Lies and Collusion
Not surprisingly, the health care legislation in congress has many things tucked into it that are of questionable relevance to health care reform. Among the gems are “billions of dollars for walking paths, streetlights, jungle gyms, and even farmers’ markets….”
What’s particularly interesting is a comment defending these items by Ted Kennedy’s spokesman. He said:
If improving the lighting in a playground or clearing a walking path or a bike path or restoring a park are determined as needed by a community to create more opportunities for physical activity, we should not prohibit this from happening…
“We should not prohibit this”? Correct, we should not. But we, the federal taxpayers, should not be funding it either.
The idea that not funding something at the federal level amounts to prohibiting it is ludicrous. This is a charming example of how off-base the left has become. They brazenly lie. Yes, that is self-evidently a lie. They manipulate language brazenly (one might say in an Orwellian manner).
And the Complicit Media does nothing. No questions. No comments. Nothing. But that’s not a surprise since they adhere to the same ideology.
