Why do you hate the idea of allowing health plans compete across state lines?
Why do you feel children should be made to go to public schools even if the public school in their
area is a total mess ( i.e. Philadelphia ).
If you are so concerned about freedom, why not let the people decide what is best for their lives?

Conservatives, why do you feel that lying about liberals is the only way to win arguments?

Liberals don't. I would like to see where some Liberal thinks that it is.

It's a straw-man argument where you are assigning this caricature of what you believe liberals to be, an intentional misrepresentation of people's positions, and attempting to assign it to everyone who disagrees with you. Straw-men only work when you are arguing with the voices in your head, not with real people.

Do you really need to ask why?

Education and healthcare are everything? Amazing, and I thought the world was more complex than two subjects. We should tell wikipedia that they can delete all the articles on every other topic

Yeah, that's called moving the goalposts. Saying everything, but you really meant...oh wait, but you really really meant...

Where are children made to go to public schools?

Around here, there are numerous private and parochial options. Or you can homeschool them.

I am not sure what you mean by religion? Are you talking about the government trying to sweep it under the rug and take it out of our lives completely?
