Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism?
(Unless Obama is in the White House)
On the white house blog:
Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things."
To try and discredit dissent of their idea of “health care reform” (which few want) they used a quote used in the defense of soldiers who fired on civilians:
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence. John Adams, 'Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials,' December 1770
I do think that the smartest minds in the country are far, far, away from Washington DC. Certainly, the White House is currently chock full of dimwits.
