After the election I predicted that the nation would only get more polarized under the Obama administration.  Thanks to a sweeping big government agenda and a radical president, this was not hard to foresee.  The President’s record decline in the approval polls and the growing contention surrounding his most important agenda item – health care – have vindicated this argument.

Flabbergasted that the little people would dare object to his health care agenda, Obama had his minions issue orders to “punch back twice as hard.”  Some of his SEIU thugs took this advice literally. In St. Louis they launched a racially motivated attack on a black conservative who dared to hand out Gadsden (”Don’t Tread on Me”) flags.

Proponents of big government, often the first to resort to violence, just don’t seem to understand that political polarization is a direct consequence of their ideology.  Government creates polarization by forcing taxpayers into high-stakes battles for political handouts.  Big government tears at the fabric of a society and disrupts social harmony.  With the radical agenda promised by President Obama, the stresses and fighting will only get worse.
