Defending the Indefensible, and Doing it Well
--by

Liberals
insist that they know better than you do, what is good for you, and if you
refuse to cooperate, they have a right to force you to submit to their wisdom. They honestly believe that they can run your
life better than you. You just don’t
know what is good for you.
If
you doubt that, just listen to the way that advocates of Obama-care defend its
failures. People are complaining that as
a result of the ACA (Affordable Care Act, or Obama-care), they have been kicked
off their health insurance. This has
happened because the government has set new requirements on what the insurance
must cover. These new requirements are
expensive. In some cases, the insurance
company could no longer afford to comply with the new government rules. In other cases, employers have had to lay off
full time workers, or reduce their hours, to avoid being bankrupted by the ACA,
and therefore, leaving formerly insured employees with no insurance.
One
would think that the advocates of ACA would finally, finally admit the
obvious. The promises have been
broken. As it turns out, you cannot
keep your insurance plan. You cannot
keep your doctor. Your insurance costs
will go up, not down. Two plus
two equals four, not billions in savings.
But
no. The Obamaniacs will not admit to any
of that. Instead, here is their
excuse: you see, the insurance plan that
you had, the one you liked, the one you were promised you could keep— yeah that
one, the one that is now gone— well, you see, that was a bad plan. Bad.
It didn’t cover pregnancy costs for eighty-year-old ladies. Indeed, it did not even cover pregnancy costs
for men. You fool. How could you have ever thought that was a
good plan?
We,
the elite, the powerful, we will decide for you what is good for you. We will ignore your silly opinions. We will ignore your right to choose for
yourself. We will take from you to give
to others, because the greater good demands it.
After all, if we do not cover health costs for illegal aliens, then
where will those illegal aliens go?
Don’t answer that. For whom will
those illegal aliens illegally vote?
Don’t answer that. And after all,
aren’t we, the powerful elite, subject to the very same laws that we force upon
you? Don’t.
Of
course, the liberal elites do not phrase it this way. They are much more polished in their
delivery. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who designed the ACA,
filibustered Megyn Kelly as she asked the obvious questions which the liberals
never answer. The You Tube Video is at
Emanuel
has a very polished delivery, but his arrogance and elitism dominate all
that. Don’t fall for it. There is a difference between being smart,
and being cunning. Emanuel is not smart.
Of
course, if you decide to let him run your life, that is your decision to make,
not mine. I’m just not smart enough to
make that decision for you.
