It is hard to decipher whether the administration’s doubling down on healthcare reform today is a result of tone-deafness, arrogance, stupidity, or ideological rigidity. Best to conclude it is a mixture of all of the above. Regardless of the reason, there is only one response for freedom-loving people- gird yourself up and prepare to fight, again.
This escalation by the President puts the lie to his talk of bipartisanship and destroys the announced premise of the upcoming healthcare summit. Most would have expected the Democrats, given recent electoral history, to back off their proposals. Instead they are ratcheting up their proposals and their rhetoric, hoping to intimidate those who disagree into surrendering. It is time to fight…AGAIN!
