They Won’t Give Up

I've been surfing around this morning catching up on news and commentary. It seems like the president and his henchmen are bound and determined to shove government run health care down our throats. This article for instance:

Democratic congressional leaders hope President Barack Obama's unveiling of his final health care package Wednesday will help resuscitate an effort that seemed all but dead until recently… (snip)…

Now, Democrats are aiming toward a two-step approach. The House would approve a sweeping Senate-passed overhaul bill, then both chambers would make changes in it — like making subsidies more generous — by passing a separate measure.

Democrats would use a fast-track process — called reconciliation — for that second bill that would let them approve it with only a majority of Senate votes. Republicans say that process should not be used for such major legislation and accuse Democrats of subverting the rules, but White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel defended it Tuesday after meeting with top Democrats, calling it "a normal procedure."

What part of "no" don't they understand? We the People have told them over and over that we do not want their program.

I'm sure that the Founding Fathers are standing as close to the pearly gate as possible, shouting, yelling and waving their arms at us to wake up and stop this fiasco and the many other efforts to snatch our country and freedom out from under us.

Whether you like Glenn Beck or not, listen to him and learn what the Founders had in mind when they wrote our Constitution. It wasn't a nanny state, where everything goes to the government only to be doled out to us in tiny bits in return.

No, it was for us to have the freedom to work and work hard to accomplish great things in our individual lives….or to choose not to work hard and live at poverty level if that's all we aspired to! That's what we were given, and it looks like we aren't going to be able to keep it after all.

Every adult and child in this country should grap hold of a good American History book and a copy of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. Read what those men were thinking and how they envisioned this nation. This, my friends, is not what they saw as our future.

It will require hard work, hardship, and sacrifice to turn our nation back to what She is meant to be. Look at the hardships and turmoil faced by our founders and those brave colonists who said, "We have had enough!" and fought for their freedom. Are we less able to do so than they? Or, are we so spoiled by the nanny state that we no longer have the will to stand up for what is right?
