Who Weeps For Narcissus?

Senator Harry Reid, and the Democrat controlled Senate ,have decided to pass the so-called,"Nuclear Option ", which would prevent the Republican Senate  Minority to filibuster on any future Democrat Presidential nominations , Judicial nominations, or anything else , for that matter. Filibuster has been a House and Senate tradition ,going back to the very founding of our Nation and its laws. But. more than that, it's been a strong symbol of what we are as a Nation ;...not a Democracy where the majority rules, absolute, but a Republic where the individual counts more than the collective . That is the very essence of a system of self  government , and the filibuster , although not in the Constitution, is a strong symbol of it. The reason Reid and the Democrats are enacting this illegal law is obvious . Fear Their government healthcare push, in the form of Obamacare, has now been exposed as , not only a tax fraud,but as unworkable, mechanically.The numbers simply do not add up. It is an illogical law , that depends on Americans being mindless robots that sign up en masse, and private insurance companies and Doctors embracing it, despite the fact that the law will hurt them financially. That won't work in America.Americans were born into freedom , for money generations now . Like a wild animal in the jungle, Americans can be caged, their freedom taken temporarily, but, ultimately, they can't be domesticated.Eventually, when the handler leaves the cage door open a crack,  Americans will either attack, or make a run for freedom. England and France have always been socialist. Like cats and dogs they were bred for many generations , to be domesticated That's why they continue to tolerate , and even embrace, their financially broke socialist systems. Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid and the Democrat Party , are now beginning to perceive that everything they have dreamed of , since the days of FDR
and the ,"New Deal", has now been proven unworkable;..a mere economic lab experiment by a group of sheltered academics who have never functioned in the real world , the real free market economy , and therefore have no idea how it truly functions, nor do they really care. They only care about their way, their methods, being implemented , for the purpose of securing power for the left.. They have always had nothing but contempt for American free market principles that they perceive as unfair. Their way is the only way , ..the fair way. Their way is socialism . Their way is Marxism. Their way is communism . And, their way works , at least, for them. Those in the elite, those who make the rules . Those who view themselves as superior , and therefore born to rule over the inferior masses . That is the essence of the Democrat Party mentality , and the key to achieving what they want has always been a single payer healthcare system. The website was designed to fail, and designed to destroy private insurance ,by  increasing  premium rates and taxes and add fines to the mix , for those who don't comply. Ultimately , it was designed to strand people in no man's land , leave them uninsured and in crises , create total economic chaos, and therefore force the government to enact the single payer system , which , by the left's own admission, is the ultimate goal anyway. Now, the Democrat Party has begun to perceive that dream will never be realized. The American people will apparently not be domesticated and are seeking , ..not only to escape the cage , but also to attack the trainer who has kept them caged.
It's all over . The 2014 Midterms will belong to the Republican Party . And, they will rule , perhaps ad-infinitum , because of this debacle. Not only will the Democrat Party now lose their power, but it may be the end of liberalism itself, at least as an organized movement in our Nation. What then, is to be the final legacy for Obama and the Democrats?The President, when he was inaugerated, embraced Lincoln, as part of his legacy. But, as time passed, one could see this was done more as a publicity stunt, with no real substance to it. After all, Lincoln was a tax cutting , strong  military, Republican that took us to war with the Democrat controlled States, that supported slavery. In fact, not one Democrat politician , in Washington, supported the end of slavery. And, except for the freed slaves aspect of the Lincoln Legacy, Obama really has no reason to admire , the rail splitter from Illinois. That's why he had no interest in attending the Gettyburg Address ceremony . He is, in fact, the first President to pull a no-show at this event. He simply doesn't care about a ceremony for this assassinated Republican . His only concern, right now, is for the  crumbling facade  of his own image. Which is why he did attend the ceremony at the Eternal Flame, in Arlington, that commemorated the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy,...the shining star of the Democrat Party. At least, that's the spin. The reality is that Kennedy was a tax cutting , strong military and National defense, commie hating Conservative , that created a booming economy , with tax cuts for all Americans. Some of Kennedy's speeches may have hinted at liberalism, but, the reality of his actual policies , and what he actually accomplished, speak volumes for what he really was. The Liberal spin of the JFK legacy carries over to his assassination as well. Lee Harvey Oswald killed the President, according to all credible evidence . Yet, the left blames a fictional  right wing ,Texas based conspiracy. Why? Because Oswald was a Marxist. Oswald was a communist. Oswald was a Castro supporter, who eventually fled America to become a citizen of the Soviet Union. He also tried to become a citizen of Cuba. In other words, Oswald was a liberal leftist , with a big hate on for America,...just like the Democrat Party. Oswald, therefore , could not be the shooter. Kennedy must belong to the liberal left's legacy,  for no other reasons  than his charisma and Democrat pedigree. Therefore ,history had to be re-written , and they have , indeed tried. Now, Obama clings to that re-write ;..as all else slips away .But , it is to no avail. Kennedy belongs to the Conservatives. Reality has proven this. Clinton , the other left icon, also belongs to the right, on a technicality. Clinton's sucess as President, was simply due to the fact that the Republicans controlled both the Houise and Senate, for the bulk of his Presidency, and Republican policies gave Clinton a booming economy.
The question then remains;...What then , shall be the final legacy of the Democrat Party?Obama, and Obamacare, will have to suffice,..unfortunately. In the end, their final legacy must be one of ever increasing taxes , mounting debt , and deficit, a weakened military, and ultimately, the Affordable Care Act, ...Obamacare,..the supposed key to a socialist utopia that has has now been exposed as mere illusion.Yes, the Left must settle for this. While, Obama, at this point , seeks nothing more than to preserve his image, ...his popularity, with the American people. That's why he has chosen to campaign again,..for Obamacare. It's all he can do ,..simply sell himself again to the citizens he has willingly duped. Meanwhile , his own sinking Party , screams at him to save them, and their careers.
There is a Greek Legend that tells the story of the wood nymph , Echo, ..who fell in love with a mortal, named Narcissus who , one day ,  upon seeing his image in a reflecting pool, fell in love with himself, leaving Echo heartbroken and weeping. Obama , like Narcissus , can only continue to gaze at the reflection of his fading political image, while the panicking  Democrat Party,...like Wood Nymph Echo, ...can only weep,...for their lost,...unrequited ,....love.
