Although President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid and their elite socialistic foot soldiers cast it in pleasant, humanitarian terms as a means of providing healthcare to those who couldn\u2019t otherwise afford it, the majority of Americans recognized Obamacare for what it was: a transfer of wealth to Big Pharma, trial lawyers, unions and other special interests and a power grab over society\u2019s producers.<\/p>\n
Hence, the growth of the Tea Party movement across the United States.<\/p>\n
The Tea Party took root early in 2009 in response to the massive government spending policies and takeover of two-thirds of the American automobile industry and all of the financial industry by the redistributionists\u2014carrying both the Democrat and Republican labels\u2014seeking to turn America into Karl Marx\u2019s dream state. The Tea Party grew stronger and louder as Obama\u2014the Liar-in-Chief\u2014denied his socialistic tendencies and looked down on them with an arrogant disdain and dismissiveness.<\/p>\n
Tea Partiers found their voices as 2009 turned into 2010 and the power grab reached its zenith when Obama\u2019s dream came true and the House and Senate overrode the will of the majority of Americans and passed into law Obamacare on March 21. They turned out by the thousands in Washington, D.C., that day and the day before\u2014traveling there from all over the country on a couple of days notice\u2014to protest, and those who couldn\u2019t go flooded the Capitol switchboard with calls and the Capitol email servers with correspondence.<\/p>\n
The arrogant elitists who occupy Washington, D.C., laughed in the faces of the Tea Partiers once the passage of Obamacare was assured. Pelosi grabbed her gavel and, along with a group of her lackeys, marched boldly through the crowd of Tea Party protesters on the day the voting began, hoping above hope to incite some incident that would allow them to paint the protesters as radicals and racists.<\/p>\n
When no one took the bait the arrogant elitists made up an incident, with one congressman saying he was slurred by a racial epithet from Tea Partiers and another claiming he was spat upon. Despite those claims no arrests were made, no video or audio evidence of any slurs have turned up and the congressman who claims spittle flew his way was unable to make any kind of identification of a culprit. And Andrew Breitbart\u2019s $100,000 reward to the United Negro College Fund for evidence of a slur remains unclaimed.<\/p>\n
Capitol police escorting the group of elected elitists through the crowd of Tea Party peasants saw no evidence of anything untoward and sensed no danger for those they were charged with protecting.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because Tea Partiers aren\u2019t violent sociopaths as the Left and liberal media would have you believe. They are ordinary, everyday Main Street Americans\u201449 percent Republican and 51 percent either independent or Democrat; 70 percent conservative, but 22 percent moderate; 55 percent male; and 45 percent with annual income below $50,000, 55 percent above $50,000. In age, education, employment status and race the Tea Party supporters break down statistically almost exactly like the general population, according to Gallup polls.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re people who would rather be at home or at work than having to stand outside their capitol building holding signs and demonstrating. They are people who, three or four years ago, would not have dreamed they would have to stand up to a government that is spending away the future of their children and grandchildren and making an unconstitutional power grab.<\/p>\n
And make no mistake: That\u2019s what the elected elitists are doing. That group of Ivy League educated lawyers and political scientists that walk the halls of Congress\u2014and one who now resides in the White House and refuses to travel sans teleprompter\u2014has been attempting to pull a bait and switch on the American people, telling them Obamacare had nothing to do with socialism or redistribution of wealth or power over the people but only in helping the less fortunate.<\/p>\n
Some fell for it. But, despite Obama\u2019s eloquent teleprompter and long windedness, most haven\u2019t. Indeed, 52 percent still oppose Obamacare four weeks after its passage. But now that it has passed the elites are no longer hiding their true intent: socialist redistribution.<\/p>\n
In their own words:<\/p>\n
To their credit, Republicans in Congress opposed Obamacare. It seems the GOP plans to run on a platform of \u201cRepeal the Bill\u201d as we head into the midterm elections this fall. However, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), in typical Republican style of surrendering before the battle has been enjoined, has already lost his backbone and is saying repeal is not going to happen. The surrender came three weeks after he said Republicans would and should run on a platform of repeal.<\/p>\n
Senate candidate Mark Kirk of Illinois has also backed off his repeal the bill stance. Rep. Mike Castle, (R-Del.) is running for the state\u2019s open Senate seat and he is also avoiding a pledge to repeal. Expect other Republicans to follow.<\/p>\n
