Government-Run Health Care and the Human Genome Project:‭ Hitler's Wet Dream‭ (‬Government Run Genocide,‭ ‬literally‭)

"That'll never happen‭!" ‬you say,‭ ‬or‭ "‬You right-wingers will stoop to anything‭!" ‬Will we‭? ‬Let's try an objective approach,‭ ‬one that uses the record.

Hitler was swept into power on a variety of promises.‭ ‬He sold the people on his ideas through economic policies that spread the wealth around,‭ ‬and,‭ ‬eventually,‭ ‬cultivated tolerance of his desire to build a master race,‭ ‬one bred by bringing blond-haired,‭ ‬blue-eyed people together.‭ ‬The test tube baby was a long way away,‭ ‬the genome certainly not known,‭ ‬but the idea of a recessive gene and the ability to better assure the outcome of the child was possible.‭ ‬Crude genetics yes,‭ ‬but available.

Now keep this in mind with the Jews and the homosexuals who were forced publicly to wear symbols stitched to their clothing announcing and identifying their heritage and sexual preference.‭ ‬Also note these were two groups targeted and killed by the Nazi party as a blight upon the earth,‭ ‬the same party that had courted the German people with promises of‭ “‬change‭” ‬to gain power in the first place.

We fought World War II to scourge the beasts who could,‭ ‬and did,‭ ‬inflict inhuman,‭ ‬ungodly medical experiments,‭ ‬torture,‭ ‬and ultimate death upon our fellows‭; ‬to deny the possibility of these horrors happening again.‭

Today we have mapping of the genome occurring at a fevered pace,‭ ‬and still we think it wise to hand health care to the government‭? ‬And this is while we do know the government has carried out experiments on us in the past,‭ ‬particularly with nuclear power plant radiation release,‭ ‬the syphilis project on black men in the South and,‭ ‬in San Francisco on the homosexual population.

Do we decide to question this when the government-run,‭ ‬funded,‭ ‬or otherwise organized,‭ ‬health care system's bureaucrat decides to rebut our rationing claims by explaining that‭ "‬if you had received the government provided gene therapy you wouldn't have this disease‭" ‬at some future date‭? ‬Or is it when someone hires a capable attorney and sues after their spouse dies,‭ ‬getting the bureaucrat on the stand to admit,‭ "‬Well,‭ ‬statistics showed poor response to other therapies and after reading an article in TIME magazine about genome advances,‭ ‬I took it upon myself to insist that the doctor have all their patients with that medical condition try this therapy or the doctor's payment would be held up indefinitely.‭" ‬Pardon me.‭ ‬You can’t sue the government.‭ ‬It’s in the bill.

No one has guaranteed this will not,‭ ‬cannot‭ ‬occur,‭ ‬or is an absolute impossibility according to any health care bill put forth.‭ ‬For a President who keeps invoking the‭ ‬21st Century as a blazing horizon of hope‭ (‬oh,‭ ‬let’s not forget‭ “‬change‭”)‬,‭ ‬he and his comrades in the other branches of government appear incapable of thinking this far ahead.‭ ‬Or have they‭?

Let's face it folks,‭ ‬we are that endless money tree,‭ ‬the producers who‭ ‬cultivate this economy, and upon which growth government reaps in harvest to feed it's own agenda.‭ ‬There are‭ ‬53‭ ‬new agencies currently slated in HR‭ ‬3200.‭ ‬Building a‭ ‬vast bureaucracy is‭ ‬not a means of saving money,‭ ‬particularly to the tune of‭ ‬900‭ ‬billion dollars of‭ "‬waste and inefficiency.‭"

There is only one guarantee that health care will not result in our being subjected to the genetic model,‭ ‬the genetic notion,‭ ‬the Hitlerian potential of a perfect race,‭ ‬and this is by rejecting entire the notion of government-run health care.‭ ‬We the people of all backgrounds,‭ ‬experiences,‭ ‬ideologies,‭ ‬and attitudes must safeguard that chaotic but effective melting pot that has secured our freedom for over‭ ‬200‭ ‬years,‭ ‬and that means keeping government out of having ANY opportunity to affect our genetics.

Let's learn from history this time.
