Technically you are not supposed to be able to have two bodies occupy the same space. That is, unless you are studying the quantum physics of particles cohabitating parallel overlapping universes, or you are a doublespeak politician trying to have opposing constituencies believe you support all their differing world visions.

It’s that way with Barack Obama. He says he is FOR single payer healthcare. AND he says he is AGAINST single payer healthcare. How can he do that you may ask? Hmmmm.

It is said politics is a lot like theater. Politicians like to pretend to be people they are not.

Speaking of theater, there was another actor we know, who didn’t ever waiver from his singular vision. His view of healthcare, as well as America was vastly different from our current president. The video that follows shows the philosophies of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama side by side—interesting stuff.

Thank you Ronald Reagan. You are missed.

When the last Swine Flu epidemic played through America, far more people died from the vaccine than from any outbreak.

And now we have the Obama administration’s overly orchestrated reaction to insignificant rates of a new Swine Flu infection. They seem “way too eager” to wield the power and privileges that could arise from an emergency epidemic. They are talking mandatory vaccines, mandatory quarantines.

Meanwhile, we have current vaccine producers leaking to the press that they wouldn’t want themselves or their families to take the newest Swine Flu prevention measures. These manufacturers already know that many people will die from proven lethal vaccination side effects. At the same time, rumors of U.N. “depopulation” schemes are firing the wires of the internet. Also, people are nervous by the invasive and oft draconian health care policies spelled out in the current prospective federal health care legislation. Distrust of government is rampant.

It is bad enough, throughout the country, we have spent recent years questioning the wisdom and safety of mandatory school vaccinations as anecdotal evidence mounts showing direct correlation between the epidemic of autism and learning disabilities being linked directly to chemical components within those current medical protocols.

But public anxiety is compounded by a government whose past health policies have a tarnished history regarding questions of both efficacy and integrity. This government has medically experimented on it’s own people with syphillis, LSD, covert sterilization, and radiation.

One therefore has to wonder what would happen if the Swine Flu threat ever really turned out to be real.

Voluntary vaccination has always worked very well for all free peoples in the past. That should be the preferred means of dealing with the issue particularly since most people these days think that government behavior is actually a far greater threat than any medical virus.

Yet here we have the state of Massachussetts, the showcase model for what might be national socialized medicine promoting a thuggish public vaccination policy—quarantine, jail and excessively heavy daily fines assessed the citizen until vaccination compliance is established.

If the policy is this tyrannical now, imagine the joy of complete irretractable jack boot nurture. It’s not looking pretty.

Ted…is dead. Ted Kennedy, the Lying, er Lion, um a.k.a. the Great Big Pussy of the Senate… will be coughing up fur balls no more.

And oh, oh, oh wouldn’t it be great, wouldn’t be magical, wouldn’t it just swoon…just swoon all naysayers if Congress could just name the pending healthcare after the great man himself. Think about it…

Once upon a time, 1969, in a place called Chappaquiddick, a possibly, probably intoxicated Kennedy, like our own spend whoosey legislators, was driving his vehicle from one location to another.

Just like government is not supposed to involve itself in private insurance, Ted took car keys from his chauffer and offered a ride to the carless Mary Jo Kopechne. That was such a grand gesture.

Just like our government that wants to fix “small” problems in our healthcare system, problems actually caused by previous government interventions, to fix them by totally changing the nature of our healthcare—Ted…Ted drove the car off the main road, off a bridge into a tidal pool thus testing how well a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 would convert into a submarine. It was a bold and innovative move. No doubt, he was testing new ideas for the military…ever the hard working public servant!!

Just like our poor legislators are currently plagued with vicious rumors of pay offs, power grabs, hidden agendas, and a purported end game resembling nothing that actually helps people, poor Ted Kennedy was plagued with rumors of Kopechne’s pregnancy, strange blood evidence on Kopechne’s body not consistent with drowning, and ever disappearing crime scene evidence.

Poor, poor Ted, like our current legislators…so misunderstood. Poor, poor Ted, like our current legislators, so attacked by despicable opponents who cruely wish to pursue questions beyound the scope of the obviously “truthful” cover story.

Yes, should our legislators, like Ted, discover that socialized medicine ruins the level of care for all, like Oldsmobiles don’t make good subs, no doubt they will let us know how much they dived under the heavy, cold layers of suffocating bureaucracy to prevent the deaths of innocent people. The people will still be dead. But, we will know the nobility of their effort, for after all, they are from the government and they are here to help us.

Yes, let us put the Senator’s name on any full or incremental attempts to convert America’s medical system to single payer healthcare system, We should call it DEAD TED MED and it will become the law of the land. We are all aquiver with anticipation.

Memorializing Mr. Kennedy in this way would be so very fitting. Do it Democrats. Do it now!!!

Sincerely,
