This is the message of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

This is the basic mindset behind the Progressive mind. You, the individual are incapable of overcoming the odds. You cannot succeed. This is the message sent to the black community for decades, and now, heavily reliant on the Government the Black Community is now empowered... and enslaved, to keep those that are "helping them" to stay in power.

That's the point of the debate over healthcare going on right now. Obama and Co. believe that you are TOO STUPID, and incapable of making intelligent choices, and unless you allow them to make these decisions for you... people will DIE. CHILDREN, they will die. And they couch this all in the populist stupidity of "evil rich"...

Again this furthers the ultimate goal of making all American's dependent on the Government. They believe that through the benevolence of the Federal Government, can people be freed from the harshness of life. "EQUALITY!" Yes, equally enslaved in dependence on Uncle Sam.

Instead of breaking the market locks, that keeps insurance locked in each state, and allowing competition and market forces to improve both the quality and costs of healthcare... they deem it in your best interest to just let the Government handle all those pesky choices for you. After all, you might fail, and then the children might suffer.

I don't believe that per say, the entire goal of an enslaved populace is the goal of the left, it's a necessary and in the end positive evil for them. They want to help you hapless rubes in your miserable lives. That they'll ensure you'll never throw off the yoke they are placing around your necks by voting them out is merely a plus for them. You cannot, and will not give up that "free stuff" they are offering. Why, you might get sick! You might die!!!

Freedom, Liberty... these things come with risks, yes, people will make the wrong choices from time to time. People will fail, suffering will occur. But so will success, so will happiness. This is unacceptable to so many on the left.

"We can't risk people making the wrong choice, we must make it for them!"

This is false, the first participle of the headline negates the rest of the premise. Sorry Mr. V. Just pointing out the innacuracy.

I forgot the s... I know, I saw that after hitting post.

I actually felt rather rere... I blame the dog for dropping a slobbery wet tennis ball on my foot and distracting me.

I was just saying that it's false to assume liberal progressives think.
 
Not even an opinion piece for back-up? Nobody stands for ceremony anymore.

It's my own opinion. I'm making a statement for debate. Thinking for myself. I know, I'm a conservative and the President says I am incapable of such, but alas, as usual, he is wrong.

Emotions aren't thinking, "righteous" indignation least of all.

Given that this is a debate forum, there is no need for emotional posturing. We really just need the point (in as few and precise sentences as possible) and the evidence. Blogs are for blogging.

I see.

You consider this "an emotional" thread then?

Among other things, given that you are capitalizing words, which signifies shouting/loudness/anger, yeah. Emphasis is done in bold or italics.

Pretty much. Actual quotes and evidence tell a different story than you have.

I do it for emphasis, nothing more.

In this case, I find it interesting that you are commenting on my style, rather then on what I am discussing, I.E. those of the liberal/progressive mindset tend towards believing that the average person is both incapable, and often too stupid to make the right choices in life, and for their own good, the left in power will make the right choices for them.

Or we could continue ignore all that for more discussion on how my posting style is not to your standards.

Knew that was coming.

What is there to discuss? You provided no proof of your accusations. I don't think Obama could have been more careful in his attitude toward the intelligence of his opponents. He has certainly been far more tactful than Reagan or either of the Bush's. I really don't see why, because nobody appreciates it anyway.

/boggle.

So bringing up a discussion without having footnotes is no longer discussion around here.

Whatever happened to just... discussing a persons opinion on the merit of what they are saying?

No. Although some evidence that I could challenge would be nice. Like, a series of statements by Obama indicating his attitude follows the pattern described.

Obama has spend 9 months blaming Bush for all his problems... how can you even claim he's respectful to his opponents?

Remember this?

Or how about his attacks on the Chamber of Congress and Foxnews?

Freedom and liberty are easier to enjoy when you don't have to worry about what will happen should any serious health concerns arise with either you or any of your loved ones. Just a thought.

I'm sorry I forget not everyone watches/reads news that gives the whole story, give me sometime to pull this up... I'm busy atm.
 
Just tossing the definition of "progressive" in here. This is the political term and what it means. Including it in the OP drastically alters the overall point of the post.

Progressive - A belief that personal freedom and solving social problems are more important than religion.

The opposite of 'progressive' is 'orthodox'

Orthodox - A belief that morality and religion ought to be of decisive importance [over personal freedom and social solving problems].
 
I'm waiting with great trepidation.

If you are going to take that attitude one wonders as the worth of putting for any effort.

Do you disagree that the black american has been trained to be Dependant on the government?

Do you disagree that UHC will make people MORE Dependant on the Government?

And last question before I take time out of what I am doing...

Do you believe that Obama trusts "the people"?

Progressive - One that believes in Government as the source of all rights.

I never once mentioned religion.

I was just pointing out that 'progressive' has a variety of meanings when it comes to politics and people need to take it in context. :)
