Questioning A Congressman’s

Motivation

(The following letter to Fifth District Congressman Chris Murphy has been received for publication.)

Mr Murphy:

You voted for the House Health Care Bill. I question your motivation in casting that vote.

If I were you, I’d look to other federal programs, questioning whether entrusting the management of 16 percent of the US economy to the federal government makes sense. I’d look to Social Security, Medicare, Fannie Mae, etc, evaluate the financial health of such government programs, determine whether my constituents’ taxes would be safely managed in the hands of the feds. I’d evaluate whether the funds allocated for these programs were retained as originally intended, or if they were instead hijacked by Washington and used to fund other programs. I’d quickly conclude my constituents’ taxes would be horribly wasted, that this bill is criminally misguided.

If I were you, I’d educate myself on the constitutionality of the feds funding a program of this size. I’d visit the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution (The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people) and conclude that legislation of this type is to be left to the states, the feds have no business undertaking such a program. I would declare the House Health Care Bill unconstitutional.

If I were you, I’d visit an abortion clinic and become familiar with the state-sanctioned murder you and your colleagues have been supporting for many years. I’d witness it up close; I’d view it from the fetus’s standpoint and force myself to see the aborted corpse of a helpless, innocent infant. I’d make absolutely certain that under no circumstances would I be party to a charade in which funds that the American people were advised by their President would never be used to murder infants were in fact destined to be used in that very fashion.

Recently, Eric Holder decided Khalid Sheikh Mohammed be tried in a New York courtroom. If convicted and sentenced to death, the forearm of this bloodthirsty scum will be swabbed with alcohol, preventing infection, before injection of the serum that will end his life. See the irony? Aborted infants aren’t treated so well. Though it won’t occur in our courts, true justice would be served if this revolting animal never received lethal injection, but were brought to the remaining tallest building in New York City, and forced to choose: jump off or be set on fire, as many of his victims were forced to choose. A worldwide pay-per-view event could raise millions of dollars for the children of fallen first responders, with my gleeful support.

Likewise, justice will be served next November when you and your colleagues, who’ve shown utter disregard for the health and prosperity of the nation that enables you, get fired. Based on your incompetence and arrogance, I look forward to your removal. If I were you, I’d resign. You’re not worthy of the office you hold.
