I’ve heard a lot of talk about “heavy lifting” coming from the democratic camp.  Undoubtedly this is the mantra used to support Barrack Obama’s approach toward governing. 

When one considers how political talking points are carefully choreographed it seems odd that the current president’s continued use of the term “heavy lifting” sends an unintended message. When I think about the left’s bent toward wealth redistribution along with the creation of an ever increasing class of government dependent citizens it reminds me of a pick pocket.  We are continually told how “hard decisions” must be made.  The decisions I see coming  from the current regime in Washington to take from those who work and give to those who do not is anything  but difficult.

Instead of helping create jobs for the unemployed the current administration is busily destroying the American dream for future generations.  They use deceptive  metaphors in an attempt to make their idea of government control more palatable for the masses.  Fortunately the majority of American citizens are not as ignorant as many in government believe them to be.   Americans have spoken overwhelmingly against the government takeover of healthcare yet their government ignores their concerns. 

Borrowing from and painting a very different picture than the original idea used to describe the need to clean ones house I have coined a new metaphor.  You’ve heard the term “spring cleaning” how about a “fall flushing.”  As you can see, the picture I intend to paint in your mind is very clear.   If our representatives in government cannot find the courage to follow the rule of law then we must discard them. Just imagine as you go into the voting booth in Novemebr that the button you push is the handle on a toilet.

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.
