Parallels Between Obamacare and the Berlin Wall

I watched an interesting documentary about the Berlin Wall last Saturday.  This perspective centered on how a handful of GDR bureaucrats, I believe 20, were able to deceive Berliners by mobilizing an army, police units, and socialist party activist to seal off East Berlin.

This elite 20 sent envelopes to various peoples and organizations with explicit instructions not to open until a designated time early in the morning.  At that moment they were to follow orders without question.  The goal was to shutdown subways, thoroughfares, and to fence off East Berlin by 6:00 AM before anyone woke up.  And they accomplished it.

Some West Berliners were stranded on the other side.  One woman recounted how the subway was shutdown and she had to walk miles to get to the boundary where soldiers were laying barbed wire.  They helped her cross over.  She recalled they didn’t know what was going on.  They were just following orders.

That kind of sneaky, underhanded duplicity reminds me of how democrats shoved Obamacare down our throats.  Remember Nancy Pelosi’s, ‘We must pass this bill to see what’s in it”?  And here is one of the masterminds bragging about how they deceived the American people:

I don’t see a difference between the GDR and the democrats.  Do you?
