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.
