History in the Making

I love the phrase “history in the making.” It is attached to events that are deemed to have such significant impact on society that the event will be remembered forever more. The event will be written into history books and taught to future generations; not just to remember that the event happened, but for the changes the event caused and the lessons learned from the event.

These are exciting times, from a historical perspective. We are witnessing “history in the making” as this Democrat congress tries to apply the so-called Slaughter rule and “pass” health care reform without an up or down vote. Wow! Our elected officials are subverting the Constitution. Current events are breathtaking. If “health” “care” “reform” is passed without a vote, the American people will rise up and protest like never before in my lifetime. The majority of Americans do not want this bill. The majority of Americans recognize this as a massive tax on future generations. The majority of American people know that at the core of this “reform” is secrecy, corruption and lies. And yet, here we are.

All of this reminds me of the new Tim Burton film, Alice In Wonderland. I haven’t seen it. I am familiar with Disney’s fanciful animated version from years ago. The trailers of Tim Burton’s version look very dark and distorted; kind of like Nightmare Before Christmas meets Edward Scissorhands. For instance, I am listening to a Democrat House member on the radio right now saying he hasn’t decided how he is going to vote because he wants to know what his constituents want. He hasn’t figured that out yet? Has he fallen down the rabbit hole into some dark place taken over by Nancy Pelosi in the role of the Red Queen? For him to say he wants to know what his constituents think about health care reform tells me he is completely detached from reality. (Him and every other Democrat.)

If only all of this were just a Hollywood remake of a little girl’s bad dream. Unfortunately it is reality. I can’t wait to see what the American people do. Whatever the outcome, I predict these events will live in infamy.
