ARROGANCE!

January 20, 2010 By demolisher 23 Comments

Let us focus on one little manifestation of this arrogance:  

The idea that you are being punished, and were in 1994, and will be again in the fall, for NOT passing health care.  

(Logically speaking, this is even worse than Krugman claiming that the reason the stimulus failed was that it wasn’t big enough!)

When you finally realize how incredibly stupid this idea is, I hope you search out it originator and promise yourselves never to listen to him/her or anyone else who promoted it, ever again.  This idea – that voters are actually mad that you are NOT PASSING healthcare, is absurd.  Look at any poll.  Listen to what people are saying.  Look at the ridiculous bribes in the bill.  It is a monstrosity.  Kill it, or it will kill you all.

The arrogance comes in, once again, when you tell yourselves that “once we pass the bill, then people will realize that it is actually good”.  Can you even believe this line?  What if someone used it on you?  What would you think?  

Folks, once you pass the bill, you are doomed.  Kill it and save yourselves.  Or, let your arrogance be your destruction.

To conclude, lets see how BMGer’s rated the horrific comment that I let this post off with:

    The whole thing that their problem IS NOT that they aren’t running to the left enough, but I decided to just let them do it.  

    <

    p>It really is absurd to think that the remedy to politicians running to far to the center-right would be electing someone farther to the right.  It just shows the extreme, dangerous, and disconnected reasoning of the progressives.  

    <

    p>The arrogance works for them because they stop viewing you and me as citizens.  We’re just “teabaggers”.  We aren’t people, we are an untermensch.  We are not taxpayers, we are bigots.  We are not reasonable, we are obstructionists.  

    <

    p>As long as they abide by the language that allows them to view us as something less on the great chain of being than themselves, they will continue to have the progressive superiority complex, and they will continue wish they elected Democrats rather than progressives.

      I can make a far stronger case that you and JohnD view liberals, especially gays, as non-citizens. In fact, your candidate, now our senator, is a famous advocate for stripping gay people of rights.

      <

      p>Also, if we’re arrogant elitists, why did every pro-Brown e-mail blast and facebook plea included a call to “intelligent” or “smart” voters?

            JohnD today has accused the entire blog of having their head up their asses and asserted that I’m mentally ill. Seems like a direct violation.

                  Try reading what I wrote.  I said you can’t claim to be “PRO GAY” and gloat about the election of Scott Brown.  We can say “celebrate” if you like.

    Typically, BMGers might be able to dismiss such invective as “fringe”… but when the core lefty BMGers give 6’s, we see how low they are.

      It’s smack talk, nothing more, nothing less. Plus a call to stop fighting and unite behind Coakley.  He was absolutely right.

        We can say whatever we want because its just smack talk?  I wonder how much of everything you say is just BS smack talk, then?  How do you distinguish between things that you believe are true, and just smack talk?

        <

        p>Calling your opponents:

        <

        p>

        anti-American teabaggers, talk radio racists, Republican Right wackos, and every other bigoted fundamentalist freak that infects our sacred Democracy like an anal-rectal cancer

        <

        p>

        Palinite dead-enders and unrepentant Bush-holes

        <

        p>could certainly qualify as smack-talk.  (Never mind what would happen to any post calling you all names anything remotely like this)  But it could also qualify as arrogance, as dehumanizing your opponents, and as general cluelessness.  I dunno, maybe its all of the above.

        <

        p>I’m not whining, just trying to help.  Why?  Because the things your side does still impact the country.

            Remember, winners and/or losers really don’t care about us.  Take care of yourself first. I am not going hoopie in the other direction just because Brown won. It’s just another day and another week of doctor’s appointments as far as I am concerned.

.@MassGovernor’s calling the 10-town gas ban provision exclusionary zoning is misleading. #MAClimateBill will make #fossilfuel free buildings accessible to low- and moderate-income households. We need #ClimateResilientHousing. #mapoli

Massachusetts did the right thing long ago & divested in tobacco stocks. Can’t imagine @FindMassMoney wants their sponsored content on @BostonGlobe website next to that of Big Tobacco company Philip Morris. Shame on @BostonGlobe for profiting off the health of kids. #mapoli
