Disclaimer: I am biased against waste, inefficiency, ineffectiveness, corruption, and stupidity. Hence my earlier post today. Now that is out of the way....
President Obama is a cunning ideologue. He uses law and words to twist the ideals of most Americans into ideas that sound good... at first... to many. But one must ask the question: can he fool enough of the people all of the time?
The Climate Bill represents ideology above science; it represents coercion above clarity; it demands sacrifice for dubious ends; it is being questioned more and more by those who wanted previously to place party loyalty above all else, but realize it may be the suicide of the Democratic Party... a truly Pyrrhic victory. Combine that with so-called health care reform that threatens to recreate this [below] on a larger scale and you have the seeds of a political backlash.
President Obama may yet win these battles only to lose the war in 2012. By then, however, significant damage will have been done to our economy and private enterprise. Some will say that is intentional. I will be more generous and say it is only stupidity. The stupidity of an intelligent man who has allowed rhetoric to blind his reason. It only remains to be seen how widespread that stupidity has spread. If he succeeds, will the Democratic Party revel under a "Mission Accomplished" banner or simply mutter, confused, under their breaths, "What have we done?"
