Ok I know I am taking this to the extreme...
Ask any American 10 years ago if the believed that the government had the power to search telephones, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; or expand the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities? See USA Patriot Act
Now take a look at some examples of the Health Care Bill (as of 07/14/09)

Now just imagine any politician having the power to infringe on our freedom, not just this administration, but future administrations.
Am I equating this Health Care Bill to Armageddon? No, but I think we could be opening pandora's box with allowing our Federal government to have a lot of power and the ability to take our freedoms away. Just something to ponder!

Great post. This is so true. Individuals need to recognize when they give Obama the power to take away our freedoms, they are also giving future politicians that same power. So ask yourself . . . are you okay with a George Bush or a Dick Cheney monitoring your bank account or making the decisions regarding what type of medical treatment you can receive? Probably not. This is why the best politicians are those that leave the power in the hands of the people.
