Letter: Nationalized health care? It will ensure less freedom
Friday, 07 August 2009 04:00

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following letter is in response to a July 29 missive from the White House titled “What Health Insurance Reform Means to You.”

Mr. President, with all due respect...

No. Nationalized health care means more loss of freedom! In this case, our unalienable Health Freedoms!
Please tell me:

• Why should We the People trust the government with control over our unalienable health freedoms, when its alphabet soup organizations like the FDA and AMA approve poisons to be included in our foods and medicines?

• Why should We the People trust the government with control over our unalienable health freedoms, when we know minimal control will eventually grow into maximum control? (“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” — Lord Acton

• Why should We the People trust the government to effectively and efficiently manage our health freedoms for us, when health care costs were not a problem before the government got involved in the first place, and further when it cannot even properly manage the national economy (or for that matter nearly anything it attempts to manage)?

We the People who acknowledge and understand the war on liberty, which has existed since the dawn of man, and which includes the unalienable right to life, will continue to resist the ever continuing advance of Socialism and Fascism in America -- it is our duty as Americans to do so!

“If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being a gift of God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.” —Samuel Adams

Just say no to tyranny!
