In J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, old Holden Caulfied, after pulling one over on an elevator boy, and all, confesses, "It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to."
Old Holden may have had something there. I'm not kidding.
Enter the Democrats and their absolutely clear-as-a-bell health care bill. No really, just ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who explained to a crowd last night that the bill wasn't even mandatory. You knew that right? I mean that was clear to you and all, to quote my friend, Holden.
Let me help clarify. Obama tells us not to worry because we can keep our health care. He also tells us that abortion will not be part of the bill. Nancy Pelosi tells us if we don't comply with the bill we will go to jail. Then she tells us we have to pass the bill to find out what's in the bill. That woman kills me.
Bart Stupak won't vote for the bill with abortion funding in it, then votes for it. I hate when people do that. When they tell you they won't do something and then do it anyway, he gives me a royal pain.
The CBO tells us by spending about one trillion dollars we will actually reduce the deficit. I am not as smart as these Washington intellectuals, I'm just not, so I'll just take their word for it. Except I recently heard that the calculation was based on ten years of increased taxes and only about 7 years of "benefits." That depresses me it really does.
The president tells us 47 million Americans are uninsured, then he corrects it to 42 million then the number moves to 30 something million until we settle on 30 million and honestly I don't know what number they're using any more. He is lying like a madman, I am not kidding. But it doesn't really matter because we are adding coverage for everyone without any decline in service. I'll just take their word since it's way above my head and I am getting depressed just thinking about it.
I am one of those people that just can't keep track of all the details. I'm not smart like that. They got me so confused, I'm running in circles like a madman. I guess I am just going to do what they tell me. Or maybe I won't. These guys give me a pain.
I am not kidding.
I came to this country a few years ago and was not into politics but the more I lived her the more I got to know politics.
I then became American and a proud one at that. I talked to both sides and educated myself on the issues and I can safely say right now.
The far left have no brains and have no clue what so ever when it comes to the issues.
Ask them what they mean war for oil and they say well war for oil but press them and they quickly leave.
Ask them on why it is fair for my kids to do good at school but not get that position at the school because they are white and the kid who did get it os black and they cannot answer it.
Ask them is it killing a baby when it is inside the woman and they say no , but show them an ultra sound as I have and say this is my now oldest and they say what a cute baby you can see the fingers and toes there.
Ask them should a man marry his daughter and they say hell no, ask them should a man marry 4 woman at once and they say hell no but ask them about same sex and they say yes.
When pressed on the issue they do not have a clue on how those are different to same sex.
Ask them has the Govt eevr ran anything successfully and they say no but they still want the Govt running health care.
When pressed about how I left a socialist country with Govt health care and how the lines are long and how the Govt treats their patients badly and they say that is awful but they still want Govt health care
I could go on but one other thing I noticed about the far left is that they always seem angry with opposing views or when questioned.
They have never tried to have a fight because I guess they know I can handle myself but they do like to run away and then shout names like racist or bigot.
So sad that there are a few like them who cannot think for themselves in todays world
