It's Time To Play The Conspiracy Card Again (VRWC)

Have you ever noticed how Democrats play the "vast right wing conspiracy" card whenever the truth is more than they can bear? Hillary Clinton played that card when her husband's serial adultery started to catch up with him. The media took up her cause and set out to assist she and Bill Clinton in destroying anyone who dared to aid in the government's case against her husband for perjury and obstruction of justice. After the body count piled up on the Republican side, Bill finally gave a half-hearted admission that he had done something wrong but said he only lied to protect his family. Yeah, right.

Last year, anyone who dared point up Barack Hussein Obama's undeniable Muslim heritage or simply uttered his given middle name was branded an anti-Muslim bigot shamelessly trying to link Obama to terrorists and questioning his patriotism. People seeking relevant information about the natural-born status of a would-be president, who at one time or another has held citizenship to three nations, were branded "right wing conspiracists" and derogatorily dubbed "birthers" for asking Obama to produce his original birth certificate and any foreign passports he has held during his lifetime. Continued stonewalling and the expenditure of millions of dollars on attorneys by Obama has so far succeeded in denying answers to the American people on that small matter we refer to as "constitutional eligibility."

Now we turn to health care. The American people see Obama's health care plan for what it is: socialized medicine. As opposition grows amid many unanswered questions by Obama and the Democratic proponents of his big government health care plan, out comes the "vast right wing conspiracy" card. The Washington Times reports on who Obama is blaming for opposition to his health care plan:

President Obama took to the conservative airwaves Thursday to charge that Republican leaders are engaged in a vast right-wing conspiracy to kill health care reform in order to repeat the 1994 mid-term takeover of Congress, which followed the defeat of President Clinton's reform plan.

"I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, 'Look, let's not give him a victory, maybe we can have a replay of 1993, '94, when Clinton came in, he failed on health care and then we won in the mid-term elections and we got the majority. And I think there are some folks who are taking a page out that playbook," the president said.

Appearing on the Michael Smerconish radio show, Mr. Obama said he would "love to have more Republicans engaged and involved in this process," but he vowed to win the battle, with or without support from the minority party in Congress.

"I guarantee you, Joe, we are going to get health care reform done," he said to one caller. "I know there are a lot of people out there who've been handwringing, and folks in the press are following every little twist and turn of the legislative process, but having a big bill like this is always messy."

I've got news for you, folks. The Republicans are so dysfunctional these days they couldn't possibly get their act together to organize anything against Obama or the Democratic Party. The Republican Party hasn't been behind the tea parties. And it certainly isn't behind the folks showing up at town hall meetings to bitch about what Obama's health care plan may or may not mean to them. In case Obama hasn't noticed, his party has overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress, including a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. If he's having trouble passing his plan, it's a sure bet that more than a handful of members in his own party are having doubts about his plan. With the news media overwhelmingly on his side, the vast right wing conspiracy theory is always a safe card to play. Let's not let the truth get in the way when a lie will work.

Has anyone seen the movie Being There with Peter Sellers? Mr. Obama is like Sellers' character Chauncey Gardner: An amiable dunce who says seemingly profound things that the public puts their own meanings into.

Like so many other things, the left has worn out it's old ways of manipulating the public and has so alienated people that whatever it says no longer has the impact they've grown accustomed to. That's why we see waves of panic whenever something on the socialist agenda stalls. They realize they no longer have the level of mind control they've so long relied on. With republicans the minority in the Legislative branch and not in control of the Executive branch, no one will fall for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy crap. A half-vast right wing conspiracy maybe, but not a Vast one.

It's nice to know that even a half-vast right wing resistance can frighten and dismay the left. I look forward to an honestly Vast Right Wing Conspiracy openly committed to ending the democrat socialist party as a factor in the politics of this nation forever.

Regards
