Special Notice To Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer:
You and your liberal, 'progressive' cohorts have stated your case for government-controlled healthcare over and over again, ad nauseum. You admit that the idea has been proposed for over a century. We are tired of your lies concerning free market solutions and the 'public option' provision that is designed, ultimately, to drive private insurers out of business. We, the people, now wish to be heard. And THAT is why there is shouting at your townhall meetings. We do not want you to come to us with more lies. We want you to listen and acknowledge our concerns and our opposition to your proposals. If that makes us 'un-American,' then this does nothing but prove your absolutely worthlessness as public servants, highlighting the dire need of the citizens to rid Congress of your ilk.
In a stunning op-ed today in USA Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrat Majority Leader Steny Hoyer stated that the attacks against their proposed government takeover of healthcare is 'un-American.'
They further state that proposals such as the one they have approved in Waxman's committee in the House have been around ever since Teddy Roosevelt, 100 years ago.
Isn't that plenty enough time for the citizens of this country to decide they don't want such snake-oil cures for a problem that a few minor adjustments will correct?
The fact of the matter is that Pelosi, Hoyer, and their Democrat colleagues, including the Blue Dogs, do not understand the feelings of the American people. We don't want them to simply use townhall meetings to deliver the same Obama-mandated talking points that are designed to convince the public that we should give up our healthcare rights and let Washington make the most important decisions we will ever make.
No, Madame Pelosi, we want you to listen to us for a change!
The fact that we, the people, no longer wish to listen to your disingenuous drivel does not make us a 'mob,' or a 'group of rightwing extremists bought off by the insurance industry,' or 'un-American.' YOU are the ones who are attempting to squelch the voices of the people. So what does that make YOU?
I will tell you.
It is un-American for Democrats in Congress to pass multi-trillion dollar legislation that they have never read.
It is un-American for Democrats to hold secret sessions to pass legislation, barring the GOP from even being present. Sure, you have the votes to pass such legislation with your majority status, but is it in the American spirit to shut out the opposition and silence voices of dissent? It certainly smacks of under-the-table shenanigans to meet at 3 AM so that no one will know what you're up to.
It is un-American to refer to your constituents, the ones who helped put you in office, as a mob or un-American for merely wanting their voices to be heard by you, the ones who were supposedly elected to represent the people. It is very clear you no longer represent the people but are determined to ram down our throats a healthcare package that rations the care given to the elderly and doubles (at least) the deficit and national debt, which are already at very dangerous levels.
Finally, it is un-American for you to lie to the public. We have the statements in the press, as well as videos, which prove that the ultimate goal of your healthcare proposal is to run the private insurance industry out of business and force all Americans, eventually, into a single-payer, government-run system. Barack Obama himself stated this fact on video. Yet you continue to lie to the American people that you have no intention of doing such a thing.
And this is why Americans are angry with you. Their anger has reached the status of rage, and they are ready to vote every single incumbent out of office in 2010. Are you aware of just how deep are the feelings of the voters concerning your present course of action?
Obviously, you aren't. You are unaware because you are out of touch.
And this is why you must go.
