We've Figured Him Out

"We've Figured Him Out"

Ben Stein wrote:

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head.

Yet the liberals telling us how many will die if we don't do this is not a scare tactic?

Get in touch with reality slider.

I'm clearly in touch with reality, I pay my bills and don't ask for anything that I haven't earned through working the majority of my life.

Never looked for a free ride and I don't intend to any time soon.

But it is OK for the liberals to use scare tactics?

Ben Stein's TV ads for a scuzzy "free" credit product have finally caught up to him: The New York Times has fired Stein as a Sunday business columnist for violating ethics guidelines.

Stein was pilloried online for his endorsement of the bait-and-switch operation, which offers a free credit score but charges an outrageous $30 per month to see the credit report behind the score. As Reuters blogger Felix Salmon pointed out, consumers can get a free online report under federal law.

and we all know how vital those numbers are to our lives (actually matter very little and looking at them is enuff itself to make them fluctuate)... liberal scare tactics u say... sounds like more of the same old same old commercial capitalism at work to me... practically everything sold to the American public carries some charge of fear. before i'd point fingers at liberals id look long and hard at 8 years of bush/cheney. Fearmongering at its finest.

Being fired by the NYT should be a badge of honor.

I like this. "It's all liberal scare tactics". "No, no, it's all conservative scare tactics."

Wouldn't upset me to see every liberal and conservative in politics just vanish into some void of time and space. Then maybe the scare tactics would end. Current politics has nothing to do with right or wrong, just power plays.

amen brother. amen
