The Mark of the Beast

As foretold by the revelation of John, no one will buy or sell save that he/she has the Mark of the Beast upon the hand or forehead. The so called "health-care" bill, the new euphemism for Marxist/Fascist State, mandates that you shall buy and you shall sell health-care coverage in that market place. It gives one no choice. To be sure, the idea of forcing the average Joe to accept the "Mark" 'tis of Satanic origins. I've discussed the "mark of the beast" topic many times with Christian friends and have discovered that the Beast's Mark upon the forehead or hand is not physical it's allegorical, a type of metaphor, wherein the forehead represents heart or mind and hand represents actions, deeds or works. Hence, evidence of the Beast's Mark is in what you say, think and do. If, for instance, you make a conscious choice to participate in and legitimize government health-care coverage, against the constitutional limitations on such intrusive government regulation of your life, then you've accepted the Mark in your heart and/or mind. Likewise, if you seek to legislate government health care coverage or attempt to coerce or entice others into doing so, then you've bourne the Mark upon your hand -- by your actions.


Mandatory health care coverage is nothing more than a means to force government regulation upon your free will, under the guise of being a right. Very serpent-like. A right is something for which we have the free will to exercise or not. I have the right to spend my money as I see fit. The fact that I might need a house to live in and have the means by which to make mortgage payments, doesn't give the government a right to force me into buying a house, does it? The fact that I could end up homeless and in some manner burden the rest of the population doesn't give the government the right to force me into buying public subsidized housing, does it?

Even in cases of the most reprehensible nature, our Supreme Court has upheld the notion so eloquently articulated by John Locke that, "Every man has a property in his own person. This, nobody has a right to but himself." Locke goes on to state that “The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property." The idea being that life, liberty and property preceded government and that governments are formed for the protection thereof. Perhaps Ayn Rand in contemporary parlance best stated Locke's ideal when she wrote: "Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work andkeep the results, which means: the right of property."

The government can not tell us when, where or how to spend our money under threat of punishment, fines or imprisonment. If it can, then the blood and treasure spent in creating our Constitution wasn't worth the ink nor the parchment it was written on in the first place. Health-care coverage is all part of the Obama administration's effort to destroy our private sector capitalist economy in order to replace it with a neoMarxist political economy. Here's my paraphrase of how Marx put it : In order to unbind the working class from the shackles of individual private property rights, the working class must by world-wide socialist revolution seize political power. It must then deprive the capitalist classes of their individual property and place all means of productivity into collective ownership (that means government). Once the foundations of material property ownership are destroyed, (capitalism and natural rights), all citizens will be equal owners of production and equal participants in its benefits. Yeah right. How well has that worked -- NOT -- EVER.
