Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

“Stupid American voter”….wow…there ya have it folks.
Do ya think any LIV’s will notice they are regarded as stupid by the Dems..?..Naw…
Shiny Pony admires this type of governance. After all lying for the greater good is how socialist governments rule. The only problem with this type of government is the interpretation of what constitutes the “greater good”. How can a government continue to function for the benefit of the people if it ignores the people.
“It is a Kingdom of Conscience, or it is nothing.” Balian, Defender of Jerusalem.
I would rather not have that law…
There a liberal’s core beliefs on display. They believe it so completely they have no hesitation to say it out loud and are shocked that anyone would have a problem with it.
1. I’m smarter than you.
2. You are not able to manage your own affairs.
3. You should allow me to govern you without question.
4. You should be thankful.
He doesn’t say why he would rather have this law than not … The only way this sort of thing can appear to work is with the single payer … Then they will enter a countdown to becoming an even worse system than we have in Canada where people wait and wait and wait and frequently die waiting .. For care …
Directly from the horse’s (donkey’s) mouth – there you have Lib-Prog ethics/morality in a nutshell – a totally compromised for some political goal/agenda. It is a partisan cult of amorality which places winning above ethics/morals/law and places agenda above democratic/constitutional constraint. – In short, these are sociopathic parasites who lie, cheat and steal as easily as drawing breath, for end results which usually ar a monumental failure – and if you invest any democratic currency in them hoping for a better nation, you will soon realize (if you have a pulse and any alpha wave activity) that their politics and ideologies offer no solution – because corruption and lawlessness will always decay a failing state.
“Lack of transparency”? Whatever happened to “lie your a$$ off, incessantly, proudly, and for a living”?
Note there is no shame in the man. He’s proud to be a professional liar.
What a condescending elitist jackass. I would happily be a member of the firing squad for him and everyone of his conspirators.
I think after the revolution the first constitutional amendment added should be “All bills before Congress may be no more than five pages, double spaced, font size 10 or greater.”
Here in Vermont, the chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee. The very driver behind the push for single payer in this state, and and eight term incumbent, was defeated for re-election.
The Governor, the other principal proponent of single-payer, drew less votes than the Republican and Libertarians, but did manage a plurality by 2,000 votes.
Lets not forget, that in “getting it to pass” he is speaking more of congress and the senate. They are the ones that passed this law. They may have had more complaints from the public, had the public known the truth. How many of the people that passed the law actually even read it?
Sign me up for the firing squad! Although I think a slow lynching might be in order.
Arrogant SOB!
Tree + horse + rope = “social justice”.
Nice un-natural, twisted claw, hand motions to illustrate; very believable.
Stupidity of the elite.
Wasn’t it Pelosi who said something like ”You can read the Bill after you pass it”?
The duplicity of these elitist-I-know-what’s-good-for-you is beyond belief. Certainly the bunch of them should be prosecuted.
They, and all leftists make me puke.
Pelosi famously said, “We have to pass Obamacare to see what’s in it.”
When up on stage, what was it VP Biden whispered in Obama’s ear? Cannot remember the actual quote but maybe Biden was thinking of the deceiving part not the health care part. The media is soooo complicit in the dumbing-down of the people. The media will sell it’s sole in order to be part of the ruling class.
If you think the people won’t be in favour of Obamacare, no problem; lie, to them, then use weasel phrases like “lack of transparency” to misrepresent your advocacy to the voters. How comforting.
I wasn’t thinking of going medieval ( hang, draw and quarter or sawing) on these……individuals but “Tree + horse + rope” seems too tame…it’s supposed to be painful….I favour a length of rope and a pickup truck….
Put their names in a hat and do one a day…televised….imagine the ratings.
What an arrogant, self-opinionated, self-righteous little shit. He thinks having the law is better than not, so he thinks that voters, Senators and Representatives should be lied to* in order to pass an act he thinks is right.
He gives himself the authority to do that. No-one gave him that authority. He was not elected. There is no part of the Constitution that allows an appointee to lie to get his personal will made into law.
Disgusting.
* He is talking about lying about the effects of the Act when he says the weasel words “lack of transparency”, and not using the words “lying” is simply lack of transparency towards the audience for the speech – yes, lying to them too, the people he expected to agree with him.
He can do this because low information voters ARE stupid and he is in a position where he is not (yet) under a bus.
Well of course, the most transparent government AFTER they have LIED to you…
The respect for the intelligence of the voter is duly noted. Mr. Gruber is of the opinion that the voter is not intelligent enough to vote for the ‘politically correct’ outcome; and thus needs to be duped.
In short, my philosophy is correct; but you can’t trust the ‘rubes’ so just lie to them, because cat herding is too difficult.
Intellectual hubris and arrogance, as someone else’s ox needs to be gored.

Politics is like War with the winner’s spoils being the agenda being thrust upon the citizens at gun point. The taqiyya being employed is applied in various degrees by both “wings” of the so-called political spectrum. What this political spin doctor described is just another example of the ends justifying the means. It’s evil but it’s also politics in an increasingly irrational and immoral world.
Classic Alinsky. In the end, he’d “rather have this law than not” and that end justified all means, including outright deception.
…arrogant, self-opinionated, self-righteous little shit…
the classic definition of a Leftist PISSANTE.
In this case sign me up as well. Is this a BYOG affair..??
If so i will make it a 30mm gatling thank you.
Unreal…and yes, this is what is definitely in store for our country should shiny pony get elected…you only have to listen to him to know it to be true.
..Dictatorial Arrogance.
The “people” didn’t pass this law, maybe indirectly by voting for their elected members, but their elected members did. Then, when challenged, their unelected appointed black robed supremes, namely one deciding judge, reworked the the law to suit the progressive need. Presto. Anyone who followed this saga should not be surprised by how is was going to go down or by this video insight.
If MIT, who employs him, has any integrity, they will dismiss him immediately. Every piece of ” research ” he has ever conducted, or supervised, is now compromised. So how about it, MIT? Or have you, too, dropped any pretense of searching for truth?
Princeton dumped Krugman; is MIT up to their standard?
Look, if the U.S. government was able to successfully pass the 16th Amendment, then it can pass anything, including the ACA, and get away with it, laughing all the way to the bank, I mean, Federal Reserve.
Just you wait.
Like maggots “progressives” hide under a rock what they do, thinking they are smarter than us, when really if you think about it, the very act of concealment shows they don’t trust anyone.That even they have to hide thier own policies from scrutiny being so bad.Its raw power not success they seek.
Lying by Marxists to the public about their policies and to lull other politicians is rule Number 1. Lenin’s acolytes taught them well.
“I favour a length of rope and a pickup truck….”
Chain+NASCAR.
He talks like Pee Wee Herman, I’d lay bets that he has a similar predatory relationship with children as well.
Of course thats just another nontransparent grey area for the Liberal left.
Yet the bill was not crafted and passed while the DemocRats had free reign to do so.
Was it meant to be used as a battering ram against the GOP, who could be expected
to block it prior to an upcoming election campaign season?
Someone should again ask Spineless Bonehead &Co what happened.
Point taken, but…
Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens) got caught in an adult movie theatre fapping himself.(No kids)
Jonathan Gruber hurts kids, adults and seniors for generations.
That slime is a full blown progressive.
Liberalism is a progressive disease, only ruthless surgery and isolation of the infected can save civil society.
of course this member of team Obamanation demonstrates their version of ethics, integrity and “honesty”.
I wonder how many citizens consider a paid, oath sworn civil servant who acts as this creature, as a traitor?
For is this not treason?
Lying to the citizens to cause them to act against their own, and hence the nations, best interests?
