Syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker writes that President Obama's suggestion that the federal health reform law is like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 "has been perpetuated by countless talk-show hosts and their guests." She argues, "Civil rights activists who were beaten, bloodied and killed in the struggle to have a voice were nothing like the bureaucrats and politicians who insist that the [overhaul] is a comparable victory," adding, "The Civil Rights Act was a monument to freedom and human dignity. Health care reform is ... something else."
