Mitt Romney, Thomas Jefferson, and the Injustice of Context Dropping

The unjust or the dishonest drop context. “Individual mandate” is used against Mitt Romney as “slave holder” is used to tear down Thomas Jefferson. They are hurled without context, thus, unworthy of a search for the truth, a great injustice, and a triumph for “the very harbingers of reappearing tyranny and oppression.”

The United States Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) in 1986, under Ronald Reagan’s watch. EMTALA requires hospitals and ambulance services to provide care to anyone needing emergency treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S but includes no provisions for reimbursement. The law is therefore considered an "UNFUNDED safety net program" for patients seeking care at the nation's emergency rooms. As a result of the 1986 EMTALA legislation, HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FACE UNPAID BILLS AND MOUNTING EXPENSES TO CARE FOR THE UNINSURED.

The choice of Governor Romney was the bankruptcy and closure of MA hospitals, or a mandate for those who can afford and would be buying insurance were it not on their reliance on the unearned: e.g. the EMTALA.

Honest critics offer alternatives. How would you fund unfunded entitlements while convincing others to end them? How would you avoid the closure of hospitals?

In the case of Thomas Jefferson, I have encountered shocking vitriol and utter malevolence. Logically and morally, one cannot be faulted for something outside of one's choice. Slavery was OBTRUDED on the Colonies by King George III. Jefferson INHERITED slaves. It was AGAINST THE LAW TO FREE THEM.

Chosen for the first time to be a member of a legislature at age 26, he submitted a bill for the EMANCIPATION of slaves. As a lawyer, age 27, Jefferson defended a slave, saying: "Under the law of nature, all men are born free."

In 1806, a law passed in Virginia which allowed ONLY the SELF-SUPPORTING to be freed. Freed slaves MUST LEAVE the state. If a freed self-supporting slave had children or parents who were not, he/she had to leave them.

Twin Beau Ideals

Twin Beau Ideals: The Declaration of Independence in towering steel - a free mind and ego soaring to the skies - happiness rising in architectural symphony.

After supper, Apollo invited, “Let’s go to The Pit Stop. I go there to rest and refuel. Together with my Journal of Heroes, The Pit Stop invigorates and gives me joy.”

Apollo opened the door to The Pit Stop, but did not turn on the lights. It was a large, high-ceilinged room containing works of art. At the end of The Pit Stop were twin miniature skyscrapers that almost reached the ceiling. Their upper floors were brightly lit. Apollo and Ian stopped by the door, solemnly gazing up at the skyscrapers named Twin Beau Ideals. They were of the same mind. “The Declaration of Independence in towering steel - a free mind and ego soaring to the skies - happiness rising in architectural symphony.”

The lit top floors of the left tower spelled B I G; its lower floors were strategically lit to spell B U S I N E S S. The right tower’s uppermost lights spelled E G O; its lit lower floors radiated S E L F I S H N E S S. The Twin Beau Ideals glowed with the following: BIG BUSINESS and EGO SELFISHNESS.

The towers represented a mighty threat to sacrifice-glorifiers and mind-destroyers. Rejecting the hands-off, nonintervention, noninterference imperative in freedom, the subhuman attacked.

Apollo and Ian remembered the day when enemies of freedom and free enterprise destroyed the real-life BIG BUSINESS tower, and haters of equal inherent inalienable rights struck down the real-life EGO-SELFISHNESS skyscraper. The towers were owned by Uncle Sam, but made possible by the private sector.

Apollo told Ian, “Many people revolted at the September 11, 2001 destruction miss the fact that the virtues that made the Twin Beau Ideals possible have been under vicious attack for over a century. Deluge of vilification and injustice have been heaped upon free enterprise, big business, brilliant innovation, spectacular success, and self-interested pursuits of profit and happiness.”

The guardian and his ward each vowed, “What the twin towers stood for must not crumble to ruins. I pledge my life and sacred honor to see you rise again, Twin Beau Ideals, together with the good you represent: reason, liberty, coercion-free economics, science, technology, pride, and joy.”

When Apollo turned on the lights, Ian gazed at a painting of the US flag and its inscription: The USA is a self-portrait of the American people. Autograph America with FREEDOM.

Perry Spurns God’s Gift of Reason

God gifted each individual with reason, that anyone’s mind may soar to the heavens, like Galileo and the Wright Brothers.

Perry, a WIELDER of COERCIVE POWER, spurns God’s gift of reason. He does not advocate that individuals help themselves, but rather, he is of the kind that spouts: "Americans are helpless! We must repent! I declare a year of prayer and fasting!"

From wikipedia: Perry proclaimed August 6, 2011 as a Day of Prayer and Fasting. Earlier, he proclaimed April 22 to April 24 as "Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas" in response to the wildfires then covering much of the state. By late July, 75% of the state was experiencing exceptional drought conditions, as opposed to 10-20% in April.

Like his DARK-AGES moral descendants, Perry would Giuliani (i.e. Gestapo) Galileos, who proudly evince that God’s gift of reason is all-good. Perry is the candidate of DARK-AGES WARRIORS: the anti-mind/anti-reason, who crave to impose on rights respecters. The moral descendants of the persecutors of Galileo. Those who believe in a cruel god, one that imposes his will, contrary to the loving God's gift to man: free will.

