Have you ever seen the movie, “Braveheart” starring Mel Gibson as a Scottish commoner – William Wallace – who becomes disenfranchised (to say the least) with the English occupation of his country? The movie includes a ruthless king and a bunch of weasely Noblemen who take bribes in order to maintain their positions of power…they favored their perceived security over their actual liberty. In reality, the Noblemen’s security was actually in question, as it may have been their head on a stick – literally – were they to disobey the King. In the end, the Wallace character exacts revenge on the Noblemen, is betrayed by another Nobleman with political ambitions, and is eventually disemboweled in public – but he does manage to free his country.

The following quote I have seen before, and there may be some doubt as to its origins, which I don’t really care to debate…the quote itself is sound:

 Alexander Fraser Tyler, Cycle Of Democracy (1770)

In America, we currently have a dangerous combination of the weasley Nobleman and the apathetic public. The “historic” vote by Nobleperson Pelosi, at the direction of King Obama, and with 215 other of the weaseliest, whiniest, spine-free Nobles in the world, just pushed with a mighty heave-ho the country from apathy to dependency. Whether you like it, or whether you even realize it, you have just become DEPENDENT on the Noblemen for your health. (Side note – the Noblemen are exempt from their plan….they will receive excellent health care for the rest of their lives at YOUR expense.)

Those of us who did not want to be dependent on Big Nanny…guess what? Not only are your health care costs and premiums going to increase, you are also going to be paying the costs for an additional 30 Million more dependents. This is going to get UGLY…very ugly. Because I make a daily choice to exercise, watch my diet, avoid smoking, and maintain a healthy lifestyle…now, as an American, I get to pay into a system in which those who purposefully choose to ruin their health can do so at my expense. What a great system…thanks Noblemen. The Noblemen on one side will be in charge of health and medicine…and Nobleman McCain (supposedly on the other side, but not really) will be in charge of supplements and protein powder. Either way, THEY will determine your path. Freedom and Liberty are not just words; they actually mean something. From now on, anytime my doctor refuses to give me liposuction, rhinoplasty, or a gluteal implant, Senators and Congressmen – you will be getting a phone call complaining about the lack of medical professionalism showed to me; you have all become full-time mediators between patient and doctor.

Finally, while I am on the subject of English Noblemen, what in the heck is going on in the entertainment industry? Why do weasely Englishmen dominate certain programs in which they judge Americans? Examples include, most famously, Simon on the karaoke show, Piers on the talent show, Len on the dancing show…and even the Super Nanny. There was even another English guy on last night telling the lunch ladies in a West Virginia city to stop feeding the chubby kids pizza for breakfast. Since when did England regain moral superiority over America…do we really need their help…do we really care what they think, or care how it is done in the U.K. ?? (More on that subject in an upcoming blog).

Apparently, 216 American Noblemen want desperately to follow the English lead when it comes to Nationalized Healthcare. I will wager that the pee-ons and subjects in their home districts are about to apply justice to their local Noblemen with tiny little plastic hole-pokers, rather than large steel hole pokers (except in Florida, where punching holes in paper still seems too difficult a task to muster).  I suppose the small plastic pokers make less of a mess, but a part of me wonders if the William Wallace-style of retribution would create a deeper level of commitment to the pursuit of right and wrong by said weasels.

I also have to wonder if Nancy Pelosi bombarded the Noblemen’s e-mail in-boxes with video after video of Simon Cowell and Super Nanny dishing out – with thick Birmingham brogues – stern rebukes and veiled threats of what might happen if they didn’t vote against the wishes of their tea-bagging constituents. I wonder if Mrs. Pelosi will be surprised when even her radical supporters start filling large, heavy bags of Earl Grey. I also hope she will be lenient when it comes to rationing out dental care…I wouldn’t want her professionally polished and whitened smile to be routinely compared in the news media to that of legendary Englishman, Austin Powers.

Now that politicians and Noblemen are in charge of health care, it is time to bring in Darth Vader (or Dick Cheney) to be the Rationer-in-Chief. Remember, once the government has control of your health care, they will also be able to CONTROL your health care. When some evil, right wing, baby-haters are elected, they will be able to make deep, serious, dangerous, child-starving, draconian, old-people-have-to-eat-dog-food type decisions…and when real, live adults are finally elected to office, and realize they have a 14 TRILLION dollar debt to clean up, and serious, tough decisions have to be made, gone will be the days of laying on your sofa, guzzling high fructose corn syrup, cramming hydrogenated trans-fat glucose into your face. You, Citizen, will comply with the diet, exercise, and supplement procedure Big Nanny has designed, or you will be jailed (where the government will force you to lay around, drink soda, and eat junk).

We, as Americans, have spent millions of lives and dollars to throw off the tyranny of all-powerful government, centralized control and command, Big Nanny, and outrageous taxation; these brave acts are what our country was founded upon.  I mistakenly have thought all along that America won the Revolutionary War. Now, 234 years later, the best our politicians can do for us is stand up and proudly sing (under the watchful eye of Simon, Len, and Piers, or course) “God Save the Queen.”
