The final votes in Congress on the government takeover of health care took place and passed. Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Democrats (The Progressive Party) worked hard to ram this government takeover down the throats of the America people to fundamentally transform America
From Gov. Mike Huckabee's web site:
Congress Didn't Listen To Us This Time
Will amnesty for illegals be next, or will unemployed Americans be the Democrats next great cause? SEIU is now moving on to the next issue on their agenda, immigration.
First it was Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac we had to sink billions of dollars into. Then there was the government takeover of General Motors, Chrysler and A.I.G. (all massive money pits as well). Then there were the banks. Now we own Obama-Care (a system of socialized medicine, much like they have in Canada).
This healthcare bill will also take over the student loan industry, which grants billions of dollars to the Pell Grant Program for low-income undergraduate students. How long will it be before, under Obama, most of the hospitals and universities are under government control as they are in Canada? Will this madness ever end?
And whatever happened to JOBS?
Let's just hope that Congress doesn't make their next priority giving themselves pay raises again. As it is now, they already think they're above the law.
Final Tally:
Yea - 219
Nay - 212
Just 4 people (just 4 Progressive Democrats) changed our system of government to Socialism!
Bart Stupak's votes made the difference.
Not ONE Republican voted "Yea". - So much for another broken Obama promise, when while campaigning in 2008, he had promised bipartisanship - "There are no blue states; there are no red states; there's just the United States..."
Somebody let me know if you see any tailgate parties breaking out across America...or if you see crowds of people cheering in the streets or popping champagne corks. Send me a picture and I'll post it!
But it's hasn't REALLY been about healthcare at all, has it? It's been about an ideology. And ideology that, like a theology, is about ones belief - - - such as a religious creed. You can't force an ideology or a religious faith on someone in America...that is, at least not until today.
Remember what Obama said in his interview with Bret Baier when he was asked about the "deem and pass" tactic?
For the last several years, and especially over the last year of Obama's administration, the ideology of Progressivism has be neatly wrapped up in nice words such as "diversity", "progress", "green", "tolerant", "healthcare reform", and SOCIAL JUSTICE". But what Obama and the Progressives in Congress has sold to the people of America is really a massive dose of fraud and corruption; a Socialist ideology.
Accusations were made that people FOR Obama-Care were planted among the Tea Partiers to shout racial slurs and shed them in a bad light. See "Video Debunks Lib Accusations That Slurs were Shouted"
Sunday, March 21st, 2010 - At 1:07 PM as the Tea Party protesters voiced their concerns outside of Congress, Senator Stupak faced the cameras. Obama-Care was pushed yet even closer into law with a promise made by Obama to Stupak - - - that Obama would use a ANOTHER Presidential Executive Order to "tweak" the bill to address Senator Stupak's concerns regarding abortion funding. (An order, that can be easily rescinded at any time by a variety of ways).
Or as the Republicans said, "It's not worth the piece of paper it's written on."
So, like the others before him (who had sold their souls in a bargain to the devil ), Senator Stupak sold out.
With a "promise" from Obama (a guy who's Progressive ideology believes that "the end justifies the means", and who has lied more times to the American people than I can count), Senator Stupak claimed to have stood his ground on his "principals"; but yet he still caved in to Obama's radical left-wing agenda by voting for socialized healthcare. Stupak and his followers allowed this bill to go forward.
I'm not as polite as Greta Van Susteren. I would label Senator Stupak as a traitor to this country for further advancing The Obama Plan to "fundamentally transform" this nation.

