A super liberal Congressman was asked by a reporter "Where in the Constitution does it say the Government has the power to mandate that we all have health insurance?" The answer given was "No one questions that anymore."
Good question, no answer. Obviously, any first day student of our country would know that the Government does not derive its powers by the silence and implied acquiescence of the people. At least that is not the way the Founders intended it to be. which is why they included this unequivocal language:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
What we are seeing in Washington today is the unprecedented dictatorial grabbing of power by a political horde that outright rejects this country's very basic ideals and considers nothing outside its grasp. Automobile company not doing well? Take it over. Banking industry hurting? Take it over. Insurance companies charging too much? Take them over. CEO's earning too much? Limit their pay. People drinking too much soda to our liking? Tax them. People having more than one child? Sterilize them. Older people needing medical care? Let them die.
By what authority do they do this? By the ridiculous, inane, stupid and untrue "nobody argues about that anymore."
It is not surprising that the Administration has sought to cultivate silence in this country by launching a smear campaign against those who do speak out against its unAmerican activities...and it has gone so far as to label them "the enemy." (A label to be worn with pride.) If they are successful in shutting up everyone who disagrees with them, they will then, I guess, claim total acquiescence with their radical agenda...and move forward even faster and further. If there ever was a time to speak out, it is now.
Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.
