[Reprinted from 2010 post - still applicable]
It is surprising how few people understand the trickery and deceit
practiced by one political party. People would do well to pay attention
to the tale of Pindarovia, which I wrote and posted several years ago.
The
people of the kingdom of Pindarovia were strong and independent. So
much so that the tryannical king needed to find a way to weaken them
enough so he could keep them under his complete control. He knew the
best way to do that would be to first weaken them, then make them
dependent upon him for their very lives.
The king went
to his wizard to find a way to accomplish the task. The wizard gave the
king a potion that, when ingested, would weaken even the strongest of
men.
The king, being a wiley man, knew his people would
not willingly drink of the foul potion. So he had his cooks make a
recipe to make the potion appealing. They added sugar, blueberries and
served it up with ice cream on the side.
When one wise
man stood and tried to warn the people that this would be bad for them,
the king merely said, "Why would you want to keep the people from having
blueberries? Why would you want to deprive them of ice cream? How can
you be so cruel and wrong-headed?"
And the people,
wanting the ice cream and blueberries, were fooled into taking the
potion. And they were weakened, and became dependent upon the king for
their survival.
Now, you might think this is only a
cute little story. But it is much more than that. This sort of thing
goes on all the time. Remember all those people who drank the poison
believing it to be Kool-Aid at Jonestown?
And then the
"Affordable health care" bill. The liberals added a few good things,
like covering children with pre-existing conditions, and used those
things to "sweeten" the poison that is in the bill. And when a
conservative steps up and says this is a bad bill, the liberals say,
"Why would you be against covering kids with pre-existing conditions?
What kind of monster are you?"
The truth is,
conservatives are not against the blueberries or the ice cream. They are
against the poison that is being delivered with it.
And
when liberals try to accuse conservatives of not caring about the
people, they are blatantly lying. They know that is not true, but they
use that to con the people into thinking that conservatives are bad.
So
here is the difference - liberals give you blueberries and ice cream to
get you to eat the poison. Conservatives want you to have the
blueberries and ice cream, but without the poison. Democrat politicians
ALWAYS insert a "poison pill" into every piece of legislation they
propose, because that makes it impossible for them to lose - if the
legislation passes, their poison becomes law (like the taxes &
penalties in ObamaCare), and if the legislation fails, they get to beat
up the Republicans for denying the people the "blueberries and ice
cream". I repeat - EVERY piece of Democrat legislation includes a poison pill.
Whenever
you hear Democrats claim that Republicans are mean, cruel, hate women,
hate children, want dirty water and air etc., it is because they
inserted poison into an otherwise beneficial bill, and the Republicans
shot down the bill because of the poison pill. Think about that the next
time you hear Democrats make such claims, and take the time to look for
the "poison pill" in their bill.
And the sooner people stop being fooled by the wiley king and begin listening to the truth, the better off we will all be.
