How ironic that the Baby Boom generation will be the first to experience socialist health care.  This most destructive of generations, prideful of its "sophistication" and "enlightenment" reached its zenith by imposing of the American people the most leftist government in our history.  What justice it is that through the enactment of nationalized health care these leftists will, through the rationing of care, engineer the rapid liquidation of the aging Boomer population.   Oh well, I suppose one must look for the silver lining; the Obama health care plan represents a "final solution" for the Social Security funding crisis!

Words have long been striped of meaning in the brave new world of the Obama administration.   "Reform" in the health care context means the curtailment of care for 90% of the people to ensure that the other 10% - many of whom don't want coverage - will be.    Since to expand  coverage and curtailing costs is impossible unless services are reduced, the leftists' nationalized health care system must ration care.  This perforce requires engaging in a cost/benefit analysis, i.e., assigning a monetary value to your life based on age, illness, etc.   At some point, either by aging, physical deterioration, lifestyle, or combination of these and factors,  the cost of keeping you alive exceeds your worth.  Hence, your life will no longer be worth living according to the State.   At that point you will transit from treatment to hospice and reconciling you to dying, even though you might still live many years with treatment.    Quite simply, nationalized health care as envisioned by the leftists requires accelerating the deaths of the old, the infirm, and like.

Once this road is taken everyone knows the destination.    Denying treatment to the old folks is just the opening bid.  The pressure of cost control combined with the faux moral basis of "life not worth living" will move on to the mentally or physically handicapped, the terminally ill,  those diagnosed with conditions that the odds are against recovery.     Once the individual's lifespan becomes a matter of accounting to the government there arises the argument that he has a duty to move on (die) and allow resources to be allotted to more productive purposes.   Moreover, since it is inevitable that health rationing decision-making will be informed by the values of the prevailing political ideology, it is also inevitable that political considerations will creep into life and death decisions.   Let's flip the coin and entertain the most paranoid delusions of the leftists.   Say a conservative administration gains control the government and health care decision-making.  Why,f or example, should precious health care dollars be spend on drug addicts who contracted a terminal disease from drug use?  Why should you or I pay for health care for the AIDS patient who got the disease from deviate sexual practices?   Why pay for the felon's health care?   Once the door is open to the government rationing health care it follows that government will base rationing on behavior as well.   They won't stop with smoking.   

Suppose a loved one, say age 60, is diagnosed with a form of cancer that makes the odds of recovery long.  With expensive treatment, the loved one has a chance, albeit a long one, of recovery and living out their natural lifespan.   Will Obamacare pay for this treatment? Don't bet on it.   Say the loved one is 70.  Will Obamacare pay?  Not a chance.    Moreover, unlike other countries, Obamacare is designed to force private insurance and options out-of-business, so that your loved one is trapped in a system where the decision whether he lives or dies is made by a government employee working out a grid.    What a marvelous future, life or death decided by how one falls in a grid.

All of this is profoundly evil.   It cheapens life and coarsens the conscience of the people.    Soon it becomes all too easy to justify putting down whole groups of people as having "lives not worth living."     Think it can't happen here?  Germany before Hitler was one of the world's most cultured and advanced societies, the birthplace of Protestantism.    We all know what happened there.

The great majority of the American people intuitively understand that nationalized health care is wrong.   They are communicating this to Congress in progressively louder fashion.   Will it make a difference?   Perhaps with a few but I'm convinced that the great majority of Congressional Democrats are so ideologically wedded to the concept that they will knowing defy the wishes of their constituents and force on the American people a scheme the people are dead set against.    The leftists believe the great mass of voters will forget their anger by the time the 2010 elections roll around or are so ideologically blind that they are willing to risk defeat to attain the goal.    Maybe with ACORN counting the votes and the Black Panthers monitoring the polling places they don't worry about elections.

I'm also convinced that this Congress will force "Cap and Trade" energy legislation and legalize millions of illegal immigrants.  The leftists in charge of Congress understand that this is their shot, a  once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enact the socialist dream list of legislation and they will not forgo the chance.

So, are we to assume that the 2010 elections will result in these leftists being swept from power?    I'm not optimistic.   One, we don't have a united opposition.   The Republican party still contains far too many fellow-travelers who see their life's calling as working with leftists to pass legislation.    Until these thieves are banished from the temple a united front is impossible.   Second, wherever Democrats control the election machinery the near certainty of fraud obtains.   I don't doubt for a moment the determination of the leftists to corrupt the election process to maintain power.  Third, Congressional districts have become so gerrymandered to protect incumbents that many leftists are in districts from which they cannot be ousted. 

What I am certain of is this:  by 2010 the level of rage and fury at the leftist government will be at such a level that if it does not find release in the retaking of Congress there will be massive civil disobedience in this country, leading to who knows what.    Folks, I do not exaggerate: our entire form of government is at risk with Obama and the leftists in power.

Also endangering our liberty is an elected elite who hold the population they are supposed to represent in contempt.   Even worse, the populace knows the elites hold them in contempt and are returning the contempt in spades.   This is not a dynamic which can long continue; at some point the lid is going to come off.    We may be looking at a 21st century version of the French Revolution coming to pass in this country.

And to think, we've only talked about domestic policy.    While we are laying the groudwork for a civil war here, our enemies abroad are busy developing nuclear weapons and threatening our allies (Israel is an ally of the American people, not the Obama administration).  What is Mr. Obama doing?   NOTHING.    We are racing to a cliff to leap to national destruction with this administration.

I have no idea if Barack Obama was born in the USA or not.  What I do know is that by attitude, temperament and values he is no more an American than Joseph Stalin.   His ideology is as alien to the traditions and values of this country as east is from west.   Obama despises this country and more Americans are coming to see this everyday.
