Any good parent, or teacher, will tell you that repetition is one of the best teaching tools at our disposal when it comes to getting children to learn something. This process also works on adults. Hearing something repeated often enough would undoubtedly embed whatever it is that is being said into our thick little skulls. For example, this simple repeat strategy is why everyone between the ages of forty to sixty can immediately join in singing, “There she was just a walkin’ down the street singin’ do wa ditty, ditty dum ditty do.”

I know, its not very intellectual, but you get the point.

The trouble with this repetitive technique is that if you repeat something too often then although whatever it is you’re trying to teach someone will be hammered into their brain pans, but it will also get to be boring, irrelevant and well, down right annoying. That of course is why Number One Hits on our radios soon become Golden Oldies and end up in the bargain bin.

This repetitive technique is so successful that propagandists also employ it. However, in their use they also understand that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. As in insisting that the public option will not kill off private health insurance.

With this in mind we can now understand why we are being repeatedly told by our Liberal Congress, media and your socialist president that no matter how the American people may feel about it, national health care is gloriously on its way, just like Christmas and Santa Claus. In fact we can’t turn on the news, unless it is Fox, without seeing a bunch of idiotic smiling Congressional thugs or their liberal media puppets gleefully telling us about this soon to be monumental moment that we Americans are about to witness in the passing of this furthering of our economic enslavement… ah, I mean, magnificent health care bill, or how splendidly beneficial it will be to all of us. As far as this liberal Congress, their boot kissing media and your socialist president are concerned we should all be sitting around anxiously awaiting the passing of this unconstitutional crime as if it was a present from All-Mighty God Himself, or even Santa!

In further proving that these constitutional criminals honestly believe that we Americans are nothing more than children they are using this repetitive strategy to convince us that in being “given” this health care bill it will be the best thing we have received since that long ago Christmas morning when we woke up to find a new blanket of snow on the ground, Grandma and Grandpa sitting on the sofa sipping hot cocoa and that Santa had brought us that new Lionel train set, or for you ladies, the Chatty Cathy doll, which we had all so desperately wanted.

(Whew… how about that, all of that in just one sentence!)

Being treated like children would also help to explain why MSNBC hosts talk to their limited audiences like they were teaching class to mentally challenged first graders and why Rachel Maddow has a cartoon character of a Congressional bill constantly in the background. What a putz.

But what these false Wise Men don’t tell us is that unlike those long ago childhood gifts, we’re all going to have to pay for their “gift” of socialized, national health care ourselves, and I mean pay through the nose. If you all think that you have suffered through the nightmare hangover of Christmas spending regret before, just wait until this health care lump of coal hits the bottom of your stocking and we are all handed the bill. 

A few weeks ago our collective self appointed ‘Mommy,’ better known as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, stated that she viewed her extended roll in government as being our “mom.” Although some Liberals may find that touching, most of us find it terribly disturbing, enough so as to make ‘Mommy Dearest’ a whole new nightmare. From what we have seen lately there are some really terrible things going on over at “mom’s” House.

As an elected official in charge of upholding our Constitution wouldn’t it be uplifting if instead of thinking of the American People as her children (shudder) to be taken care of and of herself as our all-knowing ‘Mommy,’ Pelosi viewed us as free thinking, independent self-reliant adults and herself as the servant of The People.

Having already firmly solidifying her persona in our collective national psyche as the Wicked Witch of the Weft, Pelosi now wants to be thought of as our “mom.” Yet if that wasn’t enough to already make most of us hide under our beds and steer clear of wire hangers, what Pelosi is now saying is that she wants to give her children, the American People, national health care as a “gift” for Christmas. So now she wants to be Santa Claus too! Talk about gender bending, well, then again, she is from San Francisco.

Liberals would try to tell us that in accepting these multi-layered roles Pelosi is only showing her diversity, but we all know she is just proving that she really is completely off her rocker, or for you intellectuals, she’s as psychotic as a three headed loon. In a normal society she would be institutionalized, but in our insane asylum, she’s in control. Go figure. 

As we all know, at this time of the year Santa and his Elves are working overtime as the Christmas Holiday is drawing near. Likewise Speaker/Wicked Witch/Mom/Santa Pelosi had her demented little elves working overtime last week so that they could present the House version of this national rape… whoops, there I go again… I meant national health care, of course.

Will any of us every be able to block out the image of Pelosi and her evil flying monkeys, I mean elves, standing so proudly before the cameras on that Saturday night shamelessly announcing the further trashing of our Constitution with the passing of this health care Obamanation?

Speaking of which, I have mentioned before that Fridays are beginning to be a very bad day for us Americans because this Liberal Congress has been passing stinkers called bills, on late Friday afternoons and evenings when everybody else has already left for the weekend. That is what they did with the now failed stimulus bill and the not “of the end of the old ways in Washington” Omnibus pork bill. To give you some idea of just how bad this health care bill really is our elected criminals couldn’t even get it passed on another Black Friday but had to work over until late Saturday night. By the time they get around to the armed robbery bill, now better known as the cap and trade bill, they will probably be announcing its passage around 2:00 AM on a Sunday morning.

Anyway in getting back to the so called health care bill, just to show us kids that “mom” has had it with our misbehavior and that she means business she had her sadistic little elves include some ‘tough love’ with a few rather harsh, and unconstitutional, penalties if her brats don’t start obeying the rules. But then, well, let’s face it; we actually had such obvious parental disrespect to throw Tea Parties. Plus we showed up like real concerned and very vocal adults at town hall meetings! So just what is a “mom” supposed to do when her kids start acting like a Nazi mob? No self-respecting ‘mom’ is going to let her brats get away with such juvenile behavior. So “mom,” in her version of sending us to our room, without supper, has decided what to do if we refuse to buy this government health care. Of course being a stern “mom” this ‘grounding’ will be for up to five years in the state pen, plus she will take a big chunk of our allowance for such flagrant disobedience. Psycho “mom’s” version of discipline sort of makes you miss the days when it was just your old man coming after you with his belt.

