President Obama pitched himself as someone who was going to bring the nation together. Granted, partisan politics did enter the discussion, but one would expect the president to be above denigrating those to whom he refers to as “ordinary people”…
According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
Mr. President, as long as an violent overthrow isn’t promoted, being anti-government isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Ask the founders. And again, more arrogance: seeing through the tactics is seen by him as confusion.
What he seems to have a problem with is disagreement. You know, the same disagreement he had with the previous administration on issues that were a two or three on the scale of how they would affect the nation. Mr. Obama’s issues are between a seven and nine on that same scale and the free-speech left insist the gags they knew where meant for them, be used on We The Extremists.
“Extremists.” Look who’s talking.
