They merely want government in charge of all facets of our lives. They are pursuing this goal without respect to the damage it may cause to our economy, without concern for the warping of our constitutional rights, and without regard to what their ultimate agenda may cost.

When the average American worker and business owner sees increases in healthcare premiums that, year after year, are ten-fold the cost of inflation, it’s not surprising that something needs to be done to stop the spiraling cost of staying healthy and insured.

Congressional liberals, on the other hand, want to give free healthcare to 15% of the population’s uninsured, a portion of which have simply chosen not to buy healthcare insurance. And, they want the diligent 85% to pay for it.

The really scary part is that Congress thinks that a Government run healthcare bill will put pricing pressure on a free-market Healthcare system. They need look no farther than Medicare and Medicaid to see that the Government run programs, that insure approximately 40 million on Medicare and another 50 million on Medicaid, have had no effect on the rising cost of healthcare. The word “clueless” comes to mind.

Do we need healthcare reform? Absolutely. Do I have the answer? Absolutely not. It will most likely involve tort reform, more latitude for general practitioners to provide general medical services without the interference of insurance companies, unrestricted fair market competition among healthcare providers eliminating regional boundaries and individual choice of healthcare provider, without penalizing or changing company-paid benefit programs.

As Ronald Regan so apply put it, “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

I’d much rather be the person that I am in our universe. I made the decision to vote against Obama because of who he has associated with and because of his beliefs. I researched him and the other candidates carefully. I didn’t like his racially prejudiced minister, I didn’t like the fact that he was an attorney for ACORN, I didn’t like the fact that his wife had never previously been proud of America, I didn’t like the fact that he is a socialist who wants to redistribute my hard-earned money, I didn’t like the fact that he clearly wanted to promote larger government, greater control over my life and government-run health care, and the list goes on.

I’m glad Olberman, Matthews and Carter were talking about my counterpart in that parallel universe. If they were talking about me, and all the others who made the same decision I did for the same reasons, I’d have to assume that Olberman and Matthews were just plain incompetent journalists, had an agenda they were promoting based on direction from above, or worse. In Carter’s case he needs to just throw out the rest of the Billy Beer.
