Healthcare – we are going to Repeal big government. Here is how:
1. Act local – Become a Republican delegate in your state. Find the tea party and conservative endorsed candidates. Outwork the lazy union thugs and welfare blood suckers. Video tape everything – when SEIU shows up – you tape & youtube
2. Our goal is 70 Senators – As we saw this summer and winter, the real power and authority in our government is in the Senate. If you have 70 Senators – YOU can DO anything. You own teh filibuster. You can stop or pass anything. If you have 70 senators you can IMPEACH EVERY Progressive judge – we get them on NOT following the Constitution under teh 10th Amendment. All local actions are taken to set the stage for 70 senators – Conservatives & libertarians make up 70% of our population – time to make the Senate look like that.
With 70 Sentors, No President or Judge can stand. We must make Jim DeMint Senators the key.
We start by dumping John McCain – PROGRESSIVE. We target the clown in SC.
Let's go to work….
Heath care is NOT a right! It is a product that one purchases. The government does not grant "rights" only God and/or the Universe provides rights. What the government gives, it can take away!
IT IS NOT A RIGHT! JUST AS A JOB IS NOT A RIGHT!
Indeed. It is time to vote out of office those who defied the will of the overwhelming number of Americans. That means voting out nearly all the Democrats in the House and Senate. The time for talk is over.
Here! Here!
I'm with you brother!!!!!
Ok, its a Corporatist bill. Does that make it better?
Just in case you don't know what Corporatist means, it is essentially socialism for the wealthy.
Here is a link to the expanded definition. What is American Corporatism?
Basically, yes. And as such, they can dictate how you live you life and for how long (not counting the abortion parts because that will start a whole 'nother argument).
You had beter hope that the nurse or Dr. that you expect to take care of you does not believe their expertise is a mandate to take care of you via instructions neatly printed on a 5 x 5 index card approved by the new Health Czar yet to be named.
Go ahead and stand by your lying liars in congress. You can laugh now, and we will laugh in November. This will probably be the last time in my life that the country will have to suffer through a Democrap majority, so enjoy it while you can.
The 70 Seat solution…..
I like it. It sounds like a mantra to me. With the way politicians lie, we will brobably need a few more just to cover the liars.
AB, I would suggest that you get a couple of 'proof' readers. I have noticed that many posts are rife with typos. Not that I mind that much but we don't need the libs taking exception to us for grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Please don't think it (literacy) is a problem unique to your site as I have read many msm (NYT,LAT,WAPO,,,) articles with really stupid mistakes. Is it a problem with editors, the journalists themselves or the result of sh!tty schools or the advent of language butchering text messaging.
Many are passionate about what they write and rush the job.
Regardless the reason, I for one would be happy to volunteer to apply my limited editing ability to the cause.
As AreaMan66 said, I don't mean to nitpick either but do want to see you continue to crank out the jams and not leave yourself open to stupid mistakes.
BTW: I feel your "Big" sites are a service to the country.
It seemed like Shep from FOX was ridiculing the protesters as "shouters". FOX does not have our backs. FOX cannot carry our water for us any longer. Things are spinning way past the point where some TV station can do our fighting for us. I hope enough people decide that their country and freedoms are worth fighting for. Join a resistance or form one. It will be a long struggle so prepare your family and friends for the retaliation that will be coming their way. Remember we don't "think correctly" and will be sought out and punished. You see it happining now. Don't ever think you will not be next.
Class action lawsuit…….
Correction: people have a right to obtain health care.
Welcome to the war, Dana. This fight was already in progress when I got involved in the 60's. I felt exactly the same way when Roe was handed down, when Saigon fell, and too many other times to recount. I for one am happy for some new blood and the extra help.
This isn't over. There is a lot fight left in this old Jarhead.
This bill is Corporatist (a.k.a. Socialism for the wealthy).
Here is the bullet points of Corporatism.
The fundamental essence of corporatism is not technocratic but moral: what does government have the responsibility to do? What do people have the right to demand be done for them? </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">The economic Left likes corporatism for three reasons: </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">It satisfies its lust for power. </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">It makes possible attempts to redistribute income. </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">It enables them to practice #2 while remaining personally affluent. </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">The economic Right likes corporatism for three different reasons: </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">It enables them to realize capitalist profits while unloading some of the costs and risks onto the state. </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">The ability to intertwine government and business enables them to shape government policy to their liking. </font>
<font dummy="3" face="Times New Roman">They believe the corporatist state can deliver social peace and minimize costly disruptions. </font>
Try a little rationality, starting with yourself. Everyone should be tired and disgusted with the 6th grade play ground argument that because someone else did something stupid, it justifies what happened yesterday. I don't care that you didn't like Bush. He's no longer president. The reality is that cost of insuance goes up, the deficet goes up, care will be rationed, doctors are going to quit, the IRS is going to grow, Federal government will grow and on and on. I will never understand how anyone is wlling to give control of their lives over to anyone else.
