Supremes take up socialized medicine

Big day today. The Supreme Court heard arguments pro and con on the socialized medcine bill. By several accounts, it didn't go well for the feds.

Apparently at one point, Justice Scalia questioned the way the feds (and dems) define the "health care market." See, they say everyone needs health care at some time or another, and if people don't have insurance and can't/won't pay for the care/insurance themselves, then the rest of the country has to pay for it. So, somehow that means that every US citizen is a member of the "health care market" and needs to be regulated, pushed around, robbed, browbeaten, and generally treated like peon laborers and slaves to the state. All for the privilege of waiting in long, long lines for substandard health care and/or to be bundled up and cast upon an ice floe in our senior years.

So Scalia asked, "What about food? Don't we all need food? So does that mean the government can mandate that you buy broccoli?"

Good point. Of course, the guy from the feds said, "No, no. That's a completely different thing."

Yeah? Why? I didn't hear an answer. And I don't see the distinction.

I guarantee, if this crappy law is not struck down or repealed or done away with somehow, we'll all be eating broccoli or whatever kind of garbage this week's popular health freak feels is beneficial. (Even though, personally, I love broccoli... with lots of butter and salt.)

And we'll all have to buy electric cars to further support the UAW, I suppose. The UAW, who apparently truly are little obedient slaves to the state and happy as pigs in poop. They're an example for us all, apparently. (So I guess we should all go out and beat up and harrass people who don't want to pay us dues every month.)

By the way, don't the UAW and SEIU members share the common need for health care? Yet they've been exempted from this stupid law -- which exemption is, by the way, another constitutional violation, but who's counting? I suppose they won't have to eat the broccoli, either. 

Then there's also the fact that no one -- no doctors, no hospitals -- have to provide you with free health care... EXCEPT THAT THE GOVERNMENT MANDATES THAT.

So, you see, the government creates an unsustainable social and financial problem, then creates an ever larger social and financial problem to "solve" the first problem. Meanwhile, the government seizes control of everyone's life. Because they know what's good for us better than we do, right?

Is there something here I'm just not understanding? Like what, exactly, makes fascists tick? I mean why is that some people just can't stand to let other people alone? Sounds like some kind of monumental ego problem. Perhaps the dems and other pro-socialists really do NEED to see a doctor.

Save the Republic.
