In order to illustrate the fundamental divide in the current policy debate, we can look at how both sides of the ideological aisle are conducting internal discourse. Liberals are debating cost-control measures for health insurance and how to expand access to healthcare for tens of millions of uninsured Americans. Conservatives (featured in this clip are two senators, Jim DeMint, Lunatic-South Carolina and Sam Brownback, Lunatic-Kansas, as well as Representative Michele Bachmann, Lunatic-Minnesota) are praying for God to defeat liberals in this Family Research Council Anti-Healthcare Reform Prayercast. When I say that conservatives lack meaningful policy solutions to major social problems, with their lack of solutions being so obvious that they rely on hysterical hate-filled prayer instead of rational discussion and an honest exchange of ideas, I'm not confused. Liberals are pinning their hopes on reasonable persuasion, facts, evidence, and reality. Conservatives are praying for God to defeat social progress. Hmm...
Let's take a look at the clip.
