Why was President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his
socialized medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust
voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. Pig in a poke means: an offering
or deal that is foolishly accepted without being examined first. A
poke means sack.
They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better
and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on
faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.
They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American
diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright..
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life
as a student.
They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer,"
Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record
as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he
was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth.
Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this
country. The American people have already awakened to the truth that
the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense
bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way helped all
Americans.
The American people already know that Mr.. Obama's plan to lower
health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a
promise of something that never was and never can be --
"a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society." Either the
costs go up or the free society goes away... a historical truth.
These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of
State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an
unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss
of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on
our lives to "protect us "from global warming, itself largely a
fraud if believed to be caused by man."
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if
he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency
and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up,
beloved America .
Ben Stein is a writer, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly
Hills and Malibu . He writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue of
The American Spectator..
You must, as an American, FORWARD this,
or you will wake up one morning and your freedoms are GONE.....
no longer there.
