ObamaScare and the Spreading of Infectious Ideology

 

Ripe for the season of Zombies we have the roll-out for the ObamaScare Dancing Medicine Show, or what I call the OBSDMS.

The first thing to do is to take a pulse on the program. I believe a good doctor asks the right questions. So what do we hear?

Echoing across the land we hear medically incorrect questions. Questions like, ‘What did we know?’ and ‘When did we know it?’ Sound familiar? These questions, and more like them, are now being asked because the OBSDMS roll-out has become a fold-up. The patient is flat-lining. How could this happen? Who did it? Thus the Capitol Hill hearings go on in search for the truth.

We have been told that, once again, our president was misinformed. You see, the buck can’t stop at the Oval Office if it never gets there. In the end, that’s probably a good thing since the buck is worth a whole lot less than it was back in the days of Harry Truman. Web Sites For Dummies is now all the rage. And to be honest, I really could use a copy of that book myself. P.S. Okay, Snowden, you can come back now.

Since we have a Dancing Medicine show in the OBSDMS we must ask, what is the dance of choice? Well, tap-dancing, of course. Our current performer is none other than Kathleen Sebelius. Will she make the final final of Dancing with the Stars? Maybe, but employment in the future may be difficult for her. The good news though, if she loses her job, she will be able to get health insurance…if she can get through on the website.

Sebelius joins a notable list of other tappers who have become the fall-guy, I mean fall-gal, for failed presidential leadership. Consider the following:

Nancy Pelosi – OBSDMS: “So, that’s why I was saying we have to pass a bill so we can see so that we can show you what it is and what it isn’t.” These few chilling words may say more about the extreme infirmity of our democratic republic than anything else.

Susan Rice – Benghazi: “This is a response to a hateful and offensive video that was widely disseminated throughout the Arab and Muslim world…” Two weeks after the attack she was clinging to this story. By that time, even my Blue Heeler dog knew the ‘film that nobody ever saw’ story was BALONEY.

Hillary Clinton – Benghazi: “What difference at this point does it make?!” Perhaps we should ask the families of four dead American soldiers what difference it makes. Meanwhile, justice weeps tears of blood.

Lois Lerner – IRS: “One of the basic functions of the 5th Amendment is to protect innocent individuals. And that is the protection I'm invoking today.” Translation: ‘I will hide behind what is left of the very document we have been shredding.’

Kathleen Sebelius – OBSDMS: “Yes, he is.” Her response when asked if the president was keeping his promise.

Tap-dancing, or just give me “Taps”?

I know that the rules of engagement in the 21^st century include women on the front lines. Clearly, not only is the president leading from behind, but he is hiding behind these women. But what is even more troubling is that they are covering the destroyer, so he can continue to destroy. In other words, they are promulgating a culture that would please the leader, and further the cause. You do remember the cause don’t you – “Change is coming to America.” You have to admit, that campaign promise has been kept.

World history has not been immune to this infection. We saw this behavior of promoting and anticipating the thought processes of an ideologue permeate Nazi Germany. For example, in John Toland’s classic book, The Last 100 Days, p. 74, Toland shares private letters between Hitler’s private secretary, Martin Bormann, and his wife, Gerda. It is near the end for Nazi Germany, yet they both hold out a false hope for Hitler’s Nationalist Socialist agenda. In one of those letters from Gerda to Martin, she writes, “…the Fuhrer has given our idea of the Reich, which has spread-and is secretly still spreading-throughout the world. The unbelievable sacrifices our people are making-sacrifices they are capable of making only because they are imbued and possessed with that idea-are proof of its strength and show to all the world how just and necessary our struggle is.

One day the Reich of our dreams will emerge. Shall we, I wonder, or our children, live to see it?...”

Back when president Clinton was ensnared in his Impeachment hearings, I was asked what I thought about the whole mess. My response should not surprise. Like so many other people, I was greatly saddened by events which led to the Impeachment trial. But I was concerned about a greater threat. I said that while we watch the circus, because that is exactly what that trial was, while we watch, our enemies are gathering against us. Recent history has shown us that is exactly what Al Qaeda was doing.

Well, folks, step right up. The circus is back in town. And we are distracted. Gerda's dream has become our nightmare. Our enemies, external and internal, are gathering. Women with a bully-pulpit are fodder for an idea that is imploding all around them. The rest of us, well,... we have become a nation of Zombies.

Mambo anyone?
