“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?” – Thomas Jefferson
After a weekend in which the Democratic leadership of the Senate engaged in closed-door “negotiations” to “secure” the 60 votes required to pass their sweeping “health care reform” bill, it is now a certainty that socialism will become a reality in America. Regardless of the fact that a majority of Americans are already happy with their health coverage and do not want this bill to pass, the Democratic Party plans to simply ignore the pleas of their voters and intend to ram the bill through the Senate early on the morning of Christmas Eve.

As far as Harry Reid and his radicals are concerned, the debate is over.
In essence, President Obama, Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi have kept the details of their bill hidden away from the American people, whom they hold in total contempt. They have intentionally locked the electorate out the debate because they know the American people would never allow their radical plan to leave the gate if they knew what was really coming down the road.

Reid has made back door deals with several members of his party, such as Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson, with financial earmarks to their respective states in exchange for their votes. If a private citizen does this, it is called blackmail, coercion and bribery, usually punishable by law. When Harry Reid does it with Senators, who gladly sell their votes, and souls, for the money, it is called “compromise.” They will use these purchased votes to ramrod their “hope” and “change,” better known as the failed system called Socialism, right down our throats. It is the equivalent of “flipping the bird,” not only to the Republicans and TEA Party members, but to almost 75 percent of the American electorate who oppose this measure.
This corrupt “legislation” is just the…
