Obama’s pointman on Obamacare (universal health care) is longtime Communist Party USA (now Democratic Socialists of America member), Dr. Quentin Young. Obama’s old Chicago buddy (Cook County Hospital, etc). There is a picture of them together, arms around each other, at www.keywiki.org, search for Quentin Young’s name.

Now you know the whole story.

I objected to their nanny-state overreach on smokers, even though I do not smoke. I object to their malicious overreach on the HHS abortion mandate, even though I have no moral objection to the use of birth control and of some of the items included in that mandate. As for Bloomie's silly overreach, he can have my firearms and my Big Gulp when he pries them from my cold dead hands. I just wish the GOP had a leader who felt the same.

I LOVE HER!!!

Not only did she stick in in Bloombergs eye with the Big gulp, but also for those who criticized Rubio for takingn a sip of water.

Somehow I doubt it.

Leftism is seductive. It preys on the emotions of people. Anger, hate, pity are it motivations.

Freedom and Liberty do not engender strong feelings until it is already gone. The reason Leftism workers so well in taking liberty is that people rarely get worked up about the loss of someone they don’t knows liberty.

The reason the US didn’t enter WW II until we were attacked was because it was someone else far away that was being attacked. The Nazis didn’t seem that bad. We didn’t know those people. The Left in this country are much the same but have learned many useful lessons from the Nazis’ failure. One big one is incrementalism. They do not try to take over the country in one fell swoop. They are taking the country inch by inch.

Most people today have no idea how much freedom they have lost in the last 90 years. People who do not study history (most today) have no notion of what has be surrendered to the Left.

The loss of small liberties tends not to provoke people to action; this is the Left’s big advantage. They always couch their restrictions on liberty in language that sounds benign and even helpful.

The Left also has strong allies in the press, the bar and academia. They are shaping the minds of our youth and building their goals in to case law.

It isn’t hopeless but we fighting them have a hard row to hoe.

Every time I meet someone who supports the government using force in support of a “good cause”, I point out to them how easily it would be for the government to do the same to them.

Few of them listen. Makes me wonder what their reaction will be when they wake up one morning with government goons taking them in because they violated someone else’s “good cause”.

I saw the first two many, many times and even wrote some pretty good fiction about it (some of it professional). I saw the third movie, too, but don’t like to admit it). That was enough. :-D

Sorry, back to regularly scheduled thread.

He’ll if you look at O’s whole family tree and his associates you will find the percentage of them being card carrying Communist Party members and anarchists but the MSM won’t point this out because they are complicit in the Progressive takeover just te same.

The phrase “young and dumb” exists for a reason. Same reason “stupid and naive” has become synonymous in describing the left / libs / proggies
