Tuesday, March 30, 2010  Did the Dems Know What They Were Doing?
In light of the passage of the Democratic healthcare reform
package, many on the Right are sitting back smugly thinking
Pelosi and company naively delivered the House right into the
Republican's hands. While it may be true that the House will
possibly lose many of its Democratic members come November, I
doubt the Democratic leadership was oblivious to this before it
took the healthcare vote.  What we are dealing with here is a
movement that disregards public opinion no matter the
opposition. If they were merely taking principled stands,
defying what Alexis de Tocqueville called "the tyranny of the
majority," this would be something to admired. Unfortunately,
the passage of Obamacare has less to do with principle and more
to do with a tyrannical power grab by the federal government and
the Democratic leadership. If principle is involved at all, it
manifests itself only in the belief that the state is king and
liberty is a disposable commodity.
