Democrat bigwigs and their media shills have concocted a libelous narrative of the town hall phenomenon that has shaken up the party’s health care plans. They meet the classic definition of Chutzpah, as explained by Leo Rosten in the Joy of Yiddish:
Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible “guts”; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, and no other language, can do justice to. A Chutzpanik may be defined as the man who shouts, “Help! Help!” while beating you up.
A fair sample of the Democrats’ narrative is provided by Bill Press’ article “The Tea Baggers Are Back — Crazy as Ever. ” One can only conclude that this amounts to a collective act of audacity so flamboyant and disgraceful, that even liberals are taking notice. And this is driving the press and our leadership batty. Like the man above, Press cries “Help, help, they’re protesting!” while he and those around him protest and have been for decades. His article is an expertly crafted verbal sleight of hand reminiscent of the fascist hooligans to which he likens today’s tea party protesters. In his opening salvo he declares:
Ah, democracy! It never works better than when informed citizens gather in town hall meetings to discuss and debate the issues of the day.
But, oh, democracy! It’s never more damaged than when partisan zealots plot to disrupt town hall meetings in order to prevent any honest debate of the issues.

Company has arrived. I’ll be occupied for the remainder of the day.
Liberals hate their proletariat.
The boomers, elderly, and disabled have much to lose in this reorganization of Health Care in the States. Americans like their medical care - when polled, approximately 68% prefer their personal medical coverage. Most vulnerable to pressure will be the elderly and disabled. There will be rationing and value placed on your life and contribution to society. Doctors already counsel patients and families on treatment and right to life issues. It won’t be medical personnel on these panels, it will be cost cutting bureacrats with an eye to the bottom line. Has anyone notice that all these hospital and medical administrators have raised the price of health care, not reduced costs.
Exactly when was a bureacrats concerned with cost, it is not their money. They just protect their jobs.
This is a scary road trip, just press the start icon in the middle of the map . It is easy to see what people are getting worried about.
