The unpersons speak up – again.
Today’s assurances by the White House, The DNC and Nancy Pelosi that Nazis, thugs, mobsters and scum don’t actually exist and are not showing up to question the delivered wisdom of Democrats appears to have been mistimed – or an outright lie.
Because those Nazis, thugs, mobsters and scum - who appear to be regular people to non-Democrat politicians – are most assuredly showing up – and making life very, very difficult for the pampered political class.
One elderly man yelled out, “It’s a Socialist country!” Others clapped.
Weiner tried to calm them down.
“Let’s turn down the rhetoric,” he pleaded.
One senior wanted to know how the government would pay for a program to cover some 47 million uninsured Americans.
“Where are the doctors and nurses going to come from to cover all these new people?” he asked.
Sheryl Debling, who declined to give her age, but was not a member of the senior center, came to the meeting to get some answers.
“Where is the money going to come from?” she asked. “You are bankrupting our country. You guys are crooks.”
“You have a lot of good talking points,” Weiner told her, clearly frustrated.
It’s not only the fact people are very suspicious of government taking over an entire industry that’s dooming this scheme, but it’s the smug arrogance, the imperious pomposity of the Weiners of the world that will relegate this to the dustbin. Here you have a man whose entire career is based on focus group talking points and tired liberal cliches whining that someone is using talking points, as if a constituent who’s speaking his or her mind is carefully coached on what to say in public like Weiner is.
The Democrats are playing a very dangerous game here with the constant references to people being un-American, racist and evil-mongers, all simply for exercising their freedom of speech. A slippery slope they may not be happy to be riding down pretty soon if they don’t wise up and start respecting the very people they work for.
Please go over and read the whole thing – it is actually worse than the excerpt indicates. These are really, genuinely upset people trying to get their elected representative to listen. And it is very, very obvious that the politician does not get it.
We have a problem here, folks. We have a political class that thinks it can simply dictate what people can think, do or say and are completely flummoxed when the mob does not act in accordance with the dictates of the politicians.
This nation once rebelled against taxation without representation. I think we are now seeing a revolt against representation without cognition.
