It’s for the sake of power, certainly, but also, they truly believe that equality for the masses on every level is their mission in life, never mind that they have a different kind of equality reserved for themselves. They picture themselves as heroes and are looking forward to the history books proclaiming the morality of their deed.

“The Denver Post accused Bennet of trying to “jam [the public option] down our throats” while a Republican opponent accused him of showing “outright contempt” for voters. But a recent poll shows that Colorado voters want the public option 59% to 36%!!”

Progressive idiots dont get it.

When asked if you want a magic pony, people say ‘Yes’. Public option is a magic pony. They never ask about mandates, taxes and costs.

When asked if you want to pay $1 million for a pony, and btw we promise its a magic pony, even though it cost a lot, do you want it - people go “Are you crazy?!?”

HITERS ENABLING ACT

On March 23, 1933, the newly elected members of the German Parliament (the Reichstag) met in the Kroll Opera House in Berlin to consider passing Hitler’s Enabling Act. It was officially called the ‘Law for Removing the Distress of the People and the Reich.’ If passed, it would effectively mean the end of democracy in Germany and establish the legal dictatorship of Adolf Hitler.

The ‘distress’ had been secretly caused by the Nazis themselves in order to create a crisis atmosphere that would make the law seem necessary to restore order. On February 27, 1933, they had burned the Reichstag building, seat of the German government, causing panic and outrage. The Nazis successfully blamed the fire on the Communists and claimed it marked the beginning of a widespread uprising.

On the day of the vote, Nazi storm troopers gathered in a show of force around the opera house chanting, “Full powers - or else! We want the bill - or fire and murder!!” They also stood inside in the hallways, and even lined the aisles where the vote would take place, glaring menacingly at anyone who might oppose Hitler’s will.

Just before the vote, Hitler made a speech to the Reichstag in which he pledged to use restraint.

“The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures...The number of cases in which an internal necessity exists for having recourse to such a law is in itself a limited one.” - Hitler told the Reichstag.

He also promised an end to unemployment and pledged to promote peace with France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. But in order to do all this, Hitler said, he first needed the Enabling Act.

A two thirds majority was needed, since the law would actually alter the German constitution. Hitler needed 31 non-Nazi votes to pass it. He got those votes from the Center Party after making a false promise to restore some basic rights already taken away by decree.

However, one man arose amid the overwhelming might. Otto Wells, leader of the Social Democrats stood up and spoke quietly to Hitler.

“We German Social Democrats pledge ourselves solemnly in this historic hour to the principles of humanity and justice, of freedom and socialism. No enabling act can give you power to destroy ideas which are eternal and indestructible.”

This enraged Hitler and he jumped up to respond.

“You are no longer needed! - The star of Germany will rise and yours will sink! Your death knell has sounded!”

The vote was taken - 441 for, only 84, the Social Democrats, against. The Nazis leapt to their feet clapping, stamping and shouting, then broke into the Nazi anthem, the Hörst Wessel song.

They achieved what Hitler had wanted for years - to tear down the German Democratic Republic legally and end democracy, thus paving the way for a complete Nazi takeover of Germany.

From this day on, the Reichstag would be just a sounding board, a cheering section for Hitler’s pronouncements.

"He would destroy America to get health insurance we do not want or need. Why?"

Your clue is that his goal is in bold.

The more I observe the guy, the more I’m convinced that everything he does is driven by a desire for revenge - revenge upon whitey for 200 years of real and imagined injustices against Blacks, for everything from slavery to racism to poverty.

If that is his mindset, then there’s no doubt he would lay waste to the land in order to accomplish his goals.


Of course.

“Black Liberation Theology” IOW. (Oh yeah, that’s right he didn’t hear *those* sermons).

Also Frank Marshal Davis or whatever the F the guy’s name is.

OBAMA IN NEW HEALTHCARE BLOWOUT......Are these the actions of a MEGALOMANIACAL DICTATOR AND DESPOT?

O's not running a gov't. He's running a reelection pastorate, collecting campaign slush funds with govt money.

Messiah of the Church of Whatever Works For Me.

=============================================

ITEM Keep in mind O/Care has one purpose: to accrue massive amounts of money. Healthcare passed now collects trillions from Americans---actual healthcare does not kick in til 2013. Why such a long lead-time in phasing it in? The reason is that the first phase is Ohaha's grab for our wallets----Americans will be forced to pony up trillions before this atrocity even kicks in. This money will be hoarded to elect/reelect Dems. That is the one and only reason to frantically push ObamaCare onto a recalcitrant citizenry.

======================================

ITEM -- Obama has already accumulated huge slush funds:

(a) 80% of the trillion dollar stim is unspent and under his control, being hoarded for Dem campaigns.

(b) June 9, 2009 Obama announced, "Several financial institutions are set to pay back $68B to taxpayers." Taxpayers assumed that would be returned to the general funds from whence it had come .......in order to pay down the debt. The truth, however, is that the money returned is finding new life in the US Treasury, as part of what is essentially a Treasury-controlled slush fund (Rahm Emanuel controls the US Treasury).

ITEM Obama's healthcare gimmicks are legion:

(A) The first four years of ObamaCare is to amass $$billions. Period. Free govt healthcare does not kick in til 2013.

(B) Pushes much of the healthcare costs from the federal budget and onto the private sector by requiring individuals and employers to purchase health insurance....or pay a hefty fine or go to jail (only illegals are exempt from this provision).

(C) When the bills force somebody to pay $10,000 to the government, the Congressional Budget Office treats that as a tax.

(D) When the government hands that $10,000 to private insurers, the CBO counts that as government spending.

(E) But when the bills achieve the exact same outcome by forcing somebody to pay $10,000 directly to a private insurance company, it appears nowhere in the official CBO cost estimates — neither as federal revenues nor federal spending. That’s a sharp departure from how the CBO treated similar mandates in the Clinton health plan. And it hides maybe 60 percent of the legislation’s total costs.

CHICAGO MOB CON GAME Rahm Emanuel and his bro, Dr Zeke oversee the healthcare trillions including Medicare/Aid. So there you have the extortion scheme to get trillions of dollars into the hands of Ohaha and the Chicago Mob occupying our WH----Emnauel, Axelrod, Jarrett, and the rest of the "progressive" crooks.

It passed, with help from Voinovich, Snowe, Collins and Scott Brown. Ben Nelson voted with the Republicans.
