There they go again

Anyone remember what I wrote recently about the cheering of the death of a hypothetical man?  It is going to be used for accusing the Tea Party for being savage beasts, and now, here it is.

For the death of another human being through no fault of his own, the Tea Party crowd cheered.

Well, this author is not examining what was being said very closely.  Nor does he seem to fully grasp the meaning of personal responsibility if he says the hypothetical death was "no fault of his own".  Also, as I pointed out, the "crowd" didn't cheer, a few people shouted out their approval of the hypothetical man's death.  A distinction worth making.  He did link to the video, which shows that the crowd wasn't cheering, but only a few shouted out.




It is also worth repeating that Ron Paul said also that, when he was a doctor before Medicare became law, nobody was turned away. This is not only a hypothetical man, but the evidence that anything like this has happened is not even being discussed.

The left will reach for anything, and this is proof of it.

It is also worth pointing out again, that this hypothetical man was not poor.  He had a good job, but refused to get his own health insurance.  There is a term that describes the pitfall of bailing people out of their own mistakes: it's called moral hazard.   We've had lots of bailouts recently.  A society full of people who forget to take responsibility for themselves will fall into chaos.