Iraq was not a direct attack against the American people, and had considerable support, unlike the health mess which is overwhelming hated. Iraq didn't take several HUNDRED BILLION in bribes to pass. 60% oppossed means that its a BIPARTISAN hatred as moderates and independents realize they have been had.
Not everyone was thrilled with many of the Patriot Act provisions. So why has Mr Hope and Change continued the policy?
I hope this was just a lost battle, and that we are ready to win the war. I don't think there is any choice but to fight back. To wade around in self-pity and regret is not an option. It's a shame we didn't do it before as a country, but it's not to late to wake up.
"If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."
RONALD REAGAN, speech in support of Barry Goldwater, October 27, 1964
JPA – Hmmmm, through all this discussion and slamming the insurance companies, they never took away their tax exempt status. They are forcing people to buy private health insurance. Wow – amazing, the insurance companies lobbied for that!
Correction – not tax exempt -ANTI TRUST exempt status.
Great article, Dana………..short, to the point, every word counted. That photo IS scary……….and what a bunch of vermin, dressed up as real people!!! It's hard to phathom that these types of morons are actually running our country……..although they're running it into bankruptcy and tyranny!!! I've got ZERO respect for ANY of them……..and I've got even LESS respect than that for Boy Barry, who has set a new LOW as far as being a President!!!! Who would have thought that Jimmah Carter could look marginally acceptable???
Other people who deserve NO respect……..the MSM, all of the 'victims' and 'leeches' who think that the government 'owes' them something, and the millions of people who willingly voted for FUBO and the rest of these cockroaches, without finding out what they really stand for!!!
FUBO!!!!!
You conservatives are pathetic you have been defeated by our infinite monkey theorem!
The only thing sadder than a conservative that is hoping for change is a democrat hoping for a conservative that is compassionate!
HA HA HA
We have to begin locally and spread out form there. That's how the COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND CHIEF did it.
If you vote for encumbents (REP. & DEM.) you get what you pay for, more of the same.
New blood in D.C. not blood in the streets of D.C. or we become them!
I am in terror of these progressives.
Great article by the way!
Thanks Dana. IT'S F***ING ON!!!!!!!!
We have a runaway government – it needs to be stopped. They don't care what the people think cause they think they know better.
You said it right Ms. Dana. We're not up against Democrats but against Radical Progressives or worst that find comfort and wisdom in the ideologies of Mao, Marx,Stalin and our homegrown Ayers and Alinsky. Only the Willfully Ignorant or Naive Simpletons can not or will not see it. Let's put a face on it and call it for what it is and Hang Tough and Crush It. Like America of not that long ago did to The Nazi's and Imperial Japan. It Can, It Will And Must Be Done. God Bless America and the Men and Women Who Have Who Are and Will Keep Her Free.
Well said, I'm right there with you. My sentiments couldn't be better articulated than your reply: "Get Out"
It's getting harder and harder to respect friends and family members who are doing nothing(can hardly stand the sight of them). Having brought 3 children into this word it is my responsibility to do what ever I can to protect our Republic and the future for my children. I get it, and so do my two sons who have both chosen Military careers . For those that don't get it …..please stay out of our way. Thanks Dana for sharing this Responsibility.
Shep is a tool, he is a die hard leftist, they need to tar and feather him and send him on his way over to the cartoon network where he blongs.
And my point is, Lefties hated the war. It still happened. The country still exists. Healthcare will be the same. The sky will not fall, and honestly, if the plan doesn't work, stop acting like no one will ever be able to try to fix it. Fear is the carrot and the stick on your side of the ledger. I refuse to allow it to rule my decisions.
I will never understand how both libs and cons seem to only see constitutional threats from the other side, but all their tinkering is just fine.
Name calling? But then that's all you have isn't it? You can't back up ANY of your beliefs, because they are false. Say bye, bye to another post.
[...] spending discipline (what’s that?) disappear as the “savings” are spent on the doctor fix and whatever other program floats into the empty skulls [...]
There are a whole lot of fixes that need to be done in health care but none of it was done in this bill. If anything this bill cemented the problems into place.
Although I tend to agree with you TRG, the pain that we all know is coming has not hit yet. You see it and most of us here on BG see it, but the masses are too busy watching TV, working, and keeping their heads in the sand to see it.
When our country comes to an economic halt, and people begin to act out violently as they did in history when they simply had nothing to loose, we are going to see the power get back to where it once was – with the great people of this country. It will take ultra-conservatism folks like yourself to get us back on track once the actual derailment happens. Even George Washington had a lot of trouble getting troops to fight the French out of Ohio until a critical pain threshold was hit.
