All the Presidents of the past gather around a man sitting on a park bench. That man, with his head bowed appears distraught and hopeless as he contemplates his future. Some of the past Presidents try to console him and look in the direction of the modern Presidents as they exclaim, “What have you done?” Many of the modern Presidents behind Barack Obama seem to congratulate each other on their great success oblivious to the man on the bench. In front of the man, paper trash is blowing in the dust. Crumpled dollar bills, Amendments of the Bill of Rights and like a whisper—the U S Constitution beneath the foot of Barack Obama

Edit: Also, nobody says you have to drive just like nobody says you have to live here.
Hate to be the political a**hole here, but this picture is just simply untrue.
Yes you must have insurance to drive, but you don't have to drive. I don't want a tax on life.
Trying to control guns is like trying to control drugs, you can pass all the laws you want but the more you restrict it the worse the epidemic (violence or drugs) will get.

1.) take a look at this.
2.) it's not just about the presidents it's about the government in general. the president shouldn't be blamed for this but the government as a whole is represented by the president in the picture. in the beginning the Gov. was for the people (represented in the picture by the founding fathers and presidents on the left (notice how there are more people on the left side) the new government and modern day thinkers who seem to look more for power are represented on the left side. notice the gap between the two sides directly behind obama. the guy who drew this had specific presidents whom he believed were the ones most in favor of power to the government and began this shift away from the American people (hence them clapping). Obama not facing the man shows him not facing the people who he is there to protect (dont get me wrong i believe he really is doing what he thinks is best for us but in the words of allen grant "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions.")
It is like with a car. If you never experinced an electric window in your car you will never miss it.
They dont see the whole. You can do any kind of sport without paying alot for insurance. Most people probably think that it costs as much as normal insurance, no that is what it is for. The state and/or your employer pays one half and you pay the other. So it costs just half of what a normal insurance costs.
I had many discussions with people. They were all like "I dont want the state to make me pay for stuff" and saying you have to pay taxes and so on didnt help. But most of them also said "I dont want the state to make me buckle up, it is my safety and I decide what to do with it" seriously, that is what they said. It is like saying the government cant tell me not to kill people it is my decision if I want to kill someone. It is just senseless, they want to help and benefit you, and all the people act like they only want to do you harm.
Sick people makes a sick nation, that is why leaders of nation always try to do the best for their people, they also live in this country. And you can see what happens to leaders that dont want to do it, they get overthrown at some point.
I see you are for the state mandated seat belt law that keeps people safe. Yet I have never seen a motorcycle policeman wearing a seat belt. Well should there also be a law that says you must wash your hands after each trip to the bathroom, or a law that says no swimming 30 min after you eat. People who believe in a nanny state like you speak of remind me of a movie I saw where natural selection is no longer with apart of life.
But if Obama's health care law is some terrible unconstitutional over-reach, why not look at other president's unconstitutional over-reaches? Like say his predecessor? That administration began designating anyone they deemed suitable an 'enemy combatant' a designation that effectively stripped people of their rights under US law, even US citizens. Take the case of a guy named Jose Pedia (sp?), an american citizen, dubbed an 'enemy combatant', was arrested inside the US for no other cause. He was held for almost four years in jail without being charged, without access to an attorney or given any other constitutional protection due an american citizen (which is supposed to be defended by the govt!). And yes, he was eventually charged and convicted of something, but only after four years and several groups threatened to sue the govt. That is f*ing unconstitutional, and if it can happen to one US citizen, it can happen to any of us. His only problem was not being white, so most people didn't give a shit or even take notice in the first place.
For whatever my 2 cents is worth on a 7 month old post is....
But if you're still reading this I'm betting your real question is what the hell am I doing posting this kind of rambling nonsense at 11:30 on a friday night? Yeaaaaah, I can't really answer that either;)
