Liberals know best?

233 years ago our forefathers finally had enough of an oppressive government and took steps to give us the freedoms we enjoy today. They fought, and died, against a government that, among other things, overtaxed their subjects, denied them the right to voice their concerns and the right to make choices.

Today we have a government that believes it knows what is best for us all. They want to impose reform on 300 million Americans in order to take care of 46 million uninsured Americans. Simple math tells us that they want to reform the Healthcare of 85% of the population in order to help the 15%. I would like to know what the group make up is of the 15%. Why reform what works for the many to accomodate the few? They want to tax us to pay for it. They call those who freely voice their opinion or question them un-american. This reform will deny us the choice of medical providers. See a pattern?

Herein lies the problem. Instead of a King making us, his subjects, acccept that what he does is for the good of us all, we have Obama, Pelosi, etc. trying to force that rhetoric down our throats. We have staged Tea Parties to protest. We are voicing our objections to Health care reform. What does Pelosi say? We are un-american. I put to you that this is exactly what an amercian does. That is our right. Read this excerpt from our Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable-rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

This government does not have my consent. How about you? All I have to say is: Thank you Thomas Jefferson, and your posse, for the Second Amendment!
