ith his health care holy war, President Obama is sending America at least 10 messages since taking office: 1. I win; you lose. 2. My will; not the will of the people. 3. Government of Obama, by Obama, for Obama; not government of the people, by the people, for the people. 4. Corrupt House rules and autocracy; not play by the rules and democracy. 5. “I’ll tread on you” now steps on “Don’t tread on me.” 6. “I, the president”; not “We, the People.” 7. “All men are created equal” but I am more equal than others. 8. “The dissent of the president” overrules “the consent of the governed.” 9. “Give me tyranny and give me debt” replaces “Give me liberty or give me death.” 10. “That government is best which governs most” supersedes “That government is best which governs least.” Communications consultant Jon Kraushar is at http://www.jonkraushar.net. |
