Typical Democrat: Don’t Bother Me With the Details

I’ve recently exchanged emails with a good friend and Obama healthcare reform supporter from the city of Chicago, let’s call him Keith. Keith is a die hard liberal who is quite typical of the area. No matter the argument, no matter the situation, the Democrats always right and the Republicans are always wrong.

I wrote an article on healthcare reform last week explaining how crazy it was for President Obama to think he could do a better job of managing healthcare in this country than our current free market system. Basically saying that only a community organizer could view the $2.4 trillion U.S. healthcare system as ripe pickings for government takeover, and not the free market engine of health and prosperity that it truly is.

Keith read the piece and emailed me his feedback.

His thoughts were a fascinating example of exactly, spot on what you would expect from a liberal. Passionate, but lacking in detail. Caring for others, but not so caring for the economy.

However, even with his Democrat background, I figured at the very least Keith had to have heard one or two things about Obama’s healthcare reform that concerned him, it sure seems like everyone else has.

I figured wrong.

Keith’s reasoning was strait out of MSNBC. The first point in his email, cannily on cue, was a jab at Republicans: “The right has very little constructive to say about this subject. They simply know that they are going to shout down reasonable and important legislation offering nothing in the way of good ideas themselves.â€

Great read Airborne and I couldnt agree with you more. A little background about myself. I am a 28 yr old black man that is working and paying my way through college.

I just began to learn about politics during the primary. I must be honest, I have never casted a vote to this day. Why? Because there is an enigma with blacks that we must be democrats. Its almost taboo to be a republican and I always wondered why?

I couldnt find myself voting for a representative of a party that I knew nothing about. Sort of like pin the tail on the donkey.

I see the media bias and I have noticed that liberals do not like dealing with the facts. Which I understand because it exposes them.

I never talk politics with my mother and I know she is a democrat. As I look back and wonder why when she worked 2 jobs, 6 days a week to support me. We didnt live in any low income housing, no free healthcare, or welfare . I would have to assume she went with the norm and followed suit with other black Americans.

I have yet to choose a party but I do not like playing on an unlevel field and the Dems are playing that way. The conservatives need to push more on educating the youth about politics and the difference between the left and right.

Now the Republicans are trying to reach out to the latin community and turning a blind eye to illegal immigration. Selling themselves short to get back into office. Dems are calling everyone at the town hall meetings extremist. Why? Because they have the majority of the minority vote and we all know racism is a very sensitive issue.

I will be sending letters to both parties, senators, mayors, governors, congress, and of course the white house. I am in this fight forever and hopefully I can reach a lot of misinformed Americans.

Thanks again for a great read.
