step towards healthcare
it’s very nice to see a step in the right direction for healthcare in the us.
it’s not so very nice to see the conservative reaction to this. the best place to see the true colors of the right is by going to twitter and searching for the #tcot hashtag.
what you’ll find right now is pure hate and racism (aimed at rep. cao). it’s pretty amazing. there’s so much misinformation being spread on twitter about how this will change everyone’s taxes, how people will die and be sick and unemployed…a lot of hyperbole (pronounced hyper-bowl according to rep. boehner, whose nickname is now boner).
the right wants to rally and defeat the “liberal takeover” of healthcare. i feel like republicans are not used to not being in power, and they’ve had to sit and watch liberals take a stand against them for quite a while with all the nonsense that has occurred.
the difference is the liberals for the most part had something to rally about, while now the conservatives are just doing it for the sake of feeling super awesome. they love to brand themselves as hip and cool (great going with “teabaggers”) and take a few more stabs in the dark as the GOP dies off.
i keep seeing that this healthcare bill means surrendering all your rights and freedoms as an individual to the government and how wrong it is. i also keep seeing the ben franklin quote about those who give up freedom for protection deserve neither or however it goes being repeated.
…tell me again about the patriot act?
(c-span CAN be kind of exciting. who knew? can’t wait for the senate.)
this is from today. ridiculous.

Benjamin Franklin: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Benjamin Franklin: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Get it right Kylee.
That’s what I said about the patriot act.
