If there are horses to ride where you are, or if you have wood to chop and brush to clear, I know you’re busy so I’ll be brief. Reminds me how you used to begin some of your speeches with, “As Henry the Eighth said to his wives, ‘I won’t be keeping you long.’”
I’ve been thinking about you a lot, Mr. President, especially since the Democrats’ health care reforms passed and became law. When the bill passed I cried for the first time since you left us, not just because of what it portends for the future of our country but because it begins such a shocking reversal of the America you fought so hard for and achieved.
You nailed it back in 1961 when you said, “One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. From here it’s a short step to all the rest of socialism.” You saw a Barack Obama coming."
