Dems: Running From Clarity

As an older American, one of the most clarifying moments I remember was the transition from the Carter administration to the Reagan administration with respect to the USSR. Carter embraced the typical liberal mindset of the times, the idea that, although the U.S. and the USSR had different systems, both were "equally deserving of respect." Reagan? He called the Iron Curtain, Communist thugs exactly what they were: an "evil empire." Perhaps nothing both infuriates and terrifies progressives more than clarity, especially when that clarity illustrates the utter bankruptcy of their ideology. To wit:

• if the current healthcare bill is as good Democrats promised it would be, why did the Obama administration grant waivers exempting thirty different entities from complying with its rules? The answer is simple: this administration believes the rule of law doesn't apply equally to all Americans. Dress it up any way you want, my progressive comrades, but when certain constituencies get special treatment that ordinary Americans can't get, that is unbridled corruption. That such waivers are necessary at all demonstrates that this bill was either written by ignorant fools--or those whose chief purpose was as nefarious as it was obscure: to incrementally destroy private health care in the United States.

So which is it? Progressives are not ignorant fools. They are, however, statist thugs more than willing to destroy the best health care system in the world in order to put it under federal control. If they have to keep certain constituencies content in the meantime, so be it. And when the First Commandment of implementing your agenda is "do it by any means necessary," equal treatment under the law is nothing more than a minor impediment....

Great article. I’m going to read some of Arnold Ahlert’s other articles, he writes with great clarity.

Seems I read that somewhere before, some pigs are more equal than others. But they are still pigs.

...whose chief purpose was as nefarious as it was obscure: to incrementally destroy private health care in the United States.

Exactly right. hussein obama and his cohorts in un-Constitutional crime are avowed socialists and fascists. There is even tape of obama saying they are going for a single payer system, it's just going "take a little while to get there." That is, and always has been, hussein's purpose. The "health care reform" was never about health care, never about reform, not even about health care insurance. It has always been about power and control and expanding government. The fact that costs will go up, quality and availability of care will go down...well, too bad people, we are all expendable in the Democrat/socialist/elitists' eyes...
