ObamaCare Passed

President Obamessiah is about to sign a new healthcare bill into law. It’s time for a little plain talk.

This radical redefinition of 1/6th of the American economy puts the lie to the idea that Obama and the Democrat leaders in Congress are not seeking to push the country into socialism.  No serious thinker can reasonably say that this pronounced leftward shove, against the wishes of the American people, is anything but a gigantic step toward a European-style social democracy.

I have no doubt that this is what many of Obama’s voters were looking for when they poured their hopes and dreams and wishes for free stuff at the expense of others into the empty suit that is Barack Obama.  Call it leveling the playing field or social justice or helping out the poor or whatever polite fiction you like to use, this unread horror story of a health care bill is the single largest entitlement package created since the Great Depression.  No social program, once enacted, has ever been repealed.  Hence, ObamaCare is here to stay, whether we like it or not.

This is a victory for people who feel that they’re owed a living.  It’s a victory for people who lack the integrity to donate to charity, instead demanding your money at gunpoint: the government at the Great Dispenser of Social Justice.  It’s a victory for the Hope and Change crowd whose thinking never reaches past the depth of a bumper sticker.  It’s a victory for those whose work is not valued by society at large, let alone private industry, and instead rely upon the requirement of subsidy to hold a job (or get health insurance).  It’s a victory for individuals who buy $8.00 lattes and own Sean John clothes, but won’t change their lifestyles to accommodate the cost of health insurance.

It may be that this is a victory for you.  If it is, you’ve given up the luxury of being treated like an adult.  You’ve made me and everyone else responsible for your health choices.  If you’re overweight, it’s now my business.  Do you smoke?  Do drugs?  Snowboard?  Have unprotected sex with strangers?  You’ve now involved me in that.  Now that Government, and by small extension the American taxpayer, is the one paying for your health care, you’ve kind of infantilized yourself.

Grow the fuck up.  Take some fucking responsibility for yourself.  You’re an embarrassment.  You’re the tyranny the Founding Fathers fought to free us from.  You’re the antithesis of the can-do spirit that made America the world’s last great hope.
