Sen. Kay Hagan Gets Earful on Healthcare

If I can find embeddable video later I will post it, but don’t miss this confrontation in Winston-Salem with the North Carolina Democrat by a mother who “lives in hospitals” with her two children. She comes off knowing way more than Hagan, who just comes off as ignorant.

If I can find embeddable video later I will post it, but don’t miss this confrontation in Winston-Salem with the North Carolina Democrat by a mother who “lives in the hospital” with her two children. She knows way more about Obamacare than Hagan, who just comes off as ignorant. Kudos to the NBC affiliate WXII for capturing and posting the story. A taste:

“I don’t want free health care. Because I will sell everything I own to pay for my children because this is America,” the concerned parent said.

Bonus, 7:30 a.m. 8/19/10: In this April radio interview, Hagan refuses to answer a question about whether the health care mandate is constitutional.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
