There’s going to come a point where the Democrats have invested so much political capital in this debacle that they have no choice but to plow ahead and pass something.
Senator Ted Kennedy’s body is barely cool and the left is playing the “emotional” card. The Huffington Post is awash with articles on why we must pass KennedyCare for Senator Kennedy’s political legacy, the need for a comprehensive reform of…health-care…as a deeply moral issue, to mitigate the cruel effects of economic inequality, the identity of the Democratic Party, because care shouldn’t depend on your financial resources, and due to more than 70 percent of the American public agrees that a public option for health care is a good idea.
Even the All Obama Channel (ABC) is reporting on “Win One for Teddy.”
How about we “win one” for our children, our children’s children, and Mary Jo Kopechne?
How about we drop the left’s emotional blather and continue examining the vacuous arguments for KennedyCare?
Political Legacy
Senator Kennedy’s political legacy is one of soaring deficit spending, duplicitous bi-partisanship, and an entrenched representation of possibly the most leftist state in the union — Taxachusetts.
Deeply Moral Issue
Ted Kennedy’s moral compass historically pointed to “true South,” as evidenced by his drunkeness and Mary Jo Kopechne’s death.
Economic Inequality
The Kennedy family’s fortune is also awash with booze, and it has been used to foist a far-left political agenda on the country for decades. Only John had the wherewithal to understand freedom, service, sacrifice, and tax equity for rich and poor. Ted Kennedy’s harping on economic inequality is hollow and the blatant racism of the Boston busing debacle can never be forgotten. It can never be forgotten because Ted Kennedy’s constituents were the ones who opposed the busing designed to end economic and educational inequalities. Yet, the left now expects the rest of the country to forget the real attitude of Massachusetts Democrats on the issue of equality, in conjunction with the century-plus Democrat hatred of African-Americans.
Identity of the Democratic Party
The Democrat’s “identity” is already well entrenched. Taxation, immorality, runaway spending, paying-off special interests and large donors with political favors, arrogance, condescension, vilifying average Americans as Nazis, and emotional politicization of issues. If KennedyCare is passed over the objections of Americans, then our children and our children’s children have every right to hate us, the Democrats, and and weak-willed Republicans.
Financial Resources
One can hardly forget the Obama supporter flushed with excitement as she exclaimed she no longer had to pay her mortgage. Of course, Obama is not going to pay the young lady’s mortgage; Obama expects hard working, tax-paying Americans to pay her mortgage. The very same people Obama expects to foot the bill for KennedyCare, trillions in deficit spending, and his radical socialist programs. Financial “perks” and the tax base for those perks earmarked for Democrat supporters are the responsibility of Americans who oppose runaway spending in Washington and who, in Obama’s, Pelosi’s, Reids, and the leftist’s eyes have no right to free speech.
Support for KennedyCare
As the left continues to parade inflated numbers before the American public (courtesy of the mainstream media and left-leaning blogs), the figures the Democrats and their supporters use are blatant lies. First and foremost is the number of uninsured Americans, which includes illegal aliens. Yet, despite their disavowing illegals will be covered under KennedyCare, the millions of illegals are still included int he “uninsured” figure and the Democrats refuse to close the bill’s current loop-hole that would provide illegals care under the current plan. Add to the left’s disingenuous use of a figure like “70% support,” and we quickly see that facts don’t get in the way of the left’s onward march to financial oblivion for generations of Americans.
The Truth
Rush Limbaugh said it best:
No matter where you watch television today – even if you turn on FOX – you are going to get the syrupy – everything they say is going to be predictable: let’s put aside our differences for today and respect the great work and achievements of Sen. Kennedy. I am going to vomit and puke all over everyone with this analysis today.
Although Mr. Limbaugh’s nausea results from the mainstream media’s treatment of a drunken sot who has sought to tax non-Massachusetts residents to death for years, what’s really sickening is the blatant thuggery of the left and its “using” Kennedy’s death to enslave working Americans. KennedyCare is unconscienable. It’s evil. And it’s immoral. As it was when it was known as Obamacare or any other moniker the left has used before attaching health care overhaul to a dead Kennedy’s name.
KennedyCare must be killed. And Kennedy’s legacy demands it be drowned — for Mary Jo and the children.
