Obama's Last Stand

Welcome back readers, this is my first blog post in over a month, so I will try to make it a good one. As the nation watches this health care debate unfold, the anger and outright disgust only deepens with every press conference, speech, summit or underhanded tactic by the left. Virtually every poll shows that the large majority of Americans oppose this takeover of our health care system. We have almost 10% unemployment and clearly jobs are the nation’s main concern. So you may ask why Obama Pelosi and Reid continue to push this disaster of a bill on our nation.
In this post, I will give you the top five reasons why the Libs are so determined to ram this down the throats of the American people at all cost.

1. They Know Better: First, you have to look at it from the Liberal point of view. The Liberals consider themselves to be an elite group, that does not have to answer to anyone or even abide by the same standards they hold everyone else to. In their mind, they know how to better lead your life than you do. This includes how to spend your money and what type of health care you receive. Let's not forget the mandate in this bill forcing you to buy health coverage or face jail time, yes that's right jail time. I guess to hell with the constitution right, They know better remember?

2. Follow The Money: The Libs love to point fingers at Conservatives and the Republican Party for playing to special interests. Let's be honest, this is the worst case of the pot calling the kettle black in history. Just to get this far in the process, Obama had to bribe members of his own party just to get their vote. But wait, it gets worse! Obama excluded Unions from paying certain health care taxes that everyone else in America would be required to pay. I don’t think it's a coincidence that they were the same unions that supported him when he ran for President. Of course he has to take care of those that gave him all that campaign money right? Speaking of money, let's look at some statements made by Obama, he said that he would not sign a bill that would add to the deficit. He also said taxing the rich would pay for his plan. WRONG and WRONG. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) under the proposed plan, we would have to pay 14 years worth of taxes to pay for 10 years of Government run health care. That basically means that the program is bankrupt before it even exists. Something is wrong here.


3. They Hate Capitalism: As we all know, one of the staples of a Communist / Socialist way of thinking is, that Government should control everything and there should be no such thing as a free market or Capitalism. The free market system has made America the richest nation in the world, this has long been a thorn in the side of Socialist thinkers. They have been plotting ways to destroy the way America does business for years. Now that they have one of their own in The White House, they actually have an opportunity to deal a blow to Capitalism. The health care industry represents 1/6 of our nation’s economy; taking over such a large section of our economy would be one step closer to a victory in their eyes. The ironic thing is, these Socialist like to use China as the example of a prosperous Socialist nation. There is just one problem with that. China is the biggest holder of American debt. This means, that China is only prosperous because they have decided to "Capitalize" on the opportunity to invest in America. China is making Billions each year in interest paid on our debt. It sounds to me like Capitalism is working out pretty well for the Socialist Chinese.

4. What's There To Lose?: It was less than 4 short years ago that a jubilant Nancy Pelosi stood in front of the Nation and said "The Democrats Are Back" symbolizing the first time in 12 years the Democratic party held the majority. It was less than 2 year ago that the Dems gained a super majority and The White House. Despite all of that, they still can’t get this bill through. Now here we are in 2010 and the American people are ready to march on Washington and remove Pelosi from office. Obama and the Democrats have made Americans so angry with their clear disregard for public will, that regardless of the outcome of this health care bill there will be an election massacre in November. I predict they will lose majority in both the house and the Senate. So why not go for broke? They are going to lose big time anyway, and they would have at least accomplished there goal of socialized medicine in America. They would be martyrs for the Socialist cause, what an honor.

5. It's All Obama Has: With his support at an all time low and falling, Obama has to face the reality that the American people have rejected him and his far left policies. In 14 months he has tripled the National debt, weakened our Nation's security, lost 4 Million jobs, lost the trust of the voters and practically destroyed his own party. That's the short list. Obama knows that in November when the Dems lose power he will have no possibility of passing any portion of his far left agenda. I believe if they pass this bill, we will see an uprising not seen in this country since the Revolutionary war. If Obama doesn't act now, it's over. He will be a lame duck President for his last 2 years in office. He will be a 1 term Presidential failure. Obama's ego can't let that happen.

So Obama goes out and tells lies to the American people such as, "federal funds will not pay for abortions". I know this administration doesn't like reading bills before we pass them but, maybe he should read this one. Because it's clearly in the bill that abortion is a part of the federal plan. Not to mention that during a speech to Planned Parenthood in 2007, Candidate Obama said "We will set up a public plan that includes reproductive services" Again, Obama shows his true agenda despite what he tells America. I could go on for hours with examples of one Obama lie after another. Don't get me wrong, I want people to have access to quality affordable health care but, a Government run program is not the answer. Here is the bottom line. If they pass this bill, our country forever be changed for the worse. It's these kind of entitlement programs that not only run the risk of bankrupting our nation but, continue to erode the self reliant go getter attitude that makes our country great. I encourage all of my fellow Americans to stand firm on this issue. Keep fighting, keep spreading the word and exercise your right to free speech. America is the last stronghold for freedom in this world and must be preserved. So as Obama takes his last stand for Socialism, we must stand against him in the name freedom.
