Obama, you say "This isn't about me"

Really?

Didn’t you tell Congressional Democrats that they were ruining your presidency if they did not pass your health care bill?

Let me be very clear, Mr Obama,

Methinks thou doth protest too much



My 5 year old can be quite dramatic. As with most 5 year olds, she is quite self-centered, as well. She also, has this way of deflecting blame. Her 4 year old sister is very good at this, too. It must be a developmental stage kids go through. At times, she would become very excited over an idea of doing something or having things exactly as she envisioned in her head. She is a perfectionist, to say the least. When things could not or would not be as she envisioned, she would say, "You're ruining my dream!"

Does this sound like anybody else you can think of?

C.A.V.E. People vs The Publicly Educated

Perhaps there are more than one person on Facebook using the acronym CAVE, but for the uninitiated, it apparently means people who are Critical About Virtually Everything.

Now one of the most important aspects of education is to cultivate the ability to think critically... or at least it used to be. Once upon a time, there were these individuals who fancied themselves independent thinkers. This was before all the politically correct group think and altruism that infiltrates almost every aspect of our society now.

So, I found this gem of a comment on the White House Fan page on Facebook, regarding Healthcare reform. You'd swear some Republican had planted it to make Democrats look bad. Maybe so, but I tend to think it is the genuine opinion of the poor, dear, uneducated child who posted it:

I feel most nay-sayers (of government health care) are C.A.V.E people (critical about vitualy everything). How do these people think we became America? The Gov would be able to pay for a lot of this by repealing the BUSH TAX-CUTS...that is over a TRILLION $$ a year right there.
Why are we so scared of these SUPER WEALTHY people.
Havnt they done enough damage to our country?
We must STAND UP and NOT BE AFRAID....WE CAN DO THIS!

I won't argue her definition of super wealthy or even guess at who these wealthy elite are.. well maybe one guess, maybe she means the politicians? The political elite? Cuz' let me tell you, those guys got it made!

The part I find humorous is this, that somehow, she believes that our founding fathers would have supported our government providing health care to the people. I feel as though I do not even need to explain why this is absurd... but apparently there are some individuals who couldn't find a clue if they tripped over it, such as this young lady. Perhaps she has never been taught a thing about liberty and freedom from tyranny or how the authors of the Constitution engineered the framework of this great country to keep the federal government from wielding tyrannical power over the people. If the federal government does in fact wield power over our health care, then that is essentially having power over life and death. Our forefathers were quite critical about many things and planned appropriately. I know for a fact, they did not venture into this American Revolution willy nilly.


I do not trust these "angels" of government to look out for my best interest and I certainly do not trust them to make decisions about my health care.

I do find it a bit chuckle worthy that one should not be "critical" about the government being in charge of their health, LET ALONE ASKING "WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THIS?!?!" We already have a ponzi scheme called "MEDICARE" that we do not have the money to pay for, how exactly will we pay for Medicare for all???? Of that's right, the "government can pay for it"! Hey, where exactly does the government get that money? Tax payers? China? Hmm might need to think about that one... I bet they have a money tree in the White House Garden!

One more thing, if the richest people profited the most from the "Bush Tax Cuts", then who is to say that these "super-wealthy" people will bother to generate anymore wealth when these tax cuts go away? If they are so wealthy, what does it matter if they ever employ another person or generate any further income to tax? If it were me, I'd probably relocate to some other country or move my operations and assetts off shore... I'm just sayin...



They don't teach economics or history in public school anymore, do they?
