Reeducating America, ‘as the Secretary shall determine’

-By Michael Zak

Take a good look at the Obamacare logo. An eagle with wings outstretched atop a circular emblem of the regime. Where have we seen such an image before? What socialist regime, in Europe not so many decades ago, used such imagery? Hmmmm….

Yesterday, the Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, let slip the truth about what the Obama administration has planned for this country. Upset that most Americans oppose nationalized healthcare, she said: “We have a lot of reeducation to do.”

This is a threat. Sebelius is threatening you.

Obamacare is the means by which Barack Obama plans to fundamentally transform America. Kathleen Sebelius is not just another federal government functionary. Obamacare makes her the second-most powerful person in the country. Mentioned more than once per page in the 2700-page law, “the Secretary” [of HHS] deems and establishes and develops and promulgates and imposes and adjusts and has the authority to re-make the entire nation.

By using such a ghastly term — “reeducation” — she is purposely calling to mind the horrors of “reeducation” efforts by despotic regimes in recent history. Every moment that she does not apologize, Sebelius renews her threat against the American people.
