The United States of America was founded on one base principle, freedom. We were tired of tyranny, over taxation, and having no input, sound familiar? Isn't that exactly what Capitol Hill is doing to, We the People, now? Every time one of our representatives has a brain storm and contrives some sort of legislation for consideration we need to ask ourselves; Does make us more or less free? Are we giving up some of our freedom for security? Do we have more or less choice with this legislation enacted? If it doesn't pass this litmus test then thanks, but no thanks.
America was based on as little government as possible. We tried Anarchy,(no government),but no one could leave his property. You'd return to find someone had commandeered your stuff! So to allow you the freedom to leave your property and have something left when you returned we had to enact some type of rule. Our fore fathers insisted it be minimal, today's politicians seemed to have forgotten that.
I've lived through....
Eisenhower
Kennedy
Johnson
Nixon
Ford
Carter
Reagan
Bush
Clinton
Bush
And now Obama. Never, until now, have I lay awake at night wondering what's happening to our freedom. In less than nine months that has all changed. Why are there professed communists (Van Jones) advising our nations leader? Why are there so many secular progressives in Capitol Hill? Why is a health care reform no one wants being forced upon us? What happened to no taxation without representation? Who are those people in Washington representing? It doesn't appear to be the people who sent them there. There is no comfort to the obvious answers to these questions.
I fear we've done a horrible job selecting the people who represent us. We've not been demanding consumers and asked for the best. Voters have settled, and it's showing. Jefferson, Paine, Burr, and the rest would have run these people out of the country or challenged them to a duel, for the treason they are committing against our Republic.They designed us a masterpiece and we are looking at a run down garbage dump, full of special interest, pork projects, and entitlement programs. The very issues they risked their lives to overthrow.
The straw that breaks the camel's back was committed by Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and his cronies. They've sent a letter to 50 plus health insurance companies demanding open financial books, names of employees who make over 500k/yr, meetings held off site of company property, and a host of queries into private business information. They wonder why protesters paint them as Hitler like after these types of gestapo tactics. Every state has an Insurance Commissioner to oversee all of these issues and I believe the financial information they are entitled to is available through IRS corporate tax returns. Insurance companies are not required to answer to the God's on Capitol Hill, it's "PRIVATE" enterprise!
This erosion of privacy and freedom will have a trickle down effect if permitted to continue. We step closer to tyranny everyday. Sleep well my pretties!
God Bless
