We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost. All original material JHD, BHD, JR, WT, and KA 2003-2007 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:50:01 Z Movable Type 4.12 en Copyright 2008 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification I've had a fascinating exchange of emails with Representative Boyda's health care specialist on the subject of SCHIP. Feeding him the critique from the right, and getting his take on it, and asking specific questions. The bottom line - there is a lot of mischaracterization out there, on both sides, and misinformation, on both sides - and the subject is too complex for 30-second soundbites and 500-word editorials. I tried to figure out a way to blog it - but the only way to do so is a blog post that would make Kat's and Ry's posts seem like postcards.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html Sat, 13 Oct 2007 07:51:03 -0600 The far left folks have ethical boundaries that they try very hard not to cross... The only ethical boundary the Far Left never crossed was "Don't ever criticize the Soviet Union" -- when there *was* a Soviet Union (those on the outs with the Politburo were fair game, but the USSR itself was sacrosanct). And I could make a good case for that being their *only* boundary, ethical or otherwise. Heh -- "far left" and "ethical boundaries" in the same sentence. First real chuckle I've had in weeks -- thanks, Christy!]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html#comment-65529 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html#comment-65529 Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:56:28 -0600 Nice one. Though, I'm wondering why nobody is remembering the crazy guy who took his little girl to counter protest way, way back, where some meanie grabbed her sign and made her cry by yelling at her father(upon whose shoulders she sat). All kinds of rationalizations were made as to why that was okay. ANd you still haven't finished the History of Firearms series, damnit. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html#comment-65528 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/schip_in_the_ne.html#comment-65528 Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:44:25 -0600
