Exactly how much of a Pandora’s Box is the Slaughter “solution”? If the House can pass a bill that doesn’t exist, without voting on it, and then make changes to it later and call it law- but get away with it- what does that mean for our republic? If I ask you to sign a contract, and you agree to sign, and I edit the contract after you sign it, is it still valid? I know, that’s rhetorical.
I am trying to figure out where the Insane Dear Leader is coming from, and have come to realize that I must give him a few points. He has definitely taken us away from politics as usual. I miss the Do-Nothing congress that was elected in 2006. How sad is that? Change has come to Washington, and whether or not it’s what we or anyone expected, it definitely came. That’s where I’ll stop. Because everything else he said was a damned lie. What happened to open and transparent government, who isn’t beholden to special interest? Or about how we can’t pass healthcare with “fifty plus one” votes?
I suppose it’s a change for the old Washington-as-usual behaviors to now having this person who is supposed to be the leader of the free world, crying like a little kid and telling other Democrats that he’s not going to come campaign for them, if they vote against his healthcare agenda. Sorry guys- either play by his rules, or he’s going to take his ball and his bat and go home; you can just get elected by yourself, for all he cares. Seriously- this is embarrassing. This guy is the commander in chief. Talk about Silly Season in politics! What a bunch of whimsical and dramatic crap.
Now, while they try to ram this unconstitutional 2,700 page nightmare that will be changed after it’s not even voted for and made law, they move right ahead with their next top agendas to try and bankrupt our society, and turn us all into a bunch of statistslaves. As I mentioned in a previous article, Obama is set to please the minority special interest groups, by also taking on immigration reform, also known as amnesty to all good progressives. (This way, he can also make pretty good on his word about not having to cover illegal immigrants in the healthcare bill.)
If the CBO scores the healthcare bill, will they be able to take into account how much the estimate will go up, when we let every person here illegally, become legal? Not for anything, but if they can apply these Slaughter rules to something like healthcare, don’t kid yourself for two seconds they won’t try this with every other single solitary piece of progressive legislation they can get away with. Immigration- should they acquire the ability to get it being “worked” on in Congress- will undoubtedly undergo the same slimy tactics to get something passed. (If it’s such a great bill, why resort to this?)
Never mind that the amnesty they will be proposing… ahem… immigration reform!... is also just as un-American as the healthcare bill. Immigrants come to our country legally to either be a citizen of the best country on Earth, or to take advantage of what we could offer them in the way of education and opportunity which doesn’t exist in their home countries. Amnesty cheats these legal immigrants- who, I might add, actually like our country- in all their hard work, time, and money spent trying to get here the right way. What would it mean to the unemployment numbers to give amnesty to the estimated 20 million here? What would that do to the taxes to support these people and give healthcare to these people- who couldn’t get a job anyway, because there are none to be had?
Maybe the government can hire them!
Education Reform is next. I can’t wait till Dear Leader gets his fingers into the school systems much more than he already has. What I’ve read of his proposals so far, only serve to reaffirm my position of him being a progressive statist, in his notions of the necessary federal government provisions for education on the local levels. And, provided again that they have the ability to even introduce such legislation into this Congress, if it’s necessary, Slaughter Rules would apply.
You see, if Slaughter’s idea is something that is embraced by our Congress, than the government can do whatever it wants, with regard to our lives. Fifty plus one votes and not voting on a bill which technically doesn’t even exist, but saying you did, is the biggest, smelliest pile of Pelosi I think, ever. The last hope resides with the Supreme Court- of which, I haven’t found reason to lose faith in, quite yet.
I am wondering though, and actually sort of serious in my inquiry: After the last year of going through all this crap with the progressive government running our Republic into the ground, can I sue them for mental anguish, torture, or pain and suffering?
