BT: Jimmy T sends.

At least they did in my town. Let’s hope the spirit and character of Capt Warren Grimm lives on.

“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

and the cycle of political forms a democracy is borne and dies in

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

Something tells me we’re somewhere around leaving the apathy stage, after all hope and change lead an uptick in political participation. To help the process along the statists who desire to be loved for ushering in their farcical utopia / are interested mostly in their own narcissistic power / feel they are our moral and intellectual superiors and should control us, are now deploying brown shirt-esque muscle in their bid to cow us so knuckle-draggingly retarded as to question their enlightment clearly into dependency with universal health care. A few years ago I couldn’t fathom the possibility of the world’s most free and, not coincidentally, most successful and prosperous nation in history voting itself into slavery to the federal government / freedom from responsibility for themselves in return for a few thousand bucks per year, and what’s more to pretend all the while that it’s being done in the name of principle. But now . . .

How I pray this health care bill dies an inglorious death.

Because… that’s what’s going to happen. If a business is taxed to provide for this public healthcare, then why would they want to pay ON TOP of that for private for their employees? They won’t.
