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:
And one of my friends commented:
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 ofHmm, 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."

O - odd looking cattle

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.

Enjoy Your Weekend? t-shirt from BoldlyLiberal* at Zazzle.com
Enjoy Your Weekend? t-shirt from Zazzle.com
The working-person icon Rosie the Riveter reminds of just one of the many benefits the trade unions have brought us. Things we take for granted - like paid sick leave, workplace safety, sane working hours, and many more. And all of these are in danger in the funneling of power into the hands of the corporations. So take a moment right now to remember what collective bargaining has saved for us, and stand up for the union!

Man Dies of Toothache
Man Dies of Toothache
In order to understand the absolute RAGE I feel at this moment, you should, first, visit the above link and read about 24-year-old Kyle Willis who died of a tooth infection because he did not have the money he needed for the antibiotic.
Second, read the blog below from Michelle Makin and all the things the conservatives are doing to blame the dead gentleman for his own death.
ObamaCare Fable
I don't care what other options he had. HE DIED BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD HIM OF THOSE OPTIONS. He died because the GOP will not let government do its job. Sick people should NOT have to run around to various organizations trying to figure out how to pay for their illness. They should go to the doctor or dentist and it gets taken care of, PERIOD!
I DO NOT CARE IF HE COULD GET IT FOR FREE FROM A CHURCH, A CHARITY OR WHEREVER. HIS DENTIST or DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SAY "HERE, TAKE THIS AND LIVE".
By the way, tax-phobic GOPers should note, his daughter will probably cost taxpayers a ton of money till she is grown, since her father will not be there to even provide food or lodging. Kyle Willis' death is PROOF that we need universal health coverage. If we had it, he would be alive. If he lived in Europe, he would be alive. I do NOT care what taxes they pay in the EU, I care that they do not die, like we do, to save some fat-cat on his taxes! If the GOP wants to continue to call itself the "Party of Life", they had better get off their elephants and pay taxes so people can live!
From now on, everytime I donate to a Democrat or to a charity, I will pick ONE corporation which trades on Wall Street, and email them. My email will say, roughly, "I donated here instead of buying your product, because no one will take my tax money to fix the problems of the poor and middle class." I wonder what would happen if enough people did that and Wall Street corporations began to see the money they were losing? Maybe we can get a law passed to let their stockholders know how much money is NOT being spent to buy their product or service. And, maybe, other Kyle Willis' will live to see their daughters grow up.
When I vote in 2012, I will do so in Kyle Willis' memory.

Jefferson Quote t-shirt from BoldlyLiberal* at Zazzle.com
Jefferson Quote t-shirt from Zazzle.com
"I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government in a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." This quote from Thomas Jefferson, founder and third President of the United States, is so pertinent now that we're seeing the transformation of corporations into "super-persons." Jefferson's hope is a long way from being realized, so let's get busy!
