I've been trying my best to get my thoughts together and get a grasp on whats been happening regarding health care in this country and the constant bashing of Obama and how he's running the country. Even going as far as to write a few drafts on what I wanted to say (wasted a few pieces of paper doing it...) I have found myself getting very very very irritated by how some in this country have been acting. First I would like to address this whole "Obama is a Socialist/Nazi/Communist/Fascist/...who cares". I am 99.9% sure that the people who claim that he is one of those, if asked, couldn't explain them...idiots have a hard time defining different ''isms'' and other large words. Yes that's right, I called you IDIOTS because you are. Make up your minds, is he a commie? Nazi? because he can't be both, not to mention their spelling is atrocious (saw a guy with a sign that said "Obama is a Socilist"). Now, what makes Obama a socialist? Because he thinks all Americans should have access to affordable/good health care? What an evil evil man! How dare he treat people with compassion, that scum! Also, this whole ''death panel'' thing needs to stop, he isn't going to go out and kill anyone. This isn't Nazi Germany, so a euthanasia program is out of the question not to mention extremely outlandish and a scare tactic - Got it Sarah? Good, now shut your fucking mouth before you embarrass yourself further. Moving on, now what about those who are attending these town hall meetings only to yell and start fights with senators and such? Idiots as well. I saw one person stand up and talk about how the government needs to stay out of medicare. WHAT?? News flash moron Medicare is government run!! And if I can stay it works pretty well. Look, even though I think Obama is putting too many things on his plate at the moment- his heart is in a good place. Every citizen deserves health care and its the governments place to provide it to its people. France, Germany, England, Sweden, Netherlands, Canada and other countries all have single payer health care systems...yes their taxes are higher but I think the good out weighs the ''bad''.
My other beef is with the GOP- naturally. During the election and before the inauguration the GOP said that it was "looking forward to bipartisanship", that went out the window real quick. I seriously think that some Republicans are so upset that Barack beat McCain that they will do everything and anything to make him look bad and fail at whatever he tries to do- health care debate presently. Rush Limbaugh (who is doing a fantastic job acting like Joseph Goebbels), Sarah Palin, and faux news (among others) are doing their best to spread scare tactics throughout the U.S. (ooohh Obama and the democrats are gonna take your guns!! booga booga booga!!) and it says a lot about those who choose to feed with them.
In closing I would like to say that I hope those who buy into these fictitious, outlandish and disgusting scare tactics grow a brain and come to realize that Obama isn't the boogey man and has no intention of killing your grandma, stealing your children and eat them. Calm down, read a fucking dictionary and most importantly...THINK, if you're still capable of that.