In 2008, DARK-AGES WARRIORS scored a victory when Barack Obama's opponent, a speech infringer, anti-gun, anti-capitalism, whose hero is dedicated Antitrust enforcer Theodore Roosevelt, the first POTUS to endorse the income tax and the inheritance tax who also endorsed socialized medicine, chose a gravitas-free puppet of THEOCRACY WARRIORS as running mate. The country chose socialist Obama over the DARK-AGES WARRIORS.

In  2009, New York's 23rd Congressional District, held by the GOP since the Civil War, rejected DARK-AGES WARRIORS. - http://ilynross.blogspot.com/2009/11/theocracy-warriors-rejected-by-new.html 

In 2011 for the 2012 presidential elections, DARK-AGES WARRIORS are ramming down a Roosevelt of the Theodore and Franklin kind who would burn Galileos at the stake: Rick Perry.

Romney Stands Up for a Persecuted Minority: Corporations

The following popular convictions have been entrenched for more than a century. It takes courage and morality for a political candidate to dispute them. It is the only way to combat the unemployment scourge. It is consistent with freedom: a coercion-free existence.

"BIG corporations are robber barons." - Power-lusters and Looters

"Corporations are not people." - Ron Paul and many of his supporters

“Corporations are greedy crooks.” – Losers who spurn the presumption of innocence doctrine

Translation of the quotes: "I ENVY. I GREED to LOOT corporations. I SALIVATE to TYRANNIZE those WHO DARE SUCCEED!"

Little people are envious. Their response to achievement is not admiration but a desire to control or destroy. For over a century, corporations have been tyrannized by the Left and the Right. Big corporations are vilified as robber barons to justify Antitrust laws, which spit on logic: Free competition must be enforced!

Having pulverized logic, power-lusters followed up with undefined, flexible, contradictory laws. These thugs have solid allies: the envious and the irrational. Lusting for total annihilation, they now proclaim that people who associate to form corporations are not people.

In freedom, people are free to form associations, like corporations, and other people are free to deal with them or not. There are only two types of evil greed: greed for coercive power and greed for the unearned. The successful and the affluent have rights equal to those of other men.

I admire and thank Mitt Romney for standing up for a persecuted minority: corporations.

People criticize Romneycare but they drop a huge context and do not offer alternatives. They evade the following:

The United States Congress passed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) in 1986, under Ronald Reagan’s watch. EMTALA requires hospitals and ambulance services to provide care to anyone needing emergency treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S but includes no provisions for reimbursement. The law is therefore considered an "UNFUNDED safety net program" for patients seeking care at the nation's emergency rooms. As a result of the 1986 EMTALA legislation, HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FACE UNPAID BILLS AND MOUNTING EXPENSES TO CARE FOR THE UNINSURED.

Mitt Romney had nothing to do with the passage of EMTALA, but he had to implement it as governor. I have asked this of those critical of Romneycare but have never gotten an answer: How do you propose to fund unfunded federal programs like the EMTALA while convincing others to end them?

Unlike a governor, Obama or Bush could have advocated for the repeal of unfunded entitlements in the US Congress and throughout the country. Romney says he will advocate for the repeal of Obamacare, and while it is not repealed, he will grant waivers to all states.

Among the declared GOP candidates, I favor JOB CREATORS Mitt Romney and Gary Johnson.

"While in college, Johnson earned money as a door-to-door handyman. His success in that arena encouraged him to start his own business, Big J Enterprises, which was founded in 1976. When he started the business, Johnson was its only employee.[10] He eventually grew Big J into a multi-million dollar corporation with over 1000 employees.[11] By the time he sold the company, in 1999, it was one of New Mexico's leading construction companies."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_E._Johnson

Gary Johnson’s first principle of good government is: “Become reality driven.” - http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/record

Sourced from Wikipedia:

“With Bain & Company, Romney had a record of success with clients such as the Monsanto Company, Outboard Marine Corporation, Burlington Industries, and Corning Incorporated.

In 1984, Romney co-founded Bain Capital. As general partner, Romney was FRUGAL and CAUTIOUS, spending little on office appearance and finding the weak spots in so many potential deals. Their first big success was Staples Inc.; Bain Capital eventually reaped a nearly sevenfold return on its investment.

The firm successfully invested in or acquired many well-known companies such as Accuride, Brookstone, Domino's Pizza, Sealy Corporation, Sports Authority, and Artisan Entertainment, as well as lesser-known companies in the industrial and medical sectors.

Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to serve as the President and CEO of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games Organizing Committee. By that time, Bain Capital was on its way to being one of the top private equity firms in the nation, having increased its number of partners from 5 to 18, had 115 employees overall, and had $4 billion under its management.”

After viewing this speech, I decided I will vote for Mitt Romney. He proudly and passionately talks about the FOUNDERS, freedom, capitalism, truth, & integrity. It is an EXCELLENT speech from the mind and heart, without a teleprompter nor notes on his palm.

I hope for a Romney-Johnson team. I wish them best premises and good fortune. God bless.
