As the pre-presidential campaign winds on, Hillary Clinton has revealed her plan for health care: a Nazi state in which failing to carry health care would become a criminal act. All the while, the left has been cheering her on, and accusing anyone NOT on the left of misogyny for daring to question Hillary. For the sake of this article, and sensibilities, I will avoid invoking the "B" word as applies to Ms. Clinton, as there are several other more creative and descriptive labels that apply. None of them flattering. I will also avoid invoking the similar sounding "W" word, as I have far too much respect for most of the Wiccans I have known than to create an unflattering comparison to Ms. Clinton.
Aside from Hillary Health Care being outright plagiarism (it's a virtual copy of something John Edwards had already proposed), it is further evidence of the fact that the former first lady is bought and sold by corporate America. Because only one group REALLY stands to benefit. And it ain't the common person, with whom Hillary has tried to identify herself.
I don't need to go to Ann Coulter's site. I don't need to go to Rush Limbaugh's site. For the data on THIS particular fact, I only need bring forth evidence from the lefty pied piper, a source that most Democrats seem to consider impeachable: Michael Moore. According to his website, in the first quarter of 2007, Hillary Clinton was the number one beneficiary of donations from the health care industry: a whopping $848,872. Her buddy John Edwards, who's good enough to steal from but not good enough to avoid negative campaign tactics from his Senatorial comrade, came in sixth, with $212,200. These candidates who are trying to invoke populist appeal are, in other words, anything but populists. They are bought and sold by corporate interests, a trait they loathe in Republicans. While they claim that Republicans are bought and sold by Exxon, Texaco, and Halliburton, they are bought and sold by Aetna, State Farm, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield (as well as Exxon, Texaco, and Halliburton...but that's another blog entirely).
While I am not a Michael Moore fan, Moore's approach at least centers on providing health care for all Americans. Moore's approach is basically good ol' socialism, which, for all its flaws, is at least honest. Hillary's approach furthers the economic feudalism that fuels our country; should she have her way, the poor will suffer even further while the corporations will roll in the money gleaned through an unfair monopoly from the very people whose labor supports this country.
Hillary uses the analogy of auto insurance, which is inappropriate for several reasons. First and foremost, because driving a vehicle is a privilege, not a right, as our former driver's ed instructors were quick to remind us. Last I checked, living is a right. Oh yeah. It bears prominent mention in the Declaration of Independence.
Hillary's analogy is also inappropriate because there is no federal law mandating insurance on the books. In fact, insurance laws vary from state to state, and even in the states with the most stringent insurance policies, there are other options available to you, as long as the state is assured that you have provided financial responsibility for your vehicle.
As long as we continue to support politicians who feed corporate America rather than work for the interests of the citizens, our government will continue to worsen, rather than improve. Hillary Clinton is no American savior; she is a traitor whose proper place is at the end of a noose rather than in the White House, in my extremely arrogant, biased opinion.
But don't worry. She has plenty of partners in her treason. Most who do NOT share her gender. And at least one of which with whom she has shared a bed.
