you are right, David, the Russians freely admitted they were Communist. They
were honest.

You're comparing the current administration with the Russian Revolution!?!?
Clearly Obama's right about one thing, education is sorely lacking in this
country.

We don't know what is going to happen tomorrow, and we will have to deal
with it when tomorrow comes. However, history has a nasty habit of
repeating itself, in case you didn't notice. The Russian revolution was
going to be such a wonderful thing. After it was over, we know what
happened. I don't want to live under someone else's thumb like that. The
same types of forces are at work right now, and if you aren't vigilant,
somebody is going to take away your freedom and force you to do as they
demand. Hmm. Maybe forcing ALL OF US to get health insurance is just a
start. If I don't want it, I should have the choice not to purchase it.
The whole thing is unconstitutional, as in the United States Constitution.
You don't care about that? I'm not even talking about the huge costs that
are involved here. It is madness. In case you didn't notice, Medicare,
Medicade, Social Securi ty, etc. are all going bye bye. The promises can't
be kept. There is no "lock box" on these things, and they've been raided.
The national debt is so overwhelmingly big, nobody is ever going to pay it
back, ever. It will be a means to make sure they can tax the &hit out of
everybody for the rest of eternity. You don't care about that? Dean has
made good points here. You can't make something as substantial as health
care free, or people will cheat and take advantage. Oh yeah, I forgot.
It's already happening.
Once you get the government involved, cheating and graft become the
standard. Just consider how pianos are treated in schools and churches, and
other institutions. Nobody cares for them because they're owned by
"somebody else". WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. But we don't see
things that way. If we cheat the government, we cheat ours elves in the
end.
It is time to open our eyes and see what is happening around us. We
can't ignore what Washinton does anymore. What they do affects us all.
Wishfully thinking that the government is going to take care of us cradle to
grave is a huge mistake. Once this new health care system is implemented,
the costs are going to skyrocket, as have every other socialized medical
system in the world. It won't drive down costs, they will increase. If you
can't see this, what can I say? This country was founded and fought for
independence because they wanted to chart their own destiny and not be
beholden to any other country. They knew what they were fighting for. We
have forgotten it. They didn't want big government, and made a constitution
to limit the federal government's power. Now we have a bunch of idiots who
don't care at all for the constitution, and sadly there's no teeth in the
law anywhere to make them adhere to it. So, big government is here. Put
your head in the sand if you want to, but once it's too late to do anything
about it, it's too late. Welcome to the New World, Comrades!
Respectfully,
