WHY DO THE DEMOCRATS REALLY WANT A HEALTH CARE BILL?

By

JERRY AHERN 

           I’ve got to ask myself why the guy who lives in the White House is willing to risk his presidency and Reid and Pelosi and a significant number of House and Senate Democrats are willing to put their jobs on the line and fly in the face of public sentiment with their draconian health care legislation.  Now, if they weren’t who they are – in other words, weren’t leftist secular progressive liberals – I might be tempted to say they are willing to risk their careers for principle.  But, knowing who they are and what leftists want for this nation, I fully realize nothing a normal person would consider moral principle has anything to do with it.  

So, why?

Sure, the health care industry is the sixth largest industry in the nation and, if the leftists ram health care legislation down America’s throat, the health care industry will expand enormously.  Yet, in doing so, the leftists also risk – and seriously so – bankrupting the country. 

It’s almost as if Reid and Pelosi somehow must get this health care swindle through in order to fulfill a promise to the guy in the White House, to deliver for him.  Meanwhile, the World Health Organization was beating the H1N1 drum and the United Nations is pushing for global health care “reform,” wanting to re-distribute health care research resources.  Again, it’s almost as if, after Reid and Pelosi deliver state run health care to the guy in the White House, he, in turn, must deliver it to the United Nations.  The U.N. wants to be able to tax and regulate the “have” nations and re-distribute wealth and resources to the “have-not” nations. 

One must again ask, “Why?”  The U.N. certainly isn’t acting out of the goodness of the organization’s heart, of course.  If they were, why would they “re-distribute” so much wealth to their fancy edifices and waste money, like they do? 

Clearly, we are in at the birthing process of One World Government.  The leftists in the USA and the leftists in the U.N. are trying to use health care and also trying to use climate and environmental issues as the means by which to curtail freedom and take control.  The reason leftists – the home grown kind and those in the U.N. — don’t like the Second Amendment to our Constitution is that most other “civilized” nations have strict gun control while we stubborn Americans would still have the means to stand up and say, “Hold it!” and back up those words as required. 

The guy in the White House and his vassals in the Senate and the House clearly want the people of the United States to be like the people of the rest of the world’s nations, living at the will and whim of government edicts and political royalty, which cannot be constrained by inconvenient things like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 

2010 is upon us and, this November, if we make it that long, we must wrest control of America from the hands of those who so despise our freedoms that they wish to change America to match their leftist social vision, make America a land where those who “know what’s best” make the decisions and the people of the United States have no say in those decisions. 

If it’s that important to the leftist social planners that they’ll risk their status as princes and princesses in order to achieve their goal, then it must be so important that, should the American electorate fail to stop them, all may well be lost. 

Now is not the time for Third Parties, for “revenge” against the Republicans for not being this enough or that enough when “W” was in office.  Now is not the time to be a butthead.  Let’s stand behind the Republicans because that’s the only chance we have to defeat leftist Democrats and take America back.  This is too important an issue to do otherwise.

LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER, SHALL WE?

February 14, 2010

 
     The snow is melting away as I write this. It began melting yesterday. On Friday, Northeast Georgia got hit with the odd snowstorm. I use the word “odd” because, in most years, we never see snow. This year we’ve seen a dusting or two and that couple of inches that is just melting off. [...]

WHY DON’T WE REALLY TRY CAPITALISM?

This morning, when I fired up the computers, FOX News and AP were both proclaiming that the guy living in The White House [...]

McGOOHAN’S NUMBER SIX IS STILL NUMBER ONE

November 18, 2009

     Sharon and I warily but eagerly watched AMC’s re-working of the landmark mid-1960s television series entitled, “THE PRISONER.” We should have been more wary. Jim Caviezel, Ian McKellen and the rest of the cast – especially actor Lennie James, who did a marvelously affecting performance as “147,” the cab driver — deserve credit for [...]

WILL WE “BE SEEING YOU?”
By
JERRY AHERN
            Two weeks ago, Sharon was browsing through TV Guide and noticed that the Independent Film Channel (IFC) was running the original 1967 series “The Prisoner,” the brainchild of the seriously brilliant Patrick McGoohan – actor, director, producer, writer, two-time Emmy winner and thinker.  Sharon and I first watched the [...]
