Death panels.

Partially true. The panels were to be created. The proposal did not label them as such. But they were a government-driven usurpation of the rights of the patient through denial of care. Such denial of care ultimately resulting in death in many instances.

Nope. Just NCDs like Medicare has and literally every insurer has.

For the term not to have any truth, it had traction. Obama had that section pulled from the bill.

How about the simple fact that Trump has not endorsed any of Project 2025, has denounced it, in fact, and has his platform out there for the world to see?

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) wrote the foreword of an upcoming book from the architect of Project 2025,

Former President Trump, who chose Vance as his running mate last week, has attempted to distance himself from the Heritage Foundation-backed plan after Democrats seized on it to mobilize voters.

In publishing materials for Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts' upcoming book, "Dawn's Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America," Vance said Roberts is presenting "new future for conservatism."

Vance also uses incendiary imagery while praising the book, writing, "We are now all realizing that it's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon."

"Chapter by chapter, it identifies institutions that conservatives need to build, others that we need to take back, and more still that are too corrupt to save: Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education, BlackRock, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, to name a few," the description reads.

"All these need to be dissolved if the American way of life is to be passed down to future generations."

I'll have to read that book. Allowing other people to characterize it is only an exercise in listening to potentially idiotic propaganda.

So... Progressive ideas warrant careful consideration and conservative ideas are to be ridiculed?

BS.

Not sure if you're talking to me, but the book I said I'd read, wouldn't be filled with progressive ideas.

Just a general statement, made after 2 Xanax and nitrous oxide.
