The Brown Shirts are Back

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Was this statement issued by a radical liberal support group or, perhaps an assembly of neurotic Democrats who in blind faith to their charismatic demogogue leader want to track down dissenting voices on anything this administration proposes? No. It is published on the White House website.

Ordinary citizens are now characterized as organized mobs when they question their elected representatives; Americans are held in contempt when they reject radical changes to their institutions, health care, and taxation. A president, who never stops campaigning, remains angry at his country and countrymen and manifests that anger by use of tactics and postings as seen above that are eerily similar to the Third Reich surveillance of its citizens. Where is the radical ACLU on this one? (That question is obviously rhetorical)

The ruling class is worried. They are in an all-out attack mode on American citizens. They have organized their efforts, abetted by the major media outlets, to characterize the lawful and peaceful assemblies of citizens as "angry mobs;" "rabid right-wing extremists;" "town hall hostility;" and "manufactured town-hall meetings." The radical left uses language to modify behaviors and beliefs. They are now referring to their intent to destroy our health care system as "Health Insurance Reform," replacing "National Health Care Reform." Why would they do that? Because, words matter and they want to create demons (insurance companies) while contemptuously translating this irrationality to the American public...the ignorant masses. Well, this time Americans are educating themselves as never before on the radical agenda of this administration. They are increasingly skeptical of what they hear from the White House. They object to the unwillingness of the ruling class to hear other opinions and alternatives on what constitutes "change." Americans are angered that the violent radicals of the 1960s, some now having access to this administration, lecture them on their peaceful dissent. Are these so-called "town hall" forums lively, loud, spirited, and emotion-packed? Yes, and rightfully so in the minds of the people who are engaging their elected representatives. But, they too are peaceful. Polls reflect that 56% of Americans do not want any changes to our private health care system, while 36% support its destruction. Do the lock-step politicians care? Obviously, not much.

When a government conducts surveillance on its citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and petitioning their representatives, we should be worried.

Perhaps a good review of the health care bills is in order. A simple comparison of statements made by the proponents of these bills to the actual language in the bills will reveal many "fishy" things. It is then the duty of citizens to email the White House to inform the President of "disinformation" promulgated by radical liberals on healthcare reform, so that our leader can "keep track of them." And, while you are doing that, why not ask him to define what he thinks "status-quo" is. He seems to love the phrase.

In the meantime, be careful about your "casual conversations." You never know who is listening.

Are the Radical Liberals Crazy, or Are We?

Can you believe that Congress in following the direction of a community organizer is at the brink of destroying the greatest health care system on earth and replacing it with a government-managed monopoly which will dispossess you in managing your own health decisions? Americans in huge numbers do not want anything to do with this. They are rejecting this extremely radical big government takeover of a most personal side of their lives. In increasing numbers, Americans see this coercive act of government on its citizens as an attack on their liberty, and right to self-determination and privacy. Americans instinctively know that government is incompetent to effectively manage any systemic program. The proof is clearly seen in its disgraceful performance in managing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Do you actually believe that this same government will demonstrate anything different if it successfully destroys our healthcare delivery system and struggles to manage its newly created government plan for 300 million Americans? Look at its performance in the so-called "Cash for Clunkers" Democrat boondoggle. It resulted in 136 pages of rules and regulations rendering it nearly impossible to cut a government check for $4,500. Americans are disgusted with the political machinations by Democrats in the legislative and executive branches, who rely on propagandistic talking points that grossly distort and mislead us on the true content and goal of this legislation: reparations to a select few by forcing total government control of health care on everyone; displace you, an individual, as the primary economic and political unit in our country with coercive collectivism; expansion of government power over you to slowly starve you of your liberty; and, to instill in the minds of our young the preposterous thought that we are all owed positive rights to food, clothes, house ownership, retirement security, and, medical care. These ignoble tenets of the liberal agenda erode the institutions that serve us and diminish us as free, independent, and self-reliant individuals.

Why are the radical liberals so effusive in their hate of their country, disrespectful of its citizens, and obsessed with using scapegoats whom they demonize to rationalize their psychotic decisions: hate big business; hate Wall Street; hate the banks; hate the coal and oil industry; hate the rich; and now, hate the insurance industry. Why so much hate? We can only deduce that the radical liberal has lots of personal psychological baggage. His childhood years may have been a traumatic experience characterized by emotional abandonment, indulgence without love, developmental deficits, rejection, and an array of other early phychological injuries. As an adult with power, he now has a distorted perception of the world, the distortion caused by his suffering at the hands of his caretakers. He projects his neurotic preoccupation with feelings of deprivation and exploitation onto his world today. He believes that Americans are generally incompetent to make their own choices and deserve only the liberty he sees appropriate in a society structured partially by him to give himself some relief from his internal pain.

Will you deliver to this truly troubled group of people your right to self-determination, your self-reliance, your personal responsibilities as a competent adult, your individualism and autonomy, and your liberty? Or, instead, will you stand for your principles and rights, your personal beliefs, your right to direct your own life, to voluntarily cooperate and not accept government coersion supporting collectivism, and not be labled a citizen-child who is incapable of caring for yourself? Will you demand of your government to leave you alone?!

Are we crazy to believe that ordered liberty should be a fundamental "deliverable" from a limited government that is respectful of us, our sovereignty, our property, and of our right to be defended against government intrusion, all envisioned by our very astute founders? Or are we quite reasonable and prudent in having these expectations of our government?

Who really knows what causes the madness of a person? We are all products of our experiences and learning processes. But, if that madness manifests itself in a body politic, then competent adults need to take political action by turning these neurotic people out of office. We need to rescue our civil society from the crazy people. I pray they get medical help, hopefully from our high quality, open and competitive private medical care delivery system.
