It seems almost the entire media is doing everything they
can to ignore any of the now recurring news coming out about Jonathan Gruber
calling the American people stupid and declaring that they had to lie to the
American people to pass Obamacare. As one commentator mentioned the real reason
they had to lie to the American people is that they were afraid that to tell
the truth would have incurred a great uprising against this truly horrible
bill.
What still isn’t coming out is how much the bill seems to
have really been designed to ruin both healthcare as well as the American
economy. If it was not designed intentionally to harm the economy then it means
that the people who were really the boobs and dopes were the people creating
the program and foisting it on the rest of us.
Gruber would have had us believe that it was just a slip the
first time, and then maybe that he misspoke the second time, but after now
having at least 4 videos come out with him saying the same thing on 4 different
occasions it is clear it was not accidently or just careless speech. What he
said he meant to say or he would not have said it over and over. Essentially he
was trying to educate the groups he was speaking to on how to deceive those you
were trying force something on you knew they wouldn’t like. He recommended way
was to just lie to them. Sadly he and most all Democrats and probably
progressive Republicans are more than aware that once something like this gets
pushed through it is never really repealed. Once the Republicans found they had
won the senate they have completely stopped talking about repealing Obamacare,
instead what they are now talking about is ways to improve it or begin the
decades long process of “fine tuning” it. All they are willing to do is make
amendments to it with minor changes.
The media is doing the same thing with this that they do
with any story or news that doesn’t fit with the story they want to push. In
this case it is a huge black eye. If the media really wanted to increase their
readership and their listeners the Gruber story would certainly be the way to
do it. The problem is they just can’t bring themselves to report anything that
would even appear to support a major story reported with Fox. They’re more than
willing to report what each other reports but they will certainly not report
what Fox News does.
Really when you think about it not only does Gruber think
Americans are stupid so do all the Democrats as they lie about knowing him or
knowing what he was doing. They were all in on it and these are known facts.
I’m not saying the Republicans are any better. They continually use what they
prefer to call the language of politics to sell things to the American people
they also know are bad for us. They purposely use confusing terms such as
deficit and debt. The most recent case for Republicans is McConnell making the
statement that they won’t use the power of the purse and certainly won’t shut
down the government because we have to pay our debts. These 2 things are
completely unrelated. You can s hut down the government and still pay your
debts. This is like saying if you stop paying your employees you can pay
vendors, or your loans. Of if you stop paying your vendors for their service
that you can’t pay your employees or your bank loans. These things are not
necessarily dependent on each other. Granted in business if you have no
employees you will go out of business, but the government doesn’t have this
problem. The money comes in whether they provide services or not. They do not
work for their money they merely demand it from us and we must pay it.
Our politician understand that the American people have come
to accept and even expect that the representatives they choose are going to lie
to them and in this sense Americans are most certainly stupid. It seems
Americans can’t be bothered to elect moral and ethical representatives. Maybe
they don’t see the value of morality, but then this is also stupid.
At the same time Gruber’s remarks indicate that the lies
were necessary because even stupid Americans wouldn’t stand for what they were
doing if it became known clearly just what that was. Of course the media does
everything they can to not uncover these things. They support lying to and
deceiving the American people. A perfect example of the media’s complicit
deception is how they refuse to cover the story of Gruber. Hiding information
from people who need to know it is no different than giving them
misinformation.
It is clear the media are not interested in covering this
story even though it would probably revive their sagging sales. They don’t seem
to care as much about their sales as they do about their ideology. In many
respects this is much like Obama. He does not care what happens to his
presidency, or even the presidency in general. He doesn’t care about going down
in history as a great president. I believe he cares more about going down in
history as the man that completely changed America. He said he would do this
and so far he has done it. He has been more effective almost completely by
himself than any other individual or group in our history of utterly changing
our nation. One has to wonder if anyone will make any serious effort to
actually stop the utter destruction of our nation.
It is clear we have a limited time to deal with the
destruction of this president. He is all too well aware that major things such
as the things he’s doing don’t get undone easily if at all; they take on a
momentum of their own and once started there is little anyone can do about
them.
Our media understand that it is as equally as powerful not
reporting a story as to report a lie. In some respects it may be more powerful
because you cannot be caught in a lie when you just didn’t say anything. Lying
has become so common for those in political office that it doesn’t even seem to
be a story anymore. I wonder sometimes if the media doesn’t understand just how
big it could be for whatever news outlet decided to start reporting all the
lies and deceptions of our government and representatives.
Now they are all busy lying about even knowing Gruber even
though there are tons of tapes and video of them supporting him and extoling
him as the go to man for Obamacare. We are now up to 6 videos of Gruber saying
how they had to deceive the American people and as well as how the American
people are stupid.
Why is it that the media including Fox News focuses on
Gruber’s remarks about the American people being stupid rather than focusing on
the fact that they had to deceive the American people? Why do they consider an
insult worse than a moral or ethical issue? I for once consider lying and
deceit far worse than name calling.
