Right on: More Family Values that Aren't, on the Right

  1. Hello Dog Gone,
    This is off topic but I have to pass this on because it is just TOOOO RICH!!

    I heard an interesting bit of information on NPR.

    The "Individual Mandate," Health Care that is on trial in the Supreme Court today, which requires virtually all Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a fine, was the brainchild of conservative economists and embraced by some of the nation's most prominent Republicans for nearly two decades. This was the counter proposal against the Hillary Clinton’s proposal in the early 1990’s where employers would have to provide health care for their workers.

    Yet today, many of those champions, including presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, are among the mandate's most vocal critics.

    So to reiterate and restate for clarity, what we are now hearing being called Obama Care Socialized Medicine, was really the CONSERVATIVE REPUBICAN’S Health Care Plan in the early 1990’s.

    When we hear the Pavloved programmed, non-critical thinking people, mindlessly repeating the rhetoric being propagated by Conservative Talk Radio, and Fox Programming, would be surprised and disbelieving that the Obama Health Care they are so against today….started out as the CONSERVATIVE REPUBICAN’S Health Care Plan in the early 1990’s.

  2. You and NPR are absolutely correct. The right only rejected it when someone actually got around to acting on it.

    I think you can fairly argue that they were hypocrites in two ways, 1. in never planning to do anything with the idea, just give it lip service to appear as if they cared about the problem; and 2. that they never ever ever objected to the ideas for the reasons they are now when they claimed the ideas as solely their own. It only became a problem for them when Obama called their bluff and acted on it, so then they had to make all of the false criticisms and lies they have been circulating about it. NONE of those things were a problem for them before when it was THEIR idea. NONE.

    Their family values don't give a damn if kids starve, or are sick and need health care, or if they are born with terrible health problems. They only care about abortion, not people living, and about denying women affordable contraceptive to keep them barefoot and pregnant.

    It has stunned me the extent to which the right systematically tries to punish sexuality, while exalting and rewarding and protecting lawless violence against other people (and even against lawful elected government, in the instance of the militias).
