The passage of the Obamacare legislation was nothing less than a declaration of war by the government against the American people. Or at least, by the legislative majority.
It was Monday morning, March 22, 2010 and while driving in to work I came, after some thought, to the conclusion that America’s government had, the previous evening, declared war on the American people. It seems that I wasn’t alone in this. Later in the day I found that David Horowitz had expressed a similar reaction.
It wasn’t just that the House of Representatives had ignored the will of the majority of citizens in voting for the so called “health care overhaul.” It was the implications behind the act; that “they know better than we do” and that we have to take our bad tasting medicine because we will like what it does for us in the end. And then there is the other result that waits in the wings; the government takeover of the entire health care industry which will help to create the utopian vision of today’s Democrat party – a Stalinesque regime where medical and other needs are restricted based on compliance with the dictates of whoever is in charge. The thought that we could transform a generally free society to this in the just over a half century that I’ve lived sickens me. Imagine America re-instituting slavery, but this time it is more than 99 percent of the population that is to be enslaved for the pleasure and power of a tiny minority of self-appointed elites. Believe it or not, Representative John Dingell was recorded admitting as much.
Raed the rest.

 A specter is haunting America – the specter of a people rising. All across the nation Americans are waking up to the threat of a leftist elite determined to fundamentally change America, push through a socialist agenda, and make every citizen dependent on the state. The Obama machine is spending trillions of tax-payer dollars to finance their takeover of the American workplace and stifle the independence of the American people. But America is resilient nation, built on the principles of private property and individual freedom, and the resistance to their socialist plans has already begun.
In May 2009, just five months into the Obama administration, the people of California launched a tax revolt in the biggest spending state in the nation. So reckless were the leftist Democrats who run California (and have done so for as long as anyone can remember) that its deficit alone was larger than the budgets of most other states in the Union and of many of the nations of the world. Leftwing politicians don’t cut budgets; they propose new taxes. And California’s leftwing legislature did just that. But thanks to a constitutional amendment put in place by the California electorate through the state Initiative process, California legislators can’t raise taxes without a two-thirds referendum of the people. So they were forced to hold a special election in May to appeal to the electorate to pass five new ballot Initiatives to raise taxes.
But when the votes were counted, all five tax-raising Initiatives had been defeated by 60% margins. Even in San Francisco. A sixth Initiative designed by tax opponents to punish legislators who do not balance the budget passed by a more than 70% margin. Even in San Francisco. If one of the most liberal states in the Union is saying no to the soak-the-public philosophy of leftwing legislators, Obama socialism is in big trouble.
The revolt in California quickly spread to the entire nation through the efforts of the Tea Parties movement, the most innovative, exciting and powerful grassroots force in the history of American conservatism. It is vital to the health of this country that the Tea Parties movement grow. More to the point: it is essential to American survival that the Tea Parties movement succeed. On the eve of the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.” The Tea Parties movement is the American people saying no to Obama’s plans for revolution.
