So the headline on Drudge read “DEMS FEAR VIOLENT BACKLASH”.  Really?  They weren’t fearing the backlash when they thought it would be contained to the ballot box…  Why, because they’ve stolen enough elections in the last 100 years that they have insulated themselves fairly well.  They have career cronies now running nearly every federal department.  Even when the voters wise up for a couple of years and vote them out of power the opposition never gets very far because the socialists run the government not the people…

But now things are changing, the people (or at least a vocal group of them) are standing up to the socialists in power and going with what may truly be the last patriotic stand in America.  From here forward the path will be set, we’ll either be on an ever faster path to full blown communism culminating in very violent revolution somewhere down the road.  Or we’ll listen to few patriots and begin to take back our government.

Liberals, Socialists, Communists, Democrats, only fear one thing and that is losing power.  Losing power is no longer defined as who controls congress or the white house.  They’ve seen that happen and have succeeded in losing that only temporarily.  Their true power is in the courts that they control, the education system that they control, the media they control, the various government agencies that they control.  These people secure socialism everyday.

The extreme far left leadership in congress and at the white house have only fear now.  They believed that they were doing what the people wanted in spite of the fact that every poll was against them.  Now they’ve rammed something down the throats of the people and they expect the people to just take it like they have for 80 years and just accept one more incremental step towards complete government control.  The people seem to be standing up this time, only time will tell if they have the strength to stand up to the rest of this agenda.

In 1993 Bill Clinton ran on the economy and succeeded in beating George HW Bush on that issue in spite of the fact that Bush had in fact led the country out of the recession by the election.  Clinton felt he was invincible so he let his wife take on the issue of healthcare.  The thing that Clinton underestimated was that the economy was already rebounding and people were positive on the economic situation.  As such people didn’t see healthcare as that big a problem that required a government takeover and as such it went down to defeat.

So we move forward to the last eight years where we have had a drumbeat of Democrats, in congress and the media, telling people just how bad everything was.  This in spite of the fact that for much of the George W Bush years the economy has been booming.  The media succeeded in talking the economy into recession in late 2008 along with a democrat controlled congress that created the mortgage mess.

We now have the perfect storm for Democrats.  They have created circumstances where we have unemployment near 10%, we have healthcare costs through the roof mostly because trial lawyers have driven the cost of malpractice insurance through the roof.  We have government takeovers of the auto industry, and the banking industry.  We haven’t seen misery like this since the days of Jimmy Carter.

So now there is a narrow window of opportunity for Obama and Democrats to pass socialized medicine.  i call it a narrow window because the have to be careful, they have to orchestrate this takeover and spin it so it appears that they are helping everyone.  If people perceive this for what it is, another power grab by liberals and Obama then they could see a backlash.  People are already weary of the takeovers they’ve seen in the automotive and banking sectors.

The Democrats running congress are talking of big tax increases, the global warming bill isn’t widely supported by voters but congress is beholden to the environuts that elected them.  The more they force this stuff down the throats of the American people the greater the consequences in 2010 and 2012.

So in the end it appears that Democrats have created the circumstances under which socialized medicine may be possible.  Maybe they learned from 1994 but will the country be better off from the lessons learned?  I doubt it.
