It must be nice to be a Democrat. You shove a horrendous health care law down an unwilling nation’s throats, and then, when the other party tries to do something about it, you get to scream and yell that they are anarchists, arsonists and terrorists with bombs strapped to their chests.
Or as Senator Angus King called us yesterday, “characters.”
I think I want to be a character called “H”. Sounds cool.
The problem with these people is that they find it obnoxious that anyone wants Congress to listen to the voice of the people. They screech that we “hate government” when in fact we really object to government that is bad, abusive and far too big. Indeed, it should tell you something that they think anyone who expresses such objections is an enemy of government. It’s almost as if they want government to be abusive and huge, because that’s how they maintain their power. You don’t think . . .
Of all the hysterical quotes from Democrats over the weekend, two stood out, and it should come as no surprise that one of them comes from Harry Reid. He said: “ObamaCare has been the law for four years! Why don’t they talk about something else?”
Good question, Harry. Here is the answer: Segregation was the law for more than 100 years! Why didn’t we talk about something else! Because it was terrible and needed to be changed, that’s why. Just because you decided to foist this abomination on us doesn’t mean we have to take it, sir. ObamaCare has been a disaster since the day it passed. The exchanges aren’t ready to go. The employers can’t comply with the mandate. Insurance premiums are going through the roof. Hey, Harry! It’s been the law for four years! Why haven’t you done something about this?
Oh. Right. Because as long as government controls health care, you have what you want.
And then there is Congressman David Scott, who said this: “Your hate for this president is coming before the love of this country, because if you loved this country you would not be closing it down.”
Goodness gracious. Congressman Scott, maybe you’ve heard of this thing called a difference of opinion on policy. Maybe you’ve heard of this thing called fighting for what you believe is right. It’s not personal. I don’t hate the president. No one I know – in the Republican Party, in the Tea Party, in the conservative movement – hates the president on a personal level. We just think his policies are horrible for the country and we want them changed. If you don’t know the difference between that and personal hatred, you really should not be in politics.
