LE GRAN ILLUSION?

Today the House votes on whether to pass the Senate's national socialized health care bill into law, placing an additional one-sixth of the U.S. economy under the federal government's control.

I looked up the word "free" in Roget's Thesaurus and the following words showed up:

emancipated, self-determine, self-direct, individualistic, sovereign, self-reliant

and

uncoerced, uncompelled, unrepressed, unbridled, unmuzzled, unreined, unmastered, uncontrolled, unobstructed, unrestricted, unhampered, unbound, unburdened.

Today, we will finally get a true answer to the question Americans have been asking for hundreds of years:

"O,-say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"

If the House votes Aye, the answer is Nay, and le gran illusion is over!
