Daniel: Say 'hello' to government dependency

D-Day plus 20. That's "D" for "dependency." On March 21, our president and his lackeys in Congress passed Obamacare, effectively telling Americans to sit down and shut up because they know what's best.

What's "best" is an ever-aggressive state growing the dependency class by initiating a hostile takeover of health care. President Obama and his "Chicago way" transplants used bribery, constitutional chicanery, divisive backroom politicking and sleight of hand to override the will of a nation - a nation under the impression it got a "post-partisan uniter" in 2009. The way Obama's law passed through Congress made "Schoolhouse Rock" 's "I'm Just a Bill" obsolete.

Yes, the president broke his promise of signing no bill into law without first giving us five days for review and comment, but we should look on the bright side: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the bill had to pass before we could know what was in it.

Now we can. Did you know a government takeover of student loans is in the health care bill, or that senior congressional staffers, many who had some role in writing the bill, exempted themselves from Obamacare mandates? There's just no telling what we might find rattling around in there. Hey, look, there's that earring I lost two years ago. From now on, when I misplace my keys, the Obamacare bill is the first place I'm looking.

What this bill actually contains is the blueprint for radically changing the relationship of free-born American citizens to the state. It's also the means by which the foremost of nations hops the fast track to history's septic tank.

In a characteristically unpresidential speech shortly after signing the bill, Obama mocked and ridiculed dissenters - i.e., two-thirds of Americans. "After I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling ... and the sky didn't fall."

The game plan? Marginalize opponents and claim his "moderate" bill makes no drastic changes.

Yet.

The sky will fall, but by degrees.

That Canadian premier recently in the news probably thought universal health care was a grand idea too, in the beginning. Now he's eschewing Canada's glittering system to have his heart checked in Florida. In just under the wire, too. Consequences of what Obama has wrought are, by design, a ways off. Once they are in full swing, the grass no longer will be greener on the other side of the border fence.
