A Letter To The Editor

One question we've all had on our minds.. what is the big rush with getting this "healthcare" bill passed? Why are Obama and the dems, particularly Reid/Pelosi so adamant and determined to jam this thing through by Thanksgiving (how ironic..)?

Is this to fix a system that is so badly broken that it's on the edge of collapse, as they would have us believe (thereby creating the necessary 'Rahm Emanuel crisis', and the excuse to go radical)?

I think the whole thing boils down to this-- the 1000+ pages of healthcare proposals put forth thus far by the dems (written secretly in back rooms with everybody but the highest-level dems locked out), along with the cap-and-tax proposals already passed hurriedly by the House contain most of the clauses and legalese needed for a transfer of much of the government's power and authority to the White House.

This isn't so much about healthcare. It's about taking over the government.

The original plan of releasing a bill too big to read before it was jammed through almost worked, but they failed to consider that even some of their own would balk at such an obvious attempt. And, fortunately, we the people awakened, and secured enough of a delay to read the thing and see what it actually said (detailed by the Indianapolis physician's letter you posted a few days ago..)

So now, they're in the corner, with the clock ticking.

One problem is that the 2010 election is coming up soon. They know if they don't jam this thing through quickly, the chances of getting it done are greatly diminished with members rushing to get back to their districts to try to save their jobs.

I think there may be a second reason they want to get this in place quickly-- they see that the election is not going to go well for them, and if the right tools are in place, they can provoke the opposition and create a situation where they can declare martial law (though they will dress it up a little-- calling it a National Emergency, an Homeland Security Emergency or whatever..) and take full control of the government.

Creating the disaster that they can/will use to take control is already well underway. The debt load is causing tremendous anxiety in world markets, countries are dumping their US currency reserves, and the value of the dollar has been in free-fall. Our economic fate is largely in China's hands, and they're looking for their exit strategy.

I look for the radical left to boldly force this legislation through (as they've hinted) through parliamentary tricks. At this point, I don't think they care whether that makes us mad or not-- they plan to charge ahead full speed.

Such a plan has a chance of achieving both of their goals.

If they succeed in passing it, they have many of their tools.

If they provoke the opposition into "intensely resisting" them, it may generate the situation they seek to use their tools.

Tension on Capitol Hill is rising quickly:

“If Democrats use controversial insider tactics to force a proposal that the majority of Americans disagree with, not only would they guarantee bipartisan opposition, but they would also spark a new level of outrage among a huge majority of people in this country," said a Senate Republican leadership aide.

No matter how it goes, this is a pivotal point in our history. It may be tempting to give up in frustration, but truth (and certainly the Constitution) are on our side.

Begin preparations now for 2010-- this next election will determine the fate of the United States. For the sake of our children, we must not fail.
