Charles Krauthammer wrote another terrific article that everyone should read. In it he discusses how Obama and other liberals refuse to believe what the Scott Brown election tells us - that the people don't want the Democrat's health care bill or just about any of their proposed legislation. The people do want change, just not the Obama type of change. And yet in the State of the Union address Obama vows that he will get his health care bill regardless of the fact that the majority don't want it. I love how Krauthammer explains why Obama and the liberals are acting this way:

This being a democracy, don't the Democrats see that clinging to this agenda will march them over a cliff? Don't they understand Massachusetts?Well, they understand it through a prism of two cherished axioms: (1) The people are stupid and (2) Republicans are bad. Result? The dim, led by the malicious, vote incorrectly.

Don't you just love that? The sad part is that he is probably correct in his conclusion of how liberals think. And the rest of Krauthammer's article is just as perceptive and fascinating. So, I recommend that you take a few moments to read his whole article The Great Peasant Revolt of 2010 in the Washington Post at:

Enjoy!

Short Retort

I watched a clip of Obama’s train ride to DC and he said something which I honestly didn’t understand. At one of the whistle stops (I love that phrase and all it evokes!) President Elect Obama promised that “We will continue fighting for you every day.” In fact he repeated this line at additional whistle stops.

Uhm, excuse me? He won. He will be President and his party will control both the Senate and the House. So who exactly will he be fighting? Who is this enemy for “to fight” is to suppose that there is an opponent that needs to be fought. And yes, my greatest fear is that as Pogo said back in the 60’s “I have met the enemy and he is us.”
