Hate Inspired

People have been asking me when I plan to write something about the "Obamacare" bill that passed on Sunday. Let me be short and sweet: As an American I am disgusted by it! I unfortunately am not the most informed or clear on what all the new laws are so I won't try to discuss it in depth. For a short summary from the Heritage Foundation, please read http://dailycaller.com/2010/03/23/what-america-will-look-like-if-the-white-house-gets-its-way/.

Today I think it is more important to discuss today's news conference held by Speaker Pelosi in which she attempts to blame the Republicans/Tea Party/Conservatives for inciting people to threats and violence through their "heated rhetoric". They state that this has caused "incitement to people whose judgement is not peaceful... and who either verbally or physically threaten people with whom they disagree."

I think that Pelosi etal are obviously trying to make political points against people THEY don't agree with by painting them with this brush of violence and threats as though any reasonable person would do such a thing. Their message in a nutshell: These Republicans/Tea Party/Conservatives are DANGEROUS RADICALS bent on VIOLENCE and INTIMIDATION."

I am hopeful that the American People will see through the obvious slander and take it for what it is worth: kitty litter.

For a moment, I want to step back and look at what has happened in the last 14 months. Average Americans who oppose the supposed health care "reform" have been branded as racists who hate "having a black man in the White House." It has been inferred that they are closet homosexuals (google the term 'teabagging' if you don't believe me). They have been called ignorant, uninformed, reactionary, inbred and stupid.

In spite of an overwhelming outcry from the people against the legislation, Congress has voted repeatedly for it. The people made their voices heard at town meetings, small gatherings and large protests held across the country. Still Congress refused to hear them. The people turned out one Democrat Governor, elected a Republican Governor in a state that had been Democrat for 8 years, and voted a Republican into a Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy for the last 47 years, each time repudiating the direction that Democrats were trying to take the country. Still they refused to alter for their decided course.

They bribed, threatened and cajoled their fellow members in order to bring them online, culminating in a vote held late on a Sunday night when most Americans were not watching, in which they passed a law that most of them have not read.

In short, CONGRESS ITSELF is responsible for what is happening.

When a government OF THE PEOPLE deliberately thwarts the will OF THE PEOPLE, they should not be surprised when they arouse the anger OF THE PEOPLE!
