(regarding the Patriots taking matters into their own hands at the Boston Tea Party)
"The people should never rise without doing something to be remembered, something notable, and striking. This destruction of the tea is so bold, so daring, so firm, intrepid, and inflexible, and it must have such important consequences, and so lasting, that I cannot but consider it as an epoch in history."
--John Adams
Deception, bribery, manipulation, payoffs, massive deficits and massive debt....all wrapped up with procedural maneuvering so that you don't actually have to have your name on a VOTE for this 2300 page bill.
It all sounds great, right? You would want your health care formed with this as its conception....illegitimately, all of it. We wouldn't want the bastard child of the Congress to be aborted, would we?
WHAT IS NEXT? YOU and generations of your children are a slave TO THE GOVERNMENT.
I just can't begin to describe the way I've been feeling lately. I'm grieving, deep down, because I know I'm watching the beginning of the end of America as we all know it. It's been a miserable, difficult death roll we've been on now for more than a year. The government will not take note of the dissatisfaction of the people. It has decided that instead of ruling from the people up, that it will be from the government down.
Your world is turned upside down and that's why you're feeling so disturbed, upset, and sick.
I want to EXPLODE when I hear a congressman say that we have a RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE!
Our rights come from GOD!
OUR RIGHTS DO NOT COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
The government is supposed to guard and protect our RIGHTS not INVENT THEM!
Have any of those in Congress read the founding documents lately?!?
Our rights come from GOD!
OUR RIGHTS DO NOT COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
The government is supposed to guard and protect our RIGHTS not INVENT THEM!
Have any of those in Congress read the founding documents lately?!?
It has been a miserable death roll, and we've been fighting it, but it's discouraging to know that we are just at the beginning of our fight. Are we strong enough to continue?
Our country wasn't a perfect country, but it was a wonderful and free country. We are on the verge of a permanent change.
You see, HEALTH CARE is not ABOUT your health, or your care, or insurance, or your doctor, or "fixing" ANYTHING.
This bill is about POWER.
This bill is about POWER.
If it was about health care, why did they stick the education in there? Purely because they want the power over that, too. There is no end to the TAKEOVER nature of this president, and you're only seeing the BEGINNING.
He's got more than two years to do more. Cap & Trade and "immigration reform" will be on the heels of "health reform". Especially when Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are spurred on and giddy from the victory in this fight against the PEOPLE to take over health care. He will be assured that the democrats in Congress work for HIM and not for YOU.
In the future, your children will find it necessary to beg the federal government for the money for their loans. The government will decide who gets money for their education and the government will FURTHER control that.
The health care issue isn't about health care. That's the reason you're seeing the "representatives of the people" clearly go against the will of the people and do the bidding of the Marxist president, is because this bill is about POWER.
As if the government hasn't messed things up badly enough, they're ready to seize more power away from you and your family and the doctors you employ and take over your health.
NOTHING the government does is better than what you could do.
You don't need to look far to see proof that the government CANNOT do a better job at this than you can.
Furthermore, to hit our country this way, when we're broke, when our people are losing jobs, left and right and no hope in sight of things getting better, you KNOW there is no consideration here for the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Just to oversee the TAXATION for this bill, the government will add 16,000 people alone to the IRS. And that is only the beginning of the expansion of your oppressive government. Our children will have dictated to them what they can eat, how many children that they will be allowed, there is no end to the control this will bring. Do you like extreme sports? Too bad, if the government deems that you are not free to make this choice, since YOU are (supposedly) not paying the bill. The government will mess this up as bad or worse than anything they've controlled to date.
The president has shown us exactly WHO and WHAT he is. I consider the actions and antics of the democrats to be flagrant disobedience of the constitution THEY and OUR PRESIDENT swore to uphold. You have seen the government "of, by and for the people" turned on its head.
You will now serve your government.
And they're already on to the next thing they'd like to take over.
Have you got enough fight in you for the rest of your life? Have we raised our children so that they'll be willing to fight the fight?
Our forefathers were willing to risk their lives, the honor, their sacred fortune, and knew when they signed the Declaration of Independence that they were going to have to be willing to pay with their lives.
And look how all that's been lowered, and cheapened.
ALL FOR A HANDOUT.
You will become a number.
You will become a dependent on an unknown bureaucrat, who more than likely has avoided paying his own taxes, tell YOU and YOURS what will and won't be paid for in regards to your health.
