I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT! -- for Just A Minute Radio on Monday120702

Now the dust begins to settle from the tear-stained cheeks of those who thought the battle to get rid of OBAMA-CARE was lost last week.

 

And through the fog and dust and roller coaster feelings of the past week, a few dim figures begin to take shape and make themselves known. The first one popped up before the day was out on last Friday when it was announced Mr. Romney’s campaign monetary chests began to fill up with more contributions than anyone had thought possible.

 

Though the road ahead has many ups and downs – and twists and turns -- the uncertainties of what lies ahead are beginning to sort themselves out. For instance how much of a penalty will you have to pay if you don’t follow the governments’ instructions and pay the amount of penalty you are slugged with when the amount you owe for not buying into the government’s insurance program comes a-knocking at your door or mailbox?

 

Ummm haddn’t quite thought that out – at least I hadn’t. What other surprises will we find in the huge Obama-care bill when it becomes law? How many more staff for the IRS, with their costs and retirement incomes etc. that will have to be paid out of the treasury are yet to be calculated and explained to the public as part of the new amount of load the ‘middle class’ will have to carry and pass on to their children and grandchildren will be a part of our fiscal future.

 

These are the kinds of *surprises* yet to be discovered as we unwrap the package Ms. Nancy Pelosi said we should undertake in order to “find out what’s in the bill once it hits the fan.”  It’s all of the ‘surprise package’ to be delivered to our doorstep as we “move on” according to the President’s instructions passed down through this Administration’s load of surprises we will be saddled with as the wraps come off.

 

Of course these are the ‘little’ realities we shall find out belong to us now that the Government takes on the role of major ‘Nanny’ to the populace – we, of course, are supposed to accept each little (or big) ‘present’ directly from the “Oval Office” as an indicator of how much “Uncle O” wants to take care of looking after our welfare. Nobody but him, and those close to him, were able to see all these things headed our way.

 

Arrgh… guess I’ll stop for now. More to come later (I fear).

 

Cordially, IN HIM,

“JUST A MINUTE”

I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT!

            Just a Minute: A Revolutionary Naval Victory is the model Chief Justice Roberts followed in his upside-down ruling on “Obama Care.” Everyone thought he’d ‘abandoned ship’ – in fact, he simply moved the battle to another theater. I wrote last Friday the clear direction to maintain our freedom was espoused when Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government was bestowed upon the newly-minted nation – responded “A Republic -- Madam, if you can keep it!”

          Keeping a Republic demands attention to staying on the road. The only way to get off the ‘socialistic’ road is to do what Charles Krauthammer suggests: We’re tasked with the job of --- “Electing a new President and a new Congress!” That’s the only course open to us if we are to continue the path leading America to be the most successful self-controlled government in the last 200 years. It’s available if we want to continue on the course of Freedom. All others reveal the problems seen in Europe and emerging nations.

          This goal can only be accomplished with God’s power and leadership. <> I’m Jack Buttram.
