It’s very clear that some of the alleged “anti-healthcare reform” activists are actually just using this as an excuse to demonstrate their innate bigotries. They’re not opposed to changing the status quo regarding healthcare, they’re opposed to any progress whatsoever. They’d be happy to be back in 1950 when those pesky negros and Jews and homosexuals and women knew their place and rich, white men ran things for their own benefit, as it should be.
How about another analogy, then? Most liberals were against the Bush taxcuts. Myself included. Come tax time though, I (and I imagine 99.99% of the liberals on this board) still took advantage of them. Sure, I could’ve taken a principled stand against them and sent the government extra money. I didn’t. Am I a hypocrite? Is everyone else that did the same one too?
I hope the tax cuts get repealed after the economy picks up. I hope I (and everyone else) go back to their old tax rates. In the meantime, I’m just taking the hand I was dealt with.
