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.
