Are you seriously going to argue that conservatives didn't try to block each of the social movements I mention? The people who turned fire hoses on blacks-- you think those were the liberals?<br /><br />If you don't see health care coverage for all citizens as a no-brainer, something that every other civilized country sees as a priority, then you are on the wrong side of history.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965005772593835694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-1527359681400838122010-03-23T10:20:11.422-05:002010-03-23T10:20:11.422-05:00Tim,

Are you telling me they are also all wrong?Robert Sievershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073575336019621976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-6263733244954322102010-03-23T08:21:35.950-05:002010-03-23T08:21:35.950-05:00Robert, anyone who understands history knows that ...Robert, anyone who understands history knows that conservatives have fought tooth and nail against every great social change in this country, from emancipation to women's suffrage to Social Security to desegregation to Medicare. <br /><br />They know they're on the wrong side of history, which is why they are so angry about an initiative that has been long overdue: health insurance for all Americans.<br /><br />If this is the end of our country, then how is it that every other civilized country in the world offers health care to its citizens, and yet they have not crumbled into a cloud of dust?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965005772593835694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-85142157956156430342010-03-22T20:22:09.181-05:002010-03-22T20:22:09.181-05:00http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/03/smoker-preside...http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/03/smoker-president-signs-government-run.htmlRobert Sievershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073575336019621976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-54713632753666656362010-03-22T19:24:14.049-05:002010-03-22T19:24:14.049-05:00Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman seems t...Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman seems to disagree, Robert. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/22/opinion/22krugman.htmlPGregory Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406082843885356999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-50441148566367319702010-03-21T20:15:49.221-05:002010-03-21T20:15:49.221-05:00This is the beginning of the end for our country. ...This is the beginning of the end for our country.

She's great. I'm on the CCHCC mailing list and have been getting lots of valuable updates about the health care debate. <br /><br />Your Nader analogy is a good one.
