The level of commitment of the current crop of Democrats is astounding. And it is dangerous for the United States of America. In the face of crashing poll numbers, mounting public opposition, defections and Democrat retirements piling up as seat after seat is falling, even the press is starting to turn against them on all fronts – yet the Democrats continue to do the very things that are getting them into that trouble. Supporting the unpopular healthcare legislation, pushing through tax hike after tax hike while ignoring and insulting the American people – and all with an infuriating arrogance that is making them increasingly unpopular.
For Christmas break the Democrats had a chance to go home, evaluate where they stand heading into the elections of 2010 and adjust their positions. Even chained to the healthcare legislation that is pulling down the party like an oversized anchor NONE of the Democrats listened to their constituents and stood against the bill. Instead, they made the choice to stay with the bill and change their careers. They are following the brain-dead leadership of their party in herd mentality over the cliff like the lemmings they have become. For all their arrogance and talk of being smarter than the average voter, they have thrown independent thought out the window and are stampeding after a cause that is more unpopular than H1N1.
In spite of all indicators that are SCREAMING for the Democrats to change course and run AWAY from the cliff the herd is running TOWARD the cliff with a full head of steam following their leaders over the edge and onto the rocks below. As commendable as it is to be truly committed to a cause, this one is looking more and more like the ‘Breakfast Plate’ analogy. For those of you who have missed story that in your readings, it goes like this: When you look at a breakfast plate of ham and eggs you see ‘involvement’ and ‘commitment.’ The chicken laid the egg and walked away. That is being ‘involved’ with your breakfast. The pig, on the other hand, died to be that slab of ham. THAT is ‘commitment.’ Right now, with this agenda the Democrats are pushing, they are the PIGS.
As much as it seems like a good idea for the Democrats to continue in their self-destructive ways from a Republican standpoint it is a HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE for the American people. WE are the ones who are going to have to deal with the tax hikes, diminished doctors and services, reduced research, long lines, delayed care, Death Panels, mandatory inoculations tracked through government computers, loss of our freedom and, added on top of it, the bureaucracies the healthcare system these incompetents in Congress are going to put on us – 111 of them in the Senate version of the bill. WE are the ones who told them DON’T DO IT, and WE are still the ones who are going to do the suffering.
That level of commitment to their ‘cause’ is dangerous. There are no SERIOUS questions being asked by the Democrats, no SERIOUS oppositions. All they are willing to do is put on a show for the press to get a little ‘pork’ thrown their way and sell out the American people to build a power base.
As lemmings go, the Democrats are filling the bill well. They mindlessly run as a herd following their mindless herd mentality. None of the Democrats question whether or not it’s a good idea – outside of various extortion hits – to run off the cliff or what’s at the bottom, they just follow the herd.
Democrats have been preparing themselves for a hundred years for this moment and no matter what the cost they are going to put their agenda in place. What Republicans have to do is show their own level of commitment – without the mindless lemming approach – when they are in office and turn back the tide of “Progressive” legislation the current lemmings have passed.
