Apparently, the idea that all Americans should have access to health care is deeply un-American (see: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2... ). Some comments:

I think people are way behind. I don’t think they plan on ever leaving office, because we will be under dictatorship.

How often are we seeing news from other countries? Hardly any. How about what’s happening in the rest of the states next to you? Or across the country?

People are starved for news because we are not getting it. we get the same fluff stories over and over and over, every day...

Do we really understand the tipping point to start the American Revolution against England? What were those circumstances and how similar are they likely to be in the near future?
People wrongly assume that we live in a democracy, but we live in a representative democracy. Once we elect our representative, they are free to destroy us, punishable only by being thrown out of office after the fact.

They do not need to listen to us if they think their goals are more important than what the people want.

What would have to occur before the public became violent, on either side? What right will be the last straw when taken away.

Who will be the leaders to lead from the front?

If HR 3200 or any of its operative parts are passed in disregard of the US publics denial of it, one can easily predict what happens next. S. 31 of HR 3200 is particularly egregious, as it vilates IRS privacy law, and allows for a medical fee scale based on income, not on services rendered, and opens the door for the IRS information to be used in the collection of unpaid medical bills ( redistribution of wealth through medical bills)
There will be the increased radicalization of Obama's opposition,with violence and death ensuing, which is what happens when the will of the people is disregarded by elected representatives.

People will refuse to obey the law.Or have anything to do with it.

THe violence will reach a crescendo around the elections of 2010.

And the style and manner that Obama exhibited in Kenya, 2006/2007, which resulted in inter-tribal genocide, will seize America by its throat.

We do not have a government running our nation. We have an Obama Junta. We should not lose sight of that fact.

With every day I feel we get closer to the end of these United States. Even though I live in Texas, it is in the Left corner, and I mean left. If texas goes it alone, there is nothing to stop the leftist creeps here. I think we will be at their mercy. It is not a great thing to contemplate. The thugs from Juarez would swarm to take over here. I do not have enough firepower for that! I don’t know what to think?

Got Czars?
All the evidence points to the fact that we are already living under a dictatorship. The politicians are not staking their careers on some hope that we will be under a dictatorship in the future, they realize that we are already there, and that is the reason for their unbridled hutzpah. After all, what is an elected government that denies the people what they want and simply tells them what will be? It is Russia, it is Venezuela, it is Mexico, it is Iran, it is.... America. "Freedom" in our times is an illusion.

Our country is like a bear who is starving to death but isn't feeling it yet due to an abundance of past eating and stored fat. We are living off that 'stored fat'. We are sailing on the momentum of our previous wealth and freedoms but it cannot last. We have, I believe, already been dealt the death blow of dictatorship by the godless, gutless, self-serving DC scum.

I'M afraid they are NOT worried about their careers because they also have another nuclear option to enact just before the election.

I have never seen them to so disregard what the public reaction will be to what they do. It worries me that they know they will continue in power - a nice little national emergency that required Martial Law would shut down any election...

WE can't get our heads around such a scenario, but we've seen enough by now to WAKE UP to who and what we are dealing with.

Think they wouldn't do it? It's been done countless times by just such tyrants down through history. We'd better not put all our eggs in the Nov 2010 basket. It may be too late by then.

We must fight NOW - each and every day.

SILENT NO MORE

Bush: Getting crazier
This radio address shows, as much as anything, just how out of touch with reality he has become:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...800...

On the eve of the third anniversary of the Iraq invasion, President Bush today promised to "finish the mission" with total victory, urging the American public to remain steadfast but offering no indication when victory might be achieved.

"More fighting and sacrifice will be required," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "For some, the temptation to retreat and abandon our commitments is strong. Yet there is no peace, there's no honor and there's no security in retreat. So America will not abandon Iraq to the terrorists who want to attack us again."

Bush's address comes at a time when confidence in the administration's Iraq strategy appears to have reached all-time lows. A Washington Post-ABC News poll this month found that 65 percent of Americans surveyed thought Bush had no plan for victory, while 35 percent -- the lowest level ever recorded by the poll -- said he did.
