Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery… Winston Churchill
The Marxist messiah is the contemporary Dorian Grey. Except he is not pursing youth, beauty and fulfillment he is pursuing Marxism. Like Hans Christian Andersen’s Emperor the messiah pretends that all Americans think he is smart and deserving of his position, ignoring the fact a super majority see him as a failing Marxist.
The contemporary Emperor of Narcissism believes his court jesters and sycophant liberal media and ignores the fact that only brainless liberals and uninformed independents believe him. In his fantasy world he speaks coherently without his teleprompter and all see his wisdom. He has amassed a team of incoherent protégés to spread his message. The Garbled Knight Gibbs, Duke of Dumb Biden, Queen of Brainless Pelosi and Prince of Crooks Reid all spread his message as incoherently as the Emperor. His court jesters have gone far and wide selling his snake oil while the liberal messiah has given more than a hundred speeches selling obamacare. Yet, each time they speak the support for obamacare shrink.
In the Emperor’s New Clothes a child has the courage to proclaim the truth while the Emperor parades around naked. Our Emperor, the Marxist messiah parades his lies. Like the fairytale child, Rep Joe Wilson proclaimed the truth when he said to the Marxist messiah, “You Lie!” Obama has lied profusely to the American people. But let’s just look at the lies he told about obamacare in his speech before Congress.
Lie #1, No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions. The truth is found in Sec 4B of the Capps Amendment to HR3200; Abortions for Which Public Funding Is Allowed is the services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted.
Lie #2, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future.” The truth is offered by the CBO when they reported obamacare would add a minimum of $220 billion to the deficit over 10 years some economist estimate it will add almost a trillion dollars.
Lie #3, “Don’t pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut…That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare.” The truth is that Obama proposes to “squeeze” more than $500 billion out Medicare over the next decade. Common sense and the rules of economics says you can not add coverage and services and cut cost without cutting those services.
Lie #4, “If you lose your job or change your job, you will be able to get coverage.” The truth is employers can drop health benefits and only pay a 8% penalty and HR3200 prohibits insurance companies from enrolling new insured forcing “you” into the government plan.
OBAMA LIE #5: “The claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens, such a charge would be laughable if it weren’t so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple.” The truth is that mandatory “end of life” counseling in HR 3200 “shall” include counseling every 5 years to the elderly and gives doctors a monetary incentive to persuade terminally ill or those with diagnoses expensive to treat to chose to end their life. A perfect case study would be Oregon Government Health Care refusing to treat Barbara Wagner’s cancer and offered to pay for doctor assisted suicide because it was cheaper.
In health care, as in everything else, obama lies and lies and hopes that liberally educated and gullible Americans will believe him. But more and more Americans are seeing that Rep Wilson is right – the Emperor has no clothes!
