Breaking News: Dissent is unhealthy!
I hope that the American public sees through this:
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday suggested the “Tea Party” movement is an “unhealthy” reaction to the tough economic climate facing the country.
Axelrod was asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” about the “spreading and very public disaffection” with the president’s fiscal policies seen at the “Tea Party” rallies around the country last week.
“I think any time you have severe economic conditions there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that’s unhealthy,” Axelrod said.
Axelrod appeared to backtrack when pressed on whether the movement is unhealthy.
Just for clarification: under Bush, dissent was patriotic and the “in” thing to do. Under President Obama, dissent is “unhealthy.” Hey, American public, are you getting as sick of this double-standard as I am? Or, like sheep to the slaughter are you just blindly following the Messiah? I pray that it is the former and not the latter.
