Abraham Lincoln so eloquently said in his famous address at Gettysburg, that "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal... that we here highly resolve that these dead [in the current war between the North and South, and any war that has involved America's fight to sustain its right to a democratic government] shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
This ideal of a democratic government may find its fateful ending should this president continue to"bully whip" his party's Legislators into "walking-the-plank" by passing this National Health-care Referendum, through the use of "reconciliation".
The ideals of a democratic society, and its subsequent government, mean that those who are elected "by, and for the people" and seated in the Legislative Branch of Government, as well as the Administrative branch, are expected to represent the "will" of the people of this democracy. This means that these men and women [in the Senate and Congress] have the responsibility to vote according to the will of their constituents; not according to the will of the seated POTUS, or, as Senator John McCain said last week, "his conscious".
The most recent push to pass a bill that has already been proved to be unpopular among the majority of this "government, by, and for the people" is no longer a democracy in action for those very same people. IMHO, what Obama has proposed is nothing more than a "dictatorship" in the making.
It should come as a surprise to any American [especially those who voted for Obama] that Obama has become so power driven. After all, he spent 20 years under the tutelage of a preacher who strongly believed in, and forcefully taught "Liberation Theology" to his congregation. Liberation Theology is a militant form of religion that expects its leaders to lead by an "iron-fisted-authority" at any cost, because that is what is needed to keep the people in line. Obama's understanding of the Gospel message was militant, and its influence has been clearly seen in how he is leading those within his own party.
Liberation Theology expects the sacrifice of many to gain the goal of the few... and that philosophy is what I believe is driving Obama to secure a victory, at any cost, in getting this referendum passed.
This does not mean that Obama is an evil person. The truth is, he sincerely believes that he is doing what is best for the people of this nation. After twenty-years of sitting under Liberation Theology teaching, he has taken to heart, the central theme and driving force of the Liberation Theology message. Reverend Wright can be extremely proud of his prodigy.
When a president sees himself larger, smarter, and more all-knowing than those who trusted in him and subsequently voted him, or her, into office, than that president has stepped beyond the will of the people. And by stepping beyond the will of the people, Obama is about to "stomp" on the very people and their will, by cramming down their "throats" a National Referendum that is so unpopular that a large group of the president's own voting party officials will be removed from office at the up-coming general election.
For any Democrat leader in the Senate and Congress, to blindly "Trust him," as Obama has called for them to do, by passing this bill through reconciliation, reminds me of those in Hitler''s regime who blindly followed and died for his quest to reign as the world's supreme leader of the Third Reich!
No POTUS should be allowed to wield the kind of power that Obama is wielding. The system of "Checks-and-Balances" that were put in place by our founding fathers was done so to protect and assure that this nation would never fall into the hands of a dictatorship. However, America is in jeopardy of a covert attempt by Obama, to gain absolute power over the people should his party officials support his push to use "reconciliation" in order to cement his presidency, and personal legacy, in the halls of time and historical fame.
You can disagree with me, if you want. You can even call me an "alarmist!" But, I was one of many who tried, in vain, to warn those who supported Obama during the elections. I wasn't wrong then, and I don't believe that my warning now is too far from being right-on, give-or-take a few degrees to the left or the right.
As Lincoln so eloquently said, "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain... " IMHO, should Obama win his Health Care Push, I sincerely believe that all of the men and women who have fought for, and died in past and present wars, will truly have died in vain! For freedom as we know it, just may die with this bill of entitlement.
