In the last 75 years, there has been three major pieces of legislation passed with bipartisan approval; the Social Security Act of 1935, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Medicare Act of 1965. The fourth is the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act of 2010. This is a historic legislation in the fact that in both houses of Congress, not one single Republican voted for it...NOT ONE! It will go down in history as the most politically divided piece of legislation to ever get passed.

It will also eventually go down in history as the pivotal moment that brought the United States of America to its knees, both socially and fiscally. Referring to the Democratic Party, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, he infamously turned to an aide and said, “We have lost the south for a generation." Little could he know then that it would be for a lot longer. I wonder if Obama will mutter any profound prophesy to his aide?

Here is mine…

Never before in American history has the Congress and the American people been so politically divided as they are over the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Obamacare) and an administration. What Democrats fail to see or admit is that the very same sentiments that ushered in the Republicans taking both the House and Senate in 1994 are being felt by the American people today. Back then, in furthering what the press dubbed the “Republican Revolution,” Newt Gingrich and his newly emboldened conservative allies capitalized on the perception that the House Democratic leadership had engaged in corrupt practices and deception, as well as on the broad dissatisfaction among independent voters with the policies of President Bill Clinton. The Republicans are poised politically to do it again and the Democrats have nobody but themselves to blame for their ignorance for not listening to the overwhelming majority of Americans who voiced their opposition to this bill. They did so at town hall meetings, at organized protests and gatherings around the country and in Washington DC. Not to mention the recent election upsets for the Democrats in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. It begins again...

If history tells us anything, the American people have had enough of the corruption and elitism in Washington once again and the Congress will again be under Republican control come November 2, 2010. That is the coming reality of what Obama should whisper to his aide when he signs the bill… Referring to the Democratic Party, ”We have just lost control of Congress for a generation” and/or “I have just become a one-term President.”

Stupak lied the whole time!

The representative from Michigan, Bart Stupak who portrays himself as a pro-life Democrat has been lying through his teeth the whole time! He freely admits that he WILL NOT stand behind his supposed pro-life principals and vote against Obamacare. If it came down to his vote being the deciding factor, he would vote in favor of Obamacare. Well guess what...that is exactly what happened, for the most part. He made a political deal with Obama to give him a little political cover by promising to issue a toothless "executive order" that states no federal funds can be used to pay for abortions in order for him not to look like a flip-flopper on his vote. Everyone with half a brain knows that an executive order does not over ride the legislated law and is only good until the President rescinds it or leaves office. It has as much teeth as a resolution and is not binding if challenged in court. Most of the provisions in this bill don't even take effect until Obama is either re-elected or voted out of office(preferably the latter!).

This video says it all...We must take America back or the next generation will never know how great this country is.

One of the only "Rap" songs I like..."OTP"

I'm not a big "Rap" music fan, but this one I'd be happy to hear my kids listen to! I hope it becomes a viral hit on the internet and makes the young voters snap out of their Obamatron mindset.
