Why would you turn your body and mind over to the government? How often have we been lectured by the radical pro-abortion crowd about the right to privacy? How often have we been lectured about the right to choose? How often have we been lectured about our own bodies being our own temples? How often have we heard these lectures? And yet, here we are, when it comes to government-run health care, we’re told to open up everything to the government. All our medical records, all our medical decisions, you’re gonna hand them to Barney Frank. You’re gonna hand them to John Kerry, to Barack Obama and his henchmen. What happened to privacy rights? What happened to the right to choose? What happened to our own bodies? What happened to the bedroom, where the government’s not supposed to go? Only applies to abortion? Doesn’t apply to hemmorhoids? Doesn’t apply to heart surgery, diabetes, kidneys, you name it?
This battle’s engaged and we’re not backing down. I don’t care how much money, I don’t care how many union hacks, I don’t care how many ACORN brownshirts. I don’t care! … You know exactly what we’re confronting, you know exactly who we’re confronting, because you are the antidote to Saul Alinsky. You are the Paul Reveres. Let the Left carry around Rules for Radicals; you carry around Liberty and Tyranny, because you know what liberty is, you know what a blessing it is. And you know what tyranny is too, and you know what an evil it is.
Government-run health care is not about health care … Twenty years from now, if this passes, … you won’t recognize your country. If you have a severe illness, you will have to beg your Senator and Congressman for help. That’s what they want you to do. They want you to beg them for help. They want you on your knees. They want you to be completely and utterly disspirited. That’s what this battle’s over.
