Create an Impasse

If Obama is blocked on health care, and I emphasize if, the rest of his attack on our nation's First Principles may be thwarted. I will not pretend that I am sanguine that the care rationing scheme actually will be blocked, as I do not think many Democrats including the so-called "Blue Dogs" will stand steadfast against a President of their own party-particularly one who remains personally popular even if his support comes from idiots or the gullible, those who place race consciousness over the enduring interests of the country, and those easily manipulated by the mainstream media. In fact, I think it is much more likely that RINOs, particularly the odious Maine Senate delegation and those other Senate Republicans feverishly now seeking some compromise with their Democrat colleagues, will ultimately vote for the single-payer universal care regime to show to their constituents back home that they went to D.C. to do the business of the nation rather than sit as obstructionists in a stalled body that they would contend if legislation is not being passed, has fallen into nothing but a debating society. On most every issue of consequence going all the way back to the "gang of fourteen" in the Bush years, enough Republicans have stood against conservatism to bring catastrophe to the country, but if a bottleneck is created on public option health care, the President may also be checked on cap and trade and card check until Republicans seize back the US House of Representatives in 2010. When that happens, checkmate, we have seized the queen-no not Michelle, but defense of liberty. Alas there are too many cowards in Congress and I fear that blocking the neo-Marxist is a pipe dream. In the end, in spite of the hue and cry against socialism from the heartland, I think the nation will lose and Obama will win.
