In response to the Speak Out writer on Wednesday, Democrats did push Obamacare through behind closed doors. Remember Nancy Pelosi getting up in front of America and saying you have to pass it to know what is in Obamacare. Democrats are famous for lying and pulling the wool over American people.

I recently saw a movie where the characters said something useful. The boss said, “John, you broke the rules. If you break rules, we are no better than animals.” But people always seem to break rules, then complain about the consequences.

To JK, who is tired of hearing about people’s rights. May I suggest you read about other countries where the people actually have no rights. We are lucky to live in a country where we have rights, such as freedom of speech. I guess the saying is true: You don’t know what you got until it’s gone. Don’t take these rights for granted. You want to work and not pay taxes, yet you want an ambulance to pick you up when you call 911, you want police protection, you want paved streets, you want safe roads and bridges. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. It’s called a civilized society.
