Hey Y'all! Just thought I would inform you on the "great evil" that was signed into American law on Tuesday. This evil, is mandatory health insurance, and increased medicaid for the 30-45 million uninsured, less fortunate citizens of the USA.
Incase you haven't heard, this bill will apparently "sponsor abortions" and consist of a death squad on whether someone dies or not, a death council if you wish. Democrats, and anyone close to the centre of the political spectrum is blind to Obama's deceitfulness. Only conservative Republicans and Fox News can see the truth for what it is....
I think that is my best Glenn Beck/ Rush Limbaugh/ Sarah Palin/ Ann Coulter/ Republican Congressman Randy Neugebauer impression I can do. If you didn't hear, Randy Neugebauer yelled "It's a baby killer" during Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. defended his position on the health care legislation in congress. Which is utterly ridiculous, because the legislation clearly states that no federal money will go towards abortions. What was even more insane about that comment was that he still didn't realize he was wrong when he was "apologizing".
"In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase 'it's a baby killer' in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership," Neugebauer said in a statement released by his office. "While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself.
"I have apologized to Mr. Stupak and also apologize to my colleagues for the manner in which I expressed my disappointment about the bill. The House Chamber is a place of decorum and respect. The timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate." - Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R.
Public healthcare is not the devil. If you are sick, it insures that you do not go bankrupt, or be denied coverage for being sick. It isn't even true public healthcare, it is a mix between private and public coverage, but still greater on the private side. This legislation covers the needy, and desparate in society. Who is one to say that someone less fortunate has to die to a treatable ailment or illness? I feel for the weak, and misinformed that the GOP is cruely manipulating. This law is good for America. Those who can afford it can still obtain the highest form of health treatment if they can afford it, and those who cannot afford such insurance are still covered by a basic health plan.
As for the Sarah Palin comment on how this will lead to a sort of Death Panel, how does anything she say get attention? I have yet to see examples of her showing actual intelligence, or competence. These comments have no basis, and she even admits to travelling to the Yukon for healthcare when she was younger because what was offered in Alaska was not enough. These notions of death panels are like the soup nazi from Seinfeld, "NO LIFE FOR YOU!" And this woman could have been in the second highest position in America.
Finally, Fox News political analyst, Ann Coulter, is currently in the midst of a 3 Canadian University tour. First off, I whole-heartedly defend her rights to say what she said. Freedom of speech is the very basis of true democracy, but I strongly disagree with what she said. Ann Coulter said that all muslims are terrorists, and should not be able to fly on airplanes, to fly a magic carpet instead. When an offended muslim student asked her about those muslims who cannot fly a magic carpet (showing great humour despite the circumstance) Coulter responded by saying "then take a camel". I know that Coulter is trying to be outrageous, and I am not one for being p.c myself, but there is a difference between sharing your opinion freely, and being racist, and ignorant.
Being on the conservative side of the spectrum is getting a little difficult lately, when all you hear is this garbage from all directions. What ever happened to realism, the thoughts of a balanced budget, and the gradual change to direct the nation in a responsible, clear-headed manner? The very foundations of the GOP, and Conservative parties in Canada. How did we forget that we do not need to spend extravagent amounts of money to pull out of a recession? The wisdom to raise taxes during the good times, to cover the basic needs during the bad, and lower taxes in the bad times to stimulate spending and investment. Will someone with some real wisdom, and backbone to stand up to special interest groups to do so? I can only hope.
Yours truly,
