Rules of Engagement - Health Care and Terror

In high school staff rooms throughout America, public employees meeting halls in California, trial lawyer shindigs in Baton Rouge - the left are stunned to witness their elected officials line up to walk the plank. Or should we say the average Democrat is stunned. Party operatives - the far left - are not at all concerned; this is the trade off to insure a massive and permanent new layer of government control on Americans. If some must be sacrificed, just as communist labor organizer Mac sacrificed Jim in Steinbeck’s In Dubious Battle, so be it.

We have dedicated several past posts to this topic - the disconnect. Most of our readers understand the phenomena. The majority of Americans don’t want this health scam but KEY - since it was never about health anyway, in the minds of present day Democratic party operatives (none of whom Truman or JFK would recognize) that is beside the point. These types don’t play by the usual rules. As one observer put, "they’re not wired that way." This explains what has become known as the disconnect.

BO seems to many to be deaf. He is not. As we all have witnessed, he and other radicals won’t moderate as most reasonable people expect them to do, even if it means losing the majority. Their aim is to construct another layer between individuals and their independent actions, to change the relationship of state (servant) and individual (master), the Founders intent, to just the reverse. Given the nature of health care the change the far left has in mind won’t be rolled back, thus the perfect vehicle for their agenda. This is to be their legacy.

So, near-term consequences are not a consideration for these types. Thus, to folk who may not agree with this agenda this makes them doubly dangerous - they are fanatics. My son-in-law and others in Afg are asked to fight in an arena where we also find that rules of engagement have changed, where radical Muslim thugs willingly sacrifice themselves and their own kind, welcoming self-destruction in pursuit of their agenda - the eradication of a free Western civilization.

What’s the difference?
