Democrats Are Not Suicide Bombers

The way this health care bill is progressing through Congress has produced outrage after outrage. Most significant of these is the fact that two-thirds of Americans don't want it. Yet, it is being rammed through by hook and by crook. What is it that these Democrats have in mind by demonstrating their total disregard for the people who sent them to Washington in the first place?

We do in effect have one-party rule in America today. The American people, in their infinite wisdom, have seen to it that the Democrats should have no opposition. And, indeed, the only opposition we see is within the Democrat party itself. Members can now be seen openly soliciting favors and outright bribes. Republicans are standing on the sidelines, licking their pompous chops, and saying, "The Dems are committing suicide. Why should we stop them?"

Meanwhile, talking media heads are keeping score. “It's not looking good for the Dems in the next election cycle”, they say. The poll numbers look atrocious for the Democrats, yet none of them, save perhaps a handful, seem concerned in the slightest. And therein lies a mystery. Could it be that the Dems know something we don't?

One pundit explained it in terms of the Dems - now solely ideologically driven - being quite willing to suffer future defeats if it means being able to ram their sacred agenda through. Another claimed that this now all but certain ‘victory’ for Obama and the Democrats will be hailed as 'historic' and unbelievably wonderful in the mainstream press, the people will come to believe it after it's been repeated often enough. A third predicted that, by the time the next election rolls around, people will have simply forgotten.

There is certainly ample precedent for all of the above. The ‘9’12 March on Washington’ never happened, after all; and Rush Limbaugh is not the driving force behind the Republican Party. But I do believe this time it's different.

American Democrats are not suicide bombers; they mean to survive. People this time around will not fall for the MSM propaganda. And voters will not forget. For one thing, there will be no happy news to distract us as long as Barack Hussein Obama occupies the Oval Office. There will be nothing to tempt us to forgive and forget. Bottom line: Republicans can expect to win big in the next election(s). Unless...

I believe that the Dems are fully aware of the situation. Yet, by and large, they're confident, almost as if they're quite expecting to rule in perpetuity. The will of the people does not seem to enter into their calculations.

Democrats are running rings around Republicans who still harbor the treasured illusion that there will actually be a next time for them. They don't seem to realize that they’ve already been shut out of the legislative process. They might as well not exist. One party rule, by definition, is never accountable to the people. Therefore, as far as the government in Washington is concerned, neither Republicans nor the people exist. So where’s the problem for Democrats?

We are already a dictatorship in which the legislative politburo simply rubberstamps the leader's demands. The events of the past year have proved as much. To think otherwise is pure delusion.
