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.
