Pelosi has gone on and on with that nonsense about “Afraid of the Truth” BS…. It is the Democrats AFRAID to have honest/open Townhalls that aren’t rigged in one manner or another to force things to go as they orchestrate them… They refuse to deal with the TRUTH about the language in HR3200 over their carefully chosen (Straw-man) “supposedly random” questions for normal folk (yeah, right) that gives them an easy setup to further distort/hide their true intentions. We’ve covered that in so many Diaries (including: Democrat Health Care Townhall propaganda – a place to report the Dem’s Talking Points (read: Lies) and refute them with specifics). As I discussed in that Diary, I have taken part in setting up Townhalls and there is REAL EASY ways to make them Fair and REAL!!!! This is simple stuff and I frankly hope they keep it up as it makes it real easy to demonstrate how AFRAID they are of allowing real/honest coverage of what they have planned.

Both conservatives and normal liberals are missing what is actually happening. This is a radical effort to fundamentally change the nature of America. To use a public option as a Trojan Horse to nationalize 15% of the economy and reduce doctors, nurses and other employees to the same dependence on politics and same electoral servitude as teachers and postal workers. To spend trillions of dollars we do not have to nationalize large parts of the auto and finance industries and debauch our currency to buy the temporary support to irrevocably destroy free enterprise. To use Acorn and moving the Census to Rahm’s office and eventual “amnesty” for illegals to allow massive fraud to reinforce Democrat majorities while traditional American values of small and frugal government, individual empowerment and responsibility, free enterprise, and maximization are destroyed and replaed by a new system of a massive controlling nanny state, group rights, subjection of the individual to control by elites who know better than them, and shackled enterprise Conservatives and Liberals who are dealing with these radicals are making the same sort of mistake that normal liberals mad in the 1930s when communist party radicals masqueraded as “progressives” and subverted the party. Solzhenitsyn’s Lenin in Europe described the tactic quite graphically while Obama’s mentor Saul Alinsky’s in his book, Rules for Radicals lays out the philosophy in modern terms. Those who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it.

What the left (and right) is missing is the germ of WHY people are coming to town halls.

They think we are scared by rumors or misunderstanding. We are not scared. More of US have read the bill(s) and their assorted proposed amendments than members of Congress or their staffs or the wacky bunch of lobbyists who wrote most of it.

What we are is angry and insulted.

We are angry and insulted because the beltway crowd (figuratively and literally) thinks we don’t know the game and how it is played. We have known, since the birth of Progressive American politics, that the politicians are mostly thieves bent on lining the pockets of whomever can line their own pockets on the sly or after retirement or whatever. We have known that a large percentage of the money we pay in taxes is used to buy off people or blackmail them into submission. We know the “Chicago” way. It has been around much longer than Chicago.

We know the game. When you KNEW we knew the game, you didn’t play it as much. That you are brazenly trying to con us only shows your stupidity, dear Political Class. We don’t have to play the game to destroy you utterly. Our founding documents give us permission – NO – demand we exorcise pathos such as you from our nation.

We are angry and insulted because we thought we had a deal with you pols: We’ll pay a certain amount of taxes so you can have your little power games and whores and make yourselves feel like you are something special, and in return, you will leave us the hell alone. But enough is never enough for those who live in an echo chamber filled with their own PR agents. Fine. We can revoke the Income Tax and take our money elsewhere without a single law being passed. It’s called emigration. Keep the slovenly and the unproductive. See how well they can finance new jets and tropical trips.

The last 12 months or so of growing goverment, growing spending, bailouts for Goldman-Sachs (and almost NO one else- or do you think we can’t smell, too?), and the proposed eventual takeover of the healthcare system (in a decade or two, according to O’s own video records), means that you will come calling in the not-to-distant future for almost ALL our property just to keep up your interest payments. What if we simply refuse to pay or simply refuse to work to earn your pay?

We are insulted and angry because you all broke the only covenant worth keeping. And breaking that covenant entitles us to remove you all from power.

the narrow-sightedness of the Democrats is astounding.

They think HillaryCare failed because of the process, so ObamaCare is following a different process. They are confused because that ploy isn’t working, either. They flounder around looking for reasons.

The message isn’t getting through.

Cable news is screwing up things.

Right-wing talk radio is spreading lies.

Glenn Beck is a “hater.”

Opposition members are all racists.

Septuagenarians are storming public meetings, disrupting civil discourse.

They don’t even consider the truth: Americans didn’t like HillaryCare, and we don’t like the product, ObamaCare, that Obama is trying to sell to us. In fact, we are learning more and liking less–so much less that we’re now starting to distrust and dislike the salesman as well.

Since they can’t admit that their product is flawed, they’ll continue to be bewildered as ordinary folks ask them “inconvenient” questions.

Obama Lied !!
Granny Died !!

– More than 60 percent would not accept new patients with government insurance (including 27% who would not accept any patients on the new government plan).

Chairman of the ASMD, Alfred O. Bonati, M.D., said that, “As a physician, the results of this poll are not surprising to me. Any doctor who has ever dealt with Medicare knows that government coverage severely limits our abilities to deliver care that best fits the needs of the patient and the patient's family. We know that government coverage does not allow for flexibility, creativity, or, sometimes, even compassion.”

“I hope this research will serve as a wake-up call to policy makers,” Bonati said. “Doctors are against the creation of government-run health insurance and many of us will not accept new patients with that type of coverage.”

ASMD spokeswoman, Holly Pitt Young, noted that, “When it comes to our health, we listen to our doctors. Now it's time for Congress to do the same.” Pitt Young also highlighted the political orientation of the poll's participants. “More than 60 percent of the doctors in this poll described themselves as moderate, somewhat liberal or very liberal. When a group like that agrees with conservatives, it seems that something awfully important is being said.”

*The poll was conducted on August 7th, 2009, by WRS Opinion Research on behalf of the ASMD. Detailed results can be found at www.theasmd.org.

Dr. Bonati is the founder of The Bonati Institute and creator of the patented Bonati Procedure for laser spinal surgery. He lives and practices medicine in Hudson, Florida.

aren’t like them. These protesters are the people who volunteer to go to the military to fight for this country. These people aren’t afraid to die for the ideals of Freedom and Liberty and they are getting angry that the lefties are giving away the very freedoms the protesters watched their friends die to defend. These aren’t the people who ran to Canada to avoid the draft. They’re the ones who went to the recruiters office to enlist.

The lefties don’t understand this at all. It seems to be an alien concept to them.

If the lefties aren’t afraid themselves, they should be. They’ve awoken the anger of the silent majority.

This morning Grassley was asked if “pulling the plug on Grandma” was really in the Pelosi bill for NObamaCare.

He placed the “blame” for using the phrase back on NObama’s use of the phrase, but then accepted the idea that such things are not really in the bill, at least intentionally.

But then tip-toed linguistically by saying that people are inferring this because the government is involved, that cost-cutting will no doubt happen, and that therefore “pulling Grandma’s plug” could arise anyway.
