During my recent interview with Ari David, he mentioned that he perceived his generation as ‘Reagan / South Park Conservatives’. It is with this reference in mind, that I make this point.
During South Park Episode 1205, a sub-plot saw the character ‘Cartman’ poses as a Latino high school teacher named “Mr. Cartmenez” at a under-preforming urban high school. During this time, “Mr. Cartmenez”, installs the values of ‘cheating‘ to motivate, and improve the lives of his students.
LANGUAGE WARNING
Much like this example, the final scoreboard was 219 vote for Health Care Reform. The final score does not count the kick backs, the arm twisting, or back room deals needed for the final vote. Nor did it count the fact the bill being voted upon, was an incomplete Senate version, originally passed merely as a procedural vote pending a final amendment. All that counted for Pelosi at the end of the day, was the 219 ‘Cartmanesque’ votes for Obamacare.
Now Obama and the Democrats have to sell (convince people), what they passed by force was worthwhile. What you will instead see, will be the Democrats still attacking those raising reasonable concerns over Obamacare. What Pelosi and her ilk showed, was their ignorance conquers all when emotional rationalization, and self justification are added. When the dust settles, the middle class will see what Obamacare offers, and how much it will hinder them. That is, if the dust can be allowed to settle.
Act 2: Orchestrated Distractions: And so starts the next thorny issue of public debate on Immigration Reform. Any rage over Health Care Reform, or worrying about Obamacare will be pushed aside while a new battle is fought.
Welcome to the tactic of Orchestrated Distraction. Compared to the 12 months it took to pass Obamacare, November 2nd is a hard deadline they can’t get around. So expect the push for Immigration Reform, Economic Reform, Cap & Trade to be rammed past the House and Senate. Even if Obama loses the Democrat controlled House in November, Obama gets everything he needed in time. Even if the Senate loses a few Democrats in the Mid-terms, Obama can still pass everything he want in the Senate, by tweaking the rules and pushing for reconciliation with the 51 remaining Democrat votes.
The fact is this, Obama and Pelosi wont let the dust settle until they are finished implementing the most expensive social engineering program the world has ever seen. After which, a few billion spent on Iraq, and Afghanistan for eight plus years of warfare will be viewed as a bargain.
Hold onto your hats folks, we’re not even close to the end.
