As appropriate as Matthew Vadum’s Pearl Harbor reference to yesterday’s disastrous attack on the America system is; I slightly prefer another way to label the date. Over at National Review Online’s The Corner, the indispensable Mark Steyn wishes us all Happy Dependence Day:
STEYN: “Tou can say, oh, well, the polls show most people opposed to it, but, if that mattered, the Dems wouldn’t be doing what they’re doing. Their bet is that it can’t be undone, and that over time, as I’ve been saying for years now, governmentalized health care not only changes the relationship of the citizen to the state but the very character of the people. As I wrote in NR recently, there’s plenty of evidence to support that from Britain, Canada, and elsewhere.”
This is prototypical Steyn– brilliant, witty, penetrating– and worth repeating. I think this could and should catch on. Calling March 21, 2010 Dependence Day sums up everything that’s wrong with Obamacare in a way people can understand, and emphasizes just how utterly against the tradition of America this monstrosity is. Pass it on.
