R. Emmett Tyrrell: "Everything's Just Fine"
A big thanks to Mark Levin for referring to R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s piece at the American Spectator, titled, Everything's Just Fine. It's worthy of your precious time and here are a couple of paragraphs to whet your appetite:
Like I said in my August 11th post, it must be real embarrassing to be a democrat these days. And as a conservative, I see that the more abusive the left is to mainstream Americans, the more transparent and unbecoming they are.
So again I say, keep on trash talking the American people, Ms. Pelosi, Sen. Reid and President Obama and your minions. Most of us know who you are already, but the more you trash us, the more you awake the masses as to what you are all about.
By the way, why don't you just argue the issues at the town hall meetings instead of trashing those critical of your proposed legislation? That's a rhetorical question, obviously. We KNOW why you can't argue the issues.
WASHINGTON -- Allow me a word of encouragement to our president. Mr. Obama, you are doing just fine. You wanted to set a new tone in Washington, and you have. You wanted an open debate on health care, and you have it. Admittedly, the tone is astoundingly rancorous, and not incidentally your approval ratings continue to decline. Then too, support for your health care reform is dropping, especially among independents. Yet I believe you can take heart. You have roused the interest of the American people in you, the Democratic Party, the Congress, and health care. That is good news, at least for us conservatives. Again, you are doing fine. Ever larger numbers of Americans are alarmed by you, your party, the Congress, and your health care monstrosity. Mr. President, you are doing fine. Keep it up. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.There's more and you'll want to read it.
Truth be known, what else were we to expect from the new administration? In the Senate our president was the most left-wing member by a lot. That is a fact, clearly visible to those who followed his voting record. He is also the least experienced major-party presidential candidate in over a century. As for his experience before he entered upon his brief political career, he has never been in the private sector where he might have gained knowledge about profit margins, the difficulty of maintaining a workforce, or the burden of even a slight tax increase. His sole experience has been a fleeting period teaching law and the anomalous experience of being a community organizer, that is to say, a rabble-rouser who organizes needy people to pester governments and corporations for cash or services.
This campaign for health care reform has been an ongoing chaos. From all I have been able to tell, the Obama White House is a chaos too. The other day I heard of a highly placed White House staffer, with glittering credentials, who sits in a cubicle answering 300-400 urgent e-mails a day. That only reinforces the reports that this White House is nearing a state of "burn out." The word circulating about the Democrats is that they are "desperate" over the state of the Obama health care plan. They have reason to be and my guess is that things will get much worse. Democrats, what were you thinking of when you nominated the most left-wing and inexperienced candidate in the 2008 Democratic field?
