I recently circulated a petition in my neighborhood against Obama Care. You can read about this petition drive in an article that was just published by the Livingston County Press and Argus.
In response to this newspaper article, a Liberal writer (named Communications Guru) posted a comment on my blog calling me a racist. This phony charge was not unexpected. Indeed, playing the racism card is just what liberals tend to do.
Long known in America for their culture of divisive rhetoric, liberals toss out the racism card whenever they are losing a debate. Liberals never seem to want to talk about the facts, like the fact that a majority of citizens are against Obama Care. Instead, they prefer to resort to name-calling.
Liberals also know they cannot win in the arena of ideas. They know they have lost the health care debate and so do not even try to discuss important policy issues and real reforms that would make a real difference, like malpractice insurance reform, or interstate competition for health insurance, or health insurance portability. Instead, they try to shut down further discussion by bringing out their version of the nuclear option, the racism card. Apparently, the Liberal comment writer thinks that a person must be racist if he prefers to keep his own personalized health care plan rather than a one-size-fits-all government plan controlled by Washington.
But every mainstream American knows the heath care debate has nothing to do with race. Americans do not want to risk their health care by turning over control to the Washington ruling class. Americans of all colors just want to keep their right to choose the health care plan, the doctor, the hospital, and the prescription drug plan that is best suited for their families.
I will continue to discuss the issues as the other side attempts to divide America along racial lines. This Liberal will not silence my voice by hurling the racism card at me. I have endured far greater attacks against my Freedom of Speech since I started my activism earlier this year. You may recall from an earlier blog post that someone vandalized my vehicle in retaliation for voicing opposition to Obama Care. Left-wing zealots “keyed” my vehicle with racist messages such as “KKK” and “White Power.” While this hate crime caused over $3300 of damage it has not and will not prevent me from moving forward and speaking out for the rights of all Americans to choose the best health care plan for their families.
A neighborhood group is forming to fight for limited government. This includes fighting for personalized heath care choice and preventing a Washington takeover of 17% of our economy. Email wes@limitgovnow.com for details.

Americans have not said no to healthcare. They overwhelmingly support both the public option and a Medicare buy-in. Most Americans oppose “health care reform” without even knowing what it is.

It wasn’t me that played the race card, Dan. I appreciate the compliment, but it wasn’t me that gave you your name of teabaggers. Besides, teabagger sounds better than extremist, fringe rightwing tools. Americans spoke loud and clear that they wanted health care reform. Wake up and stop drinking the tea; there is no way anyone can possibly think the health care system is not broken in this country.

Kevin, the only thing more pathetic than the race card is when white people like you play it.

I guess this is your response. I never called you a racist. I said the “racist rhetoric of the baggers.” Have you ever heard the expression, “If the shoe fits?” If you want to know my name just go to my blog.
Perhaps you can explain to me how you came up with the lie that of the 40 percent of Hartland Township voters who voted for President Obama, “about 28 percent of the same voters support what he calls “a federal takeover of health care?”
If you want to see the “race card” played to an Astroturf “tea party” and read some of signs.
We have “lost the health care debate? How did you come up with that lie? We are on the verge of reforming health care like almost every president since Teddy Roosevelt has tried to do. Granted, it does not go nearly far enough, but it’s a start. Plus, the majority of Americans are on our side, despite massive misinformation and lies from teabaggers like you. Anyone who believes health care is fine as it is needs their head examined.
Malpractice insurance reform has nothing to do with health care reform. How are we “trying to shut down further discussion?” All Republicans are trying to do is stall. You can keep your own “personalized health care plan,” but the more than 50 million Americans do not have access to health care or millions more are underinsured and paying huge premiums do not have that choice. That is costing all of us. Here is the key word here: choice. You can keep your health insurance.
“Americans do not want to risk their health care by turning over control to the Washington ruling class? “ Really? Have you ever heard of Medicare? Of course you have because your party is using it to scare seniors who love it to fight health care reform.
Sorry, it’s teabaggers like you that are playing the race card and trying to divide America. You “have endured far greater attacks against your Freedom of Speech?” How am I trying to infringe on your freedom of speech? Besides, every time a tea bagger opens their mouth mainstream America sees how extreme you are.
Any proof of this alleged vandalism?
