I never said I was at a protest. I was at a town hall. The only protest I have ever been to was a union march to protest unfair treatment. I have seen elected officials refuse to take questions that the answers reflected unfavorably for the passage of the healthcare bill. This is disheartening because it is as though the Democrats are refusing to listen to the people. They seem to have a goal and an agenda that they are going to do no matter what the people want.
You are acting like the Obama administration has got troops rounding up these protesters. You said you where at the protest. That means there are protests so the debate is alive and kicking even though most anti healthcare protesters are not in the debate. They are away with the fairies talking about how healthcare equals totalitarian tyranny and the prelude to death camps. Sheer lunacy.
Western Europe and the UK has universal healthcare and we are not tyrannies. Far from it.
You can debate the pros and cons of a public option but saying Obamas reforms are a slippery slope towards the gulag is just utter nonsense.
I don't know why any of this nonsensical shit is gaining any traction. The American right is in meltdown but a very scary meltdown that could see violence on the streets and Palin as the next president. Scary shit
What a nutter, Obama hasn't been in power for long and they are acting like they have been under a tyrannical fascistic regime for decades. So he's a libertarian and doesn't believe in taxation, why wasn't he protesting when he was taxed to pay for the war in Iraq?
Anyway America is a democracy, if you are a libertarian and the libertarian candidate loses the election you have to accept that the winner of the election will implement certain policies you disagree with.
The answer is to vote Obama out not hint at a desire for violent revolution barely a year into his administration. Glenn Beck and Fox have a lot to answer for.
I stand corrected. I voted for Obama, and while I'm very disappointed so far, I look back and, considering the alternative, still believe I made the best choice at that time. It's so disturbing to see that he is just a tool, like Bush and Clinton before him.
Bring it and find out.
