By now, you’ve all heard about the incident involving an “aide” of Democrat Senate candidate Martha Coakely, pushing a reporter. After having pushed the reporter to the ground,the “aide” thug offered to help the reporter back to his feet and then went into a blocking effort to keep the reporter away from Coakley. If you haven’t heard/seen about it, go here and catch up.
As I read the various accounts of the incident and heard various talk shows discuss the incident, it dawned on me that this incident was a perfect metaphor for the Democrat’s approach to policy.
Think of all the ways that Democrats claim to help African Americans. Hiring quotas, increasing welfare and the creation of “hate crimes” are just some of the ways that Democrats purport to aide African Americans. However, in areas where African Americans could really benefit; school vouchers and welfare reform, the Democrats kick them to the curb.
Throughout the debate for placebocare, Democrats have been telling us how essential the legislation is and how American families would be unable to afford healthcare without this plan. At the same time, their legislation kicks Seniors to the curb by reducing Medicare payments, kicks union members to the curb by taxing their cadillac plan and kicks the poor it purports to help to the curb by passing huge unfunded Medicaid increases to states that already have budget challenges.
The argument for a cap and trade tax is that we must reduce global warming. If global warming is allowed to continue, increasing temperatures will cause food shortages, rising water levels will displace millions of people and more mega storms will occur which will have a devastating effect on people and property. Of course, the Democrats seem to pass right by the fact that if cap and trade is implemented, energy costs will dramatically rise which will increase the cost of all food, all shelter, not to mention the cost of just getting to your job. Once again, welcome to the curb America!
I could cite example after example where Democrats, under the guise of “I’m here to help,” offer us something with one hand while they punch us in the gut with the other. This is exactly the behavior that Coakley’s aide exhibited and that Coakley herself didn’t even notice even though she was standing right next to the altercation.
I guess the moral to this story is that if you ever hear, “Hi, I’m a Democrat and I’m here to make your life better,” you should immediately protect yourself because the gut punch is on its way.
