As more and more details of Obamacare come to light, the US Government's---via the Obama Administration---dangerous, socialist takeover of our economy and culture becomes even more frightening.  Those of us over 65 are in especial danger, for the elderly are going to find reduced care---simply because it's too expensive.  And don't try to pay for anything by yourself.  That simple freedom is curtailed.

Yes folks, '1984' is on the horizon.  'Logan's Run' is on the horizon.  Is 'Soylent Green' also on the horizon?

Father John of Fox News: 
“But let's be clear: there is no such thing as a fundamental human right to socialized medicine.”

Ryan J Donmoyer and Kristin Jensen Bloomberg:
“The 1,018-page House Democratic plan builds on a June 19 draft and for the first time includes details on how to pay for the measure. In addition to the levy on millionaire households, the House would place surtaxes of 1.5 percent on couples with incomes of $500,000 to $1 million and 1 percent on those with incomes of more than $350,000.

“The surtax on wealthier Americans would be imposed based on adjusted gross income, meaning it would also apply to capital gains and dividends, which are currently taxed at a 15 percent rate. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel said lawmakers targeted high earners because it “causes the least amount of pain on the least amount of people.”

Thomas Donohue of the US Chamber of Commerce:
“The intention of this plan is to tax high-income households, but the real victims would be America's small business owners…Since when does our great free-market country punish success?”

Dr Orrin Devinsky of ABC “…asked the President pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get…The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if 'it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.'..”

David A Patten of Newsmax
“On Friday [7/17/09], Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation's estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama…

“The Democratic plan will embrace Obama's vision of bringing free government medical care to more than 45 million uninsured people in America--–a significant portion [about 12 million] of whom are illegal aliens. [Others being about 22 million young and not wanting insurance; about 8 million temporarily between jobs; and about 3 million poorer people not taking the health care that already exists in current programs.]

“Democrats had insisted throughout the health-care reform debate that illegals would be ineligible for the so-called public option plan that is to be subsidized by taxpayers.

Senator Max Baucus D-Montana, Chairman Senate Finance Committee:
"We're not going to cover undocumented aliens, undocumented workers," 'the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, told reporters in May.'
"That's too politically explosive."

“A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that an overwhelming 80 percent of Americans oppose covering illegals in any public health care bill.” 

“Anti-immigration [this should be anti-illegal immigration] activists say the availability of low-cost benefits, including health insurance and in-state tuition, will only lure more immigrants to come to the United States.”
 
D Morris Political Analyst [Townhall has something against Morris's first name]:
“…warns that giving illegal free health care will lead to a flood of new illegals who can take advantage of such a benefit not offered in their home countries…”

TNM:
Is any of this a surprise to sane Americans?  Warnings about these socialist plans to be found in an Obama administration were given constantly during the Presidential campaign.  Yet, the amateur Obama was elected.  How?  Some Democrats always vote for the Democrat no matter who he is or what he might do.  Others believed the palpable nonsense of Hope and Change his Teleprompters spouted.  [Well, they got it alright.]  Others didn't like McCain.  And sadly, others voted for him simply because he was black.  Yes, they are racists.  It's a fact and should be considered.  So, now we all suffer from a self-bloated and grossly interventionist government. 

This tragedy can be traced to the interventionistic Democrats in Congress, especially from 2006 to the present.  Notably among the disaster-meisters are Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Murtha, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid---and that's just the tip of the iceberg. 

Are we headed for a revolution?  Possibly.  Who knows? 

We have to keep fighting the current Congress and President.  In 2010 we should remove all 435 House members and a third of the Senate.  In 2012, we should put a Conservative in the White House to start cleaning up the mess and replace another third of the Senate.  By 2014, we can vote out the remainder of the Senate and hopefully be on our way to some semblance of order.

Townhall email:
“A National Abortion Bill?

That is what the legislation should be called, because the bill pending in Congress includes the unlimited right of a woman to end the life of her baby, with the government footing the bill. And groups like Planned Parenthood will be the beneficiaries of your tax dollars.”

Fred Thompson radio show:

"ON PAGE 425 OF OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE BILL [sic], the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. Yes...They are going to push SUICIDE to cut medicare spending!"

TNM
So this is change?  Government funded abortions?  Suicide counseling for the elderly?  Unconscionable taxes?  We'd have done better voting for none of the above.

