As I lay in bed on Thursday night trying to think about how to make my blog something that will make people want to read it, something that will help it stand out from the thousands of other blogs out there, I farted. My wife and I had a 10-minute conversation about a fart altering machine like the one that you see on TV when they want to hide someone’s identity. Only this machine would make my farts sound like one of dogs barking or my phone ringing or the guy from the First 48 (on A & E) saying “Dead” (inside joke).

I am just getting over something that hit me yesterday afternoon like a ton of bricks. At first I thought it was the hot sausage I had for lunch. But it soon started making me feel bad all over, not just my tummy. Next think I know, I am taking off of work early and crashing sideways on my bed at 3:00 in the afternoon. Whatever this is/was, sapped every ounce of energy out of me.

Make no mistake, health care reform is a hot button issue for me. There are dozens of reasons why I oppose Obamacare. When the President of the United States appoints people like Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, who believes that health care should be doled out based upon age and whether or not they can be productive members of society, to high ranking positions which will potentially make such decisions it scares me. It scares me a lot. Health care is a big big part of my life. In fact, heath care was the sole driving force behind my decision to go to work for state government. Little did I know at the time that it would be one of the best things every to happen to me, but I digress. The point is, this administration and the Democrats in Congress are trying to shove a government take over of the health care system down our throats. A take over that has failed all around the world. So yes, I am very concerned when the views of Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel predominates a government that will sooner rather than later be forced to ration care. It shakes me to my core to think that the government will decide to not allow my disabled wife to get the necessary treatment because in their view, her life is somehow less worthy of receiving care simply because of her disability.

I read yesterday where Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) said, "We're almost reaching a revolution in this country,” when speaking at a town hall meeting in his district. I don’t think he has any idea exactly the scope of the revolution. I advocate for voting every member out of Congress in 2010. Sure, there are men and women from both parties who oppose this plan and who truly believe that big government is not the answer. However, it is time that the American people took back its government. It is time for us to stand up and show who is in charge and that we are not going to take our supposed representatives run rough shot over our rights and our lives with their corruption and their lies. It is time we send a clear message to career politicians that we are not going to accept business as usual.
