This kind of shit happens all the time by people bound by political ideologies. When the first version of the bill was passed by the house (and still being debated by the house), someone posted, on this board, a list of 50 claims about the law, purported to have been written by a constitutional lawyer. With citations of page and line number for every one. So I read the bill. Beginning to end. As i did with the final bill. 49 out of the 50 were outright falsities (including “death panels”). I documented exactly why each was false. The one true statement was that minority medical school students would get grants.
But people who are ideologically opposed to either the sponsor of the bill, the party proposing the bill, or for any of dozens of other reasons, ignore facts, and stick with beliefs, latch on to those falsities to support their religious like beliefs despite all evidence to the contrary. It has dumbed us down as a country. It is, and will continue to be an impediment to progress.[/quote]
I will point out that this works both ways. There have been several people on this board who will argue to death on behalf of one political party no matter how many facts are presented to prove them wrong.
