Every day Barack Obama becomes more beatable. Every day, the people who thought they were voting for a fiscally tough centrist are discovering the truth of the big spender that he is. The Administration's (and their stooges in Congress) haughty, dismissive and elitist attitude toward those who wish to be heard on health care may play well to the liberal intelligentsia, but lots and lots of average folks in the middle voted for Mr. Obama AND they agree that the Democratic plans for health care are off-base. By criticizing the protesters, the Administration is quietly alienating those who agree with them.
On January 20th, 2009, I believed that I was watching the inauguration of the man who would be my President for eight years, presiding over a steady march to the left of center in the country. I'm no longer so sure, so pessimistic. The Democrats have over-reached, they've tried to do too much, they've run up against an American public who refuse to press the "I believe" button again, for whom trillions of new spending represent the stolen wages of grandchildren born and otherwise.
We can only hope and continue to point out the grievous error of his ways to all within earshot.
ReplyDeleteSO LET'S RUN THROUGH THE LIST
ReplyDeleteOk, so just to get this straight .. I wanted to make sure that we are all on the same page. If you oppose Barack Obama's healthcare plan, you can consider yourself the following:
-A right-right extremist
-An unruly member of a mob
-A person who is not expected to dress respectably
-Desperate to destroy Barack Obama
-Unwilling to change
-Unwilling to "seize the moment"
-And you don't like change. In fact, you probably don't even change your underwear.

Brian, I agree in that it seems the Dems are doing all that they can to marginalize themselves as they marginalize the general electorate who just so happens to disagree with them.
ReplyDeleteHowever, with die-hard statists as the majority leaders in the house, senate, and the white house for the foreseeable future is it too late? Honestly I'd like someone to tell me it's not.
I thought that with the way mainstream media networks sold themselves during the past elections surely their influence would quickly fade as people recognized that inescapable and in-your-face fact. This has not been the case.
Furthermore, it seems as if many conservatives shoot themselves in the shoot right off the bat by being too conservative- not in ideology or voting records- but in their own persona. In other words, boring. In this way Sarah Palin is (wincing) a breath of fresh air.
The core of the American public, which happens to be conservative, has many obstacles to overcome: namely,
-regaining the votes in the midterm just to remain viable in 2012 and stem the tide of Rooseveltian-era legislation;
-pointing out, and ACTIVELY convincing the American public of, just how biased the "mainstream media" is;
-and emotionally and intellectually inspiring the electorate to vote FOR the Rep candidate and not merely AGAINST the Dem.
And how is the heck did Stuart Smalley get elected to the Senate?
Mr. Clean--good analysis, and you may be right--it may be too late. I'm not ready to concede that yet...but perhaps.
