The casual dismissiveness with which our overlords regard us

NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's remark on ABC-TV's This Week yesterday that "we all knew" that the MEC was lying about people being able to keep doctors and policies if they liked them lays bare the contempt in which we are held by the tyrants who have fundamentally transformed America.

She said it without a trace of outrage.  It's a small side issue to her.  She followed up that remark with a full-steam-ahead prediction that FHer-care will work fine after "this implementation issue" is dealt with.

It's all there in the short space of what she said on that program: the have-to-break-eggs-to-make-omelets mentality, the paternalistic assurance that what the leviathan has lined up for you is far superior to what you thought you were pleased with, the tacit acknowledgement that her ilk has moved us into a post-Constitutional era in which the self-proclaimed morally superior nomenklatura can make up rules as they go.

The whole overlord class was in on it from the get-go.  They don't have the first subatomic particle of respect for you.   The purpose of you, the unwashed masses, the cattle-like populace, is to maximize their power.

  1. I could not have scripted a more obvious play into the hand of your ilk. All we can do now is try to enjoy the inevitable butt chewings. I personally have little, nay no faith that this FUBARRed Act and even more FUBARRed roll-out can be rectified. I give up. I am only 1 year 2 months away from single payer for my aging self and will continue to fight for this for all though I am not sure what faith we had in government can be restored within my lifetime. Perhaps that is a good thing.
