The desperation gets more desperate. Marketing proposals for the collectivist power-grab that is Obamacare from (where else?) the pages of Bloomberg.

Make Obamacare Cool, or Make It Hurt

First, announce and advertise that everyone between the ages of 18 and 34 who enrolls on the health-care exchanges by the end of the year is automatically entered in a lottery. Winners will receive everything from a free iPhone or iPad to a full-year of health-care underwritten by Uncle Sam. Refer a friend and get a discount. Buy one (year), get one free. In states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use -- Colorado and Washington -- by all means, throw in a bag of cannabis.

Why not throw in an offer of free oral sex from aging, ugly Bloomberg columnists?

A tip of the boonie hat to reader Jon for the link. At first I couldn't decide if this was satire or serious. After the bit about the Medicare cards, I concluded she was serious.

Anonymous said...: I really wish to hell that people would realize that Obama-don't-care is designed not for health care but health control. To ration and refuse health care to a select group of the population that I happen to be one of. Back in the 1960's in order to fund their "Great Society" the Marxist Progressives started looting the Socialist Security fund. They saw all that money just sitting there and they needed money. So it was a no brainer to the Communists in the US Congress. Saying they were only going to use a little and then a little more. By the time they were done they had taken it all and left behind IOU's. Now they have a 83 trillion dollar debt to the people they ripped off and they cannot repay it. So what to do. Write and pass a health care control bill that will in the end kill off the baby boomers faster then the statistics would dictate. If they can reduce the life expectancy of the average American then they don't have to pay the money they stole back. Actually this was the intent from the begining. At the time Socialist Security was enacted that average life span of an American male was 63 years. As they made up more then 90% of the work force at the time they were paying in the most money. The act was written to allow the drawing of benefits when the worked retired at 65. Two years beyond the life expectancy of the day. WWII saw advances in medicine that allowed Americans to live longer. This is about killing off the boomers as fast as they can. And to further control the future generations with the fear of getting sick and being refused care and treatment unless they are goot little Marxists. These are the idiots that have screamed about over population since the 60's. And this fits right into the agenda. They intend to hasten the demise of a large portion of the population over the next twenty years. They have no choice. They stole the money and now they have to prevent those that it belonged to from showing up to collect. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this law was enacted just as the bigger percentage of the boomers began to retire.; December 21, 2013 at 4:51 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
