Obama Says He Stole Liberally From Gruber

This is admittedly not quite as damning as the video I put in the update to this post, but it’s one more drip-drip-drip of evidence that this many openly contemptuous of the American people was one of the key architects of Obamacare.  And while from a legal standpoint his comments are irrelevant to the King case coming up, it is increasingly becoming a political problem for the Democrats and this is only the latest example:

It is overwhelmingly clear by now that Jonathan Gruber has nothing but contempt for the American people.  But what is really deadly here, is that it is increasingly clear that many the Democrats (especially those in power) share this contempt.  They are hoping for a combination of popular stupidity and media bias to cover up this story for them.  They aren’t crazy to do so.  Consider the fact that FDR was able to keep his disability secret from the American people when he was president.  Of course, his disability is ideally an irrelevancy for this job—it’s not like Roosevelt was required to lift heavy objects as a bfoq (bona fide occupational qualification) for the Presidency—but the reality is it might have made a difference.  But instead, the media kept information from the voters that might have influenced the outcome of elections.

But, they haven't caught up to the fact that in today's media, the truth will not be suppressed.  Not forever.

So every time they lie to you, every time they say, “Gruber who?  Oh, he had nothing to do with Obamacare” when a little research tells you that they full well know who he is, and yes he had everything to do with Obamacare, what they are telling you is this: we agree with Gruber.  We think you are too stupid to make decisions for yourself.  We think you are too stupid to Google and discover how strongly he was connected with this law.  We believe we have to trick you into doing what we want you to, and you will just have to hope that what we trick you into will be in your best interest.

And of course shunting aside the principles of democracy in the hopes that we will get government that is better for us (because we apparently are too stupid to know what is good for us) has been tried before...

…and it was not exactly a Great Leap Forward, although they did their best to portray it as such.

My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted terrorist (and adjudicated pedophile) Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years.  I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video evidence.  If you would like to help in the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the donation link on the right.  And thank you.

Follow me at Twitter @aaronworthing, mostly for snark and site updates.  And you can purchase my book (or borrow it for free if you have Amazon Prime), Archangel: A Novel of Alternate, Recent History here.  And you can read a little more about my novel, here.

Disclaimer:

I have accused some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct.  In some cases, the conduct is even criminal.  In all cases, the only justice I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system.  I do not want to see vigilante violence against any person or any threat of such violence.  This kind of conduct is not only morally wrong, but it is counter-productive.

In the particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him.  Do not call him.  Do not write him a letter.  Do not write him an email.  Do not text-message him.  Do not engage in any kind of directed communication.  I say this in part because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.

And for that matter, don’t go on his property.  Don’t sneak around and try to photograph him.  Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision.  Your behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).

And do not contact his organizations, either.  And most of all, leave his family alone.

The only exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might report.  And even then if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request.  That this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you refuse.

And let me say something else.  In my heart of hearts, I don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above.  But if any of you have, stop it, and if you haven’t don’t start.
