History has some interesting parallels; none more interesting than Obama’s date of March 18th when he wants to sign ObamaCare into law.
In ancient Rome the word “Ides” meant the middle of the month but more significant in history was March 15, 44 B.C. and became to be known as the “Ides of March.” On this date Julius Caesar was assassinated by some 60 members of the Roman Senate as they feared that Caesar became all too powerful and the people had lost their freedom and liberty.
America now has a President who in a lot of respects governs the same way as the Caesar’s of old. He has bullied and intimidated many members in Congress and demanded that they deliver a health care bill next week (18th) for Julius Obama to sign into law. And once again we see the parallel of a man who believes he is all powerful who disdains the will of the people.
Caesar famous last words in this saga where…”Et tu, Brute?” (“You too, Brutus?” )
Brutus was one of Caesar’s closest friends and there was a possibility he even was his son as old Julius had a long term love affair with Brutus’ mother.
As I write this I can not forget that stage setup with Roman columns and wonder if Obama was signaling his intentions.
