“Kinda blew that all to Hell with the forced purchase of abortion coverage in Obamacare, didn’t they? But then, hypocrisy always was their strong suit.”
How is that “forced purchase” working out? I still haven’t met anyone who purchased anything; has anyone paid yet?
“Liberals really have no problem with killing, and they definitely have no problem with telling others what to do, so when they run the government—look out.”
I know they have no morality; that is why they can’t tell anyone to do ANYTHING (they have conceded that option, since it is a defining feature of “liberalism”). They can encourage, but not compel. Conducting meaningless wars is easier with a volunteer military (for both parties); one reason Europe has been so pacifist is because some countries still have service requirements (and are therefore more accountable for how they spend those lives).
That bunch of liberals in DC is doing a fine job of issuing edicts day and night for people who can't tell anyone to do anything.
As for moral authority, they don't have squat, but that doesn't stop them from pushing rules and regulations up America's collective keester.
July 1 the Obamacare requirement will be dumped on people http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3173302/posts, other cans have been kicked down the road, but not far.
Case in point:
Who started the draft for Vietnam?
Who stopped it?
