The Emperor's Clothes

Kevin Drum nails it talking about the health care mandate, The Emperor's Clothes "But you can't just say this, even though it's plainly true. You have to pretend to take conservative arguments about this seriously. You have to write detailed responses, complete with quotes from law professors and health experts. You have to pretend that this is an actual issue, not just a handy attack point. And so we all spend mountains of time in a sort of pundit fantasyland where we all agree to talk about stuff that we all know nobody truly cares about."

And here is a refutation of an anti-health care reform argument, A Health Reform Critic Flunks Math.
