Seven Signs That The Liberals Don't Care and Are Not Listening

If there is any doubt that the democrats are not listening to their constituents, there is no need to look any further than the headlines in papers.  President Obama has an agenda and by hook or crook, he's going to  get it passed.  It does not matter that the voters do not want his agenda,  the President and his party, will ram it through anyways.  The Little People will have to take it and be grateful for their supreme leader.  The voices are getting louder in the United States.  These voices asking questions and demanding answers.  Truthful answers.   Unfortunately,  Washington liberals don't care and are not listening.  
Seven signs of the liberals refusal to listen to voters are easy enough to spot.  They are everywhere and they are not buried deep.    The proof is the action and reaction to the public.  As the voters are starting to ask more questions about Healthcare reform,  the liberal elitists are looking shell shocked.  For them it is hard to believe that anyone would question their wisdom or intentions.  This is the opportunity that they have been waiting for and yet,  the voters are not going along with their plan.  Behind closed doors, they  scheme, draft legislation and pat themselves on the back.  A person's health is a very personal matter.  It is a matter of life and death.   Regardless of how voters feel about healthcare,  the President, the Senate and Congress are looking for ways to ram legislation through that would not only ruin healthcare in America, but would take away privacy, freedom and  health from every single American. Why is the government getting involved in the most personal aspects of  a person's life? The answer is obvious,  it's all about control. 
This was to be the transparent government.  This was to be the time that all doors were open  and Americans could finally see what is truly going on in the day to day activities in Washington.  In recent memory,  there does not seem to be so many doors slammed shut in Washington.  Secret deals, exclusion of Republicans, and amendments to bills passing in the middle of the night does not seem like a Republic government.  it is more akin to communism, marxist and socialism all wrapped into one neat package. The irony to all of this is that terrorists knew more about legal wiring tapping during the Bush Administration then Americans know about what is in the Cap and Trade Bill and Healthcare reform combined. 
The liberals are much to busy to worry about financial matters.  My goodness,  their plate is overflowing with pet projects which have not been dealt with in the past eight years.  Ask the average citizen what is more important to them having a job or the environment?  Common sense answer would be having a job.   The liberal answer, is saving the planet, of course.   Here is the case again,  where the government liberals steps into every home in America to make sure they have energy efficient lights. Carbon foot prints is just another way of describing humans as the monsters who destroyed earth.  It has gotten so ridiculous that one has to ask how long will be before we are all living in an Amish Paradise?  
Perhaps it would be better for the liberals to think of other things besides the financial mess.  Whenever they do think of solutions for the economy,  the first words out of their mouths are TAX.   Taxes are a punishment on achievement, period.  Not all voters can be fooled that taxes raised on the rich will only effect the wealthy.  The ugly truth behind that lie is that when the "rich" are taxed, they stop contributing to the economy.  The economy becomes stagnant.  Without the wealthy buying,  investing, and  creating jobs,  everyone suffers.  In particular,  those whose income fall below the poverty line.  The principal idea behind the Tea Party Movement is  that voters are tired of being taxed at every turn.  Every new program equals a new tax.   Speaker Pelosi's response to the Tea Parties is that it is "astroturf."   Her comments represent what many liberals in congress believe.  Again, they just don't listen. 
Liberals love to talk about poll numbers.   Polls are the very life that pulses through their vein.  Or at least it was during the Bush Administration.  Countless times Liberals in congress and in the media would point to the polls as if they were signs from above that he end of times were near because of President Bush's policies.  At this point,  Obama's job approval rating is below 50%, yet the liberals do not seem to be at all concerned.  This is a minor bump in the road for them.  As soon as the Average Joe gets on board with the social agenda, everything will be smooth sailing again.  Or will it?    Obama promised everything and nothing in the same breath during his presidential campaign.   The President is now finding that pretending to be a moderate while holding very liberal views will backfire on him.  Voters who liked Obama in November, still like him but are scratching their heads wondering where is  that moderate candidate that they voted for?  They have been lied too.  No one likes to be mislead. 
Sorry seem to be the hardest word to express.  Except for when liberals want to apologize for the countless mistakes that America has made. Yet,  it takes Eastern European countries to remind our President and liberals of what it means to be a trusted ally.  In the matters of foreign policy the current administration has decided to walk away from arms agreement to protect the allies who need it most and kowtow to dictators who would like nothing more than to see America knocked out as a super power.  Liberals don't get the concept that to be strong militarily means that America can defend itself.  One other crucial piece of evidence that the liberals don't get America's greatness,  they refuse to see the good that America has done all over the world.  From helping Europe remain free to sending supplies and equipments to areas struck by natural disasters, America has a proud history of being there when called upon.  Why is the President apologizing for America?   
 At this time in American History, they have complete power in government, yet they complain that the opposition is killing their agenda.  What to do with the nasty conservative talk shows?   Silence their voices with legislation that would discourage radio stations owners from airing these programs.   Monitor and block the internet of bloggers who express opinions different from the liberal view.  The First Amendment gives every human being the right to speech.  No matter how stealth like the Administration moves on this,  there will be no way to calm the fears of the rest of Americans.  By silencing one portion of the American public,  it allows the government to take one more step towards stripping basic rights from its citizen.  It is squashing freedom at it's core.   Americans won't allow it and should not allow it to happen.  Liberals just don't get it.  The only one who are in love with listening to their rants are themselves.  
Liberals are now finding that they are not as loved, popular and adored as they are in their own minds.  The problem with liberalism is that is is by it's own nature,  arrogant,  snobbish and self-serving.   They know better, are better and deserve better.  Well at least that is how they perceive the world.  If Americans every thought that a four year old could do a better job in congress than some elected officials.  Well, this is what a four year old would do in congress.  They will do whatever they want,  and not listen to a single soul about the effects it is reeking on everyone else.  Who cares?  As long as they are happy, nothing else seems to matter to them.

