Medical Slavery
Republican party chair Michael Steele complains against Senator Reid’s comparison of opposition to “health care reform” legislation with historical opposition to slavery. I note:
Another pathetically weak position by the Republican leadership.
Historically, Democrats were the defenders of both slavery and Jim Crow.
Today, Democrats champion the idea that some must labor uncompensated for the benefit of others by order of the government.
However, the unprincipled Republicans can not name such compulsion as a new government enforced slavery because they are pragmatically complicit in the legal expansion of involuntary servitude as ordered upon the minority by the majority.
Conservatives resist change. Liberals push for it by definition. Protest all you want, but you know it’s true. Republicans under Lincoln were liberals. Now they are totally conservative. Conservatives by their nature are on the wrong side of history. Why can’t you own up to it? Is denial all you know?

You are so right when you say:
“However, the unprincipled Republicans can not name such compulsion as a new government enforced slavery because they are pragmatically complicit in the legal expansion of involuntary servitude as ordered upon the minority by the majority.”
Cowards! No one, Republican or otherwise seems to care that if this so-called healthcare reform legislation passes our doctors will be in effect slaves and that the coming government mandate for individuals to carry insurance is unconstitutional. What are we do to?
