Health Care and Hitler

I love how the United States claims to be the beacon of the world, the way and the light, the bestand mostest Christian nation in the world, the world's only leading superpower, its way or the highway, yet seems to be falling apart at the seams.

To be completely honest with you all, this is my fourth attempt to put into words my thoughts on the current health care debate and the state of the country as a whole. I have no idea how to write my frustration with the sheep that follow who they think are experts. I want to sound smart and knowledgeable, but it all comes too convoluted for even my own brain to make sense of it. My frustration stems from the tactics of the children. I do not feel the human race has much longer if it continues this way. We have no chance to reach a true utopia if people continue this way. Who are the children you may ask? Well, they are the ones telling dumb folks to go out and disrupt real discussion and real debate about health care reform. Whether or not they are Republicans, they are the ones who don't want to the current system to change, who will stop at nothing for progress to be stilted and the new era of America to be stained with naysayers and spoilsports.

The more crazies that get onto the media, the more crazies the world sees and identifies with. I'm just extremely frustrated that these people will never be reasoned with and their opinions will never change. I would like to open a conversation on this, so please comment your thoughts!!!

One more thing:

Firstly, the swastika is wrong if you're comparing Obama to the Nazis. This is why stupid people should not try to make parallels in history. I absolutely love the Nazis-Obama/Democrats parallel, because even though they were called the National Socialist Party, they were not socialist, they were fascist. One man rules while the state owns and controls as much as it can while not giving much to anyone else. I'm not sure the parallels work here... although if the "Kill Grannies" rumor is true, it would be Obama's "Final Solution".

Michelle Bachmann... Part Deux

I found this video while surfing HuffPost:



So what is it with this woman? Is she Joe McCarthy reincarnated? Is it some weird ritual that put his soul into her body, like in The Mummy 2? What is it with her? She spews hate like she's a hate-breathing dragon. I get she has her views on the world, but do they have to be so utterly extreme? Does she have to tell the poor confused moderate part of the country that "re-education camps" are what Obama wants to do? Does she realize that she uses words that are intentionally loaded? Does she not understand that people will take her words literally? Does she not understand that people are dying taking words literally (e.g. the Koran)?

I thought when Barack Obama was elected by a large margin over Old Man and Crazy Hypocrite, the country had agreed that right-wing policies were failing the country as a whole. I guess not, seeing as how left-wing policies need to be stopped at all costs! We cannot elect a liberal-centrist and allow him to change the country the way he sees it! Don't be silly, we elect a liberal, but they must follow conservative agendas. That's how the US works.

Wrong. That's how Michelle Bachmann thinks the country works. Lucky for the rest of us, she doesn't get much of a say int eh House of Reps, seeing she is the in the minority of the minority.

She needs to go away. She needs to get out of national politics. Resign, or something. The Radio hosts says at the beginning of the movie that she hopes MB runs against Amy Klobuchar in 2012 for the Senate seat. I hope she does, because Amy Klobuchar has a bigger chance to win the entire state than Michelle Bachmann can squeeze out in her own district. Then she'll be out of the House and Senate! One can only hope.

However, there is one upside to her spouting off her mouth: She and people like Sarah Palin keep putting their feet further down their mouths, digging the hole of the über-conservative part of the Republican party deeper and deeper.

I guess I'll keep up my crusade against stupid speech. I'll be keeping my eye on her. Don't think Part Deux the last...

Fox News is on Top...? (LINK)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/fox-news-claims-9-of-top_n_181878.html

This is shocking to me. How is that a cable channel where facts and logic are optional wins ratings battles for cable and has the top 9 shows in cable news? I do not understand this. Obama wins by a large margin, by a huge electoral vote margin, along with the popular vote, and Congress gains huge Democratic majorities, a mandate if you will to change Washington. It is no secret Fox has been and is a cheerleader for the Bush Administration and Republicans. Only a few times have I seen on that channel a break from talking points or accountability toward the Republican party. Bush chose his interviews wisely, and most of the time it was on Fox. So how did Fox do it?

Because now there are not the cheerleaders. They now get to be the channel of the regular folk, not beholden to any major authority in politics. But none of the personalities have changed, save for Glenn Beck. How does that work when Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly are backing up President Bush's choice to enter Iraq to criticizing Obama for his own policies? Sure, they might not agree, but the viewers should not have changed. If you hated liberals and liked Bush, then you watched Fox. If you hate liberals and like Republicans, then you watch Fox. Where's the disconnect? Where do the increased viewership come from?

I watch all three cable news channels (basically whichever doesn't have a commercial on), and I can't see why anybody would want to watch Billo the Clown, Hannity the manatee, or Glenn "I'm fucking crazy" Beck. It is too bad people fall for this trap of pure populism. I can understand staunch conservatives watch Fox, but normal folk is just ridiculous. This is what adds to the ignorance of Americans, our ethnocentrism, and our arrogance toward the rest of the world.

People need to stop giving Fox the respect it doesn't deserve in the form of ratings. I hope it changes and Fox makes some changes.

Michael Steele is a Toole

I was just reading about Michael Steele's latest CNN interview and he said he was 'done' with reaching out to Obama.

I've been watching his media circus rounds with an amazement that only rivals what I thought of Sarah Palin. He is a tool like no other. First he says the government doesn't make jobs only work, then he says that Rush Limbaugh is a monster (or something like that), then he apologizes to Rush a day later because he's afraid he's going to lose electors, then he says he plans everything, including all of his squabbles, and now he is acting like a child toward Obama.

I'm with Rachel Maddow on this. I hope he stays around, constantly putting his foot in his mouth so the stupid conservatives keep up the in-fighting and petty squabbling instead of actually showing the voters they can get shit done. Steele looks goofy, acts goofy and is downright retarded. I think as a person not of the media there's a catch-22. I don't care for what he says but I can't get enough of his idiocy.

I'm going to keep watching him contradict himself right and left, on things like abortion rights, the role of the Republicans in national and regional politics, and the Obama administration. Because there is nothing better than a politician being constantly reminded that he remains a populist, never holding to a set of core beliefs.
