Today, exemplified by actions of the bipartisan US consensus, assisted by an acquiescent and dumbed-down populace, the clandestine mentality is not clandestine. "Professional amorality" is the norm---celebrated openly, and opposed by few.
In other words, your life and all of your communications---from your emails, your web searches, medical records, and financial information, to your reading this article and clicking this web site---has been "hoovered up" by the US government鈥檚 spying machine, to be used against you at some future time, if the powers that be so choose.
If 9/11, the Patriot Act, and the relentless destruction of law since 2000 have not already made abundantly clear, a "Homeland Security" police state within US borders, courtesy of the spy bill, is now complete. Not even the trappings of a democracy remain. No. The USA, just like the UK, is a military dictatorship.
The people in charge are also in charge of the military.
The only difference between them and and any other dictatorship is that the USA has an option (and it is only an option should the President decide there is a big enough threat to the US anywhere in the world that the present incumbent should stay in their post) of a rolling program of new dictators every few years.
As for the UK. I, nor anyone else in this 'democracy', ever got the chance to vote for either the Queen or the Prime Minister. Nor will any of us ever get the chance to vote for their successors.
Anywhere else in the world and both the USA and the UK would be telling us all we should be pressing for regime changes in Countries with these types of Governments. Fact: Wiretappings have led to multiple arrests and convictions of terrorist suspects.
Now tell me how this has negatively impacted your life.
Actaully, what scares me more is Liberals who are trying their hardest to snuff out the Second Amendement rights of citizens.
What about the Democrat-controlled congress that has enacted legislation enabled by Liberal and environmental specialinterest groups that effectively DICTATE to US citizens what kind of light bulbs and water heaters we are PERMITTED to have in our own homes?????
What about the call by Liberals to re-enact the Fairness Doctrine which will FORCE private radio broadcasters to air regulated time slots of politically centered media based on the partisan content????? Doesn't this completely violate the First Amendment? - Not as long as it only applies to radio obviously, because the proposed legislation does not mention television or printed media - you know, sources that liberals already control.
AND WHAT ABOUT SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE?????????
The costs:
Look at France for example. In 2006, the average citizen payed between 41% and 46% of their income to the government. Compare this to 30 years ago when it was nearly half that rate. It is estimated that Socialized medicine is now costing each citizen upwards of 28% of their annual income.
So, lets say that I make $50,000 per year salary. $14,000, yes that's FOURTEEN THOUSAND of my dollars, which I earned are paying for healthcare. If I have to visit the emergency room twice in one year, that is the same as me having to pay $7,000 per visit.
Think this is Bullsh**? Just wait and see.
This is opposed to now, I pay only $200 per month for my health insurance.
My BIGGEST problem however are the HUGE misconceptions about the proposed National Healthcare. Some people are advertising it as "Free" Healthcare. Hillary Clinton claims that it would only cost about $800 per year per person to administer. This is IMPOSSIBLE.
Doctors will still need paid, medical facilities still need funds, and the program itself will cost billions to start, employ its administrators and to continue running.
All of this will be funded by tax dollars.
Also, look at the probems inherent with the proposed programs:
#1 The government, through this agency will essentially control your healthcare. This means that you will have to apply to the government for the healthcare that you need. Then if you need a procedure or treatment, you will have to get that approved as well. What other countries that have socialized healthcare have experienced is that the all-knowing, all-seeing government takes this one step further and actually places you in a wait status for the procedure based on the severity of your condition compared to other peoples'. So, lets say you are diagnosed with cancer, but the doctor does not feel that treatment for it is needed yet. Buddy the second I find out I have cancer, I'm doing eveything I can to get cured. Under National Healthcare however, you do not have that right. You have to wait in line as funding is allocate first to people with more severe cases than you. People say that then you can opt to pick up private health insurance, but in reality NO insurance company will provide coverage to ANYONE who has cancer as a pre-existing condition, so then you are at the mercy of politicians and the system.
#2 Under National Healthcare, you do not have the right to refuse treatment either. If you are prescribed a medication that is cheap, but that makes you go bald, and the only other medication for your condition is very expensive, the system is likely to provide you with only the cheapest medication. If you refuse it, the you are dropped from the National Healthcare plan because you would be considered a risk. Then, just like abovr, you are stuch with NOTHING as no insurance company will then pick you up with that pre-existing condition unless you are willing to pay HUGE premiums.
#3 Why should I, if I am willing to pay for insurance to avoid all that I have described above, have to have my taxes raised for others to have free, government-controlled healthcare that I will not benefit from??? Do you even realize how much your taxes will rise to be able to implement this??? i remenber a novel '1984' by boris pastermaucks which visualized a situation where information technology wud end all privacy and all wud be under 'big brother' s gaze.
as a matter of fact every state is essentially a police state and other functions like social welfare are additional. And yet you probably support Obamas national health care system in which your medical records will be the property of the federal government. Getting very close. Only a traitor would defend those actions of this criminal regime. We are a nation of snoozers. If the sheeple don't wake up soon we will be a nation of loozers. The US of A has been a police state for awhile.
Any argument with this position is only based on a relative comparison of police states which are more dictatorial than the US. |
