Family Security Matters » Publications » Obamacare: When Growing Old Becomes a ‘Crime’: "Immediately following the passage in the Declaration of Independence avowing the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is the phrase, “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.” Clearly, in the minds of the founders, the purpose of government should only be to uphold a just and defensible societal structure within which the people can maximize their freedoms and interests.

The America of 2009 no longer resembles those lofty ideals in any respect. Admittedly, the insipient encroachments on it have been occurring for many decades. But with the advent of the Obama Administration, the efforts to forcefully implement them have gone into overdrive.

The mere fact that such a debate is even taking place in America indicates that the threat is very real."
