Hey, what’s the problem with real world consequences to your bad ideas when you’re a smug, snarky, sanctimonious ideologue? Nothing! If you’ve just killed the kids-only insurance market, that must be the insurance companies’ fault – because apparently their assets are a bottomless public good, meant to be dispersed with Santa-like abandon. Oh, wait a minute – if Santa were an insurer, Naughty would be an undeniable pre-existing condition.

Time to remember the wisdom of CS Lewis: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

What I loathe most about the left is how fundamentally immoral they are, and how willing to sacrifice real human beings on the altar of their pretentions.
