The degree of contempt held by the president and Congress for the American people is staggering. They really believe that come November 2010 the voter will have forgotten the giant raspberry planted on him by the liberal Democrat congress in enacting Obamacare. The blatant purchasing of the votes of senators via favors and special consideration for there states and the willingness of the administration and liberals to swallow anything in order to secure passage of a bill brings into stark relief the magnitude of the cynicism and corruption of Mr. Obama and the liberal Democrat leadership of the Congress.
This episode has its positive aspects. For one, the position that there exists a moderate element in the Democrat party, whether called "blue dogs" or whatever, has been exposed as a myth. There are no moderate or centrist Democrats. All Congressional Democrats are liberals, distinguishable by shades from pink to red indicating intensity of their madness. Second, all Congressional Democrats are loyal only to the ideology of liberalism, not the United States of America. Every Democrat who voted for Obamacare in whatever permutation violated his oath of office and betrayed the U.S. Constitution. They conspired in broad daylight to subvert our form of government. And they are succeeding.
Third, it is impossible to deny that the on the federal level representative government is broken and incapable of repair. The American people are dead set against Obamacare but it matters not one wit to Mr. Obama and 60 Democrat senators. Why should it? Even if a few are defeated they will land in some Washington law firm or lobbying outfit, where they will rake in millions on past associations. Being voted from office hardly qualifies as punishment if the result is a million dollar salary and perks. In theory, this could be fixed by moving power away from Washington to the states and local governments, making the career of former congressmen less attractive. In other words, if the Federal government was reduced to the role envisioned by the framers things could be retrieved. The chance of that happening however, is zero.
Fourth, truth has fled from the scene in American public life. Bald, bold, shameless lying is now universal in all aspects of our culture. Our politicians, media elites, celebrities, sports stars, lie to us regularly, with unabashed and brazen whoppers. The culture of lying creeps into polling and statistics, so that all information now is suspect. We ive in a time in which literally nothing can be accepted at face value. The destruction this wrecks on society is staggering.
Fifth, we now know (as if there was any doubt) that not a single Democrat is a patriot. Every single one places fidelity to ideology over loyalty to the country. A Democrat in office is a tricking time bomb, waiting to blow up at first opportunity fiscal restraint, traditional values, and constitutional government.
Sixth, any Republican holding office who speaks of "working with" Democrats is an idiot and should be retired immediately. Working with Democrats is slow surrender to tyranny. Conservatives should insist that future candidates pledge to make war on the Democrats just as one makes war on cancer or other deadly enemies. There should be no cooperation with sedition, no negotiation with communists. Democrats must be defeated.
Finally, we are going to find out if the American people are truly sheep or if the Spirit of 1776 still lives in the breasts of the populace. The Obama administration and the leftist Congress are a curse which Americans brought on themselves; only the people can remove the curse and turn the country around toward sanity.
