Is the Tea Party Movement experiencing post-partum psychosis?

Posted by Dr. Larry Hunter on October 07, 2009, 09:41 AM

Has the grass-roots Tea Party Movement run out of steam? Many Washington insiders seem to think so. The buzz around the nation’s capital is that opponents of ObamaCare pretty much shot their wad on September 12 when two million of them travelled from every corner of America to show up on the National Mall in protest of out-of-control government, of which ObamaCare is indicative.

Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) expressed this fear yesterday to The Hill newspaper:
“Crapo said that he credited the August recess protests with having created enough of an impression among his colleagues for them to have voted down public option amendments in the Senate Finance Committee, but he worried the protests haven't had enough of an impact as the debate moves forward.

‘I'm concerned that that impact is not as deep as they thought it would be,’ he said.”

Some Senators go further according to conversations with several Hill staffers. Many Democrats and Republicans looking to vote in favor of some version of ObamaCare Lite we call it RHINOCare, are telling themselves they have weathered the storm and can go back to business as usual, cutting deals in the back room to expand Washington’s reach into the lives of individuals and feather the nests of their friends and cronies who feast like parasites on American taxpayers.

Unfortunately, evidence that this attitude may be warranted is everywhere to be seen by anyone monitoring the email traffic among grass-roots organizers. Soon after 9/12, one prominent Tea Party organization had a very public nervous breakdown on the Internet as they fought over ownership of intellectual property and purged their board of directors. Astro-turf groups out of Washington, DC are using the residual glow of 9/12 to raise gobs of money over the Internet but there is no evidence of real, follow-up grass-roots actions to put a stake through the heart of ObamaCare.

Much of the discussion among activists has wandered off into rancorous bickering over the wisdom of convening an Article V constitutional convention while the primary focus of the overall movement seems to be obsessing over Barrack Obama the man rather than the disastrous policies he is trying to jam down America’s throat, especially a government takeover of healthcare. Many email scribes in the various Google Groups of the movement seem more interested in re-running the 2008 presidential election than defeating the policies the winner of that election wants to impose on the country. Some of the rhetoric is absolutely demented not only delegitimizing the Liberty Movement before it finds its legs but actually scaring the hell out of many conservatives and libertarians who want nothing to do with the kind of personal invective and hate being spewed all over the Internet.

Even more troublesome than the tangible evidence of lethargy and disarray among the grass roots is the resounding silence of the dog that isn’t barking: The demonstrations at Senators’ Capitol Hill offices that are not occurring; the Senate telephone system that has not become overloaded; the mailbags of cards and letters opposing ObamaCare that are not arriving in the Senate mail room; the fax machines that sit idle in Senate offices; the gazebos in town squares across America that are not occupied by gatherings of citizens opposed to a government takeover of healthcare; the YouTube videos not being posted of boisterous gatherings outside local Senators’ offices demanding to meet with Senators when they are home on weekends; the demands for town hall meetings that are not being made by local citizens.

The Tea-Party Movement gave birth to a baby Liberty Movement September 12, which with care and nurturing could grow up to be a formidable force for freedom and prosperity. But since then the Liberty Movement’s parent has gone into a deep post-partum depression that in some cases verges on post-partum psychosis.

If Mama Movement doesn’t get her head straight and her act together soon, she will end up killing her offspring in a fit of self-obsessed abuse and neglect. Or, perhaps worse, the organized Republican Party, agent of the state, and their various Astro-Turf organizations will kidnap the infant movement from its neglectful and abusive parent and give it a foster home in the DC Establishment where it will be showered with money and attention, indoctrinated into practical politics and taught to mind its manners and vote for the lesser of two evils for the rest of its life.

