Tyranny Watch: Obamacare the Great Socialist Takeover
"Despite the talking points we are now hearing to the contrary," writes Peter Ferarra at American Spectator, "the bottom line is that the Obama/Democrat health overhaul legislation would result in" the following:
* Invasive Government Control: "Thorough and detailed government control over health care"
* Less Healthcare: "Government rationing that will deny you health care"
* Loss of Freedom: "Severe loss of freedom of choice and control over health care"
* Disabling Taxes: "Disabling, record high taxes that will leave America uncompetitive in the world economy"
* Costlier Healthcare: "Higher, not lower, overall health costs"
* Higher Federal Spending: "Higher not lower federal spending and deficits"
Meanwhile, exactly where in the U.S. Constitution is the federal government, or any political party, authorized to socialize healthcare?
It seems to me, and perhaps to a few other Americans, that the sworn duty of the U.S. president is to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
If logic and reason apply to government and politicians, let us ask: How is violating the U.S. Constitution consistent with the clear language in the Presidential Oath of Office to defend the Constitution?
