I guess I just don’t “care” enough.
With a firm renunciation of reason sitting in your corner, it makes perfect sense to argue, as Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli does, that his state’s anti-Obamacare lawsuit is “more about liberty than it is about health care.â€
It is the quintessence of callousness for Cuccinelli and others like him to pit an academic definition of freedom against the well-being of the 1 million (or 15.1 percent) non-elderly Virginians who don’t have health insurance.
“An academic definition of freedom”?
Is that all she thinks of the idea of “liberty”? Really?
The idea that the government can’t go around demanding that I buy something or otherwise get fined (which is simply a tax punishment).
I wonder what her reaction would be to the government demanding that she exercise her 2nd Amendment rights and purchase a firearm and attend regular, yearly firearms training classes? After all, it would save the nation money if they only had to send the meatwagon out to pick up criminals and didn’t have to spend so much on policing and investigating.
Would she see that as “excessive governmental demands”?
Would she accuse the government of colluding with firearms manufacturers and firearms training facilities?
Would she even be able to resist complaining about how this new governmental demand had increased the cost of firearms, ammunition and training?
Because that is all I and AG Cuccinelli are doing about the health insurance mandate.
