A COMMON SENSE PERSPECTIVE ON AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WHERE INTEGRITY IS VALUED OVER POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
about The Inkman....
I support common sense values and ideas with the political independence to do what is right because it is the right thing to do. I appreciate that if one is truly to know the virtue of success he must have the courage to risk failure.
President Abraham Lincoln personified this ideal when he spoke these profound words:
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them,what they could and should do for themselves."
And again reinforced by the great abolitionist, Frederick Douglas, in his 1886 speech on the 24th anniversary of Emancipation, "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is in an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe".

I don't think it is a hate for Obama, per se. People are reading the bill and waking up.
I have read the bill as is proposed in the House. I don't like it. First off, it is too vague and gives too much authority to "The Commissioner" to do as he/she pleases to set up some type of program for health.
Second, our Government does not have the best track record in running programs. Look at Medicare, medicade, Social Security, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, the Post Office. They are ALL going broke and are a drain on the American tax payer,
Third, I do not trust a civil servant making decisions of life and death about me. That decision should be between me and my doctor. But wait, my doctor will be a civil servant also, won't he? I have waited in line at the DMV and don't like to wait, especially if my life depends on the wait.
Fourth, England, Canada and Germany are all having serious problems with their government run health programs. People are dying while awaiting care. This is reported in their press, including the London Times. Canadians (including their Prime Minister) are traveling to OUR Country to receive health care. From Oregon to Maine Americans travel north for their medicine prices, Canadians travel south to avoid the wait in seeing a doctor.
