As Americans celebrate the Fourth of July in 2013, many are unaware that Obamacare is the law of the land. It is the nationalization of what was regarded as the finest health care system in the world and it is filled with hidden taxes, fines, the insertion of the government between patients and their physicians, and it will wreak havoc on the nation’s economy, increasing unemployment, impacting small businesses and large. Nationalization is socialism!
The protests against Obamacare gave rise to the Tea Party movement and a recent Rasmussen poll found that “26% of Obama supporters view the Tea Party as the nation’s top terror threat.” A slim majority, 51%, of likely voters, however, still regard radical Muslims to be the biggest threat.
Even more ominous is news that the U.S. agency, FEMA, has signed an agreement with the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry to provide “security at mass events.” The notion of Russian troops on U.S. soil to control Americans is an abomination. We fought a Revolution when the British did this following the Boston Tea Party.
…
On this Fourth of July we have been witness to the failed policies of the President elected in 2008 and again in 2012. His conduct is more that of a monarch or dictator, indifferent and resentful of the judiciary and of Congress. He is surrounded by appointees who oversee elements of the government that increasingly give evidence of seeing Americans as “the enemy.”
On this Fourth of July, scandals abound and remain to be investigated, from “Fast and Furious”, a gun-running scheme from within the Department of Justice to the attack on September 11, 2012 on our ambassador to Libya who died in Benghazi along with three other brave Americans. The cover-up continues.
