Watching the clip of the president above, you would think what he says is perfectly reasonable. Who would not want the government to provide better health care to more of our people, cheaper than it is now, and with the added bonus of reducing the national expenditure? It almost sounds too good to be true – and it is. The president is lying.

The bill currently before congress will do none of these things. In fact, if enacted, it will do just the opposite. The people know this. They are against it two to one. They know that this administration and this congress are doing them no favors. Come next election, they will remember how this (as of yet still unread) bill was literally shoved down their unwilling throats, greased with old-fashioned Chicago-style bribes, threats, hubris and sheer bloody-mindedness.

The way this health care bill was passed (and, make no mistake, it will be passed. The Dems got their 60 votes for cloture. For final passage they only need 51, along with the president’s signature) was a legislative outrage. It speaks to a larger pattern which is made perhaps even more obvious in the second part of John’s post (above) regarding the climate conference in Copenhagen. The fact that our president went there in an effort to legitimize an obvious farce, and give away money (we don’t have) in the name of ‘social (eco) justice’ – a concept that, if voted on by Americans, would produce no takers – simply begs for an alternative explanation to his publicly stated reasons.

I have often said that I don’t believe that Barack Hussein Obama is stupid. He does not do what he does out of inexperience; that everything he does is part of a plan. By his own words we know he wants to re-do America. That means he wants America to be different from what it has been. It has been pointed out that an overwhelming number of his closest aides, appointments, associations and influences harbor views that are rooted in Marxism. By his actions thus far he has been proven to be no fan of capitalism. On the geo-political spectrum, Obama is most closely aligned with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Brazil’s Lula, both unabashed card-carrying communists.

It is therefore no stretch to assume that BHO intends to impose communism on the United States. In practice, there are two features common to the creation and maintenance of the communist state. One is revolution; the other is strict party discipline, enforced by a dictator (for life). By breaking the bank and destroying the U.S. dollar through reckless spending and accruing unfathomable debt, Obama will have his revolution. By perverting the U.S. Constitution and rendering the whole notion of representative government obsolete, he installs himself as the unopposed leader of his party, the terms of which only he defines.

The Obama-nation will not cease in 2010 or even in 2012. In fact it looks like Obama will win a second term because the opposition vote will be split between Republicans and (independent) Conservatives. By 2016, the opposition will have been silenced altogether. Political struggles will not cease, however. These, as now will simply play out between the Left and the radical Left. The significance of this is that, as now, the American people will no longer have a say.
