“Liberal Media in Tank for Obama’s Socialized Medicine” (Heritage Foundation, December 23rd, 2008)
So you want to grant government hegemony over your health, huh?
What is it about voters who forever treat politicians like battered wives treat their abusive husbands? “Well, he punched me in the face for the seventeenth time and knocked out four of my teeth but I still love him and he said I can trust him now so I’m going to give him another chance.”
You actually want government to take over and dictate your personal well-being? You do know, don’t you, that you’re putting your blind faith in the same politicians who are bankrupting the Social Security and Medicare ponzi schemes and bilking you out of trillions of tax dollars so they can "stimulate" their politically-connected billionaire banking buddies, right?
You know it means becoming completely dependent upon the same kinds of bureaucrats who couldn’t get FEMA off its fat, inefficient office chairs after Hurricane Katrina punched New Orleans in the face, right? Knocking out most of her teeth. Have you seen the Queen of the Mississippi lately, over three years after her near death experience?
You’re talking about trusting your very life to a class of beings responsible for spawning the likes of Rod Blagojevitch, the grafting governor of Illinois, and Eliot Spitzer, the whorehumping governor of New York.
Sort of like begging a mountain lion to rip out your throat to keep the grizzly bear from killing you.
Sort of like voting the fascists out of office and replacing them with socialists. Or kicking the big government Republican hacks out the door while holding it wide open for the big government Democrat hacks to waltz right in.
Not a very high IQ play, that, swapping one set of power-lusters for another.
Don’t you know yet that there’s a much better option available to you?
How about not being brunch for the bear or lunch for the lion? How about not being the favorite chew toy of fascists or socialists?
“The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing” (Colbert, 1665)
How about not being the goose for the Republican and Democrat feather pluckers?
How about owning yourself? How about becoming a libertarian?
But wait. That would require internal fortitude and personal integrity. And knowledge.
When you find those things please call the libertarians. They’ll happily welcome you.
