Who’s Excited About Death Panels??!?!!?

I awoke this fine Indiana morning (visiting family for Christmas) to find a beautiful pre Christmas snowfall cascading down from the heavens. Ahhh, nothing says Christmas like good food, family, snow, and death panels! Wait….DEATH PANELS??? WHAT???

After I was finally able to pry my eyelids open I got on the computer to get my daily fix of bad news. Lo and behold I was not at all disappointed (or shocked) to see that so called “conservative” Democrat Big Ben Nelson has reportedly caved in and decided to vote yes on the Senate health care bill. Gee, another Senator without a spine. Who would’ve thought?

I hope America is excited about all the perks of socialized medicine, such as rationing, death panels, and ridiculously long waits for treatment. If this bill passes and it is shaping up to look like an almost guaranteed deal, it will overload the system in time, and will lead to the above mentioned “benefits” of government run health care.

I think Congress needs to take a refresher course on the U.S. Constitution. It is a violation of the rights of the American people to try to force us to buy health care. Health care is NOT a right. It is a privilege. The same as driving. If I want to drive I have to buy car insurance. But I don’t HAVE to drive. I can take public transportation if I want. It’s my choice. Driving is not a guaranteed right in the Constitution and neither is health care. If I have the money in my fat bank roll to pay for my medical care straight out of pocket, why should I be forced to purchase something I don’t need?

Another thing that seems strange to me is how much has been cut from the bill originally. The public option is out and many other pieces of legislation the Dems originally wanted to be part of the health care package. These cuts were made so that this bill could be shoved through Congress as fast as possible. If this bill is failing to meet the vision of the liberals then why such a rush to push it through? Good question eh? The bottom line is that this bill will give the government more power and more say in the lives and choices of American citizens. Nothing makes a socialist, fascist liberal more happy than having more power!

But I guess we need to cut Senator Nelson a little slack. It’s not his fault he’s being strong armed by the Obama administration (who knew Al Capone would be president) into giving a yes vote to government run health care. According to the Weekly Standard the White House once again used thug tactics of intimidation to force their will upon the masses by threatening to shut down a very important air force base. This base, which is located in Nebraska is a huge part of their economy and would result in the loss of 10,000 jobs. Got to love the “Chicago Way” of doing politics. Poor Nelson, no wonder he gave in.

I plead with the people of Nebraska to blow up your Senator’s phone line and demand that he vote no to this insane health care bill regardless of the consequences. Demand that he grow a spine and stand up for what is right and heed the voice of the American people. Let’s send Washington a message. Let’s tell them that their acts of thuggery will not be tolerated in this country. We need to wake up, take a stand and remind our out of control government they work for us. Listen up Washington! If you do not heed the voice and will of the people YOU WILL BE OUT OF A JOB! God bless America!
