AGK: America’s Gotta Know

Here’s a WorldNetDaily article which chronicles an example of the rationing threat posed by any government run healthcare system, including the one currently actively being pursued in the U.S. Congress…

America is back, baby!

January 19, 2010, in this man’s humble opinion, will go down in the annals of American history as a significant milestone for the republic and all for which it stands as established by our founding fathers and the U.S. Constitution. The beginning of the end of the progressive, socialist, big government movement being made by the Obama Administration and this Congress and the start of the resurgence of the real America, entrenched in the values of small government and personal responsibility bestowed upon us by our founders.

Last night, Massachusetts, a perennial hotbed of liberal ideals, voted against big government in favor of the conservative Republican. In the special election to fill recently deceased Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, Republican Scott Brown delivered a crushing defeat to Democrat Martha Coakley, 52% to 47%, equating to a margin of about 120,000 votes. This extremely unlikely result (Martha Coakley had an over 20% lead in the polls on December 19, at which time she decided it was OK for her to take a 2 week Christmas break from public appearances) should have any intelligent congressman reeling, particularly the Democrats who are masquerading as Obama-Pelosi-Reed lap dogs.

The ramifications and reasoning are astounding:

America has spoken loudly through Massachusetts. This is a microcosm of the Tea Party sentiment which has been being conveyed across this great land since the inception of the Obama Administration and its extreme left Democrat controlled Congress last January. If such an election result can occur in this predominantly liberal minded state (Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 and Obama won by 27% in the 2008 Presidential election), what’s going to happen in all the critical Congressional elections which will occur later this year in November? Democrats who value their jobs will definitely be rethinking their votes.

The Democrats have now lost their filibuster proof majority of 60 in the Senate. If NOT ONE Republican votes for a bill, then it cannot pass. This, for all intensive purposes, should shutdown the healthcare bill anywhere close to its current socialist form, the cap & trade bill, and the future anticipated immigration amnesty bill. If passed, this trifecta of reforms would have senselessly crippled our economy for decades and would have passed on the check to our children and theirs.

In exit polls, the overwhelming majority of voters identified the reason for their vote was the current healthcare bill. The disapproval with this bill by the huge majority of Americans is monumental and the disregard of this opinion by Congressional Democrats is staggering to say the least and unethical & even criminal to say the most. Nearly 75% of undecided party voters cast their ballot in favor of the Republican, whose simple conservative platform was small government, personal responsibility and strong defense.

Embedded in this remarkable story line are incredible ironies surrounding Ted Kennedy. Ted, the man who waited his life for a single payer government controlled healthcare system to be passed, stood on the precipice of seeing it to fruition at the time of his death in August 2009. Now, as a result of his death, this special election was held to fill the seat that he held for 47 years and that seat is taken by a conservative Republican who vows to vote against the very healthcare bill that Ted Kennedy endorsed. That’s not it, though. The true irony is the fact that Ted Kennedy’s sincere desire to provide at a cost palatable to the average American, the same outstanding healthcare that enabled him to overcome for so long the cancer to which he eventually succombed, has a much better chance of coming to fruition with the defeat of this travesty of a healthcare bill which, in reality, has nothing to do with healthcare and everything to do with government control. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t recognize that when he had the opportunity to influence it.

Heresay has it that the Democrat machine is working on a plan to procedurally delay the approval of Scott Brown into the Senate. This is an absolute no win for them. If they proceed with such a tactic, they will be villified by mainstream America in a way which will dwarf what they’ve seen so far. If they don’t do this, however, they will in all probability lose their precious healthcare bill, an effort that has already been openly acknowledged by the majority leadership will sacrifice the Democrat majority in both houses come November. Hey, you Democrat in Congress: it sure sucks to be you!

This is a great day to be an American! However, after the smoke clears on this monumental victory, the hard work to reverse the current progressive, socialist direction and stabilize the republic, truly begins. Do NOT get complacent!
