We are not SUBJECTS (and other
observations about Obamacare)
Townhall – Laura Hollis– 11/20/2013
The unveiling of the
dictatorial debacle that is Obamacare absolutely flabbergasts me. It is
stunning on so many levels, but the most shocking aspect of it for me is
watching millions of free Americans stand idly by while this man, his minions
in Congress and his cheerleaders in the press systematically dismantle our
Constitution, steal our money, and crush our freedoms.
The President, Nancy Pelosi
and Harry Reid (with no small help from Justice John Roberts) take away our
health care, and we allow it. They take away our insurance, and we allow it.
They take away our doctors, and we allow it. They charge us thousands of
dollars more a year, and we allow it. They make legal products illegal, and we
allow it. They cripple our businesses, and we allow it.
They announce by fiat that
we must ignore our most deeply held beliefs – and we allow it.
Where is your spine, America? Perhaps you need reminding of a few important
facts.
1. The President is not a
king
Barack Obama does not behave like a President, an elected official, someone who realizes that he works for us. He behaves like a king, a dictator – someone who believes that his own pronouncements have the force of law, and who thinks he can dispense with the law’s enforcement when he deigns to do so. And those of us who object? How dare we? Racists!
2. It isn’t just a failed
software program; it is a failed philosophy
People are marveling that
Healthcare.gov was such a spectacular failure. I’ve explained some of the
reasons for that here.
But it is really a philosophy failure.
Obama . . . is a central planner. And this – all of it:
the disastrous computer program, the hundreds of millions of dollars wasted,
the lies, the manipulation of public opinion, the theft of the public’s money
and property, and freedom (read insurance, and premiums, and doctors) -- IS
what central planning looks like.
. . . imperial impulses: “we know what is good for
‘the people.’ And they are always
wrong.
There is a reason that the
only times communism has really been tried have been after wars, revolutions,
or coups d’état. You have to have complete chaos for people to be willing to
accept the garbage that centralized planning produces.
The Founding Fathers
absolutely understood this. That is why the Constitution was set up to limit
government power.
3. Obama is deceitful
The President lied about his
healthcare plan. Have any of you been paying attention over the past few years?
Obama has made no secret of his motivations or his methods. The philosophies
which inspire him espouse deceit and other vicious tactics. (Don’t take my word
for it: read Saul Alinsky.) Obama infamously told
reporter Richard Wolffe, “You know, I actually believe my own bullshit.”
He has refused to be
forthcoming about his past (where are his academic records?). His own pastor,
Rev. Jeremiah Wright, told
author Ed Klein, that Obama said to him, “You know what your problem is?
You have to tell the truth.”
4. The media is responsible
The press is charged with
the sacred responsibility of protecting the people from the excesses of
government. Our press has been complicit, incompetent, or corrupt. They have betrayed us, abandoned us, and
deceived us.
5. Ted Cruz was right. So
was Sarah Palin.
The computer program is a
disaster. The insurance exchanges are a disaster. What’s left? The healthcare
system itself. And this, of necessity, will be
a disaster, too.
Millions of people have lost
their individual insurance plans. In 2015, millions more will lose their employer-provided
coverage (a fact which the Obama administration also knew,
and admitted elsewhere).
6. We are not SUBJECTS
We have tolerated these
incursions into our lives and livelihoods too long already. There is no end to
the insatiable demand “progressives” have to remake us in their image. Today it
is our insurance, our businesses, our doctors, our health care. Tomorrow some
new crusade will be announced that enables them
to take over other aspects
of our formerly free lives.
I will say it again: WE ARE
NOT SUBJECTS.
The 2014 elections are a
good place to start. Call your representative, your senator, your candidate and
tell them: “We are not subjects. You work for us. And if the word “REPEAL”
isn’t front and center in your campaign, we won’t vote for you. Period.”
