What a line from the Russell Crowe movie Gladiator. The phrase does ring true. Whatever so little or so much we do carries forward and impacts our lives. If the action is significantly bad or good it can infect those around us. That leads to my point here.
One of the defects of liberal thought is to do first for the greater good inspite knowledge of possible collateral damage. I can point to numerous pet projects throughout the decades that liberals have begun "Causes" against and ended up with disastrous results. Nancy Pelosi famously said,"you have to pass the bill to know what's in it", suggesting that she was comfortable being ignorant of how Obamacare would impact Americans that were not needing her parties help. As the Pandoras box that the ACA is begins to open, we are just beginning to see how the progressive mindset can damage those it never intended to help.
Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote in his book "The Anointed", about how environmentalists in the 70's made it their cause to rid the world of DDT. Long story short the banning of DDT caused hundreds of thousands to die from starvation in Africa due to crop failures from insects. Humans died for the sake of bald eagle eggs in North America. To me it's not shocking that the presidents press secretary Jay Carney would just dismiss the fact that five percent of the population was losing it's affordable health insurance. The have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet to the tenth degree.
I was asked the other day by a group of men here where I right my blog if I thought that these failures are glitches or purposeful. I didn't think twice and said they were done on purpose. Most people don't know the story of how Obamacare was passed. The dirty change of events that caused it's passage. I just learned of it myself from former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown interview on Hannity. When the Senator won the special election in 2010 the Massachusetts legislature held up his confirmation for 21 days. Fight after fight to get him seated the Democrats delayed it and got enough votes to ram Obamacare home.
We have to begin preparations in our own lives to combat and defeat this liberal agenda. Last year I wrote about being active politically by simply speaking to and trying to convince friends and family. That is now imperative of us all to start that process in earnest. 2014 is around the corner and libertarians and conservative and us realist must win.
