Looking back at Obamacare: three and a half years ago — 6 Comments

  1. Just makes me wonder (yet again) just how much or what it will take for sufficiently many people to “get it”.

    Are we getting there? Are we even close yet?

  2. “By any means necessary.” That’s the bottomline for the Libs. So Obama had to lie – so what. It’s for our own good (and I believe they think that everyone will thank them for it at the end of the day). They are playing chess while we’re playing checkers?

  3. ” . . . the current bill is seen as taking from the many to benefit (theoretically, at least) the few . . . .”

    No surprise here. We live in world where a single individual with a single objection thwarts the will of a 99% majority.

    The founding fathers were particularly worried about the “tyranny of the majority.” They failed, however, to forsee the tyranny of the lone voice; perhaps their single most serious failing.

  4. M J R,

    my estimate in 2006-8 was that it would take 100 WACOs before Americans wake up more or less in the majority.

    There’s been like one or two, if you add all the incidents together, but we’re not near 50 yet.

  5. They failed, however, to forsee the tyranny of the lone voice; perhaps their single most serious failing.

    The tyranny of the majority Is the 1% ruling over the 99%.

    That’s what they figured out and why they instituted Senates, Republican based system, and Plato concepts.

    Whenever you have a group of 51% deciding things, inside that group another 51% decides what the 51% decides. So essentially 26% is deciding what will happen to the 74%. Then within the 26%, there’s another 14% that decides for that group what happens. So on and so forth, until you get to a group of 3 percenters, and 2% of them makes for a majority decision.
