Mr. Obama never misses a chance to divide people by race, wealth, envy, occupation, age, or any other
measure.
Not at all. More than half the nation is Christian. Should we require the whole nation be Christian?
No, of course not, and we don't have to. We don't have to force people to live in ways abhorrent to their beliefs and natures. We just let everyone do their thing, and it's beautiful. Liberty. America.
That's the great horror of this bill--that the Democrats insist on forcing this on so many people, and secondly, that they believe they can (or should). How intolerant.
You've made it necessary to divide the furniture, or revolt. You've forced it, you leave people no quarter, no refuge, no state to flee to. You've just crammed through today's Intolerable Acts.
There was absolutely no need for that.
If there are a such large number of people who believe in this, and if Congress would only allow it, why wouldn't they simply form their own nation-wide non-evil insurance company, free of waste, fraud and abuse, taking all comers, with no limits? Surely half a nation of believers would be more than large enough a pool to cover any few with preconditions.
And if this worked so wonderfully well, if it were cheaper or better, why wouldn't people pour in by the tens of millions? And why wouldn't competing co-ops or private companies then spring up across the land, trying to do the same thing locally, or better, for even less, or slightly differently?
But instead of building something beautiful of your own, must you tear down what others have and want, and force them to adopt--no, pay for-- yours? That's wrong. And you coopt the government to their door to take it from them, to bludgeon them in broad daylight as surely if you broke their house and took their goods.
That's why people are upset. And this isn't going away. A government that can make you buy medical insurance, can make you buy or do anything at it's whim. That's tyranny.
Best, James Arthur
