I want to know the rush in this. People are not dying in the streets. Let the govt start a program for the small percentage of those that don’t have it. A test. This bullying is because of a push for communism. Period. The insanity of not just Congress, but the President making health decisions.
The liberals pushing this are in two categories. Those wanting socailism/communism, or just ignorant and lacking common sense.

Victor Davis Hanson finally gets it.

It ain’t about Health Care. It ain’t about the economy. It ain’t about the environment.

It’s about power. It’s about a fundamental restructuring of the country, with Obamy and his cronies on top, and the rest of us way way way on the bottom.

Thank God some really smart influential people are beginning to get it.

Glenn Beck got Karl Rove going a bit on his show today as well. (Glenn is one of the few who really get it. Rush does too. I’m not sure Hannity fully gets it yet either. He seems to be hung up on the Socialism aspect of the strategy.)

Dubya needs to speak out soon. And Newt and Romney need to begin calling it what it is. A fascist coup, halfway complete.

The criminal maniacs may be closer to closing the vise than we think.

Our dem congressman on LI NY moved his town hall two day before it is to be held and is loading the front seats with partisan hacks and union thugs. It takes place tomorrow.

So being irrational like we are presented in this article, I suppose I will go and ignore opposing perspective and say irrational things tomorrow.

in the end When gov’t gets it’s tentacles in things it tends to overreach and screw up. But heck if there was not so much gov’t waste and they were efficient we would all be slaves now.

“Similarly, past research…has shown in particular that people who are less confident in their beliefs are more reluctant than others to seek out opposing perspectives. So these people avoid counter evidence all together.”

So why does that automatically apply to anyone who opposes this reform plan?? From what I can tell, those in opposition are VERY confident in their beliefs. And from my own point of view, I gladly welcome the “opposing perspective”. I search out arguments in favor of the healthcare reform bill because I WANT someone to convince me it’s the way to go. As of yet, no one has been able to do that.

I’m not skeptical at all about it, I KNOW it won’t work.

Notice how they only work with Republicans to develop their data. In these whackadoodle’s minds, its the democraps that are the rational ones. The same democraps who when you confront them with facts begin to scream that you’re a ( you choose your favorite) a Nazi or a racist. Now that’s rational. Talk about junk science.

“Even if you have free press, freedom of speech, it doesn’t make people listen to all points of view,” she said. Yep, she’s right about that, and the libwits prove it every day.

What rational person could possibly imagine that a complete redesign of the most complex system ever created (other than major wars) would be anything other than a disaster? And even more hilariously, the “template” is Medicare, a system with an unfunded liability equal to 3 or 4 times the annual economic product of the United States.

It’s really not a question of rationality. It’s a question of basic intelligence.

They really believe we are idiots.

they like to substitute the phrase i prefer, “core principles”, with the word “belief” in an attempt to substitute/disguise our rational thought with the appearance of being emotional.

“”People get deeply attached to their beliefs,”"

Yeah, my belief is in The Constitution, including its Amendments.

Riiiight. I just knee-jerked into the anti-ObamaCare camp, because I am irrational. I didn’t look at the lessons learned from the UK and Canada.
