Glad you’re over the flu. This article helps us understand that Government health care will allow Americans access to a basic right. The right to be pee-tested, blood-tested, mouth-swabbed, and weighed like a jockey every month. The right to provide your prescription and medical records to employers to ensure that you’re following doctor’s orders. The right to exercise as much as they want you to. And the right to say no — if you can afford to. Note that Republicans are putting this into the bill. I guess it’s their patriotic attempt to protect America from Obama’s “death panels.” Fighting fascism is with fascism is a Republican specialty.

The Thing that Used to Be Conservatism does seem to have a charism for this sort of stupidity. But the important thing is, they aren’t Democrats! More big “ideas” from the Party Without Ideas whose last Big Ideas were Deficits Don’t Matter and Salvation Through Leviathan By Any Means Necessary.
