The Big Whopper

The claim that Republicans shut down the government last fall over ObamaCare is an audacious, premeditated, contrived lie being shoved down American's throats by the Democratic Party controlled media propaganda machine.  Apparently this lie has been blindly accepted by most of the public.  In reality, Barack Obama and the Democrats were responsible for the shut down because they refused to even negotiate, let alone compromise, with Republicans on legislation that everyone should have known would have disastrous consequences for American citizens.

Obama unilaterally granted extensions to big business, exemptions to Congress, and instructions to ignore the law to insurance companies, but would not postpone a disaster that everyone but Obama himself and the Director of HHS saw coming.  Yet somehow Republicans are vilified for proposing to do something that clearly should have been done.  The American media is not just brain-washing the public, it is erasing all brain cells, turning the public into zombies.

Maybe it is time to stand back and give the Democrats the rope to hang themselves by letting them proceed with their destructive policies rather than allowing them to twist the facts and accuse Republicans of being obstructionists.  The American public needs to learn the hard way who is truly responsible for America's moribund economy, high unemployment, dysfunctional education system, deteriorating morals, and yes, the huge gap in income inequality.

In a perfect world all legislators who want to preserve American values and sustain freedom and prosperity would be obligated to fight to the death against the Democrats and their policies that hurt Americans rather than help them.  But that doesn't work when the majority of the voting public does not understand the consequences of those policies.  It is most likely a losing battle to fight both the lies of the Democrats and the reinforcement of those lies by the Democrat controlled media.  Obviously it is impossible to underestimate the intelligence of the American people or overestimate the power of the liberal media.