We have one more chance at saving the country, but things do look grim with this lot in power.
[...] spending discipline (what’s that?) disappear as the ”savings” are spent on the doctor fix and whatever other program floats into the empty skulls [...]
Well unfortunately there is not a great source of convincing impartial polling on this issue. It is shown to be opposed in a majority by some polls and backed by a majority in others. Furthermore, while many people oppose "obamacare" at the same time when asked about specific items in the bill they seem to back them once "unbranded" from Obama.
Oh Iraq took at least as much bribery to get through. Pork deals, political pressure, the "unpatriotic" argument, the millions in campaign money that the military-industrial sector pumped in… I agree it's the least crazy middle-ground folk who are probably feeling the most torn here. Again it's the lunatic fringes making the biggest impact.
Oh and the continuance of the patriot act is the one thing Dems are playing possum on. Frankly it's a disgrace that he has not been called out more on some of these issues from the campaign, but I'm a realist, and now that healthcare is at least pushed over the line maybe he can turn his attention to some of these REAL threats to our constitutional health.
Soon!
It's critical to define contemporary democrats for what they are- criminal socialists bordering on neo-communists apparatchiks. These people use democratic terminology as a Trojan horse to gain access to the city but they are nothing less than enemies of constitutional government. Too many Americans are however semi-literate, can't do the math and are generally more concerned with furthering their base appetites and entertaining themselves than staving off their own laziness and developing co-dependence on the state. The fiscal bills are coming due however and the largess of our lenders won't tolerate this appetite for escapism. The handwriting is on the wall and it may read: A country given to sophistry and hedonism reaps the whirlwind of defeat and destruction. America may be in it's death throes.
I'm speechless, look at the picture on this article. Would you ever, ever see the Republicans
behave in this way after passing legislation, ever? No, no, HELL NO ! To my eye, this pic-
ture is worth much, much more than a thousand words. The Evil Witch of the West, & her 'men-
ions' (msp for effect). Where is her Slaughter Compatriot, well it is certainly obvious why Hillary
left the Senate. She could not maintain political viability while taking short shrift from Piglosi.
Hoyer carrying her purse, reckon his testicles are locked inside? Hope her damn feet are hurt-
ing from those 'matching' heels'. I bet her wardrobe is tax deductible, up to a limit?
Bin Laden has nothing on the fear this Health Care bill brings. The federal progressives are the real enemy to our country.
The emperors have no clothes .
Our system is set up so that the rights we have, as Americans, are GOD given natural rights. The founders knew that only GOD given rights are inviable, whereas, rights bestowed by POLITICIANS are false and can be taken away at their whim.
Also that if they DIDN'T support it, their business would be soon deemed ILLEGAL.
Let's think: "Pay some now and make some profit for a few years before we go out of business?"
OR
"Don't support this and GO TO JAIL NOW?"
Hmmmmm…what would you do?
It has nothing to do with Democrats! It has to do with the Progressive invasion in the Democrat party.
WE are the leadership, not some talking head pundits or power drunk politicians. Government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE and for the PEOPLE! Hear that sound……..It's the sound of patriots heading into battle. You want us to bring it? You got it!
No leadership? Okay, I guess that makes sense to you since your MSM was calling the Tea Party rallies an organized right-wing astroturf event. Yes, it makes sense in your nonsensical world to constantly be contradicting yourselves on everything.
I'm sure you're proud of the Mobster-In-Chief corrupting his way to the destruction of this country. There's your leadership. All on him. The slime starts at the top, and oozes all the way down.
As a historian, I can assure that they are socialist. They even are starting to admit it. Here are a few excerpts taken directly from the web page of the Democratic Socialists of America. (Italicized emphasis provided)
"The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
"At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives. We call this vision democratic socialism – a vision of a more free, democratic and humane society.
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships."
So see smarty. The Democrats are, and have been since the end of Grover Cleaveland's (the last great Democratic President) administration. But since you claim to know your history, you knew that already I guess.
It's critical to define contemporary democrats for what they are- criminal socialists bordering on neo-communists apparatchiks. These people use democratic terminology as a Trojan horse to gain access to the city but they are nothing less than enemies of constitutional government. Too many Americans are however semi-literate, can't do the math and are generally more concerned with furthering their base appetites and entertaining themselves than staving off their own laziness and developing co-dependence on the state. The fiscal bills are coming due however and the largess of our lenders won't tolerate this appetite for escapism. The handwriting is on the wall and it may read: A country given to sophistry and hedonism reaps millennia old lessons of defeat and destruction. America may be in it's death throes.
