Freedom

I’m an American. While I am a white male, that’s not “American” means, and certainly not what American stands for. Because of recent events I fear for myself, my family, and my country. There are certainly some things that make me fear, I might not be able to have free speech down the road, and I want to be able to say something while there’s still time, while I’m still able, and hopefully help change the course of where the United States is heading.

Its sad because we hear lies on a daily basis from people who have no concept what the history of the country is, or any idea what it is freedom really looks like. Politicians have now equated the word freedom to mean dependence on government, and that’s really not freedom at all, but slavery. If that sounds harsh its meant to be. Today we allow ourselves to be groped and fondled in order to be able to ride in an airplane, we have people telling us what to feed ourselves and our children, and how big of a soda when he should buy when we go out to eat.

These kind of things sound silly but they’re really happening. We live an era where an obvious liberal media bashes a President who doesn’t share their politics, insulting his intelligence, or beliefs, but don’t dare to challenge the guy who makes statements that 57 states in the Union, the Hawaii is in Asia, and not North America, or how to pronounce the word “Corps.” This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Recently we’ve dealt with the Supreme Court ruling that Obamacare is constitutional, when in all reality, it is not. I’m not sure if this makes sense, but its an illegal law. Its not ok to force people into something they do not want for themselves. Ultimately this supposed Affordable Healthcare Act is neither affordable, nor is it healthcare. It is expensive death care. And really its slavery. If you think that’s an outrageous statement, that’s a problem for you not for me. People have been claiming anyone who doesn’t agree with Obama is some kind or racist, or some such nonsense, but the truth is the man cannot handle anyone criticizing his ideas., much like someone losing a debate, or in this case, much like a tyrant. The plain and simple fact is that Obamacare is the complete and utter enemy to freedom, and happiness in this life. It will stifle people’s well being, and will in fact kill some people. It violates the Constitution in many places, overrides the will of the people, even more than that, causes people to violate their consciences and their beliefs.

I’m not going to focus on too much of the law, just a few of the particulars of what the supposed law does. More specifically the mandate is really what the problem is, though the “law” itself has some problems too. The mandate is the thing which is the problem in a general kind of way. It is a mandate, a demand, a command, an order, I’m saying this in different ways so that you can grasp what is going on. Someone is telling you what to do with your life. You must participate or you will be taxed, or fined, or whatever it is they’re calling it now, but basically its something that should leave a very bitter taste in your mouth. Do you really want government officials who are strangers in every sense of the word, running your life for you?

The very ideas of American government is that the citizenry can govern themselves. I think you understand what I mean by that. Its not that each citizen is his own government, but that people can make their own decisions for themselves better than a politician or ruler can. The mandate violates the 1^st Amendment since it will override people’s beliefs to the extent that they be paying into a program that provides abortions. Most Americans view abortion as genocide against the unborn, and even if you didn’t see abortion that way, why should the government force people to participate in something that people view it as such as?

The idea of the mandate is a form of legislative slavery. It violates the 13 Amendment in my opinion because you forced into servitude either to government officials who answer to someone who answers to someone else, who answers to whoever happens to be in the Oval Office. “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…” Forcing someone to buy something they don’t want is in fact involuntary servitude. This might seem silly to some, but forcing a person into something, is in fact slavery. Its not a tax, or a penalty, its legislative shackling.

The mandate also violates the commerce clause of the Constitution. Congress is “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribe.” Congress can regulate commerce, they’re not allowed to regulate something that doesn’t exist, how could you? The very idea of penalizing, or regulating someone’s personal decision on something like healthcare is not what the Founders of this country had in mind, and not what our laws say either. But alas, what do I know? I’m not a judge, or a lawyer, and apparently being literate isn’t enough to understand the legality of a law like this. At least that’s what I had one guy tell me online recently. But that’s alright I don’t think he’s got much of an IQ anyway.

What Obamacare really signifies isn’t a movement to healthcare or making anyone healthier, or better insured, what it is really is a step towards a socialist state. This is probably the landmark of Obama’s so-called presidency, but he’s done other things that are also lawless. He violated a court order, changed the requirements for receiving Welfare benefits under executive order, when the Welfare reform law says he has no power to do that. He recently granted amnesty to illegal immigrants, violating existing immigration laws, put together Fast and Furious, a gun running operation designed to bring about tougher gun laws and scare people into giving up guns, and violating their 2^nd Amendment rights, and these are just the ones I could think of, off the top of my head.

Now we’re either going to see this guy for what he is, a one-term hack, who hides any and all of his documentation about where he’s from, realize he wants to be a President for life, vote him out, and overturn his policies, or he’s going to get a second term, and he will likely usher in the death of the finest country anyone has ever seen. This is likely the biggest election of our lifetimes, and perhaps in the whole history of the country, we had better get it right and vote him out.
