One of John F. Kennedy’s more famous and insightful quotes was, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” I would submit that the DNC and its odious water-carriers, in characterizing vigorous dissent from Democratic healthcare reform efforts as an affront to democracy, have started the country down that path. Exhibit A? For the unpardonable sin of passing out Gadsden flags outside a townhall meeting held by Congressman Russ Carnahan of Missouri, an opponent of “ObamaCare” was physically assaulted by a union thug.
And yet according to Democratic Congresscritters it’s the opponents of ObamaCare who are engaging in “Brownshirt tactics”.
For the record: I have never received a thin dime from any GOP officeholder, candidate, lobbyist, or affiliated special interest. I am not even a registered Republican; I’m an unenrolled voter, and to the extent I pull the lever for Republicans it’s because they’re usually not quite as corrupt and authoritarian a gaggle of collectivists as modern Democrats. I just as often vote for Libertarian Party candidates. The only time I have ever donated money to a political campaign was during last year’s Republican presidential primary, in the amount of $25. I get more political advocacy junk mail from Democrats than I do from Republicans. My views are, in other words, my own. So why would an independent thinker oppose ObamaCare?
