I just saw the insufferable David Axelrod on MSNBC spewing
the old canard, “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” We heard this horse crap repeatedly during
the health care debate while the insurance companies were invited to the table
first, the Public Option went the way of Vaudeville and the loony Right was
allowed to carry the message with words like Socialism, Communism and death
panels.
Axelrod is really saying, “Sit down and shut up your betters
have things under control.” Well they don’t
and they never have. This time he is
talking about sensible gun regulation.
He is telling us not to get too attached to the assault weapons ban or
the ban on large ammunition clips. We
have to be willing to settle for what we can get, because in the eyes of our
“leaders” if it is a choice between what they want and what we want there is no
choice. Whether it is re-election or a
legacy they come first and the people who help them buy their next election or
place in history are far more important than we.
If you doubt this consider the discrepancy between what the
American people want in terms of gun regulations as expressed repeatedly in
every poll and what the whores in the House and Senate are willing to give
us. If you doubt this I suggest that you
consider Obama’s recent decision with regard to protecting Monsanto. In that case it was, “Don’t let the good be
the enemy of the cash.” A pox on all of
them.
