GOP Health Care Plan Postcard from Zazzle.com

Gotta love the GOP, they're so fond of simple slogans. Remember their answer to all our energy problems: "Drill, Baby, Drill?" All righty then, we thought we'd help them out with a simple way to explain their plan for health care: Just DIE, Baby, DIE! After all, they cheered on prime-time TV over the thought of an unemployed, 30-year-old man dying because he had no insurance. Oh sure, he "choose" not to buy it, therefore I guess in their tiny little minds, he "deserved" to die. The GOP/TP: such great "deciders" of who deserves to live or die. (They also think leading the nation's record on executions is cool. Even if that includes executing innocent people). What are they, a death cult?

A "Cult of Ignorance" in the US - Asimov quote updated.

I saw this quote going around, and posted it on Facebook:

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" - Isaac Asimov, column in Newsweek (21 January 1980)

And one of my friends commented:

Interesting. And especially who said it. Also, true. Is the celebration of ignorance just laziness, or what? (don't worry, I'm being rhetorical ; )

To which I replied:

Good rhetorical question ;) I think Asimov nailed it with the part about the flase notion of democracy. Ya know, one thing the Tbaggers hate about us 'liberal elitist scum' is that they think we think we're better than them (because among other things, we're smarter and better educated). Well, any normal person would use such feelings of envy as motivation to better themselves. But the tbaggers use it as an excuse to lash out and destroy everything good they can get their hands, to drag everything down to their level. They remind me of the Morlocks in Huxley's Brave New World.

Okay, I got the Morlocks wrong. They were from H.G.Wells's The Time Machine. Anyway, when I Googled the term to check which novel they came from, this little gem came up:

E - er's race of
L - little
O - odd looking cattle
I - inevitably to be eaten by the...
M - monsterous creatures
O - of the underground
R - ruling the world
L - like a species
O - of
C - crazy
K - killer mole/apes in
S - suprimeity.

Hmm, ring any bells? Just think ... tonight's GOTP debate was highlighted by audience applauding for the idea that someone without health insurance could be left to die in a coma. Crazy Killer mole/apes they are. Let's hope - and work - to make sure they NEVER acheive "supremeity."
