Country Infected with Virus Democratus
Townhall.com ^ | April 26, 2013 | John Ransom

Let’s just call it what it is: The country has a big, nasty case of V.D.

That’s Virus Democratus for all you Weiner for Mayor fans.

Come to think of it Weiner would be a big improvement on the current “weiner” “Occupying” the mayoral position in New York City.

Anywho, as I was saying: The country has a virus similar to the malaise that was going around when Carter was president. Our enemies are treated like friends and our friends are treated like enemies; Gas prices are high, wages are low, and the misery index is on the rise, even if calculated differently today than when Carter was the Worst-President-Ever.

This is what happens when you put hippies in charge.  Again.

“Free” “love” and “peace” often ends in this type of communicable disease.

Quick: What percentage of people in the Obama administration do you think go to church each week? What percentage of people in the Obama administration smoke weed each week?

Now subtract the one number from the other.  

Any questions?

The lurch to the left that has been institutionalized by our newest Worst-President-Ever – an ideological lurch where appearances don’t matter anymore- is scaring even Democrats.

“And while the president made the big calls, like pushing for a health-care overhaul, he did not always drive the administration's strategy on getting his agenda achieved. That has now, fully, changed,“ reports BuzzFeed.

Hurray! Obama’s now in charge of EVERYTHING.

“‘You're talking about somebody who has a tremendous amount of confidence in his own capacities,’” said a top Democrat. “‘On most days it's hard to tell him he's wrong about anything.’”

Really? You guys are just figuring this out now?

Ha!

It’s not hard to tell the Democratus apparatus that they deserve exactly what they’ve got coming- while laughing uproariously.

After a decade of letting Obama work on scholarship because of white guilt, demographics and a weak bench of unelectable doofuses- John Edwards, Howard Dean, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton anyone?- now that political results matter to the Democratus Party, some are getting a little shy about the president.  

And can you blame them? These are folks who won’t get the same free pass that Obama gets.  

Imagine when the entire Democrat party is remade in Obama’s image.

Confident.

Capable.

Arrogant.

Irresponsible.

Wrong.

Politico laid out the dilemma facing Democrats even before Obama was sworn in for his second term.

“To the extent that they break with the president, it could be — I don’t want to say it is — a big advantage for them in deep-red states,” a Democrat strategist told Politico in January regarding Democrat Senators up for reelection.

Politico cited particularly the gun issue, where Democrats from more moderate states could be at risk by an aggressively left-wing Obama agenda.

From Politico:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), who could face a tough reelection and has previously opposed reinstating the assault weapons ban, said there needs to be “more emphasis on [mental health issues and counseling families in crisis] as well as enforcing some of the laws that are already on the books.” She added it was important for Washington “not to overreact one way or another.”

[Senator Mark] Begich [D-AK] added: “To start saying we’re going to have more laws and more regulations, I think, would be problematic.”

Udall voiced similar sentiments, though he suggested more of an openness to tightening background checks.

“When you talk about gun rights and the situation in the West, there are very mixed feelings in terms of pushing a nationwide package — a one-size-fits-all package,” [Senator Tom] Udall [D-NM] said, questioning the effectiveness of an assault weapons ban.

From their mouths to Obama’s very large ears, somehow, something in the manner of this warning was lost in translation.

Because Obama’s defeat on the gun issue was both large and stunning.

Or, as Politico pointed out, maybe it was what we could have expected.

Any other president would have been defeated in November based on results. Any other president would have been chastened by the results, not emboldened.

Instead, Obama is acting more like himself, more in charge and exactly in character:

Confident.

Capable.

Arrogant.

Irresponsible.

Wrong.

These are all symptoms of a very bad disease for  the Democrats.

And because it’s communicable, the country is at risk as well.

“Virus Democratus” is a disease that’s embraced by just about fifty per-cent of the population.

They love it, they wash in it, they revel in it and never tire of its ability to castrate just about anything that tries to move to the sunlight. They are the mushrooms of the Democrat party, fed b.s. and happy to stay in the dark.

There is an illegal invasion of foreign socialists who hate America. no it’s not just Muslims but Mexicans that are socialists and hate America. and these traitors want to give them Amnesty

this Amnesty bill is horrendous.

1. it gives illegals amnesty
2. allows the new Amnestied citizens to bring in their families back home from Mexico and other hell holes(100 million new 3rd world immigrants
3. it creates a new visa
4. it is over 800 pages and growing ( have the American people read it no because the media is hiding what they are doing )
5. creates new gov bureaucracies

they want to finish off America. this all started with the 1965 kennedy immigration bill (after that 80% of the legal immigrants came from the 3rd world . no country allows this level of immigration from the world’s sewers. democrats destroyed the greatest society by importing maggots. these legal immigrants provided a home base for illegals, communities etc. repeal the 1965 immigration bill

They are fully intending to kill the golden goose. As the percentage of those working and paying income tax continues to shrink and the percentage of takers continues to grow, the demands on the producers will increase. The definition of “wealthy” will be dumbed down to the point where anyone making over $50,000 per year will be considered fair game for further wealth confiscation. At some point the government’s only recourse will be to dip into people’s retirement and other savings accounts, as we’ve seen happen in Cyprus.

Right on! An immigrant told me, “There are about 5 billion more people where I came from that want to come here.” Common sense requires we chose the best applicants to be a benefit to our best national interest and not just create a stampede of future Rats to please the liberals.

“They are fully intending to kill the golden goose.”

Are they doing it knowingly, with an objective in mind, or are they doing it recklessly, seeking “social justice”, with no regard for the consequences?

Just asking.

I actually think it’s infected with virus ignoramus, which invariably leads to cult of personality disorders.

most of the dems I speak to have no concept of what their party stands for, low information voter doesn’t even come close. It has nothing to do with education levels either, my mother and all her book club friends would probably be republicans.. except they truly believe that hard work and lowering middle class taxes is what Obama is preaching.

They simply hate republicans based on personality, and buy the media spin on just about everything... The minute I start to bring up facts or ask them issue and policy based questions... they feign little or no interest in politics.
I’ve basically given up.

Well, same thing as far as I am concerned. Low information voters, or as I call them (see my tagline) ignorant, are 99.99 percent democRats. So there you have it.

Shouldn’t this be “Virus Democrapus”? I just feel like I keep getting crapped on by the ill informed masses who keep electing Democrats.

I think it’s a mix. There are some at the top who naively believe that their ideas will work in spite of all the evidence against them. But the Alinsky followers, like Obama, are intentionally trying to destroy America’s foundations and rebuild what they view as a socialist utopia. They are attacking the pillars of America: fair elections, the family, the Church, morality, capitalism, the military and the borders.