A Short Bart Stupak Bio:
* Stupak has voted with Democrats 96% of the time.
* His largest political contributers were unions (think of the SEIU) and energy companies (think of cap-and-trade).
* While in Washington, D.C., Stupak rented a room at a facility known as "The Fellowship" AKA "The Family", an organization which operates the property as a tax-exempt church and subsidized residence for several congressmen and senators. Recently Stupak moved out after a lawsuit challenged the tax favored status of the facility as a "church"; and also on the grounds that many "ordinary" church activities did not actually occur there - and due to the secretiveness of the organization.
(Like everyone in Congress, he denies this.)
And something else that wasn't mentioned: Evan Bayh
Fence-sitters, squeamish about voting YES for the healthcare bill, may have changed their minds with the sudden and unexpected 40% increase for insurance premiums in California by Anthem Blue Cross, whose parent company is WellPoint, of who's board sits Evan Bayh's wife, Susan, who has personal holdings in the stock. A U.S. House of Representatives committee questioned executives from Anthem's parent company, WellPoint Inc. of Indianapolis, about its rate hikes. What happened here? Could this "plot" have been orchestrated? I'd like to see the FBI get involved on this matter. "Do you hear me Eric Holder?"
Look for a repeal of the law in 2012-13. Obama and the Democrats would have wasted all this time (15 months) on Obama-Care (and making "history") instead of concentrating on creating a government environment for businesses to expand the job market - while millions of Americans, who were left behind, still remain unemployed.
Let the lawsuits begin - - - now we'll NEVER see an improvement in the economy so long as the Democrats remain in office.
A look at Obama's health care bill:
(My own version of a healthcare bill:"Simple Healthcare Reform for Dummies")
President Obama (the great orator) made a compelling speech yesterday for a reason to pass his healthcare bill. He raised many heart-felt (and mostly believeable) reasons. But as usual, he and his Obama-Care advocates had been playing the "sympathy card" and screaming the mantra, "45,000 people die every year in America because they lacked affordable healthcare!" (The numbers they throw around range from 18,000 to 48,000 - as though it were a real scientific consensus.)
But the truth is quite different than they proclaim, and they had just been playing on the heartstrings and conscience of the American people, to promote an agenda of government-run healthcare. But Obama's reasons may be much more personal (as for his mother), especially when it comes to brow beating the insurance companies...
"...she wasn’t sure whether insurance was going to cover the medical expenses because they might consider this a preexisting condition." See the politial ad here
Under Obama-Care his mom would most likely have received far worse care than she actually did. Reader comments
It's almost a joke that the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (the bill that was co-introduced by then-Senator Barack Obama) was bypassed when the healthcare bill was written by Democrats behind closed doors.
The healthcare bill that was just passed is only the beginning...expect the government to control every single aspect of your life if you live in the United States of America...using the absolute power of the IRS to enforce these Socialistic intrusions into your life - by madating that you MUST buy healthcare insurance, and they will begin illegally fining you through a tax that is unconstitutional. (See "Bailey vs. Drexel Furniture")
While it's agreed by everyone that "reform" was needed, this was not the way. It's a national disgrace.
Obama's and Peolos's egotistic version of "making history" might have been achieved, but not as you may have thought...and at what cost to Americans?

Obama's Progressive movement in the United States has infiltrated, not only the Congress, but many of the lower levels of government as well...Progressive underlings are waiting in the wings to fill higher positions in government as their more senior Progressive "brothers and sisters" either move up the ladder, or fall off. Think of a Hydra: Every time you cut off a head, two more grow back (Or the futility of engaging in a war of attrition with China).
The Democratic Party has been especially vulnerable to the Progressive's infiltration (some say "hijacked") as can be witnessed by the current political events, and the corrupted processes being used to pass questionable legislation (i.e. H.R. 3200, etc.)
Congressional Progressive Caucus
"Organized around the principles of social and economic justice."
The "Progressives" Divided America

The Progressives within the Democratic Party need to keep replacing their fallen "comrades" (as they will, in the coming *November congressional elections) and like ACORN, they will use the U.S. Census as but one tool in 2010 for accomplishing their goals and promoting their Socialist agenda.
*That's why it's become necessary to eradicate ALL Democrats from ANY power in government (the good, the bad, and the ugly), because the Democratic Party has become far too infested with this twisted Progressive ideology. Conservatives (Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans alike) need to clean house and promote others down the ranks to extract the Progressive cancer from deep within, and replace them with people who hold the basic core values of American exceptionalism and better cohesion to the U.S. Constitution...respecting the rights of "the people" and of the states. And after the 2012 presidential election (when a Conservative wins), all of Obama's politically appointed officials (cabinet members, czars, administrative heads, and diplomats) and almost all new hires in the White House's more senior positions, should be fired as well.
Believer in American Exceptionalism?

