The Stimulus Tyranny

This week the liberals in both houses of congress passed unprecedented legislation that will enslave the citizens of this country for generations to come. Conservatives are outraged and so should all Americans be, whatever their political affiliation.
There are many reasons for anger contained in this so called, "stimulus package."
There will be so much money confiscated from citizens for generations to come, that it will undoubtedly adversely affect the prosperity of this country. Since we are already in a financial crunch it is hard to imagine any good reason to take more money from the people, especially since the only thing that is likely to be stimulated is the greed and power lust of liberal politicians. It seems that large amounts of cash in the bill are not designated for anything specific, while other large amounts are designated to questionable organizations, such as ACORN.
Last week, after church, I spoke to a British subject who now lives in the USA. I remarked that with the passing of the "stimulus" bill our country was slipping away from us. The next thing would be a health care takeover. It was not until after the vote that Fox News began commenting on the hidden, but dramatic health care changes contained in the bill. I was stunned!
In the post below, which I entered a few days ago, is an email which gives a brief, but disturbing insight into the British health care system. This is where we are headed with our national health care. When liberals tell us that it will provide health care for everyone, it is a lie. Look at the British system. Government provided health care means that no one will get adequate care. Imagine being told that the waiting time for angina is 2 weeks! Another way that care will be rationed is that it will simply be denied. According to the bill, all our medical records will be in a data base, which our PCP will have to consult and then submit to get government permission to treat us. If you are elderly, forget it. You are expected, according to Daschle, to bear your infirmities or die. Only the abortion of the unborn matches this nefarious disregard for human life. Soylent green, anyone?
Adding to the outrage is the fact that no one was permitted to read the final, lengthy bill ahead of time! It was not given to the legislators in time to read. One "explanation" that was given was that "legislators don't read the bills anyway." Is that supposed to be comforting? What it means is that we do not have anyone in congress representing the people. What we have is warm bodies sitting there collecting salaries and perks and power for themselves.
"No taxation without representation," was the slogan of the American Revolution. We need to make it our slogan again today!
