I read a short article in the Free Press today titled, "Rally Bubbles with Anger." I just had to respond. I sent it to the Free Press so hopefully if you don't read it here, you will read it there. I just continue to be amazed by the utter stupidity of the American people. I am not saying that you have to agree with everything any leader tries to do, but to be so blindly caught up in the froth that is spewing is just unconscionable. I mean let's pause and reflect and not just jump into the fray because you're frustrated by the state you find yourself in. When you follow blindly you don't know where you are going to end up, so open your eyes, listen to all sides, read and analyze then decide. It isn't easy, it takes time, but it is better to be informed than to be told, it is better to make up your own mind than to let someone else tell you what to think. It is much better to wait and see than to forge ahead and be wrong because you didn't have all the facts. Iraq?
Here is my letter to the editor:
I am going to try to remain very calm so that I can respond to this article with sanity and intelligence. My first question is, how exactly are we being held hostage with taxes and socialism? What new taxes have been raised since President Obama took office? Socialism; a social system in which the producers possess both political power and the means of producing and distributing goods. Public Education, The Food and Drug Administration, Social Security, The United States Post Office, The Armed Forces, The Highway Commission, The Police Department, The Fire Department, The Transportation Department, The Department of Parks and Recreation, just a few of the things produced and distributed by our government. "The people wore placards that bore messages like, Obama is a commie." Why is Obama a commie? How is he supporting the doctrines of communism? Because he doesn't think only the wealthy and privileged should have access to quality health care? Is that saying that he is in favor of a classless society? "Put Congress on Obamacare." Congress doesn't need Obamacare, the members of congress all have free health care for life. "Delouse our capital." What? "This is one beautiful, angry mob," Dustin Stockton of Eastpointe, an organizer for the Tea Party Express, yelled into the microphone, "The spirit is alive in Michigan." What is beautiful about an angry mob? The spirit is not alive in Michigan, stupidity is. The Tea Party movement was called "the great political and cultural war of 2010." First of all when was war ever good? We have had enough of them and we are still at it. A political and cultural war? What happened to "for the common good" one of the core democratic values? What exactly has people so riled up? The idea of having a system where all Americans will have access to good medical care, no matter their station in life? I find that hard to believe. No I think people are getting riled up by a political party that wants to be back in control so that they can continue their grand old lifestyles and those that don't have won't get.

Go ahead and rant, it just shows your stupidity and the fact that you haven't looked at all sides to the issue to see just how bad Obama really is. But that is how they do it. Little by little, until they control so much of your life that you don't know how you got in, nor how to get out. The beautiful thing about an "angry mob" is the fact that they aren't all like you, taking in everything the media has to say as fact. The people of America know that what is going on isn't right and by showing up to these events, it shows the left wing loonies that they don't have a hold on the American people like they want to. Of course Obama wants you to think that everyone will have access to "good medical care" but it all comes down to rationing. Since you're so swooned by that idea, go live overseas, where you will see that it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have been waiting and waiting for someone that I don't know to come along, read and comment! This is great. The best thing about this great country of ours is that we can all have our opinions, utter them with care and have them treated with respect. I really wasn't ranting, by the way, since to rant is to speak or declaim in a violent, loud or vehement manner. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOk, maybe you weren't ranting..but, there are so many democrats that do spend their time ranting, about the same exact stuff you just said, so whether or not I read it or hear it on the news it all sounds the same to me.
ReplyDeleteWhy should I be forced to work hard and pay for someone who doesn't work, especially if they're able? Right now I have the CHOICE to spread my wealth around by giving it to the bum on the street or a charity, or whoever. But I do not want to be ORDERED to give my money to those who I don't think deserve it..which is what is on Obama's agenda.
Although with this new Health Care junk, it won't go into effect until he is out of office, and as people start to see just how messed up it is, the republicans will be back and the democrats won't fess up to their mistake and instead will blame it on us!
I guess what I don't understand is why you think that national health care will only benefit those that are not working. Health care is not a benefit of every job. Most people who work have to pay something for their health care now, and that is just for the individual's coverage. To add a spouse or dependents is extra. Consequently many people are without good health care because they simply can't afford it, even though they are employed. Many people take a job based on the health care package offered, not the salary, that's how important it is. I just feel that if my neighbors are healthy and happy, and feel safe, then I am safe. Safe from their anger of discontent and safe from their anger at not be treated like a human being should be treated by those voted into office to make sure we have the right of pursuit of happiness! Is it a perfect plan? Probably not. Will there be kinks that need to be worked out? Probably. But it is a start to taking care of the people, and we do need to take care of those who can't take care of themselves. It is called human dignity to care about your fellow man, no matter his political association.
