Speechless

Here I sit in my home. March 22nd, 2010. An unremarkable time of the year by most standards. It wouldn't be worthy of mention had not the USA been changed yesterday.

House Resolution 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Voting yes were 219 Democrats and 0 Republicans.

Voting no were 34 Democrats and 178 Republicans.

Notice that tiny zero in front of the Republican name? That means that every Republican was against it. Every conservative was against it. And according to the polls, more than 70% of the American people were against it. Doesn't matter. They passed it anyway.

Why?

Dear God, why?!

In what country does this make sense?!

When did this country become a nation where the the elites dictate to the underlings? Yesterday, apparently.

I don't know what to say. No words can express my utter disgust at what has happened. Apparently the words of the Constitution mean nothing anymore.
