What began as an effort to reverse a draconian law that even now exacts a high toll in terms of jobs lost and skyrocketing premiums, has become a contest of wills in which a President instructs his apparatchiks to inflict as much pain on the citizenry as possible. Chiefly instructive in all this is the salient reality that any person capable of wielding the instrumentalities of the state in a despotic manner in the present, will prove equally capable in the future when he controls your health care.Comment:
The Democrats are overplaying their hand, if this is any indication. I think that it is. There's something that anyone can relate to is the model of a bully. The bully tries to get control over you through intimidation. In this case, the fear is that the public will punish the GOP for opposing the Democrats. Under our Constitution, the GOP has the right to oppose. The only way the GOP loses this right is by default. Even if they lose at the ballot box, they will retain their dignity---and their rights. I don't know how you keep your respect when you back down in fear, even when you are well within your rights.
