What’s Really Behind the ‘Healthscare’ Debate?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

 

It’s past time for America to stop and take a deep breath, a few steps back, and think. As we listen to the politicians decry, “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” (with regard to our current healthcare situation) we should ask ourselves, “Is this the true reality?” When we speak with our neighbors and friends do we see millions dying needlessly for lack of healthcare? Although the current systems which serve us are in need of some adjustment those adjustments do not warrant such massive government intrusion.

We need to be very careful, as we pause to review the true realities, to reflect upon the fact that every existing government run program is costly, inefficient, and inundated with fraud. This being the case why would so many (politicians) be so quick to attempt to orchestrate a government takeover in an area where failure would be life threatening to so many?

Just think with me for a moment about the fact that when the current bill was drafted–even before it had been read by most of our representatives–we were told, “It must be passed quickly!” Those among us who were and are asking for adequate time to review not only the bill, but the true reality of what the needs are, were vilified in a blatant attempt to silence the voice of reason.

My concern is that what is really going on here is an attempt to create yet another massive block of government-dependent citizens who will be subjected to the manipulation of this political football. Much like social security, Medicaid, and Medicare, which are routinely politicized during the course of each and every election cycle, to strike fear into the hearts and minds of those voters who are dependent upon these programs. So what is truly behind the ‘national healthscare initiative?’ I submit to you that the rush to implement this program has nothing to do with a genuine care for the people of this nation.

The vision of the Great American Experiment was not, and is not, a people dependent upon government. Instead, it’s about an independent people free to choose their direction in life. We the people must understand that, if we are to remain free, we must recognize that government control and independence are diametrically opposed to one another.

The Price of Change

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

 As we rapidly approach the upcoming election it would do us well to reflect on what the democratic/socialist party is saying. 

The change mantra sounds strangely familiar… could it be?  Yes, I believe it is the same chant that ushered in Bill Clinton.  What was the first change he made after being sworn into office?   In an attempt to undermine our military he and his co-conspiritors concocted the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy.  I remember how disrespectfully Mr. Clinton treated his challengers during the presidential debates.  Civility was cast to the wind by people who deliberately set themselves to destroy the moral underpinnings of our civilization. 

Ask yourself, why would the so called ‘free choice’ crowd deny children the right to pray in school?  Or allow teachers the option to teach the moral standards that guided us as a people for decades?  It’s not enough for these radical people to practice their debauchery they insist on having the right to teach your children every perversion imaginable. 

As if these things weren’t bad enough they allowed the legalization of infanticide.  Of course the convenient wording used to cloud this issue is called partial-birth abortion.  These are examples of change that have and will continue to be detrimental to our nation’s survival unless we change direction.  We have all heard the polls that tell us Americans believe our nation is headed in the wrong direction.  It’s time to ask ourselves a sobering question, are we headed in the wrong direction because we have turned our backs on God?
