On the Weather

A couple of days ago, I asked rhetorically how "these people" got to be in charge. Today my question is "How's that 'global warming' working out for you all in the four feet of snow back east?" Amazing. Wonder if they will complain about all the carbon emissions produced to dig them out and keep them warm. (Except they did save some where the power was out.)
My other question is not rhetorical. I am completely serious. How do we get rid of these people and how fast can we do it?
November can't get here soon enough.
On politics.
I read a good article by Michael Medved this morning at www.townhall.com "Obama's Undeniable Intelligence Makes Him More Dangerous - and More Vulnerable" in which he cautioned conservatives not to underestimate or dismiss the intelligence of president Obama. He argued that the man is clearly very intelligent, and I happen to agree. I also agree that that makes him dangerous.
I have been pondering Obama's recent statements that he is open to Republican idea on fixing health care, and here is why I see his intelligence as dangerous. He can use words to mean things that if taken at innocent face value seem to say one thing, but when run through the Obama-speak decoder, mean something else entirely.
Just one example, then listen carefully to what he is saying next time he talks (you won't have to wait more than ten minutes or so,) and try to decode for yourself what he really means.
When he says that he wants to see all the best ideas of the Republicans and when he says he is willing to listen to anyone who has good solutions, what he really means is that he will listen, yes, of course. The problem is his definition of the best idea or a good solution will be entirely different from the Republicans because the starting premise of each party is completely opposite. The Republican ideas and solutions are based on the premise of individuality, free markets, and liberty. The presidents ideology is based on government, government, and government which adds up to community, government, and tyranny.
Therefore, the Republican free market solutions will never be good solutions to the Marxist president who believes that free markets are the problem in the first place.
The best idea to cover the uninsured by letting people buy into Medicare early or by expanding the already existing Medicaid program to cover more people will never be a best idea because those solutions would not expand the role of government or include illegal aliens or untie insurance from employment, all of which are presidential goals, but not Republican goals.
Bipartisianship is not one side giving in completely to the other sides position, as the president suggested the Republicans wanted to have happen. But it is not what the president wants either which is for the Republicans to give up the principles they believe in in favor of the presidents principles just because his side won the election.
We are Republicans and conservatives because we have rejected the notion that community trumps the individual, that governments work better than free markets, and the tyranny is better than liberty.
Now that you have a clue about how to decode the language of bipartisanship and working together for the American people, try it on your own and see if you too can catch a glimpse of the real President Obama. It will, no doubt, leave you asking "how do we get rid of these people and how fast can we do it?...if you weren't already asking.
