Prostitution Legalized in DC

A gang of thieves

As the Senate Health Care “Reform” legislation makes its halting way through a Senate choked with payoffs to compliant members, popular opposition to the measure continues to grow.

Yet, despite the vocal opposition of more than 60% of the American people, the Obama Administration, with congressional assistance from the Reid-Pelosi cabal, continue to push for the health care takeover. Senate Majority Leader Harry (D-NV), told reporters after a recent vote in the small hours of the morning that once the people knew the provisions of the bill, they would support it.

Huh? Did I hear the Senate Majority Leader say that he is pushing a one trillion dollar takeover of the U.S. health care industry, and the details of the bill are unknown to the people?

How could it be that the details of the bill remain unknown? In fact, the details of the bill are unknown to many of the democrat senators who will vote for it, let alone the republican senators or anyone else. How can this be true?

Do we not have a vigorous and curious adversary press, eager to find the steamy details of every bill appropriating the people’s money? Do we not have a dauntless press digging into every story to reveal the truth, to shine the light of day on the workings of government? Do we not have a press corps working diligently to scrub corruption and privilege from the workings of congress? Do we not have a press corps working tirelessly to claim the next breaking front page story or to win the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism?

Regrettably, the answer is decidedly NO! What we have is a compliant press corps, reduced to cheer leading the Obama Administration and passing over any details that may cause a blemish on the historic president. Instead of a vigorous watch dog press corps, we have a lapdog press corps content to roll over on its back and beg for crumbs. As an institution, the American press is guilty of gross, near-criminal dereliction of its duty to the people. Because it is the people to whom the press has a duty. It is not their duty to prop up the presidency of Barak Obama as an arm of the state-sponsored propaganda industry. It is their duty to reveal the truth to the people of the republic.

How else could the president make such definitive claims about a health care “reform” bill, about which no details have been made public? How can he claim definitively that there are no provision to fund abortions with taxpayer funds, that people who are satisfied with their health care plans can keep them, that the “reform” is deficit neutral? (What government plan to do anything has ever been deficit neutral?)

What would have been the response of the lapdogs if George Bush had attempted such a blatant power grab?
