Some Questions...

Questions are both the pleasure and the curse of my life. Although they won't LEAVE ME ALONE, and i sometimes feel that my life would be much happier if i had more questions than answers, instead of the other way round, they are also what prompts me to learn new things, which is one of my greatest joys.

So these are some questions that have been bugging me between the beginning of the Obama administration and now...

Why is it, that when Bush started the whole bail-out thing it was good capitalism, but when Obama continued it, it was socialism. Can anyone answer that question for me?

How can we possibly call ourselves a Christian nation when we give tax breaks to the rich to buy more shit while when we have the inevitable budget cuts they wind up affecting the poorest of us and those most in need? You know... the ones that Christ SPECIFICALLY TOLD US TO TAKE CARE OF.

And the big one occurred to me today. Listening to these morons argue against "socialized medicine", meaning medical care for the poor... the so-called "public option"... leads me to wonder. When these people get old, as they invariably will, and lose their health insurance either because of loss of a job or because they can't afford it anymore... are they going to turn down medicare? That's socialized medicine, you know. So you people... you IDIOTS who speak without thinking... are you going to pass on medicare because you're so against socialized medicine? And i don't want to see you at my libraries anymore, either. That's socialized information, which you obviously want no part of. And forget calling my socialized assistance organizations when you're getting robbed or raped or your house is burning down (that's the police and fire department, in case you're wondering.)

And related to that. All of this nonsense that i've heard about Obama's "death panels". Do you honestly think that your insurance company doesn't have a panel to decide who's worth care and who's not? THAT'S ESSENTIALLY A DEATH PANEL, MY IGNORANT, IDIOTIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS, for Christ's own sweet sake.

Oh, FYI... the reason that your republican representatives have absolutely NO QUALMS about tricking you and lying to you about the "public" health care option so that you don't support it is because THEY HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! Our tax dollars pay for every bit of their health care. Funny how none of them are turning down their OWN version of socialized medicine, isn't it? The same reason that they cut funds to public schools (their kids all go private) and they feel perfectly okay pandering to the NRA at the cost of our lives and the lives of our kids (they all live in guarded, gated communities and work in buildings surrounded by guards and metal detectors). Please, my brothers and sisters, get your proverbial heads out of your collective asses and STOP ALLOWING THESE PEOPLE TO TRICK YOU!

Please.

Peace.
