The New York Times is very worried. The “impartial” flagship of the mainstream media is concerned by the impending doom awaiting Democrats and the effect their political demise will have on the progress of Obama's socialist hope and change. “Put most broadly,” said Sunday's Times editorial, “the Democrats have been failing to delineate the differences between themselves and Republicans, to remind voters what Republicans would do if returned to power and how little their policies have changed from those during the two terms of President George W Bush.” Wow! That's quite an admission, and something the Tea Party has been saying for nearly two years.
As upsetting as it is for most Republicans-first-conservatives-second to hear, Obama took “compassionate conservatism” to its logical conclusion, and in a big way. This election in many ways is a contest between those who believe government is the god-like instrument of compassion (Pelosi Democrats and George W Bush Republicans) and the much-hated Tea Party, which believes that a government that “gives” must “take.” And that today's dangerous level of taking requires the kind of unbridled power that violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
Under the heading “A few suggestions,” the Times advises Democrats to use “the revenue from reinstating taxes on the rich to put people back to work, rebuilding and repairing the country. Providing robust support for state and local governments, many of which have cut past the bone. Repairing the unemployment system so that it is a real safety net and not a political tool.”
The left - and its mouthpiece the New York Times - are too dense to realize all above arguments are an admission of government failures. The New Deal, The Great Society and Republican compassionate conservative programs have already redistributed much of the nation's wealth. Obama has doubled the national debt in less than two years and the jobless rate, even by the administration's own admission, will rise above its current 9.5%.
Now the Times argues that Democrats need to break from the past by pushing ahead with Obama's transformation of a free America into an authoritarian socialist state, securing its power base by restructuring the unemployment benefits system as a political tool to create a new permanent dependent class to secure the Democratic Party's power base - ala Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
And Democrats, the Obama media and Beltway Republicans say the Tea Party is extremist for demanding that government be “bound by the chains of the Constitution.” The Tea Party's very existance is an indictment of our failed two-party system, and why the Tea Party works tirelessly to convince sleepy Republican rank-and-file voters how important it is to the future of a free America that the GOP be purged this primary season of the incumbent Beltway Republicans who paved the way for Obama's hope and change. They can't be trusted to repeal any part of Obama's agenda if they are part of a new Republican majority in Congress.
Tea Party! Tea Party! Tea Party!
