When something needs fixin, break it worse

Yep, that’s right, we have a new saying here in America. From here on out, when we identify something that needs a little fixin, we are going to fix it real good until its broke worse.

Yes, I’ll admit that certain areas of our health care system need fixin. Issues such as pre-existing conditions, tort reform, and insurance fraud do need to be dealt with. But what President Obama and Congress just did was to make things much worse. They have walked over the rule of law and the constitution to ensure that taxes and debt are about to sky rocket. They will also bankrupt a ton of small businesses in the process. This will not be an economic boost as they say; it will be an economic disaster. They will also succeed in putting us in a situation were healthcare will eventually be rationed. People have guaranteed healthcare right now with or without insurance. Soon, we will all see limited access or even someone telling us we can’t get a certain treatment or surgery. Oh, they will make history as they have desired, but it will be as a historical disaster in the life of our country. I am convinced that the Liberal Democrats’ ultimate goal is to break down our country piece by piece until a complete change to socialism is inevitable.

In honor of this new saying and the new American way of doing things, I will now start doing things differently in my life as well. The next time my household water heater needs fixin, I will call in an accountant to fix it. I will ask him to use parts from an old dishwasher I have out back. I will then be making History.

The next time my car needs an oil change, I will take it to my wife’s hair dresser. I will have her change the oil with hair gel or shampoo. I will again be making history.

Then when our laptop is ill, I will take it down to my favorite auto mechanic for fixin. All will be well for sure, and I will have yet again made history.

Nancy Pelosi spent months pounding home the point of making history. The real point is that making history is not always a good thing. Benedict Arnold also made history, and yet he is held in contempt as well he should be. I am not yet ready to say Congress has committed treason as he did; but they have lied, ignored the rule of law, and spit on the constitution to get this monstrosity voted into law.

Some are already pointing to this fall and calling for us to “vote them out”. That will come in time, indeed. For now I am bracing and preparing to fight the next round of Constitution ripping legislation Reed, Pelosi, and Obama have in store for us. They will be trying to cram a jobs bill, immigration reform, and Cap and Trade (or in my words, cap and tax) down our throats between now and that Tuesday in November. So, we must keep up our guard and not wait for November.

This fight is about so much more than a bill or series of bills, it is about the foundation of this country. It is about Freedom. It is about a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. We must stop and realize that we are no longer talking about big government; we are talking about huge, out-of-control government. It is time to wake up, speak up, and STAND UP!

I have a lot more to say on the topic, and I will as time goes on. I have taken my time this week to calmly react to this sad occasion for our country. I am still a Proud American, and I will stand up for the principals and laws it was founded upon!

That’s my 2 cents! Apathy must die!
