For -or- Against?

If you can't see the video above, it's likely that Obama's brown shirts have removed it, and every other copy, from the Internet in an attempt to silence any dissenting opinion (even if it's by the President himself).

Obama must think the general population is stupid. Maybe we are. I consider myself to be average in intelligence and education - High school graduate with some college with a 1400 on my SATs back in 12th grade. His argument for Government-run Health Insurance can be summed up this way:

When it comes to sending mail,
the Government-run Post Office is A.F.U.
Private enterprise (FedEx and UPS) are doing great and have great service.

If this is Obama's argument for Government-run Health Insurance, he does think America is stupid. As history has continually shown, Government-run anything is never a good idea.

The only way our founding fathers were able to convince 13 Colonies to band together into a union was to promise them to keep the Federal Government limited. The Colonies back then didn't want to give up their governance to an all powerful central entity. The Constitution was written to allow the States sovereignty - the ability to govern themselves. The Federal Government, however, was limited to specific areas.

The Constitutional requirement of smaller government is one of my arguments against Government-run and mandated Health Insurance. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government is supposed to put their grubby mittens on health insurance, deposit insurance, retirement insurance, education, etc.

When you look at the things that Government is involved in, on the Federal, State, and local level, you won't find much success. Obama is talking trash about the Post Office in the video above. Think about it for a second and ask yourself these questions.

  1. Would you rather send a gift with the Post Office or with FedEx, DHL, or UPS?
  2. Would you rather send your kid to Public School or Private School?
  3. Can you count on Social Security to be there when you retire?

When you honestly answer these questions, how can you not be against Government-run anything? In my opinion, the Government is too large. It's time to roll back all of these inflated government programs and start putting things where they belong... in the private sector.

It's time to do your country a favor; Write your Congressman or Senator and tell them to say NO to Socialism.
