Illustration: Misc. from the Web. An appropriate alternative to Obamacare ?
It seemed as though
the movie, Groundhog Day returned to
theaters last week when some among the more daring news sources dug out an
old sound bite of Hillary Clinton discussing "Hillarycare," the
ancestor to "Obamacare." And
what did the queen-by-association of Benghazi promise years ago? If you like your doctor, you can keep your
doctor. If you like your insurance
company, you can keep your insurance company.
Deja vu for you
There can be
little doubt that thousands of pages of health care legislation began their
journey decades ago, scripted in a single version for the progressive
Democrat-of-the-moment. Hillary then,
Obama now. Next? Republican progressives?
Initially, major
insurance companies lapped Obamacare up like mother’s milk, planning on
millions of customers and mega-millions of dollars. Not happening at the moment. Sign-ups are successful, however – well, if
signing up for state taxpayer-funded Medicaid can be considered a success.
You young folk
who still cling to the cool, youthful, he's just like me image of Obama
-- while the "Common Core" agenda-driven education system infiltrates
and progressively alters the thinking brain cells of your brothers and sisters,
with more than a little help from financial "contributions" from
Microsoft and etc. -- need to experience a wake-up shock and realize that
you're the poor bastards expected to pay big time for the mess currently known
as Obamacare. But now that this
power-grabbing calamity is breaking apart upon the rocks of common sense,
clearer minds can only hope that the health care system becomes funded instead
by intensive American competition across state lines. The way this country is supposed to
function. Of course, help those who need
help, but let the rest pay reasonable insurance rates and not the monster
prices lurking just over Obama's increasingly troubled horizon.
Somehow predictable,
it seems, to now find Senator John McCain calling for repeal of Obamacare, when he was among the first just a
few weeks ago to condemn with some very unkind words Senator Ted Cruz's plea
and filibuster intended to de-fund this mess.
Six words for you in 2016, Republicans:
Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul.
More than likely, however, the GOP will strive to choose another losing
candidate, and uninformed voters with nothing better to do than relieve the
boredom of their lives by diverting their attention to polling places, just to
get out of the house, clueless about anything but familiar names on the ballot,
will continue to return the worst of the worst to Congress.
Meanwhile, House
Democrats in interesting numbers appear to be abandoning the hard-line
Obamacare love boat like -- we'll be kind and say lemmings -- deserting
a sinking ship. Isn't that fascinating,
considering that House votes for this obvious Hindenberg disaster plan
were 100 percent Democrat, period, end of story?
Meningitis at Princeton
U. A rare form, you say, Meningitis-B? May I suggest -- isn't globalization
wonderful? We bring in or, worse,
carelessly allow in more Third World people than ever and wonder why unusual
diseases just pop up out of nowhere. It
should be abundantly clear by now that this government has aided in littering a
once-spectacular nation with immigrants, legal and illegal, who have no
intention of becoming true Americans and giving up the horrible lives from
which they supposedly escaped in other countries. Used to be when you came to America you
wanted to assimilate and become an American.
No more. Just look around at the
cesspool, as community after community begins to look more like the United
Nations gone wild. The "melting
pot" thermostat is set on boil and legal immigrants who truly
love the United States continue to rise up little by little, often anonymously
and sometimes in fear, and warn that our nation is becoming many of the bad and
oppressive things they abandoned and ran from in lands far away. And the border-jumping criminal aliens from
just about any place on the globe?
Common sense dictates that we thank them for disease and illness
previously unknown in the U.S. Did this
particular bacteria travel across borders?
We may or may never know, but its very existence and proliferation is
frightening nonetheless. Assume the
worst as a precaution.
Trouble is, when
you're young you often tend to feel like a superhero, invulnerable to attack
from anything, especially perilous diseases or Obamacare, either of
which can infect some part of your body or your bank account before you even
know it.
So, youse
intellectually deprived or deceived folks doing all that Ivy League learnin' at
Princeton -- remember to stay progressively liberal so's you can anticipate
more of the same, next time. We wish a
good and speedy recovery for the ill, but ya gotta remember that the
importation or utter disregard of invasive Third World politics and hitchhiking
organisms can be dangerous to one's health.
It's a freakin' small world after all -- and you need to fear it with
your very life.
Fantastic
plastic: Whenever NY Senator Charles Schumer runs to
the forefront to ban something, you just know much of the time that he's
spoiling somebody's day across the nation.
This time it's plastic guns, easily produced via those 3-D printers
currently exploding in popularity. For
one thing, plastic guns -- as deadly and frequently illegal as the
"real" device -- are supposed to contain a metal portion so they can
be screened by airport x-ray machines or the like, but apparently those in the
know remove all metal in advance, thus rendering the weapon invisible to
multi-million dollar technology (that is, Pac-Man's digital offspring are foiled again).
What this means
in the United States, like it or not, is that at last everybody down to a
three-year-old can now enjoy every thread of the Second Amendment and possess a
handgun (and more) in full violation of progressive laws across the land. The plastic genie is now fully out of the
lamp, and public servants (that is, people who wish for the public to serve
their whims) such as Schumer are in a tizzy, scribbling out proposed
legislation faster than Chicken Little warning that the sky is
falling.
The plastic
weapons issue is a nightmare, no doubt, but we've really reached the point
where penning legislation to halt technology in its tracks is simply a waste of
time, every bit as wasteful as continuing to keep Congress in Washington --
subject to continuous lobbyist payoffs -- when all representatives could easily
remain in their home states and telecommute, thus saving taxpayers some real
money. But Schumer, obviously unhappy
unless involved in a photo-op or regulating American lives with his progressive
buddies, perseveres like the battery bunny.
Unfortunately for the regulation-minded among us, gun production
instructions have already been downloaded from the Internet in great volume,
and that's no accident. To paraphrase
from the military -- shoot 'em if you got 'em.
Just sitting
here, wondering if I've forgotten anything today. Oh, yeah. . .
Impeach,
impeach, impeach, then prison. Guess
that's it for today. . .
