I guess it only takes (some) folks exercising their Constitutional rights to get sycophants like Froma Harrop “froaming” at the mouth. And I always find it interesting when Liberals label all free speech but their own as “extremist”. Admittedly I rather like it this way, as it’s much easier to see these phonies coming. They simply have little regard for the very founding principles which facilitate their ideological argument. Throw in the “Tea Party” and they will eventually show there teeth.
With that said, Harrop’s recent editorial in the Providence Journal brushes right past the economically crippling reality of “ObamaScare”, and how it came to be the focus of the current government shut down. However there may be a silver lining for Harrop’s nemesis the (Tea Party folks), many of whom have spoken out against this nightmare from day one. You see unlike Social Security and Medicare, the votes to approve The “Affordable” Care Act were cast wholly along party lines and without a single opposition party vote in the affirmative. Historically speaking, this means all credit (or failure) will rest squarely on the party of passage. Moreover, I would remind Harrop that the only thing Chief Justice Roberts did was confirm the mandate was a tax after the POTUS lied and said it wasn’t, though I think she understands this and only hopes for collective ignorance on the part of we freedom loving peasants.
In the end, what an elitist like Harrop needs is a lesson in the co-equal branches of government and their responsibilities to “We the People”. I’m sorry Froma, but your desire that “Tea Party Tyrants” suck it up and sit idly by while their Republic crumbles under the weight of this president’s utopian experiment, is simply unacceptable and un-American. Have a nice day… 🙂
