Free health care for monk seals- another Obamacare tragedy?
I have been meaning to blog for some years now, but work and those pesky doctoral studies got in the way for so long that I fear it is now passé. So be, but I shall begin my futile rantings anyway, because now an issue so under-reported has crossed my radar that I must speak. Or type.
Yes, I know that violence has swept the Middle East because some convicted scammer has cynically inflamed anti-American tensions with a bogus and amateurish film. And I know that yesterday, Kofi Annan’s Global Commission on fair elections said the US is blatantly failing at ensuring free and equal electoral access, but this is really big.
For years now, monk seals have been plying US territorial waters without so much as a hello to immigration and customs officials, but now there will be a hospital in Hawaii providing free treatment to any monk seal that shows its whiskers at the door ($3.2M Hawaii island hospital will be devoted to monk seals: Honolulu Star-Advertiser – Sat, Sep 15, 2012). Obviously, this is yet another step toward outright socialism under the Obamaniacal siege on freedom.
I personally question whether any monk seal you find will have even the documents needed to get a driver’s license, much less vote in Florida or Pennsylvania. But monk seals are indigenous you say, Hawaii’s islands are US territory. Well, we have heard claims of birth in Hawaii before. If they were born in America, they can darn well show us their long form birth certificate the first time or stay out. Next will be a deluge of monk seals from all over the world arriving as tourists or simply swimming to shore to get treatment, because once their flippers hit the sand, you are not getting rid of them. They will be taking jobs from American seal teams and burning up your tax dollars with these ‘Presidential seal’ handouts.
Seals are just the first flipper to flop. Just because some monk seal bats its big brown eyes at you does not mean you have to let it into the country. We need sea walls to stop this invasion at the beachhead. Next it will be birds migrating to North America every spring, butterflies flitting their way up from Central America. When will we stop this seal scourge and make our borders secure from portly pinniped freecare freeloaders?
