Pelosi: ObamaCare is the beginning of taking America “in a new direction”

At that time, nobody in Congress hinted at a Slaughter solution. Obama, the WH, and the Democrats are openly telling us how they will subvert our Constitution, when they will do this, and that we will like it one way or the other. Call us crazy if you want, but there is sufficient reason to be alarmed with the shenanigans and unlawfulness in DC.

Yep. Well put.

Just as one example, as if you yourself haven’t presented a hundred the past year, he’s cranking up talks over ‘climate change’ legislation already.

The Precedent is just pushing the system to failure on every imaginable front (as he really doesn’t think he’ll get this through, or find much enthusiasm for this among the dems). People might disagree with me over The Precedent’s deepest motivations, but no one has ever made a mistake by assuming that The Precedent will do whatever move is seen to harm the US the most. Even in the one area where he eventually succumbed and made a decision in the correct direction (troop surge in Afghanistan), those of us who understood his motivating philosophy predicted the dithering from the start, as the dithering itself was the tactic, not the troop levels.

This is going to be full-court press by The Precedent up until the very end. As to why people think he is doing it, that differs, but once one takes into account that The Precedent isn’t a bright guy (he just talked about “reducing health insurance premiums by 3000%”!!) then his only possible motivations become very clear. It’s either Cloward-Piven or revenge. I side with revenge, because I understand how The Precedent holds Western leftists in contempt, along with the rest of us – as Europe is finally starting to realize.

The exact Precedential quote, from a health scare rally today in Ohio, is:

“How many people are getting insurance throught their jobs right now, raise your hands, alot of those folks, your employer, it’s estimated would see premiums fall by as much as 3000 percent so they could give you a raise”

It’s difficult to exagerrate the stupidity of a person who would say something such as this – most 8th graders would know better. But, this is right in line with his “profit and earnings ratios” brilliance.

What I don’t understand is what drives Obama to hate the country. I agree with you that he is dishonest and dangerous but I wish I knew why he has such a vendetta against the country that has given him so much.

I believe that his personality was mostly formed while in Indonesia. He carries with him a third world sense of grievance against the US and the West and has particular black issues mixed in with that. Since way back in the campaign, the Indonesian Imbecile always sounded very much to me like Argentinians (and others) I had met who had been imbued with an anti-capitalist, anti-US attitude that stretched beyond all reason. There is a hate of America and the West that percolates around the third world that is quite astounding. It’s mostly jealousy and envy, but there is a deep-seated cultural antipathy that drives it, and it always appeared to me that The Precedent absorbed this anti-Western attitude – both from his time in Indonesian where he said he “was a little Jakarta street kid” and the America-hating commies he was surrounded by his whole life.

This was in addition to his obvious lack of any actual American sensibilities and his penchant for making truly “un-American” mistakes that no one raised in this culture would ever make (like the “57 states” idiocy). Many people let these little indications go by during the campaign, but to me they showed how un-American the imbecile is and how detached he is from our nation.

I realized that his main efforts were organized towards revenge when he answered a question about capital gains in one of the primary debates. The hypothetical was proposed that a capital gains tax hike would result in reduced receipts to the government and the Indonesian Imbecile was asked if he would still be in favor of the tax hike, to which he said that he still wanted it, because “it’s a matter of fairness”. To me, that showed that he was far more interested in exacting revenge and bringing pain to certain people than to funding anything or redistributing any money. The Precedent would rather burn people’s money … as “a matter of fairness”.

That’s what did it for me.

He is a man of average talent and apparently below average talent in a number of areas. Do you think that he resents having been elevated to such a high place despite his lack of actual ability.

No. I think he thinks he deserves it. There is an obnoxious, and ridiculous, sense of superiority among many third worlders that is just like this.

And thanks, MormonDoc … and I’m with you on highhopes.
