Healthcare

It occurs to me that the Leftists are taking some interesting approaches to dealing with resistance to the Obamacare program. They are:

  • Using the Right's craziest arguments as strawmen, parading them around to show us that if we do not agree with the 1000 page bill that nobody has read, then we are buffoons, ready for the loony bin. If I recall correctly, the Russians institutionalized citizens who were political dissenters. After all: you'd have to be insane to go against the party!
  • Actually setting up a website so the leftists can report thought-criminals. I had always hoped I would not see the day where thought-police were acting openly in America.
  • Affecting indignation at the protesters. How *dare* they interrupt their precious politicians! It's like the Democrats had never heard of protesting and had totally forgotten about how their own protests went in the '60's, the '70's, the '80's, well...you get the idea. Protesting oppressive government has been a staple of the Democrat's lunchbox for the last half-century, and now they're acting like they've never seen it before. Well, that's about as transparent as hypocrisy gets.
  • Sending union thugs to quash the rebellion. Classy.
  • Accusing the protesters of astroturfing, meanwhile, there is a website with BO urging his own fake grass-rooters to belly up and let their neighbors know that they know where they live.
  • Calling the protesters tea-baggers. I've actually heard supposedly unbiased news reporters using this term, like they don't know what it means. It only goes to show how deeply involved the news media is with the leftist party when the reporters are using such derogatory names for people who are protesting an oppressive government. Hey, remember the '60's, '70's, '80's...etc., when the media were fawning all over the protesters? Not anymore. Care to wager what's changed? Change has changed.
Let us not forget that the unintended consequences of a law are not usually explicitly stated in the law. Let us also not forget who our POTUS is, or what he believes in.
  • 20 years in a racist black separatist church.
  • Follower of Allinsky, who taught "community organizers" how to use community organizing as a way to inject communism into America.
  • Uses Allinsky's teachings, such as saying one thing and then doing the exact opposite.
I still can't believe that people use BO's words to defend his positions. I mean seriously: does anyone expect a rational person to believe a word that comes out of his mouth?