Why the Democrats Want Government Run Healthcare So Badly?

The Healthcare debate has gone on for over twenty-five years, if not longer. There have been ideas tossed about between the two parties, but nothing seems to satisfy either side.   If a foreigner were to listen to Liberal Democrats the picture of healthcare in America  would be that the medicine is awful and expensive,  doctors are crooks and people are dying due to improper medical treatment.  Especially the poor folks.  It's a know fact that when they arrive at the emergency room,  they are turned away as soon as it is discovered they don't have insurance, right?  Wrong.  However, in the liberal world this is how healthcare is perceived.  One huge industry that is in desperate need of a government takeover.  
Flipping over to the other viewpoint, we find an entirely different approach to the problem.  Conservatives have always believed that healthcare should be about the patient's dignity and privacy.  No one should be given the authority to determine what is best for the  patient.  That is a conversation between the doctor and patient.  As for the cost,  it can not be denied that the costs has escalated.  The conservative route is to find out why they have escalated and ask the industry leaders to look for common sense approach to fixing the problem.  Government price control and medical coverage is not the answer.  Medicaid is an example of how efficient the government healthcare can become.  The conservative approach has always been let the patient be in control of their own healthcare.  In the conservative eyes, this is one huge industry that should be corrected by free market ideas. 
Why is healthcare so important to the Democrats?  This is the main platform that the current president ran on.  He wants nationalized healthcare and he wanted it yesterday.  By his own admission to his party he stated, "You are going to destroy my Presidency."  The honeymoon is over for the President and he is finding that all his ideas are not going to get a green light pass.  Charming the crowds will only get you so far.  This just may be the issue that reminds him that his is not King.  Policies are not changed just because he decrees them.  What this really reveals is that he hasn't got a clue that the American voter does not want this reform.  The poll number clearly states, disapproval for the President's handling of the healthcare is at 49 percent.  The support is slipping.  
Healthcare is another way of  spending and taxing at a higher rate.   According to research conducted by the Heritage Foundation, $2.4  trillion dollars is spent on healthcare in the United States.  The government alone is responsible for almost one-half of the money spent on health care.  In order to pay the doctor's bill, what is the best way to take care of the government dilemma?  Control the industry with draconian measures which include taxing the middle class to pay for universal coverage, control the costs of  medicine, as well as doctor's salaries,  and create a governing board which will determine who will receive treatment and who won't.  This is how nationalized healthcare works.  Ask any citizen in Canada, Britain or France. 
The President has consistently lied about how his healthcare plan will work.  The idea that people will be able to keep their insurance if  they like it is ludicrous because this plan basically gets rid of private insurance.  Private insurance will no longer be available due to the fact that the government will have forced them out of business.  Employers looking to cut costs will opt for their employees to join the government's plan.  Employees will have no say in the matter.  Ask any member of congress or their staff, would they want Obamacare?  The average salary of a congress person is $174,000 per year.  Along with that salary comes benefits which includes 12 different private health insurance to choose from.  It is an assumption that our leaders will not be choosing a system where if you are young with a heart problem you may  have pacemaker to extend your life or if you are too old,  pain medication will be your treatment.  Why stop there?  Obamacare would be cheaper still if they administered it in the fashion of Russian Roulette. 
Another interesting note to this is Democrats are fixing healthcare behind closed doors.  They do not want the public to see what the true agenda is and how it will be implemented.  The quicker they push this through the better.  An ignorant public is easier to deal with than one who knows the facts.  Credit should be given to the Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans who are coming out and speaking up about the Democrats plan.   At the same time,  citizens should not sit idly by and hope that their representatives do what is best.  The pressure should be on Obama, Pelosi, and Reed to let them know that this is NOT what Americans want or need.  Write to them, email them, or call them.  Pester them until the message can be not be misunderstood.  NO GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE, PERIOD. 
The healthcare  problem has been brewing for a long time.  It can not be fixed over night and certainly won't be fixed just because the Democrats quickly pushed it through congress.  There should be open debate from both sides of the isle and the voice of the American people should be heard. If the President's presidential future is in jeopardy, that is his own undoing.  Since coming into office, he has continuously brought chaos to America.  His economic policy is failing.  His foreign policy is non-existent but he does show a tendency to support dictators.  His domestic agenda seems to be on destroying America from the inside out.  This is where the line in the sand should be drawn.  His agenda stops here.  It's time for him to listen to his boss:  The American People.
