In what has to be described as being one the screwiest rationales yet floated by the Democrats regarding the benefits of Obamacare, we once again have Nancy "We'll have to pass it to see what's in it" Pelosi saying at a Thursday Capitol Hill news conference, that Obamacare facilitates the type of “liberation” that the “Founders had in mind” because it allows you to quit your job and become a “photographer,” a “writer,” a “musician”--or “whatever.” She went on, as only she can do, saying, “As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation, this is what our founders had in mind--ever expanding opportunity for people." She attempted to further her idiotic argument, “You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever -- an artist, you want to be self-employed, if you want to start a business, you want to change jobs, you no longer are prohibited from doing that because you can’t have access to health care, especially because you do not want to put your family at risk,” she said. Is this not the most idiotic argument to use in an attempt to convince people, that this power grab by the Democrats is actually a good thing?
The House Democratic Leader appeared alongside two of her fellow Democrats, one of our favorite old gasbags, Steny Hoyer and that well known racist and bigot, James "The Tea Party is a bunch of racists" Clyburn to, what they described as, "celebrate" the health care law that was passed two years ago Friday. Pelosi brought with her some folks who were introduced as being her constituents, who told what were supposed to their own personal accounts of just how this great and wondrous law has benefited them by allowing children to stay on their parent’s health plan until the age of 26, and ending denial of coverage for preexisting conditions. “How many people in America do you think have a preexisting medical condition?" Pelosi asked. “That is, they may have been sick when they were little, or they had cancer and are now cancer free, and isn’t that a celebration? Adding, “But you always carry the preexisting condition and the discrimination with you -- until now,” she said. “And we cannot let that be rolled back, that affects tens of millions of Americans directly and their families as well, so our whole country.” What a complete crock of shit! The majority of Americans hate this thing!
This is all so eerily similar to what we heard in May of 2010 when Pelosi was also out front praising the bill in a very similar way, encouraging artists to pursue their passions and simply leave it to the government to provide for all of their health care needs. “We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” she said at the time. “A bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care. You won’t have to be job locked.” Job locked? What the Hell does that mean? Only a sleazy Democrat would use such a stupid argument as that, as a way to garner support for something that is based entirely on lies. Lies about the benefits it provides, such as reduced premiums and better coverage, lies about being able to keep your plan and your doctor, lies about how it will reduce the deficit, and lies about the overall cost of implementing this monstrosity. To name just a few. Yep, sounds like reason to celebrate to me, by golly. That the Democrats would choose to celebrate this horrific assault on our freedom is very telling. Because it makes very obvious, the very low opinion they have of the American people.
