American Spectator: POLITICAL METASTASIS

Don't blame King Obama for its spread. The cancer precedes him — and he’s had enablers.

Sadly, someone I care deeply about was recently diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer — one that is difficult to survive. The problem with this cancer is that it is rarely found until it reaches what oncologists call Stage III or Stage IV, meaning that treatment options are limited and the prognosis is guarded at best — with even “guarded” representing sometimes unjustifiable optimism.

 

What was so shocking about the diagnosis is that there was no prior indication of illness, certainly none that a person would attribute to a serious ailment rather than to an insignificant virus or just getting a poor night’s sleep. As the unknowing victim moves through life thinking all is well, he is being killed from the inside out. The same is now happening to our national body politic.

Rather than Barack Obama’s particular actions — themselves just a painful symptom — the acceptance and encouragement of ends-justify-the-means defiance of both the Constitution and the will of the people (the former being much more important than the latter), the obliteration of boundaries on executive power based on a temper tantrum of populist impatience, the claim that if lawmakers don’t behave as the president wishes that he can then take on the role of legislator himself, these are the tyrannical rot at the core of current American politics and particularly within the enormous political tumor that is today’s Democratic Party.

 

Word. Scratch a Democrat, any Democrat and you get an authoritarian.
