Remember the Declaration of Independence!

In the Obamanation of Healthcare Reform, here is some of the most reprehensible language ever inserted into the most reprehensible bill ever passed by congress, Healthcare 2009.

What Harry Reid and the Democrats have set up is Senate procedural language that will make it nearly impossible for this legislation to be rolled back, if We The People decide at a later date we do not want this.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I don't say this lightly, but what do a sovereign People do when a government works against them at every turn, putting the interests of the government above the interests of the people?

Have you every read this document? It's called the Declaration of Independence.

In particular, let me draw your attention to these two parts of the document:

Part One: [When] in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation

Conservatives through many means (none violent by the way) have been making this case over the last 15 months.

Part Two: 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

What does that language mean for us today? I don't exactly know. But here is my fear: we are on a trajectory toward marxist totalitarianism. We know from history where this leads. Will those in this country who treasure freedom, liberty, and the American Way allow us to be led into the slaughterhouse of Marxism, much as the Jews were led into the ovens at Auschwitz? I don't think so.
