Health Care and a Big “Fishy” Brother Obama
If you disagree with the new Health Care bill, best be quiet about it, Obama is listening.
And citizens of the Obama state are paying attention.
But As For Me News shares this photo:
B.O.'s First Amendment
A conservative family friend has decided to turn himself in to Obama:
Just to save my neighbors the trouble, I am reporting on myself.
I am as opposed as it is possible to be to the Health Care (or is it Health Insurance, or something even newer today) “reform” now being swept at breakneck speed through the Congress, as though this was some new national crisis. I have communicated my feelings to both of my Senators and my Representative. It is too expensive, too intrusive of my freedom of healthcare choice, and too ill-considered. And just so everyone knows: I do not need anyone to tell me how to think; not the Congress, not the White House, not the DNC, not Rush Limbaugh, and certainly not the RNC. You got a gluttonous emergency stimulus bill of nearly a trillion dollars that has yet to “stimulate” much of anything. You got a budget of Brobdingnagian proportions that expands government control over my life in ways I have yet to imagine. You got a huge automatic income and estate tax increase coming in 2011 that, by the way, affects many people whose income is under $250,000 a year, so don’t come running to me breathlessly claiming that the middle class won’t have to pay higher taxes under Obama. You got control of a large portion of the financial markets, executive pay, and you even got to own your own automobile company. You have had things pretty much your own way for the last seven months, with an historically unprecedented deficit (Obama-owned, not Bush-owned) to prove it. But this time you’ve gone to the well one too many times. Government spending and deficits are out of control and no one at the White House seems to know, to know how much, to care, or to understand. We simply cannot afford a healthcare system that, by any fair reading, or by any fair analysis of its eventual outcomes, will improve practically no one’s healthcare, will cost far more than the current healthcare system, will grow in cost far faster than any rational plan to fund it, and will fail to insure most of those few people who currently are without insurance. And most of those criticisms are from your own party and from those bureaucrats your own party appointed to analyze such things!
But that’s not the worst of it.
When my government sets up a system to monitor honest disagreement and rational discussion and calls both of those “spreading misinformation,” something is radically wrong at the top. Worse yet, when my government sets up an apparatus to collect information on dissenters and asks decent citizens to rat out their neighbors to a website (flag@whitehouse.gov) for saying disagreeable things about the President’s healthcare plan, then we are cruising perilously close to despotism. That is simply unacceptable! There is no conceivable justification for totalitarianism! Nancy Pelosi, in a moment of rhetorical hyperbole and freakish imagination, spoke today of healthcare opponents carrying swastikas. Far more insidious is the President and his martinets acting much as those who DID carry swastikas 70 years ago in Germany. Despots often defend their otherwise indefensible agendas by savaging and belittling their opponents. Adolph Hitler hastened the consolidation of his power by creating the apparatus to pit neighbor against neighbor to stifle “dissent.” God save us if that is what you are about.

At least you’ll be in good company.
Who is asking anyone to be quiet? I have not once heard the Obama Administration discourage people from opposing or supporting this debate. Truth is, conservative talk radio has put it into a lot of people’s head that the Obama Administration wants to silence someone. To me, it seems like the people shouting people down are the ones that do not want anyone saying anything. I challenge anyone on this blog on in that picture with tape over their mouths to quote Obama discouraging people to discuss the issue. It amazes me how people create situations and repeat it amongst themselves so often that they convince themselves that what they are saying is the truth. A lot of this behavior is learned from guys like Rush who spend all day everyday making up things about other people, but can not handle when people tell the truth about him.
OK, let’s think about this for more than 2 minutes. The SEIU (union)–you know the one who attacked the town hall crowd?– alone contributed tens of millions to Obama’s campaign. Obama used to work for ACORN from where the townhall union initiative started and Obama has close ties to ACORN. Obama’s stimulus package filtered $4 BILLION dollars to ACORN. ACORN is being investigated in 15 states for voter fraud supporting the Democratic-Obama ticket.
In addition, Obama’s Census Czar Robert Morse would not commit to avoid using ACORN in the Census collection information. So we have close ties between ACORN and Obama–and ACORN is tied to high levels of voter fraud AND the Census–all which will SILENCE the conservative voice and vote. He’s using informants (study WW2 Nazis and the jews) collecting names and addresses of dissenters beginning a despot-like database of information about them. There is right now an investigation starting to look into ties between the White House and the union thugs who seek to silence Obama’s opposition.
And you think no one has asked anyone to be silent??? What, are you living in Disneyland? Do we have to wait for the state-run media to report that Obama and his Chicago-style thugs have “asked us publicly” to be quiet? Well, naive writer, that has already happened–we have been told to shut-up or ELSE.
Wake Up
No, I have not seen anyone asked to be quiet. What has been asked is that people allow civil discussion so that something CAN be discussed. The groups you conveniently ignored have sent out the mandates to disrupt, not to debate, to challenge, etc. Their goal is not to have a discussion, but to shut all discussion down. So, regurgitating “Rush’s” talking points really does not jive with reality. Obama and his supporters should defend him. If there are people that want to disrupt townhalls, there should be people that should be allowed to disrupt the disruptors.
Unlike you, I understand their frustration. When liberals were screaming about the Iraq war, it was considered “political discourse” and tolerated. I’m sure you won’t agree, but it was an honorable war that gave the world an island of democracy in the middle east and kept terrorists out of our country. What people this time are fighting for is the destruction of an entire system for about 12 million uninsured people (no, not 47 million only 12 million–do your own research to find the truth in that number). Not one other avenue was explored and several were offered–ones that would not destroy the present system but create a solution for those uninsured who WANT to be insured–not everyone wants insurance (something else your lack of research did not tell you). Just like this pork-filled bloated stimulus passage, the Dems have tried to force this down our throats at record speed without even reading the bill (no, even Obama has never read it). This bill is not about insurance OR health care, goldenae, it is about controlling the economy and garnering votes for a second term. EVERYONE will suffer if this passes those who had health care and those who did not–you will too–but you won’t understand that until it is too late.
It’s a scary scary time in America.
Chicago…At the end of “…Health Care & Big Fishy Obama”, there was a line ‘to pit neighbor against neighbor to stifle “dissent.”’. I totally relate to that, especially after today riding the train home and listening to a man & woman talk about how ‘we are soo close to finally having, this, gee I hope it goes thru’. I felt like they weren’t even fellow Americans b/c this crap is so obviously socialistic and unconstitutional. I kept my mouth shut, cuz I know if said a single word, I’d start to get passionate & heated about the topic, but right as I got up to leave, I laid a copy of some economic commentary that is right in line w/ our thinking, that I’d finished reading, and said ‘here’s some reading you might like’. They were stunned into silence and I just walked away.
Here’s a link to the piece, I love this guy, you should read his archives. He knows what’s up.

I will read it SPD. I identify so much with your sentiments and feelings when you were on the train. I stop short of making more than a cursory comment or two because of my own passion (that’s why I write this blog, to get it out:) Very cool that you gave them something to read; that’s actually a great tactic. Thanks for the link. I look forward to reading more of your blog.
