Notice how he slips in "self-confessed" to imply something is wrong with conservatism, without actually saying that so he can be challenged on it?
And then refers to policies of "Red China" as though I were encouraging communism, when it's clear I was praising their inroads into capitalism instead?
These liberals just can't argue issues straightforwardly. Every thing must be implicaion, innuendo, skulduggery... because if they try to address facts directly, their agenda falls apart every time.
It's not easy being a liberal these days.
My sympathies.
Back to the subject: It's remarkable that the largest nation on earth, with more experience with communist and socialist systems than we'll ever have (I hope!), is abandoning a socialistic Health Care system since it costs far more than their govt can possibly handle... and we are missing this most obvious of warnings and plunging closer and closer to the very kind of system that RED China has decided isn't workable.
It takes a particularly obtuse and blinders-on government to make such a huge misstep, in the face of such obvious warnings. Alas, we elected exactly that kind of govt in 2008. Now we will pay the price.
Socialism does not work, whether you are China or the United States (or the USSR, where it also failed). Every major country thatt has tried it, got badly burned, and is now reeling away from it. But alas, one nation of fools is still rushing in where those who have tried it (hardly angels) rightly fear to tread.
