Sometimes I get angry about what's going on around this country. I see Democrats and the Liberal news media ripping, criticizing and outright lying about the people who are protesting President Obama's health care plan.
They call the criticism "phony" or "manufactured" and the people are pawns of the Republicans and drug companies. As if these people do not have enough brains to form their own opinions.
People like Nancy Pelosi and Keith Olbemann are saying these protests are being "organized."
Ummm...so what? Isn't "organizing" community protests the biggest part of Obama's resume?
Anyway...I am too fired up on this issue, so I will refer to a post by theCL, who hits this out of the proverbial ballpark in his post "Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer are Un-American Traitors!"
Nancy Pelosi, the United States Speaker of the House and #2 most powerful elected official, first claimed that Americans who went to "townhall meetings," so they could voice their opinion against the health care bill, were "carrying swastikas and symbols like that." Of course, she lied.
Today, she (along with Steny Hoyer (D-MD)) published an op-ed in USA Today, labeling the protesters as "un-American." Let's test her claims, because this is just more Democratic Triangulation.
First, Pelosi's "Nazi" claim ... The term Nazi refers to Adolf Hitler's National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The Nazi Party's "Twenty-Five Point Programme" includes:
... that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens ... the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations ... profit-sharing in large enterprises ... extensive development of insurance for old-age … land reform suitable to our national requirements …
Hmmm ... sounds a lot like the Democratic Party platform if you ask me. In a 1931 interview, Hitler told a pro-business newspaper:
“I want everyone to keep what he has earned subject to the principle that the good of the community takes priority over that of the individual. But the State should retain control; every owner should feel himself to be an agent of the State… The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners.”
Once again, we have an eery correlation to the Democratic Party platform. The Nazis hated "profit." In it's place, the economy was "guided" through regulation, based on the needs of the State. The Nazi State used government takeovers and/or threats of takeover, in order to get companies to comply. Nazi's heavily regulated agriculture, hated big banks, demanded 2-years mandatory volunteer service to the State, favored abortion of "undesirables," and promoted a "green" economy.
Oh, and the Nazis were strongly favored nationalized health care too!
