Does Anybody Really Understand ObamaCare?
The American Thinker ^ | April 06, 2010 | Peter Wilson

Posted on 04/06/2010 3:00:12 AM PDT by Scanian

Since the passage of the Health Care Reform Bill, the Democrat leadership has embarked on a strategy of demonizing its opponents as angry, potentially violent racists. Charles M. Blow developed a new line of attack in his New York Times column last weekend, with an argument based on a recent Pew Research Council poll: Republicans don't understand ObamaCare, so they have no right to criticize it.

Coverage of the Pew poll took a good chunk of the Times Op-Ed page, with bar charts demonstrating "A lack of understanding" of Obamacare, based their poll question, "How well do you feel you understand how the new health care reform law will affect you and your family?" Democrats, who generally support the bill, reported greater understanding, with 64% answering "very much" or "somewhat" and 37% responding "not so much" or "not at all." Republicans were less confident that they understood the bill, with a 47/52 breakdown in these categories.

A Reagan quote comes to mind, “Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

One of my Facebook friends claims to know what is in it...in fact he said that he was not sure but after he read about the things that were in it that he “could not be more proud of my President.” When I said, wow, you read it, not even congress did that he said “at least he and the Democrats can read, unlike the teabaggers.”

He’s practically a saint compared to one of the former coworkers I had on Facebook. He supported Obamacare for no other reason than because it would help “people of color rise up” while “crushing the white man”. Even though this idiot was white he had a self-loathing beyond imagination. He said that he hoped the federal insurance would “not go to a single white person”.

Which one - the real bill, or the one in Obama’s head?

He is indeed an idiot. Does he think he will be exempt in the "crushing" just for kissing up?

He seemed like a really interesting guy when I worked with him. Then I read the leftist drivel he posted on his Facebook page and soon after removed the loser.

I was kinda just joking. (: I am getting to the point where I have zero tolerance for them anymore.

I am looking to buy a new house here next month and I feel compelled to ask the realtor I am working with if she is a Obama supporter. If she is, I can't do business with her and allow her to profit from me.

It's just the point I am getting to.

I’m a bit nervous right now because I have to meet this guy again over the summer. I really lambasted him with factual data on Facebook. I was never impolite but you know how much liberals hate facts. This guy is going to try to destroy me now.

He wrote about how every white person is “innately racist” and how America is a racist imperialist country. His idiot friend posted an “academic” article by some leftists who thinks every problem in the USA is caused entirely and only by white racism. I wrote them both a few pages about the history of humanity and the evil that EVERY society on Earth has causes to one another at some point in history. He wasn’t pleased that I criticized non-Americans.

All Americans are just too pathetically stupid, so of course we have no right to criticize legislation passed with bribes among the elitists....

I do. It’s the backdoor reparations I have been talking about since nObama began his candidacy.

and how America is a racist imperialist country

People who say that can not have travelled outside of this country. Ask him if he has any idea how racist Asian cultures are or even Hispanic cultures? Hell, African cultures too.

Many leftists HAVE been outside the country, they just didn’t learn a damn thing when they were there.