Better brush up on my Mandarin!
We will be lucky if we even get Chinese Medicine at this point.
I'm contacting my state Attorney General and telling him to join Florida, South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alabama in filing a lawsuit opposing Obamacare, you should do the same with your state Attorney General if they have not done so already.
Lets keep the pressure on, we may as well.
Yeah, to hold up the old hag.
Dana Loesch equates giving healthcare to 32 million Americans to the 9/11 murder of 3,000 Americans? Is there really any point in reading further? What does it say about the corruption of both her soul and her intellect that she felt the same when she stared at the rubble of the twin towers as she did when she lost a political fight with fellow Americans? I'll pray for you Dana. Hate has rotted your heart. You've lost your humanity and any tenuous grip you may ever have had on American values.
Give me one example of a person who died from not having health insurance. Just one.
It was no coincidence that I watched 300 last night. Like King Leonidas, I will never bow down before Xerxes. Unlike Thermopylae, though, I don't consider this (yet) an unwinnable war. They will try. Automatic voter registration and amnesty will be the method they attempt to outflank the American people, but we are ready. We must simply hold firm.
"…fling their own feces…"
"…pass a bill like this."
You repeated yourself there…..
I am floored at the level of AROGANCE these libs/progressives/dems have against the AMERICAN people that voted them in….I did not vote for any of them and I have to foot the bill becuase of there BIG GOVERNEMENT IDEALS… I guess thats what america gets when they elect a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER for the President…. I am sick to my stomach and honestly have to say I WILL NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE and November.. the dems will be walking the PLANK!!!! Yeah for COURAGE…. yeah WHATEVER……
It's more like arrogance. Ironically, one of the countless things they claimed Bush of being.
Living in East Asia I can tell you that not all Chinese medicine is hocus pocus. Some of it actually does work. I tried it for a condition that was very persistent bothered me while I was in the US went to several doctors to try different treatments, and when I came here I tried a Chinese medicine treatment that was proscribed by a doctor (one that went to a medical school in America) and it worked. However I would not advocate it if you get cancer or something like that.
Back to the zoo, son. Make sure you wear a diaper.
I'll come back later today for more of your pablum.
Brat Stupid just committed suicide. This COMMUNIST PIG lied through his teeth to every american who doesnt want Dr Kevorkian “healthcare”. Stupid, After you lose this November, youd better hope the SEIU has a job for you. Too bad they cant employ all the soon-to-be -out -of -work commierats, since there wont be enough wealth to keep them in existence. Brat Stupid is just as responsible as Obamamao. Stupid deserves a trip to the gulag.
They are that and worse, they are piles of excrement and YOU wallow in it and you are just plain stupid,,,,, stupid troll.
Thankfully I have only 1 of 3 who voted and still support dear leader. I no longer talk with him about politics otherwise he would be disowned. He will see what he has done and I will have little sympathy for him.
Thumbs up!! I have cut loose several liberal friends because of this. I'm not playing "nice" any longer. The time for "nice" is long gone.
Elections have consequences. In 2006, we put Nasty Piglosi, Harry Greed, Barney the Fag, Charlie the RangHo, John Conyers, Steny the Whore Hoyer etc in power. In 2008, we put the communist scum Barak Obama in power, in spite of numerous signs of what he really was. Nows time to look to the future, which begins by destroying the COMMUNIST party by ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. One little example-Brat Stupid got fed TAX MONEY for 3 airports in Michigan. Another BRIBE. Storykeeper, you are correct. A jihad might be necessary. They dont want to listen to the taxpayer, just steal as much of your money as possible. I have no intention to cooperate.
Government controlled and rationed health care (which is inevitable) will result in more than 3,000 deaths.
The only difference is it will happen in private and will easily be hidden from the public.
Thousands will suffer and die as the government has more control over health care, it happens today in every country with socialized health care.
But don't forget – those of us who DID speak out were called: Racist, Bigots, Homophobes and much worse.
I "hope" all those that got suckered with this crowd like the "change" they are going to get. Because that's all they will have left in their bank accounts.
That's what I want to see from all these Obamam cheerleaders in a year or two from now. Will they stand up and take responsibility for a bankrupting deficit , huge unemployment and the droves of doctors who will retire.
I agree with NVA Patriot, I believe America can still do anything it puts its mind and energies into. Our previous generations have accomplished much tougher tasks. Founding this Country, Beating England for Independance, WW1, and WW2. Its our time right now, it is time to measure up and make history to save the Republic. This was a GREAT article by Dana L. and should inspire anyone who is down in the dumps. Lets not throw our hands up, lets get to work with even more enthusiasm–the next generations are depending on it.
Thanks Dana!
