The GOP Solution To Health Care Costs: Let Him Die!

by Dick Mac

"These are the same people who, two thousand years ago, cheered as the lions ate the Christians," Alan Grayson.

He goes on to say that the people who proclaim they are pro-life (that is, Republicans) are really pro-death.

Last week they cheered when it was announced that Texas Governor Rick Perry has signed the death warrants of more than two score of convicted criminals.

They cheered.

Republicans cheered at the idea that by killing a killer we somehow are not killers. Republicans fail to see that killing a criminal is sinking to his level, to become him.

It gets worse.

This week, collected Republicans cheered at the notion that Americans without health care should be let to die.

Just leave them to die, like a wounded human in the gutter, on the road to Jerusalem.

The only hope that the uninsured have in our brave new America, is that a Samaritan, a person so reviled by the majority that he lives in poverty and anguish, will stop, pick-up the wounded man in the road, and restore him to health.

Liberals are today's Samaritans: both paying taxes to save society and working to restore economic justice to America. Republicans are the Romans, exploiting all around them and laughing at the results.

Alan Grayson discussed the most recent Republican display of inhumanity with Keith Olermann:

What's The Proper Angle For A Proper Teabagging

by Dick Mac

As you can see, I have finally found my favorite image of teabagging: an average guy doing the Wall Street bull in public.

It's a pretty accurate image of the relationship between American citizens and the so-called "free-market." I think it also accurately depicts the people who claim the Boston Tea Party heritage as their own: white folks on their backs waiting to service the billionaires who have them screaming about on race, sex, and personal freedom, instead of the pillaging of the American marketplace.

These people, of course, have no idea what they are talking about, so a big mouthful of raw, living Rocky Mountain oysters is the perfect use of their mouths. It's hard to know what these people want beyond things like "family values" and "conservatism"; neither of which they really care about. I know they want to limit personal freedom and liberty, and they want BP to be free of the shackles of regulation, and they want all the non-whites stopped at the border, and they want their taxes cut (even though there taxes are the lowest since 1950), and as they insert themselves into the government they say they want to eliminate government.

I know it all sounds like treason, because it is, but they have the world's largest media outlet protecting them, so they can do whatever they want. Since the majority of law enforcement agents are members of this brigand - against their own best interests - we will be hard-pressed to get any protection from them when the gun play starts.

My favorite new teabagger is a woman who really doesn't have any room in her big mouth for the bull's testicles, because she has her foot firmly planted there.

From calling for the assassination of a sitting United States Senator to advocating the forced pregnancy of victims of rape and incest, Sharron Angle belongs either in prison or in a mental hospital; but, she is the Republican nominee for a US Senate seat from Nevada.

So, this Sharron Angle person was interviewed by a Nevada television station and the interview was picked-up by Keith Olbermann for his Countdown show. Olbermann dubbed Angle The Worst Person In The World that day:



I think she might be WORSE than the worst person in the world.

Keith Olberman Commentary on Gay Marriage, and Proposition 8 in California

by DM

Although I have posted this and commented on this elsewhere on the Internet, it would be a dereliction of duty if I failed to post this here:



Only an immoral, ignorant boob would oppose the right of homosexuals to marry.

The Rabbi Speaks Of Lipstick

Yesterday's posting at The Rabbi Report discusses the charges of "sexism" levelled against Barack Obabma for his lipstick remark. The Rabbi provides a nice analysis and points out the reality that the remark is not sexist at all.

"Sexism" is prejudice or stereotyping against someone on the basis of their gender. Simply calling someone a bad word or insulting them is not sexist.

Barack Obama didn't say anything about Gov. Palin in the first place, and if he had, it was not sexist. But the important thing is that he wasn't talking about Sarah Palin.

The part of The Rabbi's post that I appreciate most is the inclusion of this news report from Keith Olbermann, at MSNBC:



"Apparently a rape joke is authentic McCain!" Well said, Mr. Olberman.
