Over the years, this “holiday” called Halloween has become the ultimate day of distraction for scores of millions of otherwise normal, thinking Americans.
Halloween is bigger than Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter combined. Nothing in the Jewish or Muslim faiths comes close to matching the emotional excitement generated for a day that is not even a formal holiday.
Fascinatingly enough, Halloween is just about the perfect metaphor for the monster called ObamaCare.
After all, Halloween is about:
( ) Celebrating the triumph of death over life and evil over good;
( ) Using the treat of violence (trick) to extort wealth (treat) from strangers;
( ) Employing masks and disguises to conceal the true identity of those doing the extorting.
Anyone who has paid attention over the past several months is aware of the fact that ObamaCare would become America’s one-stop convenience center for terminating the unborn and near dead.
Death by fiat and government nudging in other words.
Democrats who threaten to terminate the anti-trust status of health insurers because of that industry’s opposition to being driven out of business are clearly engaged in trick or treat tactics used every Halloween by millions of American children from coast to coast.
However, when used by the United States government against private enterprise, the trick rises to the level of extortion and murder. Woe unto the struggling enterprise that fails to acquiesce.
Watching liberals play games with words and hiding their true intentions behind closed doors and in 1,900 pages of unintelligible gibberish, it should be clear that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are experts in disguising and masking the truth about ObamaCare.
ObamaCare: Unhappy Halloween from the government!
