Virginia Foxx: Health care reform worse than terrorism
November 3rd, 2009 by John Grooms in Boomer with an Attitude
Every time Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina launches one of her wacked-out rants, you think she’s topped herself, but here she goes again, reaching ever greater heights of pure goofiness. Foxx has become one of Congress’ top entertainers, and by “entertainer” I mean “bizarre granny figure,” through her speeches in which she has touted the notions that Pres. Obama wasn’t born in the United States.; healthcare reform means senior citizens will be “put to death by their government”; and that “there are no Americans who don’t have health care.” Give Foxx credit, though, she always ups the ante in her nutcase sweepstakes. Now, she’s gone onto the House floor to declare that she and everyone in her district are living in fear (which, along with anger, seem to be the only two emotions rightwing extremists like Foxx have left at their disposal), and that health care reform is a more terrible threat to America than “any terrorist right now in any country.” Um, thanks for that valuable insight, Congresswoman; maybe next time remember to take your meds before giving a public speech.

I think Grooms needs to come off his self medication instead hehe.
The reason the insane health care bill is more dangerous that terrorists is two fold. One, it is not constitutional for the government to force citizens to buy a product it is trying to sell. If the government can break the law in plain site like this, what will the government do next since the constitution will be meaningless at this point. The next reason is that terrorists killed 3000 people on 9/11. This health care bill will kill many more people that that. Democrats will of course deny it but denial of care will polish off many due to delays in drug or care that is deemed to expensive to justify for your age.
Of course Grooms fails yet again to explain Foxx’s reasoning behind her statements. Like most things Democrat, if you scratch the surface they do not have a leg to stand on.
Go Foxx!

Great spot-on comment — I need to read you more often. We certainly have our share of card-carrying members of Wingnut Nation.

ANYTHING is more of a threat than terrorism. So Foxx is right.

Way to go VIRGINIA FOXX!!!!!!!!!!
So glad that you are on my side!
What are those DEMOCRATS thinking? Do they know what will happen to the America people if this bill gets passed?
How many of those DEMOCRATS have parents that are on a fixed income and might not be able to find a doctor?
Now when President OBAMA was a senator and he was ask to vote his vote was PRESENT!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like we as AMERICANS are losing our rights that OUR FORE FATHERS fought so hard to get for us just for them to be taken away. I like the freedom that I now have and would hate to lose it!!!!!!!! Please keep AMERICA the way we are now having FREEDOM and RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
