Get It Right Or Shut Up!

Daily Agitator

I spend a lot of time reading and such and I come across stuff that I just cannot let go of for any reason and this letter to Pelosi is one of those BS things that morons do.

I came across a site known as Thoughts Of A Conservative Christian…is there any other kind?….this guy is an attorney…you know those ambulance chasing bottom feeders….well he is chastising Pelosi for being a liberal and her pushing of health reform….he also goes on and says that she and her husband are millionaires….I found that humorous for name one in Washington that is not a millionaire….anywayt he goes on and I quote:

You obviously haven’t read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCullough’s book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.

This is just sad….for one Marx did not come to the forefront of political and economical thought until around 1848….the country was close to a hundred years old by then….that one paragraph eliminates this person as a learned person…instead lumps him in with the rest of the low IQ voters….

This “christian”  goes in his letter to Pelosi:

I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husband’s canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.

Not only is this NOT christian-like, but he is spreading hate through the name calling…..is this guy truly an attorney?

I always HATE to see an American with this much hate allowed to spread it….but unlike this idiot I have read the Constitution and he has a legitimate right to speak his mind….Sad that we have these people on the right and in saying that I am reminded of a quote by John Stuart Mill:

Not all conservatives are stupid, but most stupid people are conservative.

Personal Thought On Health Reform

We have all heard the figures being thrown around about the uninsured people in the US…there maybe a difference in the total number, but NO one can argue that the system is sound….well, with the exception of anyone making profit off the existing one…..and I have heard some on the Right saying that there is a need for health reform…..then why is it so abhorrent that there is the possibility for reform?

I understand the desire to keep the deficit down….or to keep the insurance profit margins….or to protect the free market….but……doing nothing as some have suggested is not a free market approach….why?  insurance companies are setting fees, services, etc and they have very little competition, if any…..

Think about this…we bailout a numerous amount of banks with NO control…they lost money we gave them money and now they are not it again….answer?…..we needed to get some skin in the bailout…if they took cash then we got 20-30% of their profits and we then could have used that to fund stuff like healthcare…after all they made enough on your money to pay huge bonuses to the boneheads that damn near destroyed the economic system….why not get something for out cash…the banks would not have given free money to ANYONE!

Sorry, that was a double comment or thought health care and banks….oops…my bad!

All I am saying is to those so concerned about the deficit and government spending, there was away to silence their concern but instead we give the guys a free ride to wealth without the consequences of bad judgment……

There is more……the latest polls show that the American people think the public option is a good idea, regardless of what is said by the pundits on the Hill.  We elected these guys and gals to do our bidding but that is not what is happening….take for instance this report by Reuters:

Health insurers, drugmakers and other companies expect U.S. Senate lawmakers to soften the blow from health reform legislation narrowly passed by the House of Representatives that calls for a greater government role in the industry.Pharmaceutical and insurance sector stocks were all in positive territory in line with the overall market on Monday, following the approval of the House bill late Saturday calling for a public insurance option and a government role in drug prices under Medicare.

Let me see, the Senate is where the industry has put their money to defeat health reform and it looks like it was money well spent….
