So it begins. The United States has become just like the rest of the Socialist West. The entire political debate from now on will be centered around this disaster that is national health care. Every election will now be about first repealing it, then, if and when that fails, how to "fix" all the problems this monstrosity is going to cause.
Next up: legalizing all illegals so they can suck on this newly grown government teat, let them get legal jobs, so millions more illegals can come take the underground jobs they leave behind.
The slope this country has been sliding down to hell on has just gotten a lot steeper.
November is going to determine a lot. Unfortunately the road to getting rid of this monstrosity will involve getting a majority in the House, 60 votes in the Senate, and the Presidency as well. I'm not holding my breath for the courts to stop this nightmare.

Progressivism
What is progressivism moving away from? What is it progressing toward?
Well anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows the answer, but I got bored and was messing around with photoshop earlier:
Liberal-progressive-statists want the government involved in everything. So no matter whether you want total government or not, if you push government involvement where there isn't any, or even continued government where it shouldn't be constitutionally, you are part of the push toward total government control.

The Difference between a Statist and a Conservative
The title is just a tad bit misleading because there obviously isn't just one difference between two diametrically opposing ideas. Everything is different. The point however is not just a difference, but a fundamental reason why conservatives are grounded in fact and educated while liberal-progressive-statists are just brainwashed drones.
Liberal-progressive-statists are indoctrinated with the "compassionate" big government philosophy and then also indoctrinated with their view of conservatism. Conservatives are educated on conservative ideals and go to the statist propaganda sources and see the statist philosophy for what it is. Conservatives encourage each other to go read what liberals write and see it for what it is, not tell each other what they say and think.
Want one example out of millions? The media's portrayal of Rush Limbaugh as Satan, when anyone who actually listens to him instead of just believing what they are told, knows this is not true. Why? Because the statists know that any American with two brain cells to rub together who actually listens to a coherent argument from a conservative will be compelled to at a minimum, actually listen to what s/he has to say. The opposite cannot be said, because what the statists espouse is so fundamentally against founding American principles.
Another example? Me. For a long time I had been one of those relying on what was said in the media about conservatives. And while I was not a big believer in most of the leftist agenda, but they had sucked me into some of it. But then one day I decided to check out what was being said through their mouth, not someone else. It didn't take very long, especially after reading Mark Levin's book to find that not only did I agree with 99% of the principles, I passionately agreed. This was very enlightening compared to the half-hearted following of the typical leftist drone.

The Future of the US
Just seeing news in Greece and the protests and rioting going on there. It's like looking into the future. The future that "progressives" are progressing us toward here in the United States. An entitlement mentality so ingrained that even when the country and currency is about to collapse under the weight of debt, a large portion the people still don't want to make sacrifices. Perhaps if they hadn't run up the credit card so high the bill that came due wouldn't have been so bad.
Can you say $55 trillion in underfunded liability to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid? Yeah, I've got a great idea. Let's expand that massive Medicare program that's bleeding red ink to EVERYBODY in the country.
The credit card bill goes even higher. What's going on in Greece will look like a playground fight between 7 year olds compared to what is going to happen here when the bill collectors finally come calling. Unless we stop the out of control spending and this rogue government now and start reversing the damage.

Obama: Washington Obessessed with Polls and Politics
You know, this is one of the many things that progressives says that sounds great until you actually deconstruct what it really means.
Newsflash: Politicians need to be worried about what the polls say in a Republic because politicians answer to the people. As Obama continues to push his party to ignore polls and what people really want or don't want, he is pushing the dictator's view that what the dictator thinks is best is what needs to happen, and damn the people and what they think. In Obamaworld polls wouldn't matter because he would be a dictator imposing all his ideological policies on us without us having a say in it at all.
In a representative republic, you don't get to muscle your agenda through against the will of the people and not pay the consequences come election time. Ideologues like Obama don't give a rat's behind about any of that. It's all about getting their agenda pushed through whether 50% of people support it or 10% do.
So this is what we are facing today. An out of control government led by a dictator wannabe. Does is stop with this particular piece of legislation? Of course not. What's next is what should really give you nightmares.

Good News!
Good news! Only another 36,000 people lost their jobs today! Harry Reid says so, so it must be great!
Oh, and just when you thought it couldn't get any BETTER, last month's job losses were revised up another 6,000. So I guess we better make that 42,000 more total. I think I'm going to go have some ice cream with lunch today because it's such a GREAT day. Thanks for letting me know Harry!
