The End

Today it appears that the House of Representatives have approved what is commonly called Obamacare.
Beginning today the United States citizen will be required to pay insurance for the very act of breathing.
Today the Congress, through trickery and bribery, have violated the United States Constitution.
Today the American Republic ended and was replaced by the American Diktat.
We find ourselves being ruled by a bunch of mobsters.
Either get used to it or fight against it at election time.

A Long Letter That We Can Learn From

Despite the fact that the United States is a more free society and nation than is the United Kingdom, the Brits seem to have the freedom to publicly make statements that would get a Yank damned by the media.

Here is one that we all should read, ponder and repeat:

Gates of Vienna: Ethnically Cleansing the English

By the way, in England there is an organization called the English Defense League that stands up for traditional English values. The organization is sneered at by the same class of people who embraced Hitler during the 30s, but is not unpopular with the average Brit of whatever race. If an American Defense League were to be created one can be sure that the media would try to paint the organization as a racist militia. Look at how the media regards the Tea Party Movement.

Health Care? Ferggit!

Your faithful correspondent is not a person who files away references to data, so he hope that the reader will forgive him for not providing the sources to the following information. The information may very well be incorrect, so take it with a grain of salt,

A Senator stated this week that 75 people died per day due to the lack of medical insurance. That results in a yearly total of 27,375 deaths per year.

Meanwhile, another study using reports from doctors (in other words, self reported and not by an objective body which would probably result in a higher number) stated that annually there were 35,000 deaths in the United States that resulted from incorrect medical care.

In other words, one has a better chance of taking another breath by not having medical insurance than going to a doctor for treatment.

Understanding the Constitution

Our Great Leader and his minions are bound and determined to saddle the population with some sort of government health care scheme despite the fact that most polls and thinking people are dead-set against the opening of such a jar of snakes. And in their insistence to do "what is best for the American people" they are using every procedural trick in the book to avoid having an honest debate and congressional vote on the matter. The President and the liberal Democrats are basically playing the same "I'll hold my breath until I turn blue" gag that a three year old child plays when he isn't given the ice cream cone that he has been denied.
They want this thing even though they really do not know what is on the bill that is one the table. This writer would like to sell them some real estate, a couple of cars and sign them up for a few investments with the argument of, "Just sign on the dotted line. We'll work out the details later."
But one aspect of the proposed health care bill, indeed, the very idea of a national health care scheme, is the constitutionality of such a thing.
Walter Williams has taken the time and trouble to address the matter:
A MINORITY VIEW
This writer would posit that the essay be required reading for every member of Congress except for the fact that most members of Congress, both in the Senate and the House of Representatives, have less understanding of the Constitution than a seventh grade child has of the Hypostatic Union.

This is Interesting

The following is the text of a speech by Mr. Singh, a Sikh living in England. Please note that Mr. Singh identifies himself as an Englishman -- not an Anglo-Indian. Would it be that our grumbling minorities here in the US would do the same:
