		<description>I am sure that Obama is thinking he will create more dependents and more voters, but if this thing turns out as well the stimulus, he might also be creating some libertarians and conservatives.

I think that a lot of people think Obama is doing too much too fast. There is no debate. There is no understanding of what is being done and that scares people.

Obama is starting to scare people.</description>

		<description>The &quot;stimulus&quot; was never more than a welfare bonanza for leftist organizations and Hussein supporters. And the health care fraud/disaster is a cynical, criminal, ludicrous takeover of the rights and liberty of American citizens. What better path to dictatorship than control of the health/death of those you desire to enslave.</description>

		<description>Well, the Dims might not be scared but I have been scared s***less from the time I started watching him in 2004.

Sure enough...........................he has delivered the nightmare.

We elect Voices.  We elect people who are suppose to fight for the ones that sent them.  I can not name you a dozen Pugs that I would keep if I had a choice.  Why is that?  If I could throw out those bums and replace with Plumbers, I would. 

The dumb Pugs in Congress truly do not know how to fight dirty like their Dim buddies.  Right this minute, they need to take anything they can get to stop the madness.  

Why do they not DEMAND (the entire dumb group of them) the public records on Obama?  Get on TV and say their voters are demanding to see that birth certificate.  The passport.  The whole smear.  The Dims media could not ignore them if they do it as a group.  They could call them bias.  Yeah?  They could call them Whatever.  Yeah?  So????????????????  

So this does nothing for jobs, tax and trade and the healthcare suicide pact?  So?  What else are they doing about it?  That&#039;s right.  Their hands are tied.  They are the minority.  They need to get off the pot and go home if they can&#039;t find their Voice.

Obama scares me to death.  The ineffective Pug Congress makes me puke.</description>

		<description>Do you believe us now i.e. obama? He is implementing the Cloward Piven strategy(overwhelm government with giveaways)...with soros in the wings to head up the &quot;World Governance&quot;, to use Al Gore&#039;s recent phrase. Just my opinion..</description>

		<description>&quot;Who is this guy kidding? Does he think Americans are really that dumb?&quot;

You bet he does - in fact he knows it.

Unfortunately, I can&#039;t remember to whom to attribute this:

I have a story to tell my new fellow Republicans and conservatives (new, as Iâ€™m a recent convert) that illustrates how the arguments we find compelling are likely to be perceived differently by the public they â€” oops, we â€” wish to persuade.

The story comes from my father, Hubert Yockey, who has despised Communism all his life and who was educated at Berkeley in the 1930s. He had sufficient exposure to draw his conclusions at a tender age.

Soviet Communists â€” in the 1930s, I believe â€” wished to convince their workers of how downtrodden the U.S. worker was by capitalism and democracy. The Communists showed the workers newsreel footage of picketing union members and police, thinking their people would be outraged by the cops beating their fellow proles.

But they werenâ€™t. Apparently people who live in a police state accept getting beaten up by the police for any reason and no reason as ordinary, and this did not draw their attention at all.

Instead, the Communist workers saw the capitalist workers and instantly cried out: â€œThe shoes! The shoes!â€ The Commies did not have shoes, or at least not shoes of the same sturdy quality that the capitalist workers wore.

Itâ€™s going to go that way in the debate over universal health care. Defenders of the current health care system, and proponents of the Republican plan, are telling stories of delays and rationing. They are crying â€œsocialism,â€ believing that the uninsured and under insured will see things as conservatives do and reject government-run Obama care.

But I think the conservatives using this approach will be hearing a modern version of â€œThe shoes! The shoes!â€

People who have no access to health care, and people struggling without sufficient health care, will be saying, â€œyou mean soon I could have some?â€ Because when you canâ€™t afford it, you already have delays and rationing. Practically any alternative doesnâ€™t just look better, it is better.

And as a recent convert to fiscal conservatism after a lifetime as a liberal Democrat, I assure long time conservatives that the word â€œsocialismâ€ does not hold any dread for liberals. Most of them have no idea what the word means. Liberals have simply not done as much homework as conservatives have on economic theory! Worse than that, they donâ€™t believe in themselves as individuals the way conservatives do! So enough of them are sufficiently desperate that they are willing to trade the greater opportunity of capitalism, with its very real risks, for the stagnation of socialism and its false promise of security.

And it doesnâ€™t look like many liberals will realize in time how desperate Obama has made them by destroying the economy in as many different ways as he can. They will be frightened into believing â€œany port in a storm,â€ and go along with his plan to make the U.S. a socialist country.

Because if universal health care isnâ€™t another one of Obamaâ€™s trademark bait-and-switch promises, then itâ€™s one of his bait-and-hook plans.

And what about liberals who do understand what socialism means? They are the truly dangerous ones. They want the power that socialism gives to the few over the many, and they like the fact that in socialist systems it is difficult to break their grip on that power. Ironically, it seems that it is citizens of socialist countries who become truly conservative according to Obamaâ€™s definition, in the sense that they fear change and oppose it.

Being out of money, flabbergastingly in debt, poised for hyperinflation, at war in two countries, and being threatened by a third has not stopped Obama from going forward with his health care plans. The scare word of â€œsocialismâ€ holds no terror for the majority of this country because they donâ€™t understand it. The scare scenarios of delays and rationing look pretty good to the tens of millions of people who now experience a much more deadly form of delays and rationing.

If fiscal conservatives are not able to explain to people who are barefoot â€” in terms of health care â€” how the free market that hasnâ€™t gotten them shoes before will get them shoes under the Republican plan, I believe Obama and the Democrats will have very little trouble getting their plan passed.</description>

		<description>Am I the only one who finds it ironic, in a kind of sick way, that liberals who hate Wal Mart are trying to turn our healthcare system into one big Wal Mart?  Less pay, cheaper products, etc.  What, are they going to build a gigantic hospital on the battlefield at Manassas next?</description>

		<description>I find it absolutely obscene that a very few are called upon over and over again to support the wants of the many. My animosity towards this government is growing by the day. One good president that Obama and his minions has opened the door for is sweeping change. So I&#039;m thinking the sweeping change can go the other way as well, to undo things.</description>

		<description>I think it is perfectly sane: Once they pass health care, they will have a new means by which they can buy votes, just like they have used other social programs throughout the years.</description>
