Move over, Hitler, Stalin, Chairman Mao, Mussolini, and Castro.
There’s a new thug on the block...Max Baucus: card-carrying member of our democratic (autocratic) Congress - demonstrating an appalling abuse of government power, and intruding into the private sector once again.
In a thugocracy (thug-oc-cracy) they use investigations and gag orders, instead of boxcutters and brass knuckles; but their intent and purpose remains the same- the vicious, dictatorial suppression of one's right to disagree.
Baucus - the tyrannical Senate Finance Committee chairman - has requested an investigation of Humana, a Kentucky-based health insurance company, for simply telling the truth.
Humana's "speech crime" was indeed grievous: informing its customers (via mailer) that Baucus' unconstitutional health care proposal threatens their Medicare-Advantage benefits- a fact that outraged the Montana senator, who at once "took action," and sicced the almighty Obama (and the feds) upon them.
HHS (Health and Human Services Department) immediately ordered (censored) Humana to "stop such mailings."
Baucus justified his cowardly act, saying (quote)..."It is wholly unacceptable for insurance companies to mislead seniors regarding any subject, particularly on a subject as important to them, and to the nation, as health care reform."
Seig Hiel! Welcome to Germany...circa 1938. Brownshirts anyone?
Instead of Christal Nacht (forbidden book-burning) we are witnessing "postal-nacht," preventing a private enterprise to LEGALLY communicate by mail.
Anti-president Obama - no longer tolerant of free speech - threatens a full frontal Whitehouse attack against anyone who disagrees with him, as he directs his HHS goons in their assault against hapless Humana.
Sure, just make an example out of them...let 'em know Big Brother is watching all.
If anyone dare dissent, beware...thug Obama is coming to shut you down - if not imprison you - or at least cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees; a tactic he learned in Chicago. A threat loud and clear to all who erroneously believe we are still protected by the First Amendment.
But in the age of Obama, is it really that shocking that a U.S. Senator would use the power of his office to suppress the dissenting views of a private company, simply for disagreeing with his analysis of pending legislation?
Uncork the Dom (Perignone)! Fascism is now en vogue in our new Amerika!
Humana "foolishly" was mistaken in informing its seniors about the coming horrors under Obamacare - hence, CEO Michael McCallister had better hire a crackerjack team of lawyers.
Count on Baucus and the Obama Administration to make Humana an object lesson before the rest of the health insurers - meaning they won't stop until McCallister humbly geneflects beneath them - or is fired.
Obama could care less about the First Amendment; or for that matter, the entire Constitution itself - a document written to limit government.
Since he first ran for office, Barack Obama has litigated, lied, and intimidated his way across the political landscape. So why should anybody be surprised by his use of goon squads to squelch critics? He's Chicago-made, media-sculpted, and feels he's absolutely above all criticism -blithely using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights.
Or how about the other congressional thug from San Francisco? Nancy (Nazi) Pelosi, who on a Monday night last July, ordered a spontaneous vote, then had her Democrat stooges shut down the U.S. House of Representatives, rather than allow any dissenting Republican congressmen to speak on the floor.
What could have been so offensive (or frightening) that Pelosi felt she had to protect her party by gagging free speech in the House?
Simple; Pelosi - our All-Amerikan Speaker - wanted to deny the members, the media, and the public to right to read questionable, anti-Constitutional legislation before it was voted on.
The House had been set to discuss Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s gaffe, a candid statement where he had said (quote)..."if any Members were required to read the Democrats’ healthcare reform package, BEFORE it was voted on, it would fail."
Thus, the Speaker obviously felt that if anyone were truly aware of her party’s agenda, they would reject it. Ever since she assumed the gavel in January of '07, Pelosi has kept the public in the dark by her dictatorial trampling of the centuries-old democratic traditions of the House.
So where are we headed America? Once we lose our rights under the First Amendment - think about it; think about it VERY SERIOUSLY- it will literally require the use of force - yes, rebellion - to get them back!
Once entrenched, dictators NEVER willingly cede their power.
The Whitehouse, the Senate, the House are literally crawling with these Stalinist, atheist politician-criminals, who will stop at nothing until they force all of us against the wall of our constitutionally-guaranteed rights, and are more than willing to dispatch armed men in uniforms to force their will upon us.
The liberal media mocks those bearing signs of protest - signs calling these radicals what they really are: usurpers of the Constitution, expanding the federal government until someone (or something) has courage enough to stand in their way.
Barack Obama's brand of "politics" - beneath his empty rhetoric of change - has brought the old Soviet Union to America, and it's coming to a neighborhood near you - if it isn't already there.
