Broccoli and Health Care

If the Supreme court strikes down the Health Care Act later this month, a stupid remark by a buffoonish Antonin Scalia may have much to do with it.   The justice reduced the argument by the solicitor general to a platitude.  "If the government can force you to buy health insurance, then it can conceivably force you to buy broccoli".   Of course all good conservatives hate broccoli, because all good liberals must love it.  The sheer stupidity of our national discourse boggles my mind.  Millions of people's health care is on the line and idiots worry about being forced to eat vegetables.  I realize that broccoli  is just a proxy for the hatred the Republican base has  for a black president, but I wish they would just forget the veg and just let their inner racist out for everyone to see.
