It chafes me a bit, as I dislike politics and the lies and misleading attitudes contained within, but lately I can’t avoid it.
The reaction to the Health Care bill is childish, and completely unworthy of attempts to justify it.
This is not to say I agree with all aspects the Health Care bill, this is not to say that I support it as-is, this is to say just this: to those that disagree with it, stop acting like the ever-feared terrorists you claim to hate so much. Some of you have fought against terroristic tactics, and now you employ them?
Assholes, the lot of you — calling supporters of this Health Care bill “baby-killers”, calling the black members of the government who participated “niggers”, calling homosexual members “faggots”, mailing powders to offices, calling in threats… You make me sick, and display all the worst aspects of humanity.
We have a public forum and discussion about these things, and when you have lost the battle you shut the hell up and wait for another chance.
And on that topic, just because you have your beliefs doesn’t mean someone who holds other beliefs is inferior.
You claim to hold our democratic-flavored process in high regard, until you don’t get your way.
And on the other side, those who worked so hard to get this Health Care bill through: quit gloating already. Gawddammit, things are difficult enough because they don’t want to give up the fight, and you start pissing gasoline on the fire?
This economy has a long fucking way to go to recover, all of us have to just buckle down and keep working to make it better. The collective infighting and bickering and childishness isn’t helping one little bit. All y’all: shut the hell up and move on to the next topic.
And news media outlets? Please start covering other news. Our fucking Health Care stuff is not the only thing going on in the world, when six billion people all over the place doing things all the damn time. Quit covering the same six stories over and over, and quit trying to win the argument about Health Care. Let’s find out what’s going on elsewhere on this spinning ball of mud.
I’ll get back to regular posts when life gets a little more even-keeled for me. I just got tired of remaining silent on this.
The straw that broke the camel’s back? Someone told me Bush Jr. was the best president we ever had.
And now, I’m going back to lurking on the Internets.
Skåll!!!
