Well, yea.
Long a shill for Democrats, Dionne continues to advance party talking points that attempt to dismiss and demonize the movement. The headline conveys the tone deafness and detachment from middle America that President Obama and his enabling left-wing members of Congress have acquired.
So what effect does Dionne’s quip-like headline have on folks who are Tea Partiers or identify with the movement’s values?
Answer: None.
Voters that Dionne is attempting to marginalize and humiliate see statism as the agenda that’s currently being advanced by the Democrat Party. See the simple and easy to read list that follows:
The government owning General Motors: statist.
Strong arming GM’s creditors: statist.
Cap and Trade (tax): statist.
Government take over of health care: statist.
Attempts to control the banking system: statist.
Using the EPA to unilaterally impose carbon regulations: statists.
Pay Czars: Really statist.
Czars in general: so statist it’s crazy.
Attempts to pre-determine the census by using ACORN as census takers: you have to be kidding me statist.
Dionne is not clear whether or not he considers statsim to be bad or whether he believes Tea Partiers meerly call Obamaism statist. Perhaps he feels that by dropping the radicalist bomb best serves his party’s spin. Whatever Dionne’s intent, its unmasks the Democrats problem.
Onward we go with the same Democrat agenda that’s served to embolden the GOP and that’s launched a movement that’s galvanized independent voters. It’s likley will get stronger if Dionne and his party continue their current path.
