Evil-Mongers, AstroTurf and Mobs, Oh My

Harry Reid calls us evil-mongers. Nancy Pelosi calls us astro-turf, and the White house calls us a mob.

I guess they are hearing it. They are so frightened that name calling continues to be ratcheted to higher levels.

What would they say if I called Harry Reid an witch hunter (one who seeks to demonize anyone who opposes them)? What if I called Nacy Pelosi an Astro-Smurf (someone who is fake and ultra-liberal)? What if I called the White House mob bosses (wait, I already do that)? I had to define each of those for the small mindedness of these leaders.

George W. Bush called the despots of this world evil. As William McGurn so handily points out, Ronald Reagan called the Soviet empire evil.

But when have we ever seen a politician call Americans evil?

First, let's look at the definition of this term (sorry, today is definition day). A monger in this since is person promoting something undesirable or discreditable.

Since evil is used as an adjective, let's explore that word according to dictionary.com:
1. morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked: evil deeds; an evil life.
2. harmful; injurious: evil laws.
3. characterized or accompanied by misfortune or suffering; unfortunate; disastrous: to be fallen on evil days.
4. due to actual or imputed bad conduct or character: an evil reputation.
5. marked by anger, irritability, irascibility, etc.: He is known for his evil disposition.

So, if you put it together, an evil monger is a liberal democrat, no, no: is a person who with malice and discontent seeks to bring harm to those weaker than themselves in hopes to promote their undesirable goods or services.

A monger was originally a peddler of goods. So as an evil monger, a person who disagrees with the leaders of the democratic party is selling a load of junk. Isn't that why Americans are mad?

Aren't we angry because of the load junk being forced on us by our current leaders? Socialism, the global warming farce, the wasted stimulus, and more are all pouring out of the mouths of those who say they are taking a higher moral ground.

Now, the president is going to spin his ideas again but this time he plans on playing on the emotions of people. The White House has turned to psychological warfare in order to win at all costs. And if that doesn't work, the democrats are threatening (along with the White House) to throw a tantrum by forcing us to swallow the goods they are peddling.

The real mongers are those who are trying to force this bad legislation through without the support of the citizens of this great country. The definition of evil says it is marked by anger and irritability. The response of the citizens isn't a mark of anger because we are not the ones trying to peddle junk. The reaction of the leaders, however, to how negatively people are responding to their peddling turns the table on Mr. Reid. Spin it anyway you want but you are still left with a bad piece of legislation.
