Are we still living in the USA?

The passage of the "Healthcare Reform" bill on Sunday is the biggest travesty and abuse of power that this country has ever seen. It is wrong on so many levels, and involves so many people, that EVERY CITIZEN of America should be up in arms.

First and foremost, the government now has (?) the authority to force the people of this nation to buy something (health insurance) from the government. What?!?! Ladies and gents, this is in direct violation of the Constitution of our country, the same Constitution that Obama is an expert on, and taught on. The government of this country does not have that authority and is clearly abusing what power they think they have.

Next is Mr. Obama's campaign promise that any bill that comes to his desk will sit there for five days and will be available on line for all citizens to view and read, before he will sign it into law or veto it. The president waited exactly 36 hours to sign this one. So much for integrity.

Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure that this country, its people, resoundingly voiced a big fat NO to this bill for many reasons (chief of which is taxpayer funded abortions). Yet the very representatives who are supposed to be speaking for their constituents VOTED FOR THE BILL! Again, this is an abuse of the power given to these men and women. If they don't legislate according to what their voters want, then why do we allow them to continue to sit in these offices?

If you live in WV like I do then you need to know that Rahall and Molohan both voted FOR this bill, despite the overwhelming number of residents of WV who were against it.

I am proud to say that Capito voted against the bill, along with every other Republican in the House.

The time has come, no, is overdue, to vote these people out of office. If they don't speak for us, why should they be speaking at all.

Sorry for the rant.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Earlier this month President Obama told business leaders that "We have to once again live within our means."

He is exactly right. Living beyond our means is the very thing that has this country's economy in such a state. Banks and other lending institutions (at the direction of the government) have long been approving loans to people who have no way of repaying them, all so we can have the "American Dream."

Now that the piper must be paid, people everywhere are losing their part of that dream.

Most successful leaders lead by example. If we see someone at the top living what they're telling us to do, we're willing to follow that example.

Sounds simple, right?

Then why is it that our President just wrote out a "check" for nearly $800 billion dollars that we don't have, and can't pay back?

What happens when its time to pay that piper?
