It's a freedom issue, not a health-care issue

It's a freedom issue, not a health-care issue


''Like most people who have finally stopped celebrating the election of America's first "black" president, Limbaugh sees a landslide for Republicans in 2010. But the one thing he did not say – something that I've been warning about since BHO was elected – is that there may not be elections in 2010.''

I caught the last part of Chris Wallace's interview with Rush Limbaugh last Sunday and was pleased to have it confirmed as being a huge success. That confirmation came from David Axelrod on CBS' "Face the Nation" when he dismissed Limbaugh as an entertainer.
Said Axelrod, "He does it every day on radio. He's
marketing the outrageous. And he does very well with it. But, as I said, he's an entertainer. We've got bigger responsibilities."
Funny, and here all this time I thought it was BHO who was marketing the outrageous, with government-run
health care being his latest ShamWow. But there's no question that BHO and The Boys have bigger responsibilities – like, for example, fundamentally changing a democratic republic into a socialist police state.
One thing kids should be taught at a young age is that when someone belittles another person's words and dismisses him as a kook, an entertainer or "not a serious person," it's usually a sign of fear, jealousy or both. Intelligent, mature adults of goodwill do not dismiss opposing viewpoints. They listen, weigh what the other person has to say, then, if warranted, express their disagreement in a civilized manner.
What would it look like if the federal behemoth were severely cut down to size? Read Wayne Allyn Root's prescription for the nation in "The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gambling & Tax Cuts"
The far left is almost embarrassingly childish in using the same old, not-so-clever tactic against everyone who opposes its views, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck being two other prominent targets that come to mind.
What is obvious to anyone who doesn't wear a Marxist
pacemaker is that, in reality, the White House and the progressive Congress are terrified of folks like Limbaugh, Palin and Beck – not to mention John Stossel, Sean Hannity and a long list of conservative talk-radio hosts – and, of course, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Sen. Jim DeMint and a number of other libertarian-centered conservatives operating in the belly of the beast. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115131
