Dems Continue to Inflame National Tension
L
et us get this straight. The Democrats ram through a health care bill that most
Americans dislike using a series of backroom deals, legislative shenanigans and
strong-arm tactics, while simultaneously breaking a series of campaign promises
related to C-SPAN, transparency and open government.
These actions and the arrogance displayed by the party in power enrages a large
segment of the American public, to such a degree that it essentially creates a
new political party in the United States, comprised largely of senior citizens
concerned with the direction of the nation.
At the culmination of the legislative battle, some remnants of the new political
tea party allegedly verbally assault some Democratic lawmakers. After the final
signing of the unpopular bill, several Democrat lawmakers are the recipients of
broken windows and other acts of vandalism. One Republican lawmaker has his
office shot at.
So who's to blame for all this? The Republicans, of course ("Protests out of bounds,"
March 26). Not the Democrats. Not the tea party. The Republicans. Evidently, it's the
job of the Republican Party to support everything the Democrats are doing, to defend the arrogant behavior of
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to the American public, to
ensure that there are no consequences for despicable behavior in Congress, and to protect the party in power
from their own incompetence.
You've got to be kidding us. The "blame
Republicans" mantra is getting old, and nobody but the radical left is buying it anymore.
As the saying goes, the Democrats made their bed, and now they are lying in it. They are
reaping what they sowed. The Republicans too are unfortunate victims of the arrogance of the
Democrats. Americans are watching their children's future go down the drain, tens of thousands
of dollars of debt on each of their heads the day they are born. I hardly think a few broken
windows are the story of the day. Unfortunate, yes. But not nearly as unfortunate as the fact
that Americans have handed power to people as incompetent, arrogant, shameful and power-hungry
as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barak Obama.
