"Hope & change" ... had enough?

Great article by Scott at Powerline with links to others:

The repeal of Obamacare is the organizing principle around which we must rally to put us on a path toward the restoration of limited government. David Hogberg usefully itemizes 20 ways Obamacare will take away our freedoms. We seek to rescue limited constitutional government from the maws of national socialism into which Obama and Obama's Democrats have inserted us.

As Professor Paul Rahe asks, "Hope and change: Had enough?"

Democare hangover

Thanks to DJ for the reminder that, "If you break it, you own it." Democrats will break health care in America, the best in the world (and that is why they all come to us) ... so now Democrats own it.

Call it what it is: Democare.

May we never forget that it was Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democrat Party that forever destroyed American health care. They are all looking for legacies much as Roosevelt and the New Deal. To them, the Constitution be damn ... it's their way, not the American way.

But this is a different day and age. This is the computer age. No longer are people isolated in rural areas or in mountain hollows, away from communication with the outside world. News these days is instantaneous and scrutinized to the nth degree.

And word of fraud spreads quickly. All the back room deals will eventually come out ... the millions (billions?) of dollars spent to buy Democrat votes. Republicans have been left out in the cold. Taxpayers have been mugged.

The next time Republicans are in power, I hope they will remember the Obama administration and the most unethical Democrat Congress in history ... and treat Democrats accordingly. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Democare. It's a new day in America. I hope you're ready.
