Englehart on the Stoop

Bob Englehart, of the Hartford Courant:

We don’t know yet what President Obama has given us, but it’s sure to cost us more money, be complex and make the health insurance companies richer at our expense. Oh, we’ll have single payer insurance someday, after Joe Lieberman has died of old age ….

…. I know, I sound like a socialist. I don’t care. I just want to simplify. That either makes me a simpleton, or a simple-ist. You conservatives, have at it. I can take your slings and arrows because I’m protected by the armor of certainty, every bit as thick as yours. Plus, I can do something you can’t. I can change my mind. And understand that I’m not so angry that I would stoop to send a GOP candidate to congress this year.

Englehart on the Constitution

Bob Englehart writes, for the Hartford Courant:

I’m not in favor of amending the Constitution for any reason. I guess that makes me a conservative. Oh, wait, the conservatives want to dump the 14th Amendment. Oh, right. I guess that makes me a liberal. Apparently, the conservatives think the Constitution is a living document and has to change to reflect modern life. Wait, that’s a liberal viewpoint. Maybe those are liberal conservatives we’re talking about. After all, they want all that changin’ thing ….
