Of Town Halls, Health Care & The Unglued American Left
Stephen Kruiser ^ | 08/06/09 | Stephen Kruiser

You almost have to feel sorry for the progressives, this was all supposed to be so easy for them. Last year, they got the candidate they wanted, a guy so far left that he bumps into Fidel Castro any time he moves to the right. He easily dispatches the most formidable candidate in the primaries. Then the GOP hands him a candidate who wimped out and did everything but hide in Aruba during the general election. To make things run smoother than chocolate through a Rottweiler, the economy tanked before the general election under a Republican president's watch. By then it was more of a cake walk than an election.

The scenario that danced around in the heads of the progressives went like this: we've got the president we want, a Senate leader who is wholly incapable of original thought and will obey like a whipped dog and a House Speaker from San Francisco, for Marx's sake, to implement our agenda. This should be done in an hour or so.

Obama is calling out his followers not just to snitch on anyone opposinfg his plans, but to physically attend and contest the townhall meetings. Like a bunch of brown shirts.

Right now, the dem and RINO reps fear their constituents because they are upset over the trashing of America and a destructive health care plan. So, they are coming on their own, in droves, to let their feelings be known.

While trying to paint this grassroots, individual reaction as somehow contrived, the marxists contrive their own response.

Well, it is time more and more Americans rise to this challenges and run these people out of town on a rail.

MY LETTER TO THE WHITEHOUSE AND OBAMA ABOUT FREE SPEECH

Sides are being drawn. The President has come out and urged his supporters to "turn us in" if we speak out against this monstrosity health bill, while at the same time telling them to take to the streets in support of the Health Plan monstrisity.

So be it.

This is getting to a stage where we have to stand up straight. We're not like the Jews in Germany and Poland, we're not like the Russian farmers or Chinese peasants.

We know our rights, we will not be cowed into submission, and are willing to fight and die for those rights if necessary...and we are armed.

I love this country, I love the constitution and the rule of law based on it...but this is the opposite of all of that and is the fast road to tyranny unless we stand and stop it.

So, what I will do now is speak up all the louder, redouble my efforts, and challenge them straight to their marxist faces.

If they want to curtail my free speech, they are going to have to literally fight me over it.

There’s a good argument to be made that Obama’s policies and his weakness as a leader will result in a split in the Donk party that will make the Republicans look united by comparison. There’s the tiny but vocal minority true lefties who are pissed because he hasn’t gone far enough, the traditional liberals who are taking it in the shorts over his failed economic policies just like everyone else, and we’re already seeing the loss of a major share of the conservative Dem and Indie support that enabled him to get elected in the first place. Quite the crack-up after only 200 days...

The rest of the article ........So they’re acting out.

And lying almost non-stop.

They are lying about the true nature of health care reform. It’s a bridge to the single-payer system that President Obama has wanted all along. Which he is now lying about. I’m not speculating, I’m listening to a prominent Democratic senator.

They are most certainly lying about welcoming debate on health care. It’s not possible to ram complex legislation through Congress to meet an unrealistically quick deadline and have a substantive debate about it at the same time.

The evidence that any opposing opinions aren’t welcome is overwhelming. It’s not a debate if your party hierarchy immediately dismisses any contrary viewpoint or, worse yet, implores you to pass them along to the KGB White House for closer inspection by the feds.

The most “Through The Looking Glass” aspect of this panicked abandonment of veracity has been the characterization of protesters at the health care town hall meetings as being phony plants who are well-funded by the health care industry when, in fact, that’s a better description of some people on your side of the aisle.

The progressive left is trying to disparage the protesters on the right by accusing them of acting like…the progressive left.

The American Left in its present state wouldn’t understand a grassroots effort even if it was explained in simple pictures on the back a of a fabulous sleeveless Michelle Obama top. They’re efforts start with the White House’s massive database from the last election and proceed from there. They have real organizations with actual names that orchestrate getting people to public events and protests. All they can come up with when accusing health care protesters is lame crap like “the Republican right”.

So it is they who are really the well-funded, hyper-organized top-down super hyphenated group that can be mobilized in a heartbeat. The vitriol they inject into any suggestions that people on the right are like this makes one think that some self-loathing issues are being worked out. It’s difficult to fancy yourself a modern day hippie engaged in a great struggle when George Soros farts out another check every time you say you need something, after all.

Nothing is perfect and that definitely applies to the current state of health care. So let’s have that debate, Mr. President.

But let’s try to push an honesty agenda through Congress and your administration first.

I just wonder if the generation that accelerated America’s leftward tilt may also be the one that stops it. The Baby Boomers always get what they want, and they finally got a certifiable commie as President. But they also want a comfortable retirement with good healthcare, no waiting in line, and certainly no forced euthanasia. They also, by nature, hate authority.

Whats it gonna be boomers, beloved communism or comfort eh? I have a feeling you are going to choose comfort. Good move, right on, groovy, cool, outasight, dig it.

There is potentially some major irony here.

Just got this in my email...CAN’T BELIEVE I got something from the DEMOCRATS!!!

Dear Polly,

If there was any more doubt that the right wing fringe is reaching shocking new lows by the day, Rush Limbaugh is now openly comparing the Democratic Party to Nazis and using swastikas on his website.

This comes right after Minority Whip Eric Cantor said that the GOP ‘needs’ Mr. Limbaugh. We’re issuing a special Rapid Response Alert to encourage grassroots Democrats to hold them accountable.

Sign our petition telling Republicans they should immediately condemn Limbaugh’s hateful rhetoric.

At a time when families are looking for solutions to rebuild the economy and make health care more affordable, Rush Limbaugh is attempting to sidetrack the important debate through his use of symbols that are synonymous with murder, intolerance and genocide.

Sign our petition to make sure they are held accountable.

Take a look at who has power now, the boomers. And what do we have, erupting communism. Of course not all boomers wanted this, or even most, but enough did, and were successful, to support the stereotype.

I’m a boomer too, 1954.

I can’t say the left is going crazy, because they already are. Still, it’s fun to see them running for the adult diapers.

YIKES! Worse...he really does NOT give a damn. Somehow, ya just know it.

I am fuming, I got a join AARP email and decided to investigate-it was an offer to join. I went to the site and they are all over supporting this health care debacle, to the point of organizing! My GOSH!

So I went to their facebook page (divided we fail) because there was no place to leave a comment on the main web site and I logged in, I am a member of facebook, and started to comment on the threads there to counter the bullsh!t and they kept removing EVERY SINGLE post I made in about 2 seconds....saying my posts were going through a fan filter .... OH PUKE! You should see their organization!
