Dawn of the Dems

The desperation and mistrust currently observable amongst congressional Democrats would be pathetic if they did not actually wield substantial power. Like mindless creatures in a cult film featuring flesh-eating zombies, they are devouring their own, ritually sacrificing, extorting, bribing and bullying one another to pass the Senate health-care-reform proposal, affectionately known as Obamacare.

Few Americans really understand that a bloodless coup is essentially taking place in Washington via these actions, nor how important this is to such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama. Socialized medicine, this Foundation Stone of collectivism, is one they perceive will cement their power for all time.

While this is not entirely off the mark, its actualization is also far from guaranteed. The turmoil within their party – as opposed to the Republican opposition of which they have complained – still threatens to torpedo the legislation. Having passed, it is also eminently questionable as to whether it could survive the multitude of legal challenges that would be sure to arise.

The obsessive mania they are exhibiting is something I have seen before in drug addicts, every fiber of their being focused on obtaining the next fix.

Nancy Pelosi's consideration of the "deem-and-pass," or "self-executing rule," method of getting the health-care-reform bill onto Obama's desk betrays her extreme distraction, and the fury with which Democratic leaders are pursuing passage of this obscenity in the face of overwhelming public opposition is the giveaway to their absolute fixation on it, as well as having abandoned all concern for the public trust and the constitutionality of their actions.

This sort of comportment, one may imagine, is not necessarily conducive to the most effective execution of design. In such frenzies, people can make mistakes. That addict might give his money to someone who wants to rip him off or harm him, or he might try to make a buy from an undercover cop. Such mistakes usually lead to decidedly undesirable outcomes.

Although President Obama is still having success in painting himself as a liberal Democrat who is merely advancing creative strategies for the good of all Americans, the scale of his deceptions continues to escalate. By his actions, he gave the lie to everything upon which he ran during his campaign; indeed, he is a master of fraud. To this columnist, it is truly remarkable that our president continues to be capable of standing before people, looking them in the eyes and twisting the most blatant, bizarre, iniquitous misrepresentations into practicable-sounding proposals – and doing so with a straight face.

Even in light of this ability and his penchant for oratory, it has been observed that, on the larger scale, Obama fails to convince. He has also run out of material. I find it interesting that when addressing issues from the economy to the odious discussion of reparations for slavery, there is a common denominator; his solutions are always the same. They invariably involve gargantuan, expensive government programs and the attendant power they will put into the hands of politicians.

Why is it so easy for some to examine Obama's history, associations, mentors and track record, read the same manifestos he studied for decades, and come to the conclusion that he's dangerous, while others cannot? Why is it so plain to some, scrutinizing the actions of a man like Rahm Emanuel and then gazing at his often wild-eyed countenance, that he's probably a borderline sociopath, if not the real thing – while others remain wholly oblivious?

Simply because it's "unthinkable"?

I told some friends last week that although I don't lay claim to being a constitutional lawyer like our president, I believe there are probably legal grounds for charging Obama, all of our living former presidents, and around three-fourths of past and present members of Congress with breaking their oaths to preserve, defend and uphold the Constitution.

This cabal truly and clearly represents everything that is antithetical to the spirit of this nation; some of them would actually regard such a statement as complimentary, if only in private. I, for one, will continue to call these execrable, corrupt malefactors what they are and their baneful motives and agenda for what they are: evil designs calculated to enslave us all.

If we do not entirely lose our liberties over the next few years, eternal vigilance is the price we will have to pay to keep it; that and an abiding commitment to educating future generations as to how close we came to becoming the chattel of nidorous, amoral villains.
