PALIN'S OUTRAGEOUS DEMAGOGUERY: WHY NOT? EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT.
It's not what's on the surface, my friend, to which she's referring. She is smart enough to read between the lines and connect Obama's statements (slips of the tongue when the truth comes out), his past philosophy, and the stated preference of people he's chosen as advisors (with a plethora of czars who can do everything behind closed doors with no accountability to the US citizens. This being the case, we can only go by their past statements, which in many cases are quite specific and right along the lines of what Palin suggests). When we all know the public option is a foot-in-the-door for a single-payer system, and when we know Obama has surrounded himself with those who believe they can come up with a value to put on your life to determine your level of care - a value THAT THEY DECIDE. Then yes, with this eye-catching phrase, she has taken the reforms to their logical conclusion. Just because it is not explicitly stated in the legislation proposed now by no means garuntee things in this health care bill to lead quite naturally to her scenario. It's the old familiar analogy of 2 trains leaving the same station on different tracks. At first, their path may seem barely different, but a hundred miles down the track, they are in 2 totally different places. This health care bill may not be so 'scary' right now, but it very much has the potential to put us on the wrong track. That is the wisdom in her words - she's looking ahead.
On another note, WHY ALL THIS BASHING OF RIGHT ON RIGHT?!? I see it all over the place. The left has no need to pick us apart, because we do it enough ourselves. Sure, we may not be 100% unanimous on all issues...but why waste time attacking our own when there are others out there to focus on with foundational differences in political philosophy. Instead, why not work to put forth what a conservative health care overhall would look like. Articles bashing Palin - from both sides of the aisle - are a dime a dozen. Why waste time adding to the mountains of this and focus instead on ways to present our side...because honestly folks, right now I think very few know what alternative the right is presenting.
