Friday Link Wrap-up
The Left considers honest disagreement as "hate", redefining what should be a rather well-defined term. This leads Tom Gilson at First Things to feel compelled to state that he does not hate homosexuals, despite his having signed the Manhattan Declaration. Apparently, being associated with that stereotypes you as some sort of Westboro Church member. Love that "tolerant" Left.
That promise from Obama that you could keep your existing plan and not be forced to change under ObamaCare(tm) has already been broken. But now even unions realize they won’t be able to afford coverage for children, so they’re dropping it. (But since they are unions, after all, they have to put forward a good face about this whole government takeover.)
The cost of the War on Poverty, since its inception is more than the cost of all of the actual wars in US history. Annual spending, in 2008 and adjusted for inflation, was 13 times what it was in 1964. Imagine if this money were to be given to private charities who waste far less of each dollar than the government does. Imagine how much less it would cost. It’s easy if you try.
Hmm, I feel a song coming on.
