Namby pamby? Goldberg wants to launch directly into the fight against ObamaCare...

Jonah Goldberg: Going after NPR's funding now would be wrong move
daytondailynews.com

Take it from a former public television producer: PBS and NPR have spent decades target-hardening their budgetary bunkers. Busting them quickly would take an enormous amount of time and effort, with miniscule reward. Indeed, Democrats would love it if Republicans allowed themselves to be baited into what would essentially be a culture-war fight over public radio (the last “war on Big Bird” was a disaster for the GOP).

Meanwhile, Obama-Care’s roots are weak, it’s exposed and unpopular — and it represents a far greater threat to fiscal health. Forget chandeliers; going after NPR now would be like fixing a leaky faucet while your house is on fire. You can get around to that, after you’ve dealt with the crisis at hand.
