Congressional Democrats have passed so called Health Care Reform legislation and Progressives and Liberals are hailing it as a great victory. Well, the existence of a victor presupposes the existence of the vanquished. Such an immense success surely warrants investigation; so let’s explore the nature of this victory, the victor and the vanquished.

WHO

Political leftists of all stripes are, undoubtedly, the winners in this social and political battle. The legislation has been voted on and, even if by the strictest of party lines, has passed. House and Senate versions must be reconciled, no easy task to be sure, but Democrats are confident and still riding high on the wings of their “victory.”

So…who are the vanquished? It is the American people who have been defeated. Period! An over-whelming majority of the American public is “uneasy” about further government involvement in their health care with a solid majority out and out opposing more government involvement. Democrats have succeeded in overcoming the obvious will of the American people who they are supposed to represent. That brings us to another victim in this struggle: Representative government. But it is in actuality more of a transformation rather than a defeat. We now see operating “special interest” representative government. The will of the governed no longer matters, at least not to the Liberals.

WHAT

The object of victory is legislation which brings the USA by leaps and bounds towards a more thoroughly socialized health care system. Progressives and liberal Democrats move us by design in the direction of European style health care. This comparison makes them nervous for obvious reasons. Where ever socialized health care has been implemented it has proven disastrous. The idea is not new and untried and there’s no need to take my word for it. Please feel free to consult Mao, Lenin or Hitler for verification.

I am compelled to point out just where in the entire world those who are sick and suffering desire to come for treatment…the United States of America! We enjoy the most advanced level of medical care in the world. This is the same care over which the Democrats now claim “victory.”

WHEN

“To the victor go the spoils” the old adage tells and we would expect this political battle to be no different: only it is different. For the so called victors in this struggle do not plan to claim their spoils until after the next presidential elections. Curious! What possible motive could they have for delaying implementation if what they have won is so grand?

In summary I wish to draw attention to the modus operandi of Social Progressives in our nation over the past several decades. Like a malignancy socialistic ideas have lurked, sustained by the healthy host of a free capitalistic society. And like a cancer leftist ideas have attacked the host. If unable to infect the heart the disease takes hold where ever possible and grows. Just as an undetected cancer destroys the life of the host, and thus its own life, so the destruction caused by Progressive ideas has begun. We see it clearly manifested in atrocious public schools, in propagandizing universities and in social programs which have produced nothing but a systematic enslavement of the poor and disadvantaged.

While the Left celebrates we might well ask just how many more of these “victories” our nation can withstand!
