My Free Speech: WSJ Follows Up Koch Brothers Attack on America With Insane Attack on Obamacare
The Rupert Murdock print edition of Fox News followed up its recent freely provided publication of the free speech screed of the Koch Brothers supporting fascism in America with an equally insane screed by resident screed producer Peggy Noonan, attacking the Affordable Care Act with a fact and logic free and thoroughly incoherent ranting on how the President's signature legislation exceeding it's targeted enrolment for private signups as further evidence of the "catastrophe"' all actual evidence to the contrary.
I am not providing a link, it makes me feel complicit, but it really is just some really weird and nasty stuff, essentially substituting her own personal opinion for facts and running with it to a final judgement, kind of like the conservative Republican judges on SCOTUS.
Apparently facts are just too complicated for conservatives to bother with even trying to understand, so why bother trying to support your opinion with facts?...that appears to be the thesis.
A sample:
""What the bill declared it would do—insure tens of millions of uninsured Americans—it has not done. There are still tens of millions uninsured Americans. On the other hand, it has terrorized millions who did have insurance and lost it, or who still have insurance and may lose it.
The program is unique in that it touches on an intimate and very human part of life, the health of one's body, and yet normal people have been almost wholly excluded from the debate. This surely was not a bug but a feature. Given a program whose complexity is so utter and defeating that it defies any normal human attempt at comprehension, two things will happen. Those inclined to like the spirit of the thing will support it on the assumption the government knows what its doing. And the opposition will find it difficult to effectively oppose—or repeal the thing—because of the program's bureaucratic density and complexity. It's like wrestling a manic, many-armed squid in ink-darkened water."
I am not making that up, because you see how that works. The very complexity required of a health reform law that seeks to cover as many people as possible with health insurance while at the same time controlling the health care industry costs of a for profit delivery system is just too immense that it must by definition be a failure.
Furthermore, millions are apparently being terrorized by this law, as loose a use of the word as you will find.
Peggy, we all know you are paid by the word to attack the President, but just because you can not understand anything only means all your opinions about that thing are, by definition, a catastrophe.