The U.S. Census and Illegal Immigration May Also have Allowed Obama-Care to Pass
A census is required by the U.S. Constitution to take place every 10 years in The United States and Puerto Rico. The data is used for both legitimate and some very controversial reasons. The U.S. Census Bureau is now hiring (Bilingual speakers are encouraged to apply).
The census counts every single resident (man, woman, child - both legal and illegal residents alike - as "equals"). That's why households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents will receive a bilingual census form (No comprende English?).
Sarcasm: Maybe, at the same time, the Census people could also mail them a Spanish version of the U.S. Constitution - The Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence. This would be very beneficial to them also because:
1) After filling out their immigration forms and obtaining a Green Card, when they EVENTUALLY fill out their application to become a "legal" U.S. citizen, they will be better prepared.
2) They would learn that by being counted as Spanish-speaking immigrants (whether legal of not) the census data collected from them will be used to help them, by apportioning "fair" electoral representation to their districts...thus giving them more political power in the U.S. political system.
Some argue that immigrants (both legal and illegal) should FIRST learn English - before filling out their immigration forms and obtaining a Green Card, and then becoming a legal U.S. citizen before being able to be counted in a United States' Constitutionally required census (in that exact order).
As I write this right now, Hispanics are taking to the streets in large numbers, protesting and demanding "IMMIGRATIOM REFORM" (to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants) and pushing for the Democrats to take up this issue next...NOT JOBS!
Obama's Immigration Policy: Not "Reform" - Just More Amnesty
In the last presidential election Obama won with help from the Hispanics (73% of legally registered Hispanic voters voted for him). Most Hispanic have been strong supporters of the Democratic Party because they commonly favor their liberal views on immigration policies (both illegal and legal), increasing their demographics and political power...winning yet more, legislation that is more favorable to them (i.e. amnesty, etc).
(See: How Obama Won the Presidency in 2008 - and Why)
Both sides of this issue (DEMS and GOP alike) are in contention regarding immigration reform. Because of the financial drain on America - illegal immigrants have been a monkey on the backs of hard-working U.S. taxpayers for many years. The new healthcare bill will insure millions of illegal immigrants at an even greater expense to the already burdened American people.
It was the Progressives, who now control the Democratic party, who made Obama-Care possible...and with the help of Spanish-speaking people, who have been continually immigrating to this country (and dividing and multiplying and growing in numbers by the day).
The Progressives have already infiltrated corporate America by using "Diversity Policies" as a tool for hiring practices that promotes reverse discrimination against the majority of the demographics in the work-force, hiring a disproportionate amount of "ethnic minorities" of the actual population base. (See my other post on the "Green Agenda" of Obama, using Cap-and-Trade to "fundamentally transform America".)
By the year 2050, it is estimated that Euro-Americans will only be 49% of the population in the United States - and be a minority for the first time ever in American history. (Part of the Obama Plan?) Spanish-speaking electoral representatives in America would then be a majority, and control the votes. (Mexico reclaiming their lost territories?)
and the Progressives would love it!
And "Cinco de Mayo" will become a "National Pan-Amerikan Holiday".
Unless...
New York Times - November 3, 2010

It's not over for the GREAT HEALTHCARE DEBATE...expect years of litigation and Constitutional challenges...and maybe more lost jobs in the meanwhile. Only the lawyers will benefit, especially the trial layers, as there's no TORT reform either...and as usual, only WE will suffer.
I hope Nancy Pelosi's freaky little psychedelic "itsy-bitsy" spider bites her in her fat lying ass!
