Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting this next blog entry... I want to thank all of you who return to read and comment on this blog... I appreciate it!
So, it's been one week since the passage of "Obamacare"...half the country seems to be in a shocked daze, while the other is celebtrating. I, for one, have some mixed feelings about this. Obviously, I'm incredibly fearful for the future of this country. The President and Congress won the battle of overhauling the healthcare system... in which Americans will be required to purchase insurance or face a fine...and government will have the power to come between you and your doctor, your child/family member/loved one and their doctor...that cost $940 billion...(don't for get the trillion dollar deficit)...and just to top it all off, 73% of voters wanted Congress to scrap the bill and start over! Yes, the healthcare system IS flawed. It NEEDS work. Not placement in the hands of the government. Over half of the American public was against this bill, and yet the politicians that were elected to represent the PEOPLE kept pushing and got it passed. Our rights are at stake. The future is at stake. My future, and my generations future is at stake. The freedoms that are given to us by our Creator, NOT our government, are at stake now that the leadership of this country has shown they will stop at nothing to adhere to their sick, twisted, government-growing agenda.
However, the other half of me is slightly optimistic on this. Yes, I know, that sounds rather surprising. But I've been doing a lot of thinking. We have reason to be optimistic because the agenda of the politicians supposedly 'leading' this country we've been suspicious about all along, is now being revealed. The "mask is off" as Glenn Beck said just a week ago. He also said, and this I firmly believe, that the health care "battle" may have been won by Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc.... but the 'war' between right and wrong, truth and deception is nowhere near over. It has just begun. I believe a "sleeping giant" has been awakened in the American people. We are sick and tired of corrupt "politics as usual". We are sick and tired of elected official's phone lines being seemingly "too busy" to answer our calls. We are sick and tired of faulty campaign promises and fancy rhetoric and teleprompter-speeches taking the place of real efforts to further the republic. We are sick and tired of our voices being ignored by those elected to represent us.
Prior to the vote on healthcare, President Obama offered his fair share of bribes to get the votes needed to pass this bill. I don't want to delve into this too much because a corrupt politician is a corrupt politician... but, today I heard a comment that really made my hair stand on end. At school, a random political discussion broke out, namely abaout some of the bribes the president offered in exchange for votes. One particular Obama-fan said something like, "Do you really think other Presidents in the past haven't offered bribes for things?" ...insinuating that this practice is "okay". This just really made me wonder. Just because someone pushes their neighbor off the roof of a building, does that make it acceptable? WHY has the idea of politicians--PUBLIC SERVANTS-- doing their jobs, representing the people, listening to the people, gone out of style? Just something that made me think about the general order of things, and thought I'd share!
Lastly on today's post, I bring you the "Al Sharpton Socialism Shocker" that... actually, isn't all that much of a shocker...

Apparently, according to Sharpton, the American people voted for socialism when they voted for President Obama. Really? Nice move, Sharpton... I think you confirm our suspicions on the goals of the Obama administration. And anyway, the "will of the American people" didn't elect him, the electoral college did!
I leave you with a quote by Ronald Reagan, one the greatest Presidents of our time...
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves."
God Bless America, and Long Live the Republic.
