Although Thanksgiving’s cherished by families as the day of the year for gathering together in a holiday spirit, many folks traveling from afar to attend, for some it’s simply an opportunity to push a failing political agenda which is seen by them as more important than traditional celebration.

 

Ben Domenech of the Federalist on-line presents an example this way, “We probably all know at least one: the person who comes to a family gathering primed to talk about politics.”

 

And then he goes on to note: “Thanks to the White House and Organizing for Action, there may be a marked increase in such guests this holiday season, thanks to this push to have you come to Thanksgiving dinner – and the other holidays too! – with your administration-approved talking points in hand.

 

The president wants to insist on inserting his priorities into family gatherings across the country. “I understand you worked hard to brine this bird, but let’s refocus on what matters: why you haven’t signed up at healthcare.gov yet. Did you hear it’s getting much better? Don’t talk about the Iron Bowl or Aunt Jenny’s wedding, let’s turn this conversation back to what really matters: avoiding a death spiral and ensuring stability in the insurance market!”

 

While reading Mr. Domenech’s recap illustrated clearly that nothing really matters much to the incumbent other than forcing his upside-down views on others, it became apparent that this holiday push for  his health care tax fits the situation perfectly.

 

The program itself was conceived by turkeys, designed for turkeys, aimed at paying the way for turkeys and is now in the throes of totally botched implementation by turkeys. And you couldn't find a better tie-in than Thanksgiving for Democrats, because turkeys are by far the dumbest species on earth.

 

In the meantime however, in addition to attempting to use holiday gatherings as a forum for pushing a floundering program, Fox News.com  reports that; “A self-proclaimed non-partisan organization has been given a $1.1 million grant to establish a database of ObamaCare “success stories,” as the Obama administration tries to rehab the law’s image amid the rocky rollout.”

 

So, on top of the hundreds of millions already spent on a program yet to work, having new delays arise practically daily, many more taxpayer’s dollars are being spent to seek out satisfied applicants. Which makes me wonder again, how much would be saved if the whole health care tax was scrapped and those without coverage were simply given a check in the case of illness.

 

That’s it for today folks.
