EMOTIONAL TIES

The easiest way to know when your freedom is being stolen? When the proponents for the thievery of your freedom try to get you emotionally involved. For instance, when they talk about how people can't make their bills making minimum wage, or how many people are living without health insurance (without telling you that most of them are young kids who don't care that they make minimum wage or that they don't have health insurance). This typically results in decisions that give more power to the politicians and take power away from the people, but we all feel better for having helped the poor. Stop selling your freedom for feel good political decisions. Stop and think things out logically. Use the internet and do some research. Universal health care puts the government in control of life or death decisions related to your life or your loved ones lives - does that sound logical to let the government have that much control?? All because some people don't have health insurance? How about being forced to buy health insurance even when you don't want it. I'm sure the insurance companies love it, but where in the Constitution do the politicians have the right to usurp our own decision-making power over our own lives??? These politicians are out of control, and worse yet people have learned nothing from Hitler's reign. If we should have learned anything from Hitler, it should be 1) there are always evil people in this world and we have to be prepared to defend against them and 2) if we don't think logically, we can be misled because of our emotions. Hitler fed off the Great Depression's despair and poverty by finding a scapegoat that the entire German population could blame for it - the Jews. Before they knew what was happening, Hitler was using the public schools to propagandize the German children, he was removing Christianity and replacing it with pagan rituals, and thousands of Germans were participating in the slaughter of men, women and children all based on their illogical emotional hatred of a people blamed for something they had nothing to do with. Wake up America. Stop being led around by your emotions and start using your brains.
