Given the high five mania and celebratory gloating by liberals after the US House voted to install Marxist medicine on Saturday night, one would have thought that the United States had just officially lost the war in Afghanistan or that the Berlin Wall had been re-erected.
From death panels to waiting lists, liberal extremists and one RINO got their way while following Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the cliff into oblivion. The final tally was 220-215, not much of a margin of victory for a speaker obsessed with the notion that she has a mandate to install socialized medicine.
Please understand Nancy Pelosi. This crown jewel of liberal malfeasance actually believes that she is main stream Americana. From her perspective, voters are ravenous for CHANGE that will remake all of America into the image of San Francisco.
There is some good news from Pelosi’s Saturday Night Massacre: 39 members of her own party refused to abandon common sense and fiscal responsibility.
Those thinking patriots, representing 15 percent of the Democrat count in Pelosi’s House, prove that even Democrats can see the truth and act responsibly, every once in a while.
Notwithstanding the broad smiles and V signs all around Speaker Pelosi following the carnage on Saturday night, the brutal truth is that much of the Pelosi Manifesto will never become law.
There is another potent body of Congress called the United States Senate which must also approve health care reform. In her haste to promote herself as a heroine-nanny for the great unwashed masses, Madam Speaker seems to have overlooked the fact that the Senate will most likely obliterate or downgrade many of the more outrageous and costly provisions in the Pelosi Manifesto.
Mind you, Karl Marx himself would be proud of Speaker Pelosi and her anti-American minions after Saturday night.
Unlike Pelosi, however, Karl Marx would understand the reality involved, and, thus, would not be giddy.
