Fix Bayonets

12Mar2010
Our President sure loves telling the American people to shut up.

"The time for talk is over”

“The debate is over”

“We don't want those who made the mess to do a lot of talking."

Obama says that Congress needs to stop talking, and take an up-or-down vote on the health care overhaul plan…soon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered committee chairmen to postpone their hearings Thursday so lawmakers can meet to chart a course for negotiations. But lawmakers have rejected the White House's March 18th "pass it or else" ultimatum, causing the first family to delay their trip to Indonesia until the 21st.

That's not to say that anyone has committed to passing it immediately. There’s still concerns to be ironed out. Yesterday the Senate parliamentarian ruled the Senate cannot use reconciliation to act on any bill not already signed into law, invalidating the power grab attempted with The Slaughter Solution. Democrats only way forward is for the House to approve the Senate version of the bill, and count on the Senate to use reconciliation measures to make it come more in line with the House version.

Does Nancy Pelosi even have the votes to pass the Senate version of Obamacare in the house? Most signs point to no, at least not yet. So we must be prepared in the event that they do not pass it before the March 26th recess for Easter. Prepared for town halls.

Fix bayonets, prepare for hand to hand. We have to get it through the head of progressives.

We're not going to let them take over a sixth of the U.S. economy and abolish private insurance in the process. They're spending like mad to “help” at most 15% of the population, and selling out the future of the other 85% to do it. They intend to rob future generations, harvesting future earnings and growth, eroding opportunity in America. We are going to stop them.

The date rape attitude of this administration will end. No means no!
