Apart from from the health care rationing that Obamacare would foster on American citizens, I argue too that the questionable morality of the self-selected administrators of the project would drive policy decisions in directions that violate traditional norms. “Do you really want people like Hillary Clinton or Barbara Boxer making your health care decisions?” I ask. Sound alarmist? Read the reasoning behind Clinton’s praise of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal below and you will see that the goal is much broader than many advocates are letting on.

Press Statement – Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
December 18, 2010
This is a historic step forward for all Americans, a step toward a more perfect union and a more perfect reflection of our core values. As the President and I have repeatedly said, we are committed to universal standards abroad and here at home. Our progress on equality here strengthens our advocacy for human dignity everywhere.
