In the excerpts Vanderboegh posted on his blog “which deal with the decision today,” he says of a then-potential decision upholding the health care law, “You may call tyranny a mandate or you may call it a tax, but it still is tyranny and invites the same response.” He further predicts the response of his ilk: “If we refuse to obey, we...

– Politico spoke to Democrat lawmakers who fought to pass the Affordable Care Act — and who were voted out as a result. The consensus? No regrets.

Didn’t Romney enact universal healthcare in Massachusetts? Does he really think the Obama camp can’t hit him hard on this point?

Look, I’m a socialist (it’s in my blog name, see?), so I’m in complete agreement that a universal, public option for healthcare is the only right way to do healthcare. Medicine, life-saving operations, emergency assistance, and…
