Fwiw, when you suggest it's my "perception" you may be guilty of believing there is no such thing as reality or truth.

I see reality and truth as well as the next beleaguered patriot. My suggestion was that you and I are looking at the same developments, and seeing them from different perspectives (as people are wont to do). Doesn't make you wrong and me right. We're just looking from different angles.

Here's how things look from my perspective.

I scan down the thread titles on the main page and read a bit of each excerpt. Obamacare is without a doubt, the most talked about subject right now, so it's pretty easy to get a read on the overall tone of public discussion about it.

In doing so, what stands out, is that Zero and his party have put something into motion that is causing egregious harm to the American people. It's also clear that the drumbeat of angry denunciations is growing louder and louder. With the exception of a few, they're all being directed toward the correct source -- those responsible for enacting this abomination.

And those responsible are feeling the heat. Just look at all the ways they reacted in the last week.

Digging deeper into the seemingly endless series of articles on Obamacare, it's apparent that we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg with the current insurance cancellations. Group employee plans are the next round of cancellations. That's where the truly staggering numbers of fallout are going to come from.

When that occurs, all hell is going to break loose in this country. Joe Lunchbox is going to want to kill someone when his health insurance goes through the roof. Do you really think he's going to blame Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz for his predicament - or will he have sufficient intelligence to realize that it's not called 'Obamacare' because the Republicans passed it into law?

The point I've been trying to make here is that even mindlessly faithful Democrats have a breaking point. If you put them and their families in harm's way, or force them into poverty through the force of law, they're going to be as pissed as any of us are.

Now where are they going to direct that anger? Obama himself was the ACA's chief salesman for years. It's no secret that it's his baby, and Pelosi and Reid delivered it. You're going to tell me that Dem voters never heard him talk about how wonderful Obamacare would be? Do you really believe they're too stupid to see that the Democrats wrote the recipe, baked the pie, and shoved this thing down their throats?

All I'm trying to say is that there will be a backlash from the left, and it's going to cost a lot of elected Dems their jobs. I'm not optimistic enough to believe that these pissed off Dem voters will cross over to our side. What they will do, is replace a lot of politicians who voted for this evil, with people who promise to rip it out by the roots.

I saw a pretty funny cartoon today (old one). It sort of went like this:

First panel: One kid tells another, "Bambi and the left are going to help the muslims take over America"

Second panel: The other kid says, "True, but look on the bright side". First kid, "What bright side?"

Third panel: "When the muslims do take over, first thing they're gonna do is killl all the liberals........"
