How liberty dies with thunderous applause.
Glenn Beck explained on the air today how Barack Obama and liberals like him are setting out to fundamentally change the United States of America:
- Build a structure. - For example, Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to remake one seventh of our economy, the health care system.
- Make it complex. - The health care bill is splashing around the 2,000 page mark. How many legislators are actually going to read the whole thing before voting on it?
- Avoid debate. - Democrats are scrambling to find 60 votes for the bill so Republicans who have legitimate concerns about what they're about to do won't be able to have any debate on what's in it. So much for "bipartisanship."
- Move quickly. - That's all we hear from Obama and the Congressional leadership, "This can't wait any longer." Undue haste cannot make for good legislation.
In order to do that, they have four strategies:
- Indoctrinate. - Continually tell people that health care is a right, and that health insurance companies are the enemy.
- Bribe. - Senator Ben Nelson, are you listening? Political favors are being granted to more than just him, though. Scary.
- Silence or shout down the opposition. - Al Franken, are you listening? Speaking as a citizen, I object to your objection.
- Destroy. - Liberals don't really care about the Constitution, the democratic process, or honesty. Their policies will destroy this country, so why are so many people in favor of it?
Star Parker puts it beautifully in her column: "
America's unique success comes from freedom and limited government. Government's responsibilities are laid out clearly in our Constitution, which we choose to ignore.
"National security is a job of government. Designing health-insurance policies and forcing private citizens to buy them, running car companies, bailing out banks and subsidiziing homeowners who can't pay their mortgages, is not."
