Here's a source document:
Not The One We Waited For
Isn't that pretty clear?
House Democrats need to be told to pass the Senate bill
What? Who should be doing this telling? Aren't those representatives in the House elected by the people of their districts to represent them? Who beyond the electorate has the authority to tell them what to pass? The Messiah?
"I would advise that we try to move quickly to coalesce around those elements of the package that people agree on."
In short, “Run away, run away”!
What? Isn't the very essence of our republic the idea of consensus of the majority forged through compromise? Isn't that (at last!) the realization of the Bamster? In Krugman's view that is a flaw in der Fuerher. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
I’m pretty close to giving up on Mr. Obama, who seems determined to confirm every doubt I and others ever had about whether he was ready to fight for what his supporters believed in.
When his supporters that believe in the healthcare seizure are outnumbered by the 59% of Americans who don't want this package, why should they prevail?
Can we all pitch in and get Mr. Krugman a copy of the Constitution where he can brush up on what powers the President has? Clearly this man who gets well compensated (dare I say obscenely?) for his opinions by the New York Times doesn't understand democracy.
And, that's what defines a liberal. Someone who knows better than you and will exercise any opportunity to impose his preferences upon you without regard to the rule of law.

Ed,
Have you read "Conflict of Visions" by Thomas Sowell? Sums up the difference core thought processes AKA visions between conservative (constrained) and liberal (unconstrained). Very enlightening.
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages." - Adam Smith
Liberals don't get Smith. They misread human nature; power corrupts. They conflate government and charity, thereby stealing my life.

As MIchael Savage has said, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Hitherto the people with this disorder have been contained in the academy and the entertainment industry, but somehow they have broken out and they are infecting journalism, the education bureaucracies, even the military. And, ironically perhaps, in order to increase and organize their power, they have gone straight to the bankers, much in the same way Hitler did in the 30s.
Adam Smith cannot be denied, unfortunately Liberals and Democrats in general do want to tell everyone else what is good for them and force their ideas onto them...for their own good of course, and yes some of THEM must live fabulous lives so that they may better herd the sheeple for their own good.
