For people demanding the ACA be scrapped because of initial glitches, know your history.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

This country was rife with initial glitches.

For the first 15 years of the United States' existence, it had a constitution called the Articles of Confederation. It was a disaster. It didn't work. It took a while to fix.

You could argue that even after then, glitches remained by the Constitution allowing slavery and not counting persons held as slaves as full human beings. Or not counting Native Americans. Or not guaranteeing women the right to vote. Or allowing state legislatures to choose Senators instead of the people. Those were glitches that over time needed fixing. Arguably there are still glitches to be worked out.

Everything, and I mean everything, begins with glitches. You ever make pancakes? You know how the first batch are often runny and misformed?

All these people hanging teabags from their tri-cornered hats and talking about how much they love history and the constitution, yet they don't actually know jack shit about history if they are honest with themselves.

1. All the teabaggers know is what Koch told them.

They'd fail a 3rd-grade-level history test on their own. Ignorant, hateful, DANGEROUS bastards, the whole lot.

2. If you oppose it (and republicans uinversally do), you use any argument that presents itself.

I suppose those who opposed the creation of an independent country used the flaws of the Articles of Confederation as justification as to why a new country was a bad idea.

3. They should have just gone back to George III and said, "I'm sorry."

Monarchies rock!

4. Also...

Before the 'revolution' there were a significant number of 'conservatives' that opposed starting a war with Britain because of their own self interest.

Even before the American revolution -conservatives were a problem due to their resistance to change.
