RUSH: Debra Saunders in the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> today has an excellent point. Arnold Schwarzenegger\u2019s plan out there to give everybody in California everything, apparently. In fact grab audio sound bite number ten. Listen to this. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger exhibiting and illustrating his new centrism, and you tell me what this sounds like.<\/line>SCHWARZENEGGER: We hear so much about climate change. One area where we definitely need the climate to change is the national government\u2019s attitude about global warming. (Applause.) They would not act. So California did. California has taken the leadership in moving the entire country beyond debate and denial, to action. As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. So I ask you to appropriate the funds to implement this global warming legislation so that we can become part of the world market that is already trading credits for the reduction of greenhouse gases.<\/line>RUSH: Okay, so that\u2019s the new centrism out there. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. The length and breadth of his proposals, both in his campaign and his State of the Union speech from which this latest sound bite was culled, ?We\u2019re going to borrow more.? I remember when Arnold ran it was, ?We gotta put this state\u2019s fiscal circumstance back in order. We are spending money we don\u2019t have, we are borrowing money.? Everything\u2019s changed now. ?We\u2019re going to start borrowing more money in California. We\u2019re going to raise taxes in California. Everybody\u2019s going to get health care. We\u2019re going to start trading pollution credits and greenhouse gas credits. We are going to do whatever it takes to lead this country in the right direction of global warming.? This is the new centrism. <\/line>As I told you, his philosophy is we take the best of conservatism, the best of liberalism, and form a new centrist movement or a new centrism, and by definition, if something isn\u2019t conservative it\u2019s going to be liberal. This doesn\u2019t sound like centrism to me. It sounds like it\u2019s right out of the liberal playbook. This is no different than what Greenpeace could say if they had somebody that was the governor of California. Another thing, the health care for illegal immigrants and their children. Debra Saunders says, ?If it?s wrong for illegal immigrants to have drivers\u2019 licenses, why should the state provide them with health care? That\u2019s the conundrum that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will have to address as, after vetoing bills to allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers\u2019 licenses, he pushes his plan to provide health care to all Californians, including illegal immigrants. First, let me say that Schwarzenegger deserves praise for attempting to tackle the thorny and thankless task of trying to provide health care for the 4.8 million Californians who lack health care at any given time. (You\u2019ve seen the number 6.5 million, but that\u2019s for people who, according to the state, have lacked coverage ?at some point? last year.) Also, Schwarzenegger is right to mandate that all Californians obtain health coverage.?<\/line>But if it\u2019s wrong for illegal immigrants to have driver\u2019s licenses, why is it perfectly fine to provide them with health care? Seems a bit of a contradiction. It\u2019s an excellent question. Well, I know. One of my biggest problems, folks, is that I sometimes end up mired in logic in a country where logic is deemed offensive. You can really offend somebody by being logical, because they have no retort for it so they consider it a personal attack when you are logical. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
