The Bill Passed….Now What?

Sunday night we saw the final version of the Democrat’s version of Health Care Reform pass the House, and now the President will sign it into law sometime this week. We fought hard, but we lost the battle. We learned a few things as well. First we learned that there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat. Democrats like Bart Stupak and his so called pro-life constituents in Congress voted for this bill (which will provide taxpayer funded abortions), after promising that they wouldn’t vote for anything that supported taxpayer funded abortion. Their excuse is that the President will amend this bill with an executive order, something that he does not have the authority to do. By the way, executive orders are themselves a violation of the constitution, but that is a subject for another day. The point is that we have seen the corruption present in the Democratic majority (not that the Republican minority is much better, because it is not). It is becoming more and more apparent to more Americans that the leaders that they elected are frauds. They do not stand for the ideals that they say they stand for, and the mask is coming off. They are becoming more and more bold in their assault on our country. It is now time for us to take the next step in our defense of this nation. We must vote them out of office in November, and we must replace them with long overdue servants who will make the tough and politically incorrect decisions that will turn our country around. We must start keeping our politicians accountable by voting them out when they don’t do exactly what we want them to do. Furthermore, we must be extremely careful when replacing our nation’s leaders. Too often we have allowed ourselves to be tricked by candidates who promise us change, and we don’t take the time to make sure we know exactly what kind of change they advocate. This is exactly what happened for those who supported former Senator Obama when he was running for President. He promised them change, and boy did they get change.

Lastly, we must remember the words of Winston Churchill, who said: “Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it”. We must know our history, and we must learn from it. History has shown us time and time again that socialism does not work. Yet we elected President Obama, and now he has succeeded in passing into law a government takeover of our health care system and 1/6th of the economy. 1/6th! We must learn from history. If we do not, then we will surely fail.
