Bumper sticker.

The following is part of a longer piece published by Doug O’Brien over  at biggovernment.com (the site on which all those delicious ACORN videos originated) that unfortunately is too long for a bumper sticker, but which nonetheless captures the spirit driving a majority of Americans in opposition to Obamacare these days:

Every day, the administration’s promotional campaign becomes more politicized, more strident, more arrogant, and less aimed at a discussion of the real concerns arising from the desire to hastily revamp one-sixth of the nation’s economy. Tell us in real terms how this will be paid for, not with vague estimates of possible “savings.” Tell us exactly how you will prevent rationing and unwarranted delays in care. Tell us how you will guarantee the survival of private insurance, not just pat us on the heads like children and promise that you won’t directly force anyone out of their current plan.

Obama and his flacks in the media of course won’t tell us those things because they can’t. Reform will be paid for with new taxes. Rationing won’t be prevented. It will be encouraged. Private insurance won’t survive. It’s obsolescence in fact, is the point.

But what kind of sales pitch is that?

So they lie. Peddle half truths. Counter legitimate questions with charges of racism. Because nobody ever chooses Socialism willingly. To gain the authority of law it must rely on the same coercive strategies which Obama is implementing right now.

Lies. Half truths. Manipulation.
