Sullivan's Hand in Your Pocket

[Updates below.]

My own hope a year ago was that the sheer amount of reconstruction money that would be spent in Iraq would surely win over the population.

-Andrew Sullivan

That's your money he's so glibly tossing around in his mind and asking so eagerly to be spent elsewhere. Think about that the next time he bitches about rights and freedom.

ADDED LATER:

On a related note...

The increasing popularity of laws that allow doctors and pharmacists to opt out of certain practices or even certain kinds of patient is a worrying trend. It was designed in part by the religious right to prevent gay people from having access to good medical care, and also to protect doctors from being forced to perform abortions. Now, its effects are being extended to the birth control pill, which some believe can be a form of abortion. The slow and fitful attempt of the far right to control others' sex lives continues. If you approve, vote Republican.

That's him again.

Mr. Sullivan then apparently wants people within the medical profession to be forced to treat patients they don't want to treat. Why?

We reserve the right to refuse service.


Good enough for retail. Not good enough for health care. Pftt.

Of course, when Mr. Sullivan says something like "The desire to control other people's lives is a universal on both right and left. And universally deplorable." just a little while later, I have to give up and move on. He's clueless.
