A Seat at the Emperor’s Table?
You may all recall the fanfare and audience our imperious Progressive celebrity leader received by announcement after the Superbowl, via his “top gun” Katie Couric, of invitation to have a meeting with the GOP “to discuss healthcare” next week.
Anyone scratch their head and ask, “Mr. President, why didn’t you do that in the first place?”
That’s all that came to my mind. Of course I recognize this invitation admits the leadership of Congress has not had an open door to ideas outside of democrat party circles, to where they say the GOP, or anyone else for that matter, has no ideas--the democrats don’t know, their door is always closed.
But finally the Grandmaster of our nation has admitted with this invitation that he and the democratic party carried out their acts in the shadows, as liars, cheats, and thieves, or, to be Midwestern honest “The Chicago Way.”
Just ask anyone from Illinois, and specifically Chicago, how long it takes to get anything done unless you are already bought and sold by the political machine as a patronage junkee. Also ask them how often someone is shaking someone else down, even Churches!
Yet this situation gets “progressively” worse as Chicago style partisan politics are asserted as the national means of policy making....
The White House, announced they are working on their own merging of House and Senate bills, a reconciliation healthcare bill to be presented for budget reconciliation--the 51 vote option. Fascinating that the President, who was so busy campaigning he was actually absent from the U.S. Senate more often than the number of votes of “not present” he made in the Illinois Legislature, is now LEGISLATING FROM THE OVAL OFFICE to pass a bill with 51 votes that around 70% of the American public is against, and to add further insult to injury in our representative system, before the meeting he scheduled with republicans (breathes very slowly to slow bleeding from the eyes).
What is just beyond belief to me, is that every democrat spoken to about this brings up republican handling of revenue and expenditure legislation, that cut taxes or cut spending, things germane to the budgetary process, the democrats claiming this as their excuse to do the same with healthcare! This seems more like revenge and childish "they did it so we can too" partisan games, and is being done irrespective of the difference in the nature and effect of the healthcare bill. The democrats are going to caste, for the first time in American history, healthcare as a government revenue and/or expenditure bill to get it through, to bring healthcare into being a budgetary item of the government irrespective of the American people wanting healthcare to stay in private hands just with better regulation.
And, since the White House is choosing this option, Obama is unequivocably breaking his promise of bipartisanship to get things done, not that I am all for them working “progressively” together, but that it is HIS promise he is going to additional lengths to break.
It appears the Tea Party, and Scott Brown, have forced the Progressives to press the accelerator even harder, to try to do all the damage they could do to America in 4 years, in the next 10 months!
Let us hope a some Tea Party nudging will effect a few democrats, as they still have the most seats, to come to recognize that passing healthcare like this is the most violent act of abuse of the American People that the democrat party could ever carry out.
And, if they do pass healthcare this way, let us all make certain to tell the world, “Barack Hussein Obama and the Progressives exacted vengeance against the American People by passing healthcare like this. This is a vengeance that is equivalent to Saddam Hussein firing missiles of mustard gas on 400,000 Kurd and Iraqi men, women and children, his own citizens, in Northern Iraq!”
It is our will, our conscience, our necessity, our known and accepted role, to be a beacon of hope to people of all nations who want a better life, one based on freedom. And this is a historic role, one that has assured mankind will be free. A role that no longer exists when under an oppressive regime of elite, class baiting, rhetorical Progressives, who appear bound and determined to break the individual American Spirit.
In a dictatorship we expect the ruler to disregard, abuse, and exploit their people, but not in the American Republic, where the people are the sovereignty of the nation and not the national government.
