Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Sometimes it’s better to just let them do my talking for me.
I can talk until I’m blue in the face about the Democrat’s desire to keep their base dependent, and how they truly believe that the voting public is incapable of cognitive thought. I can draw examples and comparisons showing conclusively how the liberal Democrats currently in control of both Houses of Congress and the White House are blatantly driving the country toward socialism and away from the very principles upon which America was founded. But all my efforts, as well prepared and convincing as they may be, pale by comparison to a short news conference with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker Pelosi made it clear that she and her Democrat counterparts are convinced that Americans are so stupid that she can even tell us how they plan to deceive us and we still won’t be able to figure it out.
While making one of the few public statements regarding the closed door Democrat ramrod healthcare proposals Speaker Pelosi said that American families “shouldn’t be left on their own ‘to negotiate with insurance companies”. The only solution for this problem of limited personal mental ability is the inclusion of the “public option” government run health insurance into the ObamaCare healthcare package. However, because the public option is so publicly unpopular Speaker Pelosi said it should be renamed. Not refined, re-explained or reversed, simply renamed. She went on to suggest it now be called the “consumer option”. Well, that certainly clears things up for me. As long as it’s a consumer program and not a public program I’m on board. NOT!
It is important to understand exactly what the Speaker is saying.
First, Americans are incapable of handling their own private family affairs. We are too stupid to make a decision as important as which company we will choose to carry our health insurance and what we are willing to, and more importantly, capable of paying for it. We are not qualified to figure out which plan best suits our needs or which coverage options we should buy for ourselves and our families. We simply cannot be left on our own and therefore we need to become dependent on the government to tell us what we want.
Secondly, because many of us understand the nightmare that government run health insurance would bring and vehemently oppose losing our rights to make our own healthcare choices Democrats are prepared to simply trick us into support by calling the untenable plan by a different name. Plus, Speaker Pelosi made it clear that they think we are so stupid that even after they tell us how they plan to trick us we will still want to go along.
The arrogance of this Speaker to tell Americans that they cannot be left alone to make their own healthcare choices is so profound as to be almost unbelievable. In fact, had this piece of the socialist pie been leaked from one of the many closed door meetings it surely would have been denied.
But thanks to Speaker Pelosi’s pubic admission of her adamant belief in and reliance upon American stupidity no such denial will be plausible. That is not to say that it won’t be tried. Already Democrats fearful of being handed their walking papers in the mid-term elections are trying to spin the Speakers comments into something less offensive. Their success in this endeavor is entirely dependent on whether or not Speaker Pelosi is correct.
Are we in fact really that stupid?
