But we're ThinkProgress, and we're going to propagandize you by calling him a libertarian anyway...

How to get the healthy people who avoid doctors and other drug pushers to subsidize the hypochondria of billions of spoiled Baby Boomers. Force them to. Charming.

I've loved the blather shows lately. 'It's the law and it'll never get repealed. Why do you still fight it? Who cares how wrong it is, how poorly it works, or how it erodes our liberties? Just admit we won and shut up!'

'Oh, and it's your obstructionism that shut down the government, even though it takes two to tango and we're just as stubborn as you. As long as our media repeats it over and over, everyone will know it's true!'

There will be more. The young libertarians lean left.

I am glad he enjoys receiving stolen money in the form of subsidies to help pay for his O-care.

He hasn't gotten any of that O-care yet. Once he does, he'll be complaining about it. Guaranteed.

It would be nice to think we're getting what we pay for, and health care will become crappier because it has become free. But, of course, if you add it all up you'll discover we'll soon be paying more overall for crappier care. That's what corporate-driven legislation always nets us, and this will certainly be no exception.

Real libertarians don't lean.

Real libertarians don't lean.

Everyone stands where they stand. Everyone slants what they slant. Even Shameless Cheney Northwoods Apologists can be libertarians at heart, unlikely as that may seem...
