Today's demonstrations in front of the Congresswoman
realize the RIGHT cannot spell, but beyond that... they were comparing this to socialism, and of course they tried to get a small fight going. Reality is that I have never seen so much hate for your fellow Americans than I saw today. This idea that we may be at the edge of something horrific was confirmed today.

They are afraid of commies... and the other. And they hate.

The pro health care had a couple signs with Teddy's visage. So yes, that is already there.

But what scares me, and yes it does, is the hate and the fear.

By the way, most of those folks have gubmint run health care, or at least the ones there today... yes they were Medicare age... which goes to show...

What I got I don't wanna share damn it!

Sad, that as a country we have gotten here, to another point of decision. Oh and I do expect to see a more radical plan than we ever did expect before... for the same reason Civil Rights was finally passed...

Oh and when it passes, better it be as radical as I expect it to be... and these commie fearing Muricans ... BITE ME.

Health care is a civil right...

1. I honestly think
that a lot of people against health care reform are against it because they don't want their tax dollars to pay for the health care of people they consider to undesirable. The poor, minorities, gays, foreign born, and other "undesirables". They don't care how bad they have it, as long as they know someone else has it worse. They just want some reason to feel superior to other people, denying help to others so that they can say "I have something you don't, this makes me a better person". Some of these protesters would be happy living in a cardboard box, with nothing to eat except a rat roasted over a trash fire, if they could keep the guy in the next box over from getting a rat.

2. True, but what is the extent they are willing to go to?
That is what worries me
