How Silly of Me

The radical right applies to two groups; Christians and the GOP. And they're all driving me nuts. But then again most radicals are involved in both groups. And anyone who's against them is drinking the Obama cool-aid. Seriously? Is that the best you can come up with? Most people who follow Obama are for helping people and all of a sudden that's a bad thing? Are you kidding me? Isn't that was Jesus was all for but all of a sudden the government shouldn't do it? Oh yeah, I forgot, Obama's a 'Muslim' so he can't be for that. How silly of me.

But are you trying to tell me that there's enough rich churches out there that can provide food stamps, section 8 housing, insurance for the millions that have no insurance and countless other services? I find that hard to believe. They'd run out of money so fast their heads would spin. Seeing as the top 20% of this country owns 93% of the wealth there's no way they'd have enough money. So one would think that raising taxes would be a good idea so that the government could pay for these services. Oh yeah, I forgot, raising taxes on the rich is a bad idea because they're the 'job makers' in this country. How silly of me.

I'm so tired of these trolls. None of them can every back their arguments up, ever. It's so pathetic. And they just continue to spout off whatever they heard on Faux News. Oh yeah, I forgot, they're a 'reliable' news source and they'd never lie about anything. How silly of me.

Apparently the debt is all Obama's fault. Found that out today too. And the people who follow him will get the 'grief' they're due from following him because he's causing so much of it apparently? He's caused me so much 'grief' I'm quaking in my boots. But some how the debt isn't Bush's fault at all even though he caused millions of people a lot more grief that Obama has. Oh yeah, I forgot, Bush is the 'golden child' and wouldn't of ever done anything like that. How silly of me.

And then there's the Affordable Healthcare Act. Apparently that's a bad thing too. They seem to forget how awesome our current system is:
     You have to love watching sick people in big cities who don't have health insurance get discharged from the hospital before they're treated. Or be stuck in the ER for a week before the hospital will bother to admit them.
     And there's the health insurance companies who refuse to pay for stuff too that would save someones life. And they use the stupidest reasons to drop someone from their policy just so that they don't have to pay for whatever procedure that person needed done. And I know a little girl with Downs Syndrome that wouldn't have health insurance if it wasn't for the government. If the government doesn't step in and fix it who will? How are people supposed to be able to stand up to insurance companies to get the coverage that they need for preexisting conditions if the government won't do it?
     Why do so many Americans leave the country to get health procedures done in India or Costa Rica? It's because healthcare is cheaper over there and they still get the same quality of care. And with so much money being cut to free healthcare clinics where are people supposed to go? Why does the US have the highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation even though we have the best medical infrastructure in the world? Why do people in our country live shorter lives than the people in other industrialized nations? Why does the US rank 37th in healthcare out of 190 nations? Why does an inhaler cost $0.05 in Cuba but cost $120 in America?

So why shouldn't the government do it? Oh yeah, I forgot, it's called 'socialism' and it will 'enslave us all'. How silly of me.

    Hi UP,
    I love your 'sarcasm' and must say you are completely right. I couldn't have said it better.

    BTW I like your blog a lot and when I have time I am going to scroll completely through it.
    I will let you know what I specifically like.

    I love it. They want government so big that it can replace local elected officials such as in Michigan.

    Small Government, that is just BS. They want gigantic government. The one that tells people what to think, who to hate, (and they do want hate). They want no freedom of association as outlined in the first amendment. (Unions, and any place of worship that isn't their idea of what should be.)

    Thanks, I'm glad you like it :]

    That is so true Mio. They're pretending that they want small government while pulling the rug out from under the middle class.

    When I was a kid, I was taught "We the people" are the government. Ronnie Raygun changed that and made our government our enemy. How silly of me to think differently!

    I am so glad you are writing more. Great post!!!

    Yeah I don't like Reagan at all. And it is definitely "We the People" and not "We the corporations"! I really wish the supreme court hadn't ruled in favor of that!

    Thanks, I'm probably going to try and write more since this place is a troll free space so far and I don't have to deal with their crap!
