My fellow Americans, the sky is falling!
And it's all because the health care reform bill is now the law of the land.
Last weekend, you see, House Minority Leader John Boehner warned us that the health care legislation would "ruin our country". He called it "Armageddon"!
So, after eight years of Bush and Cheney in the White House, caring properly for sick people is what's actually going to ruin our country.
After all those years of unnecessary wars of choice costing billions of dollars and countless lives, caring properly for sick people is what's actually going to ruin our country.
After our Bush-Cheney-led nation resorted to the illegal use of torture in their "war on terror", even though the experts have pointed out that torture is ineffective in producing reliable intelligence, caring properly for sick people is what's actually going to ruin our country.
After our Bush-Cheney-led nation broke existing laws to spy without legal warrant on American citizens, caring properly for sick people is what's actually going to ruin our country.
Maybe he's right, if the country to be ruined is the version that Bush and Cheney created.
This country is supposed to be a nation of laws. So let's ruin the law-ignoring version of the previous administration and return to the America that respects the Constitution that our founding fathers established for good reason.
Let's return to the America that respects the rule of law -- including the newly established law that provides health care for most Americans.
And let's return to a compassionate America. After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And if we don't take proper care of our weakest -- i.e., our sick -- then how strong are we really as a country?
