In the 4th Century BC, Hippocrates wrote "First do no harm". When he originally wrote his famous oath, he couldn't possibly have ever imagined he would be contending with Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats.
Democrats won't be subject to the same system of health care that they propose the rest of the country use. That's because the official seal of the liberal is a picture of a weasel with the words in Latin, "Do as I say, not as I do". The life of a liberal is one that is constantly fighting against common sense. This uphill, against-the-stream conflict is why they love being a liberal so much. They love that conflict. It's a psychological problem, we all know. If some people have no conflicts in their lives, they artificially create some, like young people and celebrities that have nothing but time and expendable income on their hands. They psychologically feel guilty about this, so they become liberal to try and absolve their perceived "sins", so they start "caring" about global warming and minorities, on a surface level of course.
Rather than engage the American public and simply explain why socialized medicine is a good idea, they call average Americans with valid questions at these townhall meetings a litany of classic liberal slurs, such as the all-time, #1 classic "racist", followed closely by #2 on their delusional hit parade, "nazi". Also thrown at hardworking, honest citizens, "KKK", "Timothy McVeigh", "Astroturf", "Unamerican", and "Angry Mob".
I would say that he who starts the name calling has lost the debate, but the Democrats never debated in the first place. They went from zero-to-hurling insults. Because they know their supposed "plan", which has failed in every country its been tried in, ever, throughout time, has, in fact, failed. Just like every other liberal idea. Even Hillary Clinton tried it in the mid-90's. But now we're in a recession, so their brilliant plan is to revive a failed concept that costs trillions of dollars. And then insult the people that simply want our elected representatives to read the bills they write. Way to go, Democrats.
And speaking of name-calling and baseless, unfair accusations, for the past 8 years (not to mention every day since Vietnam, but let's stay on target here) we've heard nothing but the most hysterical, insane Bush-bashing imaginable, calling him every name in the book, including the classic favorites "nazi" and "satan". Did we hear a PEEP out of the Democrats? ANY WORD about the inappropriateness of any of it? Of course not. That's in eight years. In one month of valid questions about our health and life and death from everyday citizens, out come the insults, "nazi", "Swastikas", "KKK", "Timothy McVeigh", etc. Absolutely disgusting.
So we're all supposed to start shaking in our shoes when Democrats call the town hall protesters an "angry mob". Never mind that their corrupt, incompetent, ideologically backward and unfathomably expensive so-called "plan" is what made people angry in the first place. But nothing's ever their fault. It's our fault for being angry at their ugly proposals (bureaucrats deciding who lives and who dies, rationing for people with cancer, assuming the cancer will wait to spread, deciding elderly Americans are "expendable", etc.) I guess we shouldn't be angry at all. Sorry Democrats. Our bad. Your wisdom is all-encompassing. We forgot.
I say, YES, we ARE an angry mob! We should be proud about that and wear it like a badge of honor! If Democrats see us like that, then I say stand up and be PROUD to be an angry mob! Considering what they want to do to this country, it's downright civil. Look at it in perspective. But that's never been the strong point of the liberal, the same people that wanted to ram this bill down our throats in a matter of weeks. I wonder why they wanted to do it so fast...if not to build a state where they have eventual complete control of our lives, bit by bit by bit.
