I must be sounding like a broken record |

But I find the political views of Natural News about healthcare so depressing (right-libertarian; against government running healthcare; pro-Ron and Rand Paul). I find them even more depressing when they poke their anti-government-provision, pro-'liberty' noses into parts of the world where governments can't or won't provide the most basic services, and parents, freed from such government 'tyranny', have the 'liberty' to watch one-eighth of their children die from malnutrition and preventable diseases.
A friend of mine actually worked as a nurse in Malawi for a while, and had some horrifying stories to tell.
I find it so upsetting that so-called progressives can endorse such attitudes.

1. That's because it's a religion. |

Religion is where you have so-called progressives endorsing ultra-right wing attitudes.

3. drives me crazy when friends of mine |

post stuff from them on the FB wall. I have to tell them that Natural News is complete bullshit. I've seen less posts lately so maybe the message is getting through
