The Great American Con Job and the “Trojan Horse Bill”By: J. D. Longstreet
************************
As I thought about a title for this commentary one continued to crash through into my “consciousness.” It was/is the title you see above. Nothing else would describe, in a few words, what I had on my mind.
A Con Job is a confidence game. It is, in fact, a heist pulled off by first gaining the confidence of the “mark”. The ”Mark” is the person or entity, which is the target of the heist. The Mark has something the con artist desires to steal. Understand that a con job is, more often than not, a robbery.
As I watch, read, and listen to, and about, the Obama Administration’s confidence game being run on the American people it infuriates me! It also saddens me. Why sad? Because I truly thought the American people had better sense than to elect a man who was so obviously not who he said he was. But, I was wrong!
We have said the election of Obama was a victory for American ignorance. I still believe that and as each day passes, I am being proven right.
As the Obama Administration races to the Left into the waiting embrace of pure, raw, socialism we Americans find that we are no longer in control of our government. 53% of the American electorate simply did away with America as a democracy and replaced it with a Socialist Central Government.
As Obama goes about the country, scaring the living daylights out of the less intelligent Americans among us, he is pushing the so-called “Stimulus Bill.” It is a TROJAN HORSE BILL! Because hidden inside Obama’s Trojan Horse Bill are a number of items, which will take, more and more of our freedom away. There are additional programs intended to insure that more and more Americans find they must depend upon the government just to survive.
Hidden deep inside the Trojan Horse Bill are programs that will prepare the way for Universal Insurance coverage and worse. Betsy McCaughey has written a piece for Bloomberg.com titled: “Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan.” In it she says: “The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.
One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions. … Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties.”
You need to read this article in its entirety. You’ll find it HERE.
So we have a “clearing house” set up by the federal government for treatments prescribed by YOUR doctor for YOU! The doctor diagnoses your problem and decides upon a plan of action to treat whatever ails you, but then… he must get clearance from the federal government, from the office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology BEFORE he can go forward with that treatment. H.I.T. might decide there is a less expensive way to treat you than the way your doctor has chosen. Such things as your age will weigh in H.I.T.’s decision as to whether to treat you at all. If your life expectance is somewhat short, why waste the taxpayer’s money? Just let Nature take its course. Of course, that might lead to your death, but hey, it is saving the taxpayer’s money… right?
There is so much more in the Trojan Horse Bill that you and I will never see, and never hear about, before it is passed into law. THAT is the REAL reason for the haste with which it is being rammed through the Congress.
The people of America ought to be hanging their heads in utter shame at having elected Obama to the Presidency and turning over power over the daily lives of the people of this country to that merry band of socialist bandits who now populate what used to be OUR Congress!
You know, nothing is so stupid looking as a stupid person so arrogant he thinks he is the smartest person in the room. We’ve all seen it in other people. That is the image the American people are portraying to the rest of the world today.
We are so stupid we lost control of our government. We are so dumb, we have lost our country, and we are so arrogant we actually believe we are doing the right thing by trading democracy for socialism.
So, what’s next? That’s an easy question. The break-up of the country is “what’s next”! It cannot be avoided.
America is split right down the middle and we all know that a nation divided cannot stand. The United States of America might still exist but it will not be a 50 state entity.
As things continueto worsen in America, over the next few years, remknd yourselves that we… yes… WE Americans did this to ourselves! As the last pockets of democracy are squeezed to death by the avalanche off socialism just remember… we did it to ourselves.
As states begin to reassert themselves and declre their independemnce from the US… remember, we did it to ourselves.
And when the final chapter is written in the history bpoks about the death od America be sure it states cause of death: suicide.

we Americans find that we are no longer in control of our government...and this is just after a couple of weeks!!
ReplyDeleteMore to the point than,
ReplyDelete"the American electorate simply did away with America as a democracy",
the American public exercised the very principles of "democracy".
Democracy can best be described as two lions and one lamb voting on what's for lunch.
Our founding documents, The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution do not contain the word democracy.....at all..anywhere. The founding fathers had a very low opinion of democracies. In that historic time a democrat was defined as "one who panders to the ignorant masses".
