So first, the ruling. It is offensive to me that Federal Government now has the power to require anyone to purchase a good or service. Some say; you have to buy car insurance. Even the President who was a Constitutional Law Professor used that argument on tv. Really idiots? You wanna have that argument? Okay, you don't have to buy car insurance if you don't operate your vehicle on a public road. Also, you are not required to carry insurance on yourself, only to cover losses someone else sustains for your cause. The Healthcare Mandate says the Federal Government can penalize (or tax) you for NOT participating in what they think you should have.
One of the things I find absurd is that the Supreme Court found that the Affordable Healthcare Act is only legal if the penalty for not buying health insurance is a tax. But then the Obama administration and supporters go on tv and insist it is a penalty. Hey idiots; if it is a penalty, the Court said you can't have it. Duh!!!!
So, now that the Federal Government can do it regarding this, what is to stop them from telling you EVERYTHING you must eat based on their health recommendations? And we know the government NEVER gets anything wrong. Dumb Masses!
Now, some people are talking of and actually are, displaying their American flags upside down. Others are condemning this and saying it is disrespectful. Some are even saying it is disrespectful to veterans. I'm a vet and I say this is much more respectful than the President was when he was campaigning. That's right, President Obama said President George W Bush was "unpatriotic" for allowing the national debt to increase by $4trillion in eight years. Well, Mr. Obama (and all you followers of his) what say you now that the national debt has increased more than $6trillion in less than four years under President Obama? Dumb Masses!
The United States of America was born out of people realizing they didn't like living under the government's thumb in Europe. Yet now we vote for MORE government control. We watch socialist nations fall into ruin and somehow think we can do it better.
The United States of America IS THE LAST BEST HOPE FOR THE WORLD! Some think that's arrogant to say. But I say; who does everyone turn to when they're in trouble? Who supplies the money, the humanitarian aid, the military aid? WE DO!
Many of the people who support expanding the Federal Government have never had to go to the mat with regulatory agencies. They've never risked their livelihood for anything. They've never felt the wrath of the Federal Government. I have literally had a State government middle manager look me in the eye and say; "you can fight this, but if you do, we will bring the full weight and authority of the government to bear." All you friends of big government, does that sound like old-style mob tactics?
I believe our country is in distress. We must return to our greatness. Otherwise it is just a matter of time before our children and grandchildren see their country overtaken. If you are truly concerned about THE WORLD you leave behind, you might want to pay more attention to THE COUNTRY you leave behind.
