Obamacare And The Jews

Dennis Prager writes: My whole column opposing the Democrats’ health care bill — including its very title — was about the growth of the state and how destructive I believe this is for all Americans and for Jews in particular.

So why did Mr. Beckmann ignore the point of what I wrote? Because that was the only way he could portray me as being selfishly motivated in my opposition to the health care bill. As he writes: My view is “solely ‘what’s in it for me’” and that “contradicts fundamental Jewish teachings.”

I point this out because what the writer did is regularly done by liberal critics of conservatives. Rather than refute conservatives’ arguments, they charge conservatives with being selfish people. And mean-spirited, bigoted, intolerant, racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic and any of the other many one-word liberal dismissals of conservatives as people.
