Yes, I have a thought

Yes, I have a thought. Actually, many thoughts, regarding the "Health Care" fiasco. (Just in case you were wondering since it's taken me this long to post... campaigns, you know, are busy events and leave little time for blogging... fyi.)

To be honest, I am one of the few who always thought this bill would pass. Our President may not be many things, but one thing he is, is very, very smart. (Smart in the sense of clever, crafty, and liberalistically intelligent, that is.)

Whenever I was asked if I thought the bill would pass, I would respond, "Yes, I do." Inevitably, I would get a shocked look and, "Well, if it passes, there will be a revolt!" Or, "It can't pass, there'll be murder in the streets!"

Well, the bill has passed. There hasn't been murder in the streets (unless I've been more news sheltered than I thought), but there is a revolution underway.

And there must be a revolution. I believe we still live in the greatest nation on earth. Yes, even with the health care bill.

That said, however, if we hope to remain the greatest nation on earth, this bill must be repealed and/or thrown out via the Supreme Court. (As it is completely un-Constitutional, I personally believe we have a better shot at destroying this thing via the courts than by the Congress.)

I think of it this way. We, conservatives, have witnessed liberty on life support for years. We have fought tirelessly to keep our liberty on that support.

Now, the plug has been pulled. Liberty is no longer on life support. With the passage of "Health Care," we have been left to ourselves, and the only way we will survive is by fighting with every breath for our very life.

We must vote. We must exercise our right to free speech. We must talk to our friends, family, and neighbors. We must get involved.

There is no choice. We fight or liberty dies.

Yesterday it was reported that more than 75 Maryland doctors chose to retire early rather than face the wonders of our socialized medical system.
To put that in perspective, according to Hospital-Data.com, two of Central Pennsylvania's most prominent hospitals have a combined total of 65 practicing physicians. (Holy Spirit = 22, Harrisburg = 43 [not including those in residency]).

Let me repeat, yesterday, more than 75 Maryland doctors (enough to staff two entire Central PA hospitals), retired early rather than work under Obamacare.

Have you ever stood facing our flag with your hand over your heart and said the Pledge of Allegiance? In doing so, you pledged your allegiance to our Republic, with liberty and justice for all.

This bill is directly opposed to liberty and justice for all. Thus, it also stands in direct opposition to our Republic.

For the first time in our history, Americans will be forced by our federal government to lay aside our personal beliefs and comply with an angenda. Those who do not comply will be fined, imprisoned, or both. This is not liberty, nor is it just... but I guess it would explain the early retirement of enough Doctors to staff two hospitals.

On another note, I don't know that I have ever been more proud to call myself a Republican. Not a single Republican voted for this freedom-stripping bill. Not one. Yet, we must ensure that our Republican leaders continue to live by true Republican principles. If they will waver, they, along with every Democrat in Congress, must be voted out of office this November.

But before November comes May. In Pennsylvania, May 18th is our primary election. The primaries give us an opportunity to ensure we have CONSERVATIVE Republicans on the ballot in November.

Because we live in a Republic, we have the ability, freedom, right, and RESPONSIBILITY to vote. Exercise your right, do your duty. Vote on May 18th.

Fight for your country, conservatives. Otherwise, you will lose her forever.
