A finger of a chance for a calm debate?
President Barack Obama will address Congress on Sept. 9 about health reform. Maybe he can diffuse some of the hotheads on both sides of the issue that are turning some heath-reform rallies into combat zones.
This week in Fresno, people rallying for reform and those opposed to it came nose to nose at the Amtrak station. No blows were thrown, but by the shouted words and contorted faces that television crews captured, the anger level was pretty high.
Now, newspapers and The Associated Press have reported that a rally in Thousand Oaks ended with a finger bitten off.
Can we hope Congress behaves better when members begin debating health reform in earnest this month?
Comments:
Of course tempers are short. And there is one reason and one reason only. THE PEOPLE are tired of being lied to and having socialist policies foist upon them by self-serving, hypocrit ideologs. Not one of these politicians (including the President) says he/she has read the bill, yet they lecture us, stating we are misinformed or just plain wrong about what is in it. As proof of their intentional misinformation, listen to what they tell us. They (including AARP) tell us to go to this web site or that organization for more FACTS. Not one says what I will tell you here. READ THE BILL FOR YOURSELF. It's right here http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3200/text.
Yes, it's 1,036 pages. If you don't read the whole thing, do yourself (and all of us) a favor. At least read the first 300 pages. You will get the idea.
This bill is a giant step toward the ultimate goal of socialism. God help us if this effluence is enacted.
