Obama Baits Civil War

Since the beginning of his presidential bid (Wilmette), Obama has frequently implied self-comparisons and invited media-assisted comparisons (Newsweek, CBS, L.A. Times) to Lincoln. Now, in a Christian Science Monitor headline, we find another point of similarity: States Rebel Against Washington

With the passage and signing of the "ObamaCare" bill, the states - beginning with Virginia - have been moved to assert the rights of their citizens over the federal law, particularly on the issue of the individual mandate.

Speaker Pelosi's butchering of the words of that venerable Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, warrant special attention. In a disgusting paraphrase from the Declaration of Independence, she said:

...we will honor the vows of our founders, who in the Declaration of Independence said that we are ‘endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ This legislation will lead to healthier lives, more liberty to pursue hopes and dreams and happiness for the American people.


But, if delivered with honesty, here is how the speech would have went...

Herewith is established a C change in American sovereignty. Now with this act of Congress - however shamefully it was executed - the Federal Government now has a stake in the maintenance of the very bodies of each and every one of the U.S. citizenry. Henceforth, the citizen is a subject, on this most fundamental level. People of America, go to hellth with your unalienable rights. Your life is a ward of the state. Your happiness consists in the pursuit of hellth insurance. Your are at liberty to choose government sanctioned hellth care.

Never mind the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence is Null and Void!
