As I try to digest the disgust I feel about the SCOTUS
ruling letting ObamaCare stand I have to reflect on part of a writing by Charles
Dickens in his A Tale of Two Cities:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was
the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season
of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had
everything before us, we had nothing before us….”
The Supreme Court is our last defense against the power
grabbing pollution of the political class.
They have failed us and possibly all future generations. I have been an inhabitant of this world for
over three quarters of a century. As
Dickens wrote, “We had everything before us, we had nothing before us.” The latter is where we are today. With this decision the Supremes have opened
the flood gates for Government, at any level, to usurp our sacred rights
granted by the Constitution. The
Constitution, primarily the Bill of Rights, appears to be dead. Hence forth any bill Congress wants to use to
gain power they will make it a form of a tax.
Give up your firearms or pay a penalty (Tax). Where will it all stop? I, for one, cannot see an end to the desecration
of our most important document. “It was
the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
We are now expected to accept the latter. Damn, I’m depressed.
