Outrage!

How is ridiculing those who disagree with you promoting civil discourse and democracy? Barack Obama and the Democratic National Comittee are now suggesting that those who protest their Nationalized Health Care Plan are an "Angry Mob". Angry Mob you say? Thanks to Rahm Emmanuel and the DNC, Americans are getting a taste of politics "Chicago Style".

Calling ANY dissenter an "Angry Mob" sound a tad totalitarian to me: How is it not? you disagree, you are maligned, ridiculed, called a tea-bagger, a part of the problem, and don't forget, you are not being optimistic. If you have ever lived in a Country where the government runs everything including medicine, if you have ever cued for hours waiting for free health care from doctors who have no incentive to hurry up and help your sick child, you will not be very optimistic about a system like that. Ask the Europeans and Africans at least; they've got socialized medicine.



Here's what one of the protesters had to say: "I am a registered Democrat: why would you guys try to stuff a health-care bill down our throat in three to four weeks when the President took six months to pick a dog for his kids?"

Democrats are chastising anybody with an opinion that differs from theirs: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has released an Ad calling protesters of the Health Bill "an Angry Mob". This administration is now directly attacking the American People that disagree with them: demonizing their opponents and stifling descent. Another word for stifle is repress. Maybe it's just me but the word repression, being used to describe an American Political Administration just does not sit right. Did I mention Chicago Style Politics?

Mr. Obama and his peeps do not seem to understand that Democracy is not one way, it is not from the top to the bottom, it is both ways. Mr. Obama is also not a King who speaks and nobody can challenge him: He is an American President, hired by those called "the Mob". Many of these enemies of socialized medicine are just as disgusted with the Republican Party as they are with the Democratic Party. Mr. Obama does not seem to understand that this is an organic grassroots rebellion by the American People who think that Health Care run by the government is a bad idea.

The President has yet to tell us how he intends to pay for this massive healthcare overhaul without plunging generations deeper into debt. While Mr. Obama promised transparency, fiscal responsibility, ethics and change, he seems to be delivering a lot of "fits" at anyone who opposes him. An American president who has no stomach for the opposition is an embarrassment to say the least! The American people are not a belligerent people: on the contrary, they can be very understanding. You cannot bully the American People into submission to your plan: Mr. Rahm may ram his way through, pun intended, but sooner or later an implosion is bound to occur-Depend on it.
