It is unfortunate that Paul Murty would choose to proliferate the “conservatives are racists” narrative, and to do it with such a weak example. Poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans (especially independents) are opposed to the power grab that is the tragic “health reform” bill. The left has found it imperative to label opposition racist as opposed to arguing against the substantive points that dissenters put forth. After all, who cares what one has to say once that person has been branded a bigot, homophobe, racist, etc.?

Paul Murty, to say all people who embrace the Confederacy are racists is a racist statement in itself. I have two Confederate flag bumper stickers on my truck, and I am far from a racist. To me that flag means that the states were not going to let the federal government tell them how to govern. Was slavery a big part of that? Yes, but that does not mean I fly that flag or put it on my truck to say that I want that part of history to change. It just means I don’t want the federal goverment to tell me or my state what I can and can’t do, like making me buy health care if I do not want helath care. It’s my choice to make.

Though I’ve never fully understood the expression, congressional Democrats are keeping true to the English idiom and dropping like flies. Most recently on the no-go list for November is Rep. Bart Stupak (of “Stupak Amendment” fame). Let’s have a walk down memory lane, shall we? By last December 10 House Democrats had artfully announced their early retirement. With the new year, announcements from the esteemed Senate had come in: former presidential hopeful Chris Dodd, North Dakota’s Byron Dorgan and Evan Bayh (former governor of Indiana and rumored 2008 presidential contender).
