The Totalitarian Progressive movement is elitist to it’s core. They believe that only the Radical Left has the answers to society’s problems. The health-care debate is an example of their arrogant world view. They seek to silence and mock opponents and then whine when their tactics don’t work or are used against them.
It didn’t take chaotic town-hall meetings, raging demonstrators and consequent brooding in various sectors of the media to bring home the truth that the campaign for a health-care bill is, to put it mildly, not going awfully well. It’s not hard now to envision the state of this crusade with just a month or two more of diligent management by the Obama team—think train wreck. It may one day be otherwise in the more perfect world of universal coverage, but for now disabilities like the tone deafness that afflicts this administration from the top down are uninsurable.
Consider former ABC reporter Linda Douglass—now the president’s communications director for health reform—who set about unmasking all the forces out there “always trying to scare people when you try to bring them health insurance reform.” People, she charged, are taking sentences out of context and otherwise working to present a misleading picture of the president’s proposals. One of her key solutions to this problem—her justly famed message encouraging citizens to contact the office at flag@whitehouse.gov if they got an email or other information about health reform “that seems fishy”—set off a riotous flow of online responses. (The word “fishy,” with its police detective tone, would have done the trick all by itself.)
Read the rest.
They can’t stand criticism and despise their opponents. In their worldview, they know what is good for us and we should be quiet. With people waking up to the Eugenicist nature of their agenda, they are desperate.
How dare we resist what is good for us! That is how these Totalitarian Progressives think. I say too bad and deal with it! This is not a dictatorship, yet.
Update: Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) is being grilled in a town hall that FOX is showing live.
