Obama’s Social Healthcare: A Modern Day Trojan Horse

“Do not trust the horse, Trojans. Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts.”
Virgil (70 to 19 B.C.)
Famous Roman Poet
For those who may not recall history, the Greeks sought a way to penetrate the walls of Troy. Odysseus had a huge wooden horse made that was left hollow inside so Greek troops could hide within it. They left the statue full of soldiers on the shores of Troy along with a single man, Sinon. The Greeks sailed away to make it appear that they had given up.
Sinon told the people of Troy that the Greeks had abandoned him and that the horse would act as a good luck charm for them. After some deliberation, the horse was drug into the inner city and the gates closed. The Trojans celebrated their apparent success, and it was when most of them were asleep that Sinon opened up the horse and left the Greek soldiers out. The rest is history.
Think about the Trojan horse when people make unreasonable promises that you know cannot happen. Take the public option healthcare program proposed by leading Democrats. They say it will not add one penny to our national debt… but is that a reasonable statement? They say it will provide better coverage, but does history bear that out with regards to other nations who have done this? NO!
Someone has drug the Trojan Horse into the middle of Washington. Are you going to let them succeed in killing our healthcare system just so certain top leaders have control of every aspect of our lives? They’re after our bodies, and that’s no joke. Once they do this, they will determine if you donate your organs. In China, for example, they have been known to remove organs from prisoners and to sell them for tens of thousands of dollars.
Are you going to let them do this sort of thing here? Better look at the potential outcome before you sign on to something so radically different as social medicine. Like our parents and grandparents use to warn us, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!”
Don’t let them drag that Trojan Horse into your home or business, or your doctor’s office or local hospital.
Stop this madness before it consumes us all. Socialism does not work on Earth. It was never meant to provide what it promises. Like politics itself, Socialism is but a tool to be used by a select few to control the many.