God help us all if this goes through, and I have a feeling that it will.
And you haven't seen the half of it yet. Your President has said as recently as last week that this is just a start.


I tremble and weep at what is going on. I can hardly bare to watch the news as it only gets progressively worse. God help us.
ReplyDeleteI'm right beside you Joni! I too, tremble at what is going on right in front of our faces! Large numbers of the next generation don't see it... I can tell you! At least where I live they don't. We're raised our kids to understand, and I do hope there are more kids out there that do... but despair of it. Keep on, and thank you! God help us all
ReplyDeleteIm sick to my stomach at whats happening in this country. And I dont get the people who, say we are all just complaining. Hello? Do they live on the same planet as us? Perhaps thats the key here.......those in charge of not of this earth. What else could be the reason that people like this exist? They are monsters.
ReplyDeleteJoni,
ReplyDeleteTY for expressing my thoughts and emotions of today as I watched the 'progress' being made on this bill. I truly feel that the majority of Americans are against this kind of health reform.
Having spoken to a few Canadians about the reality of their health care system a few years ago, and feeling likewise that our elected officials now only serve and represent THEIR interests (which is money and power) I can only say too--God help us!

BTW--if I didn't already say this---one of the good thoughts that went through my head today, while listening to the worsening news, was that of e-mailing you and begging you to write a post on this! TY again for reading my mind:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings, A
I am beyond grief about this willful destruction of our country. May God help us in the days and years ahead.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to think anymore. I was raised to know that this country was the greatest on Earth and that we had the greatest gift that God could ever give us, besides life, and that is FREEDOM. That was just taken from us tonight. I'm so disheartened that I just don't know what to say anymore. If I would have ever wanted to live in a socialist, communist country, I would have moved to one.
ReplyDeleteI feel there is a sickening in every PATRIOT's stomach tonight as we watch our country being ripped from our hands as the many cowardly politicians could not remember the oath that they took to uphold the Constitution of this country. As stated in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, this country is suppose to be "of the people, by the people, for the people". That is clearly not true anymore in this country. Our Founding Fathers are turning in their graves as they see these tyrants tear apart everything they fought so hard for.
Those who voted for the destruction of America tonight are not Patriots. They are the lowest of cowards that walk on this Earth.
Thank you Joni for all you do on this blog. Please keep up the great work and effort you put forth every day. I pray that with all of our hard work and convictions of turning this country around, it will happen. You are inspiring. Know that there are many who stand right beside you.
We are in TOTAL agreement! I asked someone "if the plan is so great, why are Congress, Senate and BO exempting themselves?" The response, "they already have a fabulous health care plan so don't need this one."
ReplyDeleteDO WHAT???? And these people VOTE...as evidenced by the last election.
These times are extremely disheartening and negative; God help us.
With our tax dollars, we just bought Obama's next election, and purchased our own slavery as well. My esteemed democratic congressman, Bart STUPID voted for tax-payer funded abortions. I wonder where he thinks he'll get funding for his upcoming re-election campaign?? Right To Life should never have supported him in the first place, because how can one truly take a pro-life stance if they're members of the Democrat Party? He just proved this point, and I hope all pro-life groups with withdraw their support of Stupak post-haste. Will he get support from the DNC? We'll have to watch and see, since I don't think the Democrats are lining up to support Stupak either. Hopefully, he just nailed the final nail in his own re-election campaign coffin. I certainly don't think Stupak has seen anger yet. He releases voice mails which are supposedly from Tea Party People, which are actually from liberal bottom feeders like Micheal Moore and his ilk. The old saying goes: "I don't make threats, I make promises!" My promise to Stupak is this: I WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN MY POWER TO DEFEAT YOU IN YOUR NEXT RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN. COUNT ON IT: YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN' YET!" I certainly do not think it is right to threaten harm to any of our elected representatives. But, after this past summers' town Hall Meetings, the Tea Parties of the last year, the countless phone calls, e-mails, letters and polls which CLEARLY demonstrate our well-thought-out opposition to this bill, do politicians really expect us to believe they're SURPRISED at our anger? Really. Really? YOU'RE SURPRISED, BART STUPID, THAT WE'RE ANGRY AT YOUR BETRAYAL, YOUR IGNORANCE, YOUR TEMERITY?? We're beyond angry. We've moved from angry to highly motivated. It's time to THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!
