Health Care Nuclear Option Shows Contempt for Public Opinion


ObamaCare is not popular.  The people don’t want it.  The people have rejected it.  Yet President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) are going to ram it down the throats of the American people using a special Congressional procedure that avoids a filibuster in the Senate - The Health Care Nuclear Option.  The Obama Administration and Leaders in Congress have shown contempt for the opinions and views of the American people.  They just don’t get it and they don’t care what people think about this plan. 

Townhalls, Tea Parties, 9-12 demonstrations, ObamaCare low polling numbers and the election of Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) are all products of an unpopular health care idea by President Obama.  The Declaration of Independence states, “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”  Consent of the governed is an important concept, yet politicians in the Federal Government seem to believe that they can pass unpopular legislation and work to get the consent of the governed at some future date.  This is not how this democracy is supposed to work.  Members of Congress are supposed to be responsive to voters and the American public.  I truly believe that many Representatives and Senators believe that the American peoples only are allowed to participate in this democracy when they vote every other November.  This ObamaCare should not pass without the consent of the American people.

Same old liberal play book


You can make book on it, every time there is an election, the ministry of propaganda will exclaim how stupid the non-Marxist candidate is and how brilliant the Marxist is.

The Massachusetts special, senatorial election is no exception.  Writing today at Boston.com, former Boston Globe columnist, Brian McGrory tells his readers:

Scott Brown may not share the political values of most of the state and may lack the experience for the US Senate. And, let’s be honest, his nights probably aren’t tied up with Mensa meetings.

Scott Brown won’t be tied up with Mensa meetings?  Are we to assume that the blithering idiot running on the Marxist ticket, Marcia Coakley will?

This school of thought is the same that exults the mental prowess of such political pygmies and economic illiterates as Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, Hussein the Usurper and the Marxist wizard of smart Al Gore.

During the run up to the 2000 election I remember the Marxist media repeatedly asking, “is Al Gore too smart to be president?”.

As recently as June 1, 2007 the ministry of propaganda was still exclaiming the brilliance of the father of the man-made, global warming truther movement.  In a op-ed piece in the Boston Globe, Eugene Robinson wrote:

Al Gore has been in town launching his new book, “The Assault on Reason,” and you could have predicted the buzz: Is he about to jump into the race? What you probably wouldn’t have predicted is the counter-buzz that Gore, poor fellow, is just too ostentatiously smart to be elected president.

Al Gore “too ostentatiously smart”?  Is he referring to the same Al Gore that flunked out of divinity school?  Conniving, nefarious, and underhanded, come to mind before “too ostentatiously smart”.  Let’s be honest Mr. Robinson, if Al Gore is too smart for you to understand perhaps it is because his mindless prattle is incomprehensible to anybody with a room temperature IQ.  Or perhaps your statement is more telling of your mental capacity than his.

“Is Al Gore too smart to be president”?

God help us!
