People Shout When Things Are Rammed Down Throats
Why are people screaming? Because they feel powerless against policies being rammed down their throats!
You want more reasoned discussion? Try reading the bill you're forcing onto us!
Oh, wait. Here's an idea: To further the rational debate, start with knowing what it is you're emotionally ramming through Congress!
Leftists are so concerned about Big Businesses! What about Huge Federal Government - that's the biggest single corporation I know of! The most sluggish and the least responsive.
The DMV in charge of Health Care!
At least Big Business is a common noun of the common man! And it's plural - many groups of The People. Ain't nothin' more democratic than that!
Unless you mean a People's Red Revolution. Then you're talkin' Liberte at the butt of an AK-47 and guillotine, not Liberty under a Tree, freely and openly discussing and debating it's terms!
Now that's democracy at work. Many people coming together for the common good - incorporating, to make and sell shoes, clothes, cars, cell phones, TVs, computers.
Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor? Frederich Bastiat during the French Revolution called it legal plunder! Legal theft!
Barak Hussein Obama called it in his last debate: "Share the wealth." There should have been a counter-revolution of liberty loving cavaliers with swords raised rushing to rescue government of, for and by the People, from robbing the People.
You want Power to the People?
Don't lower the standards of home ownership, Fanny and Freddie!
Teach them correct principles of financial management -the frugality of Ben Franklin, the First Populist Founder! A Common Man who taught: $1.00 earned, .99 spent = happiness; $1.00 earned, $1.01 spent = misery!
Quit clamoring in the streets, fists raised and pitchforks threatening, for other people's money!
Let us voluntarily divest ourselves of our own wealth for the good of our neighbor.
Don't you ram "goodness" down our throats, you hypocrites! Joe Biden making $300,000+ gave $350 in charitable giving. My buddy making $57,000 gave $8000+ - of his own free will and choice!
With a $12 trillion debt hanging over our heads, misery is our selfish, self-indulgent legacy for the next generation!
Shame on all of you narcissistic Woodstock Generation!
You wonder why we're mad?

ObamaCare is Like Federal School Lunch
Just a few ideas on ObamaCare:
- Not many kids now like Federal school meals. There's lots of waste; much of the lunch is thrown away. Would be better to give each student an LDC Lunch Debit Card and let them use their cell-phones to punch in what they will eat, and have McDonalds or Burger King deliver to the school from a list of approved and balanced meals.
- They could have an online Weight Watchers-like account that would allow them to keep track of the Points they use, thus teaching them good nutritional practices.
- Health care Federal-style would be similar to the Federal Lunch program. But at least every child gets a meal, the Left would say. However, the Market (which is to say the People) would make billions of individual decisions better than a bureaucrat sitting at a desk who knows only statistical spreads of data, and not individuals.
- This Leftist generation rails on "evil corporations" - large impersonal organizations of suits - which leave oils spills, deny the poor their rights of health care, and so on. Yet, there is no larger and more frightening levianthan of corporation of thought than the Federal Government!
- A woman asked Ben Franklin: What have you given us? He replied: A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.
- I don't know that this nation of children clamoring for a King can stand up to the rigors of a Republic - the intellectual, physical, budgetary, financial and emotional requirements of self-governance.
- That woman who told the media, after Obama was elected: I don't have to worry about paying my mortgage, or my bills or nuthin' now! The fact of such people who clamor for a king, is erroding the structure of freedom to decide the trillions of daily decisions that are impossible for a central committee to make.
- And yet we must take care of our poor!
- One way would be to let me give the $1,000 dollars left over in my Flexible Spending Account at the end of the year to some entity which would distribute that remainder to a poor family in my area. Let me be free to make such a decision!
Just a few considerations from a free citizen, not so sure Obama is making the best decisions about our health care.

Obamacare Discussed by two Cato Institute Experts
Two economists at the Cato Institute discuss President Obama's health care plan in a point-by-point analysis that presents the other side of the coin.
Go to the Cato Institute web site:
http://www.cato.org/weekly/
Click on June 25, 2009 - "Michael D. Tanner and Michael F. Cannon dissect Obama's health care plans" for a 5 1/2 minute discussion of Obam's plan.
Well worth the short time it takes to shed light on a muddled issue.

Leftists Believe in Despots Not in Constitutional Institutions
The Honduran Supreme Court blocked a dictator in his drive to stay in power who called for a new constitution more suited to his despotic aims! Their constitution expressly forbids it. It is treason to change the constitution for the purpose of gaining elective office.
The Cato Institute lays out the reasons to leave the Honduran people alone. Leftists in this country will likewise want to change the U.S. Constitution when it doesn't meet their aims, goals and needs.
Go to June 30 podcast at http://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/podcast-archive.php for a detailed discussion why the Leftist factions in the United States are not justified in interfering in Honduras.
