True enough, Massachusetts cut the number of uninsured in that state in half through Governor Romney’s health reform. But it didn’t create any new doctors. The state expanded the demand for care, but it did nothing to expand supply. More people than ever are trying to get care, but because there was no increase in medical services, it has become more difficult than ever to actually see a doctor.

This in fact is the most obvious objection to Obamacare. One that I am shocked that is not made more often.

Generally, a VERY good summary of the deceit of ObamaCare, but it sure sounds to me like Mr. Goodman has a problem with religious people.

Personally, I think that a certain amount of decorum is in order regardless of the setting. Consider the lies that BO told during his SOTU. It was generally recognized that, despite lying his face off, it was the inappropriate time for someone to stand up and call him out. Not that BO shouldn't have been chastised for shamelessly using the SOTU to propogate lies, but just that there is a time & place - whether in congress or in the church.

Personnally, when I have heard a pastor telling lies from the pulpit, I have called him on it, in no uncertain terms - just not in the middle of his homily.

Still, a very good summary to save & keep for the sanctimonious folk who "believe" in ObamaCare.

Liberalism is a dangerous, mentally ill cult with clout. They genuflect to their three gods of Government, Genitalia, and Global Warming. Three gods for the price of one but still no bargain.

...as well as Communism, Socialism, Political Correctness, Green Politics, and all other “Progressive Politics”...

I’ve concluded that for some people on the left, political beliefs are like a false religion in which the parishioners become unable to distinguish myth from reality.

After decades of socialist indoctrination by the schools, and the assault on reason, reality, and objectivity by modern intellectuals, libtards are no longer able to think, or refuse to think, and all they can depend on for guidance is their emotions.They become emotionalists, and their emotions becomes their reality.

It is like a watered down version of fascism or communism where it substitutes the worship of the State and/or “Dear Leader” for God.

Sure, there are people for whom politics is a religion.

You can find whole families out there who've been emotionally living off their ideological commitments for generations.

Politics, ideology, being on the left, say, is the most important thing for them.

But to say that a set of views that you disagree with is always and everywhere in itself a religion is going too far.

Rev Denis Fahey nailed it, calling liberalism “unconscious collective messianism”.
