What’s Out Your Window?

A friend of mine commented about the neighborhood he lives in.  He said that it must be a rule to take any heated argument outside and for those involved to yell and scream as loudly as possible.

It often seems like that is what the media is trying to do with the country at large.  We all live here in this giant neighborhood of the USA with the media as our windows and doors.  So, when there is something going on we are exposed to it.  Especially when it comes to any elected officials, but often people who we consider stars or military leaders, criminals too often, other country’s leaders and occasionally regular people.  We agree on a lot of things, but we disagree about a lot too.

The Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare is one of the most contentious arguments in the window right now, but it is inextricably linked to underlying issues of liberty and control.

Like my friend’s neighborhood, where the people hear the exposed part of the fight, we get only so much from the windows of media.

Labels are impossible for me to use here, because the definitions are complicated and diverse, depending on who is reading.  For example; progressives are seen in the rosiest light to many and to the liberty minded, local control loving they are the enemy.

So, I simply say that I hope and pray for those who have the power to right the ship will do so.  Our country is no more “The land of the free, because of the brave.”

Somehow, the current administration has survived, scandal after scandal and they seem untouchable.  We are a murderous nation and it will be worse when the ACA is fully implemented.  The law has a complete strangle hold on our country already.  When implemented there will be no liberty for anyone at all.  You and I will work to pay for unspeakable evil.

Americans already subsidize abortion.  President Obama loves Planned Parenthood.  Abortion is a horrific train wreck with tragic consequences for all.  The ACA takes a leap forward in terms of killing.  Free abortions paid for by the few people who will still work.

Then there are the bell curve care charts.  They may not kill.  They may deny care based on criteria set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services. The same people who didn’t want to allow a child to have a lung transplant because she was a few months too old.

While I am not sure about whether a government shut down is the answer, the question is that important.  The strategy of shutting down parks in order to bring the entire country out to participate in the fight is intriguing.  I wonder what the test really is.

Thank God there are people thinking and not just looking out the window accepting the superficial.  Here is my view.
