I don’t get Sowell’s argument. He says we should be focusing on things like Benghazi instead of defunding Obamacare, because defunding Obamacare “can’t” be done and it “distracts” from Obama’s scandals. But he says defunding it would be the right thing to do if we could do it. What “can” we do about Benghazi? As if it hasn’t been talked about to death by this point. It didn’t even get any traction in the presidential campaign.

Whether or not it gets successfully defunded or not is beside the point. Let’s put it this way, if someone in Nazi Germany couldn’t realistically stop the gas chambers, wouldn’t it still be worth their time to stand up and protest it? We didn’t defeat the Soviet Union overnight either. But did that stop someone like Reagan from giving speeches about it year after year until finally the last straw broke the camel’s back?

I’ve heard almost nothing about Obamacare from Republicans lately, but I’ve heard plenty about these other scandals, most of which, other than the NSA scandal, are MUCH smaller-scale. They won’t affect every single American’s life every single day infinitely into the future like Obamacare will. They won’t lead our nation to bankruptcy and destroy the greatest health care system that’s ever existed in the world.
