I first heard the term "crap sandwich" back in the pre-Tea Party days. It was being used to describe the stimulus plan Barack Obama forced on Americans soon after landing in office back in 2009. You remember this plan; it was called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, but Rush Limbaugh called it "porkulus."

Crap sandwiches and porkulus were a big part of the activist lexicon back then, and the terrible policies behind the terms were what led CNBC's Peter Santelli to rant about the need for a new tea party. Frustrated conservatives answered the call, and the Tea Party movement was born. 

The next crap sandwich Obama and the Democrat Party force-fed Americans was Obamacare. The ultimately-successful effort by the left to insert government in between patients and their health care providers, thus further driving up costs, was shrouded in secrecy. 

Nancy Pelosi told us: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” If you'll recall, Democrats literally shut out Republicans from the legislative process when the bill was being crafted. Here's a snippet from the Washington Post on October 26, 2009:

On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) is expected to request a cost estimate on the bill he has worked out behind closed doors, moving one step closer to debate in the full Senate, his spokesman said.

Ah, yes, Pelosi and Reid -- the Bonnie and Clyde of the legislative process. 

It was no secret that Republicans were shut out of the process. What was a secret in the months leading up the Obamacare vote was how members of Congress were going to vote. As opposition to the bill grew amongst the right and Americans who were alarmed at the consequences it would bring, the cowards of the Democrat Party refused to publicly say how they intended to vote. 

This led the Tea Party to organize "Congressional House Calls" on Capitol Hill to pin down those cagey Democrats on whether they were yea or nay on Obamacare. I went to the office of my then-congressman, the odious Gerry Connolly (D-VA), with my camera in hand and asked his staff how he intended to vote. Instead of getting an answer, one of Connolly's senior staff members knocked heavily into me, forcing me to drop my camera.

I retell the story on my long-dormant blog, but here's what I learned that day: Democrats are ruthless, nasty, without conscience and will get violent to ensure get their way. And they expect us to take it without fighting back. 

Fast-forward to today, and the very same left that told Americans to shut up about health care 15 years ago is now celebrating the assassination of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson and calling for more bloodshed because health care costs are too high. Yes, the death cult is hate-filled to realize they're protesting themselves. 

They wanted this. They shut everyone else out and passed "The Affordable Care Act." We told them there was nothing affordable or good about it, but they pushed it through anyway. They own the current state of health care. The only scalps they should be calling for are their own.

Here's what I wrote a few days back about the bloodthirsty cabal that is today's American left:

There's really only one conclusion to be drawn here, and it's one that we've long known is true: the left and its political apparatus, the Democrat Party, is a death cult. They are the loudest when they want mothers to kill their babies, Jews to be exterminated and, now, CEOs to be murdered in cold blood because... capitalism. 

There are two important stories being told here: First, the left wanted health care to be like this; they shut out all other voices and crammed it through. If they're this mad, they need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. They are as much to blame for this mess as are health care CEOs like Brian Thompson, so should we be okay if someone wanted to take out random leftist activists, too? Or if someone went after some of the Democrat Party's leadership?

Secondly, the Tea Party eventually morphed into and was absorbed by the Make America Great Again movement. Instead of calling for bloodshed against their political opponents, MAGA got revenge the good, old-fashioned way: they voted the bums out. 

We have a teachable moment at hand here. More voices on the right need to be talking about the fact that Democrats and the left own the current state of health care in the United States. They got what they wanted, so they should suffer the consequences.
