After
using dubious methods to obtain a
219-212 victory in the House of
Representatives, Democrats passed
Obama’s 2700 page socialized medicine,
and who knows what else, bill Sunday
night. Today Democrats are laughing and
patting themselves on the back while
singing “Happy Days Are Here Again.”
Republicans today, none of whom voted
for this travesty, are assessing their
options and 11 states are filing law
suits. Most of these suits challenge the
premise that the federal government,
under the guise of regulating interstate
commerce, has the authority to make
citizens buy health insurance under the
threat monetary fine for failing to do
so. Whether or not the states will
prevail remains to be seen. In any
event, the matter will be tied up in
court for years to come.
Speaking
about the Chicago machine political
methods used by the House, Former
Speaker Newt Gingrich said this, “The
real principles of the machine were
articulated by Democratic [Fla]
Congressman Alcee Hastings who was
impeached and removed from the bench as
a federal judge, before being elected to
the House when he said ‘There ain't no
rules here, we're trying to accomplish
something. . . .All this talk about
rules. . . .When the deal goes down . .
. we make 'em up as we go along.’" You
might remember that Hastings was
appointed to the federal bench by Jimmy
Carter. In 1981 he was charged with
accepting a $150,000 bribe. He was
acquitted by a jury after his
co-conspirator, Wm. Borders refused to
testify. Borders went to prison.
Hastings is the quality of congress
critter that we are up against these
days.
Something
that James Taranto wrote in the Wall
Street Journal this afternoon got me
to thinking, “Obama and Pelosi, it now
seems clear, took the opposite message:
Our power is in jeopardy, so we'd
better use it before it's too late.”
Now that the Obama, Reid, Pelosi cabal
have been able to ram this so-called
health care reform bill down the throats
of a public that is over 75% against it,
what’s next? What are they planning
before the November congressional
election? If it was me, I’d do
everything I could to make as many
illegal aliens citizens and get them
signed up to vote. Most of these people
vote for Democrats. Making citizens out
of enough of them could help the
Democrats realize a dream they’ve had
since the FDR administration—permanent
one party rule.
Remember
the failed comprehensive immigration
reform bill from the Bush
administration? That bill is laying
around somewhere, and probably not far
from Reid’s and Pelosi’s desks. Besides
giving de facto amnesty to
millions of illegals currently living in
the United States, the term
“comprehensive” means there are probably
dozens of other things hidden in the
bill that we don’t know about—like the
things hidden in the health care
overhaul that was signed yesterday that
Pelosi said we would find out about once
it became law. I can hardly wait.
If they
are successful in getting amnesty for
all the illegals, the next thing is Cap
and Trade. This will allow the federal
government to take over all the electric
and gas companies.
“Under my plan of a cap and trade
system, electricity rates would
necessarily skyrocket,” said then
Senator Obama in 2008. This will enable
the government to rob us once again. The
rationale is based on Global Warming.
Man is causing the climate to change and
giving money to politicians to blow is
the government’s solution to this
imaginary problem. But if you are
poor—and a primary recipient of the new
health care plan, you won’t have to pay
for your electricity under Cap and
Trade. Only the rich folks will have to
pay--that’s until the government runs
out of rich folks. The responsibility to
pay will trickle down to the almost
rich, the want to be rich, and finally
anyone with a job.
