BEWARE....THIS SLIPPERY SLOPE....

The insane verbiage coming from ALL who are viewed on FAUX news, are inciting, in my opinion, a civil war. Another "Man Coulter moment" can be viewed here:



Statistics now show that militia groups are on an incredible rise, gun sales have sky rocketed - all due to the venom spewed by the right. We have black congressmen receiving e-mails addressed to "nigga" so and so, swastikas being painted in obvious places. I feel that the "scare is on."

If I had super powers, I would choose one that would MAKE people sit down and listen to logic and reasoning, rather than "talking points" which have been created and meanings taken entirely out of context.

A major mistake I believe that has been made in this House Bill 3200 - is EVEN referring to consultations about end of life care. Why is it there? Most people realize that when a loved one has suffered a massive stroke, incurable disease, the moment will come when a choice of life support may have to be made. All physicians have had to meet with families and discuss options. Nothing is going to change. The clause was inserted into this bill in regards to guaranteeing payment to physicians. In the past doctor's have just billed such a consultation as that - a consultation fee. Someone, please find me one physician that entered the phrase on the invoice as "end of life consultation." Not hardly.

The scary part is that the right preys on the ignorant, it would appear. Those who listen to their neighbors or the uninformed and pass on the rumor as fact. I managed to avoid a confrontation at thegrandsons's swim party last night. I was chatting with an intelligent rethug...and he was trying to goad me into an argument, and I refused. I knew it would get heated and one of us might end up being booted out the door - plus it was neither the time nor the place. I like this person, but we have inherently been on opposite sides of the political spectrum for eons.

Now that we have seen the one man who attended Obama's town hall forum, wearing a gun...I fear that more guns will be apparent at these events, and some idiot will end up firing that weapon. I fear for our President's life and well-being, going before some of these whackjobs.

I wish I had a solution to these problems, but as for the violent tendencies coming forth...it is not all about health care - it is about having a black POTUS, plain and simple. Some people will NEVER get over that hurdle. They will never accept the fact that our Commander in Chief is black and he is our leader. Irregardless of the fact that he is more intelligent than those bigots/racists - there is still that mentality that he is not good enough. I beg to differ.

Our president has handled the mess (putting it nicely) which he inherited in a coordinated and methodical manner. Considering decisions had to be made immediately upon his taking the oath of office - I doubt anyone else could have handled it as well. Will all the decisions made be great ones...I doubt it. But this is a work in progress, and we have to give it a chance.

Later....................(I'm pissed)!

NO!!!! SHE'S NOT ON MY FACEBOOK....

......and even if I wanted to nibshit into her world - No Fricking Way!!! Why can't Sarah Palin just GO AWAY??? Her latest entry (thanks CNN):

"Such tactics diminish our nation's civil discourse which we need now more than ever because the fine print in this outrageous health care proposal must be understood clearly and not get lost in conscientious voters' passion to want to make elected officials hear what we are saying," Palin wrote. "Let's not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us."

Over this past weekend, there were a couple of so-called Palin entries, one referring to Obama's "death panel" and such. Past events tell us, she did NOT write these entries. She speaks in such a word-salad format, that would be impossible. the next unintelligent entry - that will be hers.

The recent town hall disruptions are even encouraged by the like of John Boehner, the forever orange Ohio representative. So many, on the Sunday morning news shows (all Rethugs), see nothing wrong with these acts, going so far as to hint these are made up happenings, all a spin of the liberal machine.

I have a serious problem with those now, who are making calls to the Congressmen and Senators, stating that if they cannot feel free to use their first amendment rights - they will feel the wrath of their second amendment rights.

I have said in the past, the right is fueling a civil war of sorts. they are encouraging the racist remarks and fabricating stories to shoot down a decent health reform. I say ban all lobbyists - period. The HMO's and key officers have been grooming the right for this moment. Would an investigation into gifts and kickbacks help?? In my book - yes. Would this ever happen - no fricking way!

I am mad and have had my fill of all this bullshit.

The rethugs will perpetuate the lies - 1. that there is a "death panel" and euthanasia is part of the package. 2. that illegal aliens are granted the same treatment as American citizens. 3. that all will be forced onto a government health package. 4. that the elderly and disabled will lose their Medicare...and on and on.

I'm sure Palin has NOT read the bill, as it is written now. I'm sure Palin has no clue, as to how the proposed bill will be finessed once making it through the process. I'm sure Palin will never have a grasp on reality, till she pulls her head out of her ass.

I've vented...now back to my book.....

Interesting reading - a MUST read actually...

With the massive bailouts of our financial markets, presumed inflation and uncertainty, you really need to read this article: Better Heath Care At Lower Cost For EVery American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, which is the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries.

I saw that a couple other blog sites cited this article and was floored with another McCain stupidity.

After reading this article McCain is literally saying this plan will perform as well as the financial markets!! DUH!?!?

We are going to face some major, scary times in the near future and possibly years to come - with the strain on our nerves and anxiety, health care is going to be needed.
