And the other guy is better how?


"In every generation there are those who want to rule well - but they mean to rule. They promise to be good masters - but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
Now that we've seen the fiasco health care bill pass the House and hopefully stall in the Senate, it's time to take stock.

Yes, the Democrats authored the bill. Yes, the Democrats did everything they could to shut out the Republican minority.

But the Republican alternative plans were still pretty bad!

I can't stress that enough. It may have been a "choice" of having your left arm sliced off or your right hand hacked off, but SOMEBODY was still cutting out freedom. Maybe the Ron Paul version was having all your fingers chomped off by a half-starved rabid bear.

The best choice was to walk away. And that was the choice that every single member of Congress specifically prevented you from doing.

Where were the choices to REDUCE taxes? Who talked about cutting regulation? What member of Congress said that more than half of medicine in this nation was already socialized and firmly under government control? At least, as long as the money holds out…

I've used this Daniel Webster quote before.

"In every generation there are those who want to rule well - but they mean to rule. They promise to be good masters - but they mean to be masters."

I certainly can't say it clearer than Mr. Webster. Regardless of your desire, they mean to rule. The politicos are not shy about showing it either.

We need to include this H.L. Mencken quote too.

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."

Your freedom is at stake.

For decades the two major parties conspired to keep anyone else out of power. Often it's impossible to get on the ballot without one or the other. No matter what the voters want, without overwhelming effort, one or the other parties will probably win. The default state is that the major party candidates get elected.

But it goes much further than that. In the Federal budget, the new budget is bigger than the old one, even if no Congressperson does anything. Many state and local governments are exactly the same.

And what happens when there is a recession or a depression? Why, government spending must increase for the common good.

This is the default setting of our government.

And this is why it is going to fall.

It's not Democrats.

It's not Republicans.

It's not even (gods help us) Libertarians or other "third party" spoilers.

It's government. Institutions that are designed to exclude your choice, Closed syndicates that devour your freedom and liberty.

This latest batch of half-baked politicos is just doing what their predecessors did. It's the natural progression.

The unnatural progression is that people get angry and rip apart the institutions. We're perilously close now.

There's not going to be a Hero on a White Horse that rides in and saves the day. It's not going to happen. What will happen is that a bunch of "everyday, average" folks will say "Enough!"

Just that.

"Enough!" A bunch of little folks who the politicos and technocrats and community organizers have long thought it safe to ignore. But if enough people say it, at the same time, it gets louder.

"Enough!"

And more shrill.
"Enough!"

Then they say what they really mean. It will start as a whisper.

KYFHO

It will grow louder.

KYFHO

And louder still.

KYFHO


It will rattle the halls of power.

KYFHO


And those parasitic swine will fear the rumbling whisper.

KYFHO


Slowly it will grow louder and stronger.

KYFHO


Even as they try bury it, it will squeeze their hearts.


KYFHO


Until it rips through their power leaving only ruins.


KYFHO! KYFHO! KYFHO!


Take back your freedom, neighbors. Guard it with your lives.
