It's easy to look at the political power the Democrats have in Washington and become discouraged; to become fearful that our fellow Americans are too accustomed to suckling at the government teat to ever demand their freedom from bureaucracy again. But we Americans have often faced darker times, tougher battles, and longer odds. Our Founding Fathers certainly did.

The wisdom, spirit and determination of their words is just as applicable today as it was so long ago when they stood up for what was right, in a desperate fight that many believed was hopeless.

Like his boss on health care, Robert Gibbs has no answers... 

 

As you know, College Republicans were out in force last week to protest ABC News' informercial for President Obama's government takeover of health care. 

One week ago today, President Obama, in very Cpt. Jack Sparrow like fashion, commandeered ABC to promote government-run health care.

While he dodged question after question like he was doing the peg-legged jig and struggled to explain even the core planks of his plan, hundreds of College Republicans had commandeered something of their own: Twitter.

Last night President Barack Obama took over the ABC network for an hour and half unveiling his “public option” for the American people. Republicans all over the country were outraged with the fact that the “American Broadcasting Company” refused to allow the RNC to purchase any advertising time during the 90 minute infomercial.

While the President sat comfortably inside the White House explaining how the government would yet again take over another private industry, young students from all over the D.C area came together and made sure their voices were heard.

The media can't say enough good things about Barack Obama's health care plan. ABC is even turning their network over tonight to the Obama Administration for what amounts to an hour long cheerleading session for socialized medicine, while no Republicans will even be allowed to buy an advertisement on the show to get out their point of view.