AFTER ACTION VIDEO Socialist Woman:"Propaganda" is knowing what's in H.R 3200

A conversation I had with a woman at the Counter-Protest of MoveOn.org love fest "vigil" of ObamaCare at the state Capitol in Lansing, Sept. 3

She thinks its "cute" I have read sections of the Bill,H.R. 3200
I don't thinks its "cute" that she hasn't yet supports it



This is what Sec. 284-288 DOES state:

This is what the bill says, pages 284-288, SEC. 1151. REDUCING POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL READMISSIONS:

‘(ii) EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN READMISSIONS.—For purposes of clause (i), with respect to a hospital, excess readmissions shall not include readmissions for an applicable condition for which there are fewer than a minimum number (as determined by the Secretary) of discharges for such applicable condition for the applicable period and such hospital.

and, under “Definitions”:

‘‘(A) APPLICABLE CONDITION.—The term ‘applicable condition’ means, subject to subparagraph (B), a condition or procedure selected by the Secretary . . .

and:

‘‘(E) READMISSION.—The term ‘readmission’ means, in the case of an individual who is discharged from an applicable hospital, the admission of the individual to the same or another applicable hospital within a time period specified by the Secretary from the date of such discharge.

and:

‘‘(6) LIMITATIONS ON REVIEW.—There shall be no administrative or judicial review under section 1869, section 1878, or otherwise of— . . .

‘‘(C) the measures of readmissions . . .

EVALUATION OF THE PASSAGES:

1. This section amends the Social Security Act

2. The government has the power to determine what constitutes an “applicable [medical] condition.”

3. The government has the power to determine who is allowed readmission into a hospital.

4. This determination will be made by statistics: when enough people have been discharged for the same condition, an individual may be readmitted.

5. This is government rationing, pure, simple, and straight up.

6. There can be no judicial review of decisions made here. The Secretary is above the courts.

7. The plan also allows the government to prohibit hospitals from expanding without federal permission: page 317-318.

Shattered Lives: One Hundred Victims of Government Health Care

The National Center for Public Policy Research

"...Shattered Lives will educate you, the American public, to the horror of government-managed health care where it exists today.

In this book are documented stories from Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Japan, Australia and elsewhere - countries in which citizens literally die waiting for health services. Among other horrifying takes, you will cringe over tales of expectant mothers unable to find an available hospital bed, elderly patients denied routine cataract surgery and people in agony who resorted to do-it-yourself dentistry.

Shattered Lives

These tragic stories warn us that turning more of our health care decisions over to the government is sure to bring us nothing but pain."
-Mark R. Levin, Host, The Mark Levin Show
Author, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto

"Anyone who believes that nationalized health care equals quality health care needs to read these real-life horror stories of people denied care or forced to wait months for urgently-needed medical treatment because they live in countries with nationalized health care."
-- Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX)

"On a good day the practice of medicine is demanding and difficult. A bad day can range from frustrating to terrifying. An active clinical practice deals with cases that run the spectrum of complex to impossible-yet all the while physicians and nurses put forth their best efforts as is appropriate to their ability. To take this already demanding lifestyle and further complicate it by insensitive government control and regime insults the integrity of every provider-and places the patient in even greater peril. This is a powerful book, and one that should be regarded and read by every elected official who believes he or she has the gift to change medical practice to suit the whim of the government."
-- Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX)

"Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans are satisfied with the quality of the health care they receive. "Shattered Lives" provides strong evidence that the more we turn over health care decisions to the government, the less satisfied we will be."
-- Paul Mirengoff
Power Line Blog

"While in most parts of the world private health care is an option, government in my native Canada holds a death grip. Government there legally forbids millions of people in most parts of Canada from buying private health care. Some of them choose to get their health care outside Canada. Shattered Lives tells the stories of several of these health care refugees and warns why a centralized, government-managed approach is how not to fix health care in America-or anywhere else."
-- David R. Henderson
Research Fellow, Hoover Institution

"Shattered Lives shows the ugly realities of statist medicine its acolytes don't want you to know. I applaud The National Center for warning the American people that a government takeover, whether slow or accelerated, is not the answer for improving our health care system."
-- Tom Blumer
BizzyBlog, NewsBusters.org

"Shattered Lives provides a sharp reminder that government mismanagement of health care has high human costs not only in a developing country like South Africa, but in rich countries too. This is because it's not just about money, but incentives and choice."
-- Jack Bloom, MPL
Health Spokesman, Democratic Alliance Party
Gauteng Provincial Legislature, South Africa
