Sunday, January 31, 2010  BBC: What's the Matter With Americans?
The BBC has a snobby and biased piece up basically whinging
that, in rejecting Obamacare, Americans are voting "against
their interests."  The piece spends a great deal of time telling
the reader that American health care is soooo expensive (without
explaining why) and that Americans must be crazy not to want
rationing. Well, that's my take on it, anyway.       It would
have been nice if the BBC had actually talked to those who
oppose Obamacare, rather than just generalizing about them,
insinuating that they're stupid or "just angry" if they don't
think a government run system is in their best interests.
Protein Wisdom notes that " in other countries, people
demonstrate for the government to do more things for them. Only
Americans would turn out in the streets for huge demos,
demanding that the government leave them the hell alone." Those
silly Americans!  More analysis here.  Friday, January 29, 2010
