Ya know, Perry, up until the Fifties, no one ever gave a thought to the guvmint being responsible for all the deaths from storms, all the property losses, all the wages lost, etc. And the reason they didn’t was because IT’S NOT THE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY! But they understood that back then, before the politicians (both sides) started buying votes with taxpayer monies.

Now, half the folks depend on the guvmint to wake them up in the morning, fix their coffee, supply their breakfast, buy their house and car so they can go buy their food stamp groceries, pay for their cigs and cable, etc., etc., etc.

And you wonder why people like me get upset?

I’m still holding out hope, though most likely futile, that my state, SC, will have the gonads to secede again before the tin horn dictator begins to confiscate firearms, property, businesses, all food and water sources, etc. Obamacare is just one of the many things we have to be fearful of in this new hopey, changey America.

Secede? Right, until the next devastating hurricane strikes SC, or until the next epidemic takes hold, or until major infrastructure repairs are required by SC, or even until a revolt by the disenfranchised and neglected gets violent. And who will defend you from attack by foreign terrorists/enemies?

In unity comes strength, but also involves that dirty word: compromise!

My state even has a doctor for guvner whose nickname is “Doctor Death” because he’s such an outspoken advocate of medical murder, a.k.a. “assisted suicide.” That doesn’t speak well of the chances he or the legislators will want to mess with the coming “death for the greater good” panels.