Our Muslim trained and named President who sat for twenty years listening to the fiery radical pastor Wright condemn America [Obama apologized for America in foreign countries] and had ties to communist, socialist, and radical people and groups [Bill Ayres, Acorn et al] is now showing America his true stripes.  You unthinking Liberals out there voted this guy in.  I hope you're proud for what you've given all of us with your knee-jerk reactions.

Our economy is in the abyss for many reasons, not the least being [the predominantly Democrat] overspending for the past 50 years.  Of course a major reason is the Democrats' [notably Rep Barney Frank and Sen Chris Dodd] forcing the banks and financial institutions to create dangerous loans.  But who will recognize the truth when they can fall back to the easy blaming of George Bush and his 8 years as President?  He made some mistakes, for sure.  But I think he could do a much better job than recent Democrat candidates for his office, including St Barack Hussein O. 

And the history of our economy and free market system would give obvious solutions to our current problems.  Does President Obama and his administration not know history?  It seems so.  They are repeating all the bad decisions from the past, and they expect new results.  The are creating socialist positions that have been proven not to work.  Alfred Einstein once defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”  That's the exact problem with the Democrats.  They never learn.  Or remember Winston Churchill: "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

I wrote this several months ago.  Sadly, it's still true in fact.  The President's administration is leading us down the road to oblivion.

Just to update you on what's been happening:

- President Obama [PO] wants to oversee World financial firms.
- PO appoints 'czars' [a gross term] answerable only to him and not Congress.
- US deficit is growing by the $trillions.
- US spending is at multiples of revenue.
- US Government owns most of the Auto Industry.
- US Government owns much of the Banking Business, refusing to let some pay back their loans.
- US Government wants to run Health Care.
- Health Care will cost more for less coverage.
- $$trillions of new taxes here or on the way.
- PO and Democrat Congress show intent on Islamizing the US.
- PO is actively apologizing for all US actions and beliefs.
- PO is weakening the US military in words and action.
- PO wants to close GITMO and release terrorists in US.
- PO wants to give GITMO terrorists US civil rights
- PO is doing nothing to stop illegal immigration except trying to thwart those who are trying to enforce the immigration laws---oh, he is bemoaning it.
***
There are increased efforts to gain access to PO's birth records.  PO has issued an executive order [day after taking the oath] to prevent any release of records pertaining to PO that he doesn't approve.  And his school and other records are being secured by the institutions involved.  But think about it.  If he was born in Kenya, a claim that seems increasingly likely to be proven, then he isn't a citizen!  And that makes him an illegal alien!  And that is evident with his policy over border security.  Imagine that, an illegal alien as President.  Thank you Democrats.

President Barack Obama, whose gay and lesbian supporters have grown frustrated with his slow movement on their priorities, is extending benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, a White House official said recently.

More security?  Hire law breakers.

Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, back in October, the following people are on the Atlanta Police Force:  Keovongsa Siharath [charged with punching his stepfather]; Jeffrey Churchill charged with assault in a a mall parking lot];  Calvin Thomas arrested on a concealed weapons charge.]  All three are now officers with the Atlanta Police Department.

"More than one-third of recent Atlanta Police Academy graduates have been arrested or cited for a crime, according to a review of their job applications. The arrests ranged from minor offenses such as shoplifting to violent charges including assault. More than one-third of the officers had been rejected by other law enforcement agencies, and more than half of the recruits admitted using marijuana." 

And we've wondered aloud how this Democratic VP's private meetings with unnamed people on unnamed subjects differs from the private meetings with unnamed people that his evil predecessor had that got so many Democratic senators and representatives worried about nefarious secrets."

Wonder what Joe Biden's up to?  Per Andrew Malcolm:

"...We've especially noted Biden's innumerable  "private meetings" that are closed to the press because, well, they're private..."

"...And we've wondered aloud how this Democratic VP's private meetings with unnamed people on unnamed subjects differs from the private meetings with unnamed people that his evil predecessor had that got so many Democratic senators and representatives worried about nefarious secrets."

'Do as we say, and not what we do' is---as usual---the Democrat mantra.  How many times do the electors have to be reminded of such things before the dangerous Congress and President are removed from office at the polls?  The sad thing is, I'd be more comfortable with 'Pistol' Joe as President than the messiah.  And in 2010, maybe we can get rid of them all.  435 new representatives is my cherished dream.  That way we won't have to worry about Nancy or Harry succeeding Joe.
