If it passes
If Obamacare passes: What the Dems are saying about reconciliation and Andy McCarthy’s must-read on what’s really going on. A bit of that:
You have a party with the numbers to do anything it puts its mind to, led by movement Leftitsts who see their window of opportunity is closing. We seem to expect them to moderate because that’s what everybody in their position does. But they won’t. They will put their heads down and go for as much transformation as they can get, figuring that once they get it, it will never be rolled back.
Other stuff at P&P:
Coming to a grimy clinic near you: So some of us will die in our own excrement. No one said fairness and compassion were free. Oh, wait a sec. Yes, they did say exactly that. But in truth government-run “healthcare” is the worst of both worlds — fiscally unsustainable and deplorably poor in quality.
Children last: Mark Steyn writes:
When state-of-the-art totalitarianism meets primitive village culture, the result is industrial-scale depravity.
Our next post will have to be something very upbeat.

Andy McCarthy is spot on.

Yes. The Democrats in Congress are the most radical even of their own party. They are essentially engineering an internal coup, led by their Dear Leader Barack Obama.
I am exaggerating only slightly. The National Review lead on their next issue about defending American Exceptionalism is important.We have to fight for every Congressional vote–call your legislator. There are a few Dems who will back away from this American catastrophe.

Scary stuff from McCarthy, but I agree with him. No moderation or moving to center from our Ideologue in Chief, just head down, plow ahead, destroy our country.
One point, though, that I do wonder about is whether McCarthy is right about republicans not having the “gumption” to dismantle the “ballooning welfare state.” This rests on the assumption that it will be in place and operational (i.e. the public becomes dependent on it, as they have MediCare and Social Security), but it won’t be fully in effect for years. And with the mood of the country what it is right now, I don’t think a conservative could get elected unless he or she promised to repeal every last bit of it . . . if it passes.