“Mom” made it a point to brag about how under her plan no one would be turned down for health care because of a preexisting condition. But what she didn’t tell us is that in order to get this coverage the person with this preexisting condition must first be without insurance for six full months prior to them being taken under her wing, so to speak. Those unfortunates with the preexisting conditions better all hope that it isn’t a serious preexisting condition because in waiting these six months they very well could be dead. But then you didn’t really think that all this health care fuss was actually about saving lives and providing health care did you?

With “mom’s” House 2000 page version of the health care bill passed it moved on to the Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took over.

Hmmm… so if Pelosi is our “mom”… does that make Harry our… oh wait… please don’t even go there… before I could stop myself… I did… its not pretty… its not nice… and it is not a Happy Place. For our own mental health, lets just call him ‘Uncle’ Harry. Besides, I think that if somehow Pelosi really was our mom, Dad would have been long gone by now and there would probably be more than a few ‘Uncle Harry’s’ in our life.

So, ‘Uncle’ Harry took “mom’s” 2000 page version and came up with a 2000 page version of his own. Now that’s Congressional progress for you, and these are the same people who talk about saving trees. Harry’s health care bill includes much the same as “mom’s,” but in his there is some ongoing debate about funding abortion and elective plastic surgery, well shoot, we can’t have all of those sagging tummies, breasts and behinds uncovered! 

Like “mom” Harry said that he wants to give this health care “gift” to the American People for Christmas. Why oh why are we so lucky to have such generous people in our lives?

Yesterday Harry said that his health care plan would only cost us eight hundred and some billion dollars over ten years. I know I should be more specific but it really doesn’t matter if I generalize with eight hundred and whatever billion dollars because ‘Uncle’ Harry lies. In truth this bill will cost us over two trillion dollars over the next ten years. You see just like parents telling their kids the little white lie about Santa being real*, Harry and his cohorts in crime are not counting the cost of this bill in the first four years because even though it will be costing us big bucks in those first four years the bill does not go into effect until 2013. So you see Harry has only included the cost of six of those ten years in his total. And the farther out it goes the more the costs will increase every year.

Harry also stated that thirty million more Americans will be covered by this bill and that 98% of all Americans will be covered when it passes. Now I know that part of that 2%, which will not be covered includes Harry, “mom” and the rest of our elected officials and their families because they know what a mess this health care will become once they get their greedy little hands on it so they want no part of it. This national health care may be just peaches and cream for us, as they tell it, but by golly it is not good enough for these hackers to be included. One would think that this fact alone would tell supporters of this bill something is terribly wrong.

Anyway, as for the remainder of this uncovered 2%; my question is; are these the Americans who will be sitting in jail because they refused to buy this national health care coverage?

After all this time we were told over and over again that one of the main reasons for this health care plan was to provide health care for ALL Americans. So how did this 2% fall through the cracks? If we are going to allow the Federal government to take over 1/5 of our national GDP and control decisions about our life and death health care, shouldn’t they at least be forced to provide that 100% health care coverage that they promised when they first started this illegal takeover?

As you can see that just like being unable to succeed in running the Post Office, Amtrak, Medicare, Social Security, the VA and in reducing our deficit, big government has already failed in providing national health care to all Americans as they promised and it hasn’t even been passed yet.  

This seemingly never ending repetitive health care debate also explains why so many Americans have grown so tired of hearing about it. We don’t want it and its unconstitutional so let it die.

The one and only thing that you can be sure of when it comes to government control is this simple truth.

Whatever they claim it will cost will be a whole lot more.

But that is just the financial burden, which we and our future generations will have to bear. Even more calamitous is what we will be “given” for health care, which will turn into nothing but a chaotic bureaucratic nightmare of limited coverage due to rationing, long waits in emergency clinics, a shortage of medical personnel, and no alternatives. And yes there will be “death panels.”

Has anyone else wondered why in the last two days reports have now come out that women should wait longer before having pap smears and mammograms? That up until now, with this health care bill pushing its way through Congress, that all of a sudden we are being told that these precious women in our lives are not supposed to have so many of these tests? Even when early detection can be the difference between live and death for our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters? These recent medical ‘revelations’ goes against everything we have been previously told about our battles against cancer. Why? It is even more disturbing is when you understand that this new view of getting fewer mammograms suddenly comes from the US Preventive Services Task Force, which is funded and appointed by the government of the United States. Is this just the beginning of more health care rationing by our government in the future for all of us?

To give you an idea of what is coming consider that our government could not even provide enough vaccine for the H1N1, or swine flu, for only the young and old who needed it the most, in what Obama declared was a national emergency. Yet our consistently incompetent Federal bureaucracy is now demanding to take control of every medical condition and medical emergency of 300 million plus Americans. It is frightening even to imagine the depths of incompetence that awaits us.

While it is inevitable that we are all going to die, but I do not understand why nearly half of our population is welcoming the chance for our Federal government to hurry us on our way? Well except that this half must be brain dead already and as for the Feds this health care push has nothing to do with providing even adequate health care for our citizens, but instead is nothing more than a political power grab.

So please, now repeat after me.

“Take your unconstitutional, socialized national health care and shove it. This is America, The Land of the Free, and The Home of The Brave. Give us free enterprise and our Constitutional Rights and Freedoms. You can keep The Change.”

Maybe if we repeat this enough, it just may finally sink into those thick skulls in Washington.

God Bless America

Semper Fi,

Mike
