Boehner’s Opportunity

Thomas Sowell always has good insights.  I wish he would respond to my Blueprint for a Capitalist Revolution, but I am of course one of thousands that has opinions expressed repeatedly, and most of us are stupid.  I will say that I understand fully that my plan will cause economic chaos for six months or a year.  So, too, will our inevitable default.  There is no conceivable scenario by means of which we are able to pay Social Security and Medicaid at current rates 10 years from now.  We needed massive budget cuts, and increases in FICA taxes years ago.  And in any event, our system is unjust, immoral.  Most of us work to make a very few rich, without their having produced any real goods or services at all.

Be that as it may, this is a good sentence:

If the continued existence of mathematics depended on the ability of
the Republicans to defend the proposition that two plus two equals four,
that would probably mean the end of mathematics and of all the things
that require mathematics.

We need to understand that the Democrats are vastly overplaying their hand.  Daily, now, Obamacare supporters are finding out that their premiums are going up DRAMATICALLY.  This is now not in the realm of rhetorical possibility.  It is not Us versus Them, our common sense versus their “experts”.  It is reality.

Of course, my own premiums have roughly tripled since Obamacare passed, but there are many out there who seemingly have held out hope that these Exchanges would fix all that.  They are making it worse.

And we are seeing veterans ARRESTED for visiting public parks, parts which in theory belong to the Demos of the Democrats. We are seeing priests threatened with arrest for performing masses for FREE.  We are seeing Park Service personnel put in OVERTIME to shut down open air monuments to an American history which Obama not only does not own, but most of which he holds in disdain.

These are high explosive rhetorical rounds that can be brought to bear for a full broadside not just against Obama, not just against Democrats, but against the Leftist project outright.  We are at a point where the American people are PISSED off, and all that needs to happen is a clear message–LEADERSHIP–coming from Boehner and senior Republican leaders.

This is not about a budget negotiation.  This is about competing visions of the American future.  Do we want to live in a nation where the government thinks public parks belong to it, that we can only visit them when it deems fit?  Do we want to live in a nation where our leaders can openly lie about the outcome of laws, and get away with it?  Obama said premiums for most would stay the same or go down.  As far as I can tell, this hasn’t happened for ANYONE.  How could it?  More service is being provided. More people are being covered, a great many at taxpayer expense.

Folks, the whole thing is simple: simple message, said by everyone, repeated often, that in our case happens also to have the salutary added benefit of being true.

Here are examples: Obama lied when he said your premiums would stay the same.  He lied when he said you could keep your doctor.  He lied when he said you could keep your plan.

Obamacare will make all our problems WORSE.  This is the simple message.
