The 'Dark Side' of what the Dems are really saying about health care
Topics: Political News and commentariesAs Monica Crowley aptly points out, the Democrats say one thing about Obamacare, but they mean something else - something much darker, and less visible to the naked eye. And its dangerous to both our health and our freedom.
The first assertion Crowley makes caught most of my attention:
As the health care "debate" reaches its farcical end, consider four assertions the Obama administration has made in its final attempt to persuade wary House Democrats to vote for the ungainly and loathsome Senate bill.If you think for even a moment that Crowley's take is a bit of a stretch, think again. Obama has promised to "fundamentally transform America." And as for Crowley's suggestion that Barack Obama's vision is that of Saul Alinsky, one need only to read the words of Saul Alinsky's son to know that this is indeed the case. David Alinsky said on the eve of his father's 100th birthday, "I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky..."What does Mr. Obama mean when he says, "It's within our grasp"? Of course, on the surface, he means his vision of health care "reform." But he's talking about something else as well. Something bigger, darker and less visible to the naked eye.
He's saying that the fundamental remaking of America is within his grasp. He's saying total government control of your life is within his grasp. He's saying the radical vision only dreamed about by his philosophical mentor, Saul Alinsky, is within his grasp. He's saying that European-style democratic socialism is within his grasp. He's saying that radical progressivism is alive and well and that its promise of a command economy, a smothering state and dwindling of individual freedoms is within his grasp. (emphasis added)
That's what he was really saying. Remember: Alinsky's vision of moving America toward a radical model of wealth redistribution is Mr. Obama's vision.
It's within his grasp. He just warned you.
Saul Alinsky's worldview was that the United States is an oppressive and racist society where most people (the Have-Nots) are the victims of economic injustice with a future of despair. He wanted a radical change of America's social and economic structure, and he planned to achieve that through creating public discontent and moral confusion. His goal was not to arrive at compromise or peaceful solution; his goal was to crush the Haves and transform society.
This is the world view of the man that now sits in the White House, who, along with like-minded Democrats in Congress, are trying to force Obamacare on the American people in a major step toward controlling every aspect of our lives and redistributing wealth from those that earn it to those who do not. It represents the darkest of the dark side of what the Dems are trying to force down the throats of the American people.
Readers should take the time to read Crowley's deconstruction of 3 other assertions made by the Obama administration. As she goes on to point out, now that we are at the health care endgame, Americans need to remember there is what Team Obama says, and then there is the unspoken subtext and the much more complicated truth.
