No one can force fundamentals on a government – by raw
definition, government does as it pleases.
Except, wait a minute – don’t we have a constitution? Don’t we, us Americans, have this overriding,
basic law that does control government? Actually
limit it? Of course we do. And, on top of that, we have something even
bigger and better than an old piece of parchment paper with these controls and
limitations – we have the supreme court to keep government abiding by those controls
and limitations.
Phew – for a minute there we were afraid we could end up
like Russia or Somalia – maybe even worse – Spain or Greece.
So we have these supreme’s – all nine of them. Praise the Lord – we are saved. And the top supreme – well, this guy is a
superstar. Great resume. Conservative fellow who grasps the constitution
and understands freedom and liberty – personal responsibility; pay your bills;
get a job; obey the law; be responsible for your children; love your wife/spouse/partner/husband/paramour/significant
other, blah-blah-blah.
Now we all know democracy is tainted – it is nothing but a
human scheme to advance the hopes and change programs of politicians who are
elected by the people by promoting their hope and change programs that will secure
enough votes for the politician to attain elected office. So what happens in this scheme? Just what you would think – candidate one offers
this – his/her opponent offers that – so candidate one offers more and opponent
tops that offer and on and on it goes. It’s
like a poker game with the players (candidates) using someone else’s money for their
bets.
In early 2009, the winning group of politicians/poker
players said – free health insurance for those 30 million. Along with a whole bunch of new taxes and
rules affecting the 240 million who already had it. These cleveristas (winning politicians) got
all the lobbyists in a room and they wrote a two thousand page bill with more
gimmicks and little goodies than anyone could grasp. But so what?
They had the votes – or they thought they had the votes. Turned out some of their own – smelling a
opportunity – figured they could threaten to hold up this 2000 page monstrosity
and get some special favors for their own locale – their state or their
district.
So the winning group of politicians/poker players folded –
gave in to the blackmailers and wrote in a bunch of special deals to assure
that the blackmailers would vote for the 2000 page law. Bingo – done deal. Passed.
The law.
Okay, back to our premise – not to worry – America has the supreme’s. The supreme’s will save us – the supreme’s
can see through this corruption – this ain't democracy – this is Russia, Somalia
or, even worse, Spain and Greece. Maybe even Italy!
Well as someone used to say – the rest of the story. Four of the supreme’s are in lockstep with
the winning politicians/poker players. All
they needed was one vote from the sensible group and we can say bye-bye to the
concept of control and limits on government.
They got it – from the guy who, on paper, should never have even been in
doubt. The fellow who knows better; this
top guy, folded and joined the politician/poker players who bet with other people’s
money.
His name – you know it – John Roberts.
Obama singed the law – Roberts could have stopped it
cold. Obama wanted it. He led the winning players. But Roberts?
We cannot explain why he did what he did but he was the fellow with the
assignment to stop this nonsense – the fail safe point of no return – the guy
who is supposed to understand and defend the constitution. The top constitution supporter. He folded so his name belongs on it too.
John ROBerts and Barack ObAMA ROB + AMA = ROBAMA CARE
Two foolish men who think they know how to run health
care for 240 million Americans.
