the fervency
This is, I guess, Barack Obama’s version of “The Works”.
Okay, try this one.
In response to:
I spent some time yesterday talking on Canadian radio, explaining health-care reform to our neighbors to the north. They were a bit puzzled at what’s been going on down here. Why, they wanted to know, was there all that talk about “socialism” when the reform left in place the private insurance system? And why were people so angry? I found it a little hard to explain without going into an hour-long history of right-wing populism in America.
We get.:
Waldman, I pity the poor Canadians whom you subjected to your left-wing populist spin justifying the toxic stew of WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION that is also known as health care “reform.” I’m sure you could have gone on to enlighten our northern neighbors with your take on the “history of right-wing populism in America” and for their sake I am glad you spared them additional lies and distortions.
So you perceive that the “small group of Tea Party activists” are angry, eh? Just them? Not the vast majority of the American people? Could it be that there is great widespread anger because the American people were deceived into voting for a “transformational” candidate for president who would “change the culture of Washington” and work in a bipartisan manner on his signature issue with open hearings televised on C-SPAN? Now everyone sees the soothing lies of the race-baiting spin doctor Axelrod exposed for the utter deception they were as the administration continues fixed on their agenda of WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION, with it’s planned sequel of AMNESTY for the illegal invaders (you and your ilk prefer the euphemism “undocumented workers”) to turn millions of mostly Mexican peasants into grateful voting Democrats.
So, we have LIES on a breathtaking scale, considering that we’re talking about the future of the United States. We also have stupendous HYPOCRISY. People remember LBJ and the leftist mandarins of 1965 determined to transform the party of Jim Crow, police dogs and fire hoses (Bull Connor, Democratic National Committee member) into the freespending behemoth “friend” of the black, poor, and otherwise oppressed peoples. Never mind that it did more to destroy the strengths of the black family than any other factor and created a generational cycle of dependency that greatly decreased the quality of life for every resident of our large cities. Now the glittering prize of millions more Democrats to turn American completely blue forever beckons. To sordid apologists for continued American degradation like yourself, it doesn’t matter that these masses of mostly low skill Mexicans have shown a great disinclination to learn enough English to properly assimilate into American society, a prediliction to form and join violent criminal gangs, a propensity for drug trafficking and a palpable contempt for American law enforcement. You have tremendous chutzpah to talk about the “thuggery” of a few catcalls and insults directed at House Democrats sashaying and strutting into the Capitol to finalize their WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION when the current administration declines to do anything about the club wielding terrorists of the New Black Panther Party who terrorized a Philadelphia polling place or the ongoing pernicious street actions of ACORN. You are the essence of what many Americans loathe, a “progressive” elite mandarin gated community hypocrite who desires only to perpetuate and strengthen the socialist welfare state that America is fast becoming. Yes, we’re angry, Waldman, and we clearly see who is on our side and who is not

Huh. It’s like, he’s never heard of the Canadian Health Care system and it’s… system of “wealth distribution”, lower case or upper case as circumstances warrent? Skip a beat and the “Sordid apologist for Continued American Degredation” is — apparently, a job description.
Look at Waldman, the sordid apologist for continued American degradation, for example. The liberal chattering classes, as embodied by the regular denizens of this site, are mostly quite dangerously employed. Perhaps some might find it refreshing to hear from a point of view that is different from their “raelity.”
Maybe he should go back to filling out his NRSC brackets? I don’t quite understand how the party can fit the categories of “Have No Shame” against, oh “Rubber Stamp” — but the actual NCAA tournament has no geographical significance in slotting “West”, “East”, “North”, and “South” brackets.
Turn to the Conservapedia for more coverage.
The betrayal of Christ comes a week early this year, as more than a dozen so-called pro-life Democrats vote to open the floodgates to taxpayer-funded abortion tonight. Judas betrayed with a kiss; these fake pro-lifers betray with the fig leaf of an Executive Order that can be rescinded in a heartbeat and will not stop the funding anyway.
Conservapedia is keen on some rather odd court cases. They’re taking to championing the various states’s attempts to repeal the new law.
South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Louisiana, Alabama, Michigan, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Washington, Idaho, South Dakota and Florida have filed suit in northern Florida to overturn the health care bill. Virginia has filed a separate lawsuit in Richmond, using a state statute that blocks the federal mandate. “It really is nothing more than a wholesale takeover of large portions of state institutions and programs.” [6]
And, puzzlingly and curiously, a Conservative Cause I’d never heard about.:
Our own Andy Schlafly takes over as lead counsel for the Committee to Recall Robert Menendez from the Office of United States Senator. This will be a precedent-setting case, because no Senator or Representative has ever been recalled before. [32] NJ Tea Parties United and the Sussex County Tea Party are seeking to force the Senator’s removal because of his support of health-care reform and past votes to increase government spending.[33]
Who knew? What a bizarre cauldron of oddities this site is.
On this day in 1775, Patrick Henry proclaims “Give me liberty, or give me death.” He never did mention anything about healthcare.
Touche?
