blue bits. red rocks.
Tuesday 3 July 2012

A Liberal form of healthcare? That would be socialized medicine. The kind of thing that much of Europe has. That Canada has. That Vermont is poised to implement on a statewide level. ObamaCare? It really is RomneyCare, just as RomneyCare really is ObamaCare. The smear cuts both ways. It’s a two-way mirror that each man attempts to hide behind, but which clearly reveals both of them in all of their center-right glory. Thus, the Florida decision was not a victory for Liberalism. Regardless of your actual opinion about the healthcare bill, in reality this decision is a reflection of center-right dominance in America. And that so many Liberals robustly celebrated when the ACA prevailed in court indicates at least two things: First, the partisan divide has become so deep that Americans loyal to this or that party or ideology will seemingly celebrate any victory, even those that do not actually reflect their values. Second is just how far to the right this nation has swung over the last quarter-century. So far to the right that, as we witnessed last week, a major policy initiative that used to be Republican is now Democrat. And most people simply accept that reality. America’s Move to the Right
