JUST SAY NO! RESIST OBAMACARE!

As Americans, we have a long and storied past of resistance to tyranny. And now, at the beginning of the 21st century, we are confronted with a monstrous piece of  legislation, which has the potential to lay west to our economy and lower the standard of living that Americans have enjoyed for generations.

As millions are losing the health insurance they were promised they could keep, the provisions of the law look even more onerous for 2014, when  health coverage provided through one's place of employment will begin to be adversely affected.  Estimates are that more than 90 million people will be affected.  In effect, the time factor will guarantee that cancellation notices go out just prior to the 2014 midterm elections.

Anyone with any sort of political savvy would recognize that Barack Hussein Obama has marked himself for political extinction. However, in the case of the president, doubts about his recognition of his own ultimate fate are in order.  Bur, judging from the increasing number of Democrats in Congress who now see the president as a liability, those in the know see the handwriting on the wall.

Marinated in leftist/Marxist thought in Ivy League settings  and stewed in the anti-Americanism of his mother and grandfather, Barack Hussein Obama has all the attributes of an ideologue.  And ideologues are well  known for clinging to their faculty lounge ideals, even as those ideals have brought them to rack and ruin.  Coupled with the thuggery of Chicago-style politics and a dearth of management experience in his resume, the president is sitting atop a gigantic potential for one of the greatest disasters in American history.  That this man would lie is now even more apparent by virtue of the "book cooking" that was done just prior to the 2012 presidential election, that showed unemployment figures in a much more favorable light than they actually were.

Yes, practicality is not one of the strong suits of this president.  If there were a practical side to the Obama administration, care would have been given to making certain that all features of the Affordable Care Act would work toward the benefit of all Americans.  Sadly, this was never the case, and ideology has trumped practicality in virtually every area of Obamacare.

A wiser man would have said, " Whoa, wait a minute!  This thing needs some work.  Let's get all factions in Congress to put aside their differences, put our heads together, and work for the American people!"  But, no, that was never the case, and the desire to ram through disastrous change that would forever scar our country was the goal of this failed president. Now, it is much too late for any sort of non-partisan rescue mission.

Dear readers, if our elected representatives are not willing to engage in protracted and determined resistance in order to rid America of this damnable farce of a law, then we must take it upon ourselves to resist.  Be assured that I would never counsel an uprising that was anything but peaceful, but passive resistance, in the manner of Mahatma Gandhi, may be our only recourse.  Are you willing to take to the streets and not cooperate with a government that, with every passing day, becomes more and more oppressive?  The time is now.  We are the answer, not an incompetent government that is bent on saddling us with a law that will condemn future generations to penury and ruin.

Deo vindice!

God bless Texas, and may the Lone Star State remain forever red!
