They've got a lot more good arguments on their side. That's probably pretty frustrating if you have political beliefs that differ and could be why conservative media resorts so often to ideological conjecture instead of good reporting.
Yeah, there was an interesting article in the past year or two, can't put my finger on where and by whom, which examined conservative frustration with trends in higher education and the way the voting patterns among college grads was shifting away from conservatism (which has historically done pretty well with this demographic). The article said that conservatives' next war would be the "War on Education," and while I think that's putting it a little extremely, our nation's conservatives do seem to be pretty convinced that universities are hotbeds of radical leftism and that maybe we're just a little too intent on making college more affordable and universal.
Maybe better reporting techniques leads it to more progressive conclusions. Sort of the same way that scientific research is more persuasive than traditional biblical teachings (to use one of the more extreme parts of conservative foundations -- that may not be very fair on my part).
It has been going on for quite a while, and I don't think that's putting it a little extremely at all.
I don't think jon was actually saying that UHC was bad policy. But there's no question that progs and conservatives view the European systems that we're looking to emulate here through very different lenses.
That is just false. That were not the death panels Palin was talking about. There is/was a Board of Trustees which would be triggered when medical cost grew too high. This board would recommend procedures not to be funded by government health care to cut costs. Palin speculated that such cuts would likily target elderly and mentally ###### children such as her child for reductions in available treatments.
Maybe we should read “Swedish-Made Death Panels And Me (This Sort Of Thing Is My Bag, Baby)” by Austin Powers. Might be a good start.
They sweat the details for hours on end, then close their poors with a cold splash of reality.
Funny, that's not the argument she posted on Facebook at the time. She was very clearly talking about the "end of life" counseling provision.jon_mx said:
Exactly. That was Obama speculating on what she meant and her responding to his response. At the end she points out that is not what she originally meant when she made the statement.
What's clear is that she's using comments from someone else to interpret Section 1233 incorrectly (or, more precisely, in a way that will support her "possible death panel" claim). She never even mentions the "Board of Trustees" provision you're raising.
