The Sauron-Statist blindness, part 2: Obama

Yesterday I wrote about how Nancy Peliso and her statist allies (those who believe the government is more important than the liberty of the people, and that the state is the solution to every problem) share a quality with Sauron: the assumption that everyone thinks the way you do.

I wrote about how Pelosi accused people who disagree with her on health care of carrying swastikas and similar symbols - either calling liberty-loving Americans Nazis or saying it's a common tactic they use in protesting - but it's the San Fransisco protesters, the people who voted Pelosi into office - who use Nazi symbols, not conservatives.

Pelosi has also stated that people who disagree with her are afraid of the facts and drowning out the conversation.

Again, this is Pelosi assuming that others will do the same things she does, think the same way she, Obama, and the other Statists behind the bill think.

  1. Obama says he wants his opponents to stop talking. He's the one who wants their conversation drowned out.
    "But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking."
  2. The White House has (illegally), requested that you report your friends if they are expressing disagreement with the Obama/Pelosi state run health care plan. Compiling an enemies list (it will be compiled, because it's illegal for the White House to delete email correspondence) is a scare tactic to shut down the opposing voices of the American public.
  3. Obama spoke about why everyone should fall in line with his plan, giving a number of guarantees, then admitting he hadn't read the bill, and didn't know what it said.
  4. Pelosi has been misrepresenting the bill and lying about the Americans who disagree with her.

The people who disagree with health care, are asking substantive questions about the facts of the bill. Obama, Pelosi, and the others driving the effort for State controlled health care are misrepresenting the facts and are doing whatever they can to silence the voices of the American voters.

Like Sauron, they are unable to see past their own desire for power, assuming that everyone else thinks like them.

We need to throw the ring into mount doom by standing up against what they're doing and voting in better representatives.

    Kind of unrelated, but kind of not - I disagree with the way you're using "statist" to apply to the "Left". The "Right" is just as statist, just about different things. I might argue that "Left" and "Right" on the political spectrum are really just left and right on the statism spectrum.

    Both are pretty heinous to me, it's all still statism.
