Historic Health Care Reform

Blessed are the ignorant, the stupid, the scared, the Republicans. They shall one day have their eyes opened. I know the abortion issue is huge, I know it strikes deep in the hearts of the shallow Christians. It is all they know. I am not pro-abortion, nor do I think many people are. Therefore, I agree that tax payers should have a voice in how their money is used, and to use it for elective abortions is inappropriate. However, only the ignorant and shallow can possibly believe it is better for a victim of rape or incest to be forced to carry a child to term due to lack of money for an abortion. Nor should a family be forced to watch their mother and wife die due to complications of a pregancy, again due to lack of money. This is civilized America we live in, not hundreds of years ago. Abortion is a necessary evil. Without that choice we will revert to the back street, illegal and severely dangerous butchering of the past. Because until we stop RAPE and INCEST by those uneducated and angry men in our society, we will have to allow women the choice of abortion. Of course rape and incest is not allows by the uneducated, as we have seen. But check out the prisons, how many rapists and pedophiles have college degrees? We know this dis-ease is about poverty and ignorance and being handed a life without a tool box. We also know that if we educate those born into poverty, they are less likely to follow the path to welfare, and over reproduction. We should also be able to make the leap that health care for all, will also foster the continuation of a more civilized society. When we take care of all, we begin to realize the sanctity of life.
The other ignorant statement coming out of this vote last night is the price tag. (just go to Twitter or Facebook for those comments). It truly amazes me again, how we can get two views of this that are 180 degrees apart. The Obama camp has been telling us we are going to save money in the long run, and they have tons of evidence to prove it, yet the Republicans are again, preying on our ignorant fears to incite the greatest fear of all: raising taxes. President Obama said there will be a tax cut, the Republicans say a tax increase. Interesting, because the ones who say there is a tax cut are the ones in control! The very ones who supported a president that got us into a completely unnecessary war which is sucking 10 billion dollars a month, are those screaming about changing a system that is totally broken. There is nothing left to assume about the Repulicans except they are either complete liars, or completely stupid. Oh wait we forgot religion. How many Republicans are in the legislature primarily or solely for the purpose of getting Roe v Wade off the books, and ensuring gays do not marry? That is the scariest congressman of all. And they are there.
Lastly, I am hoping some of my burnt out, near dead colleagues in the education business, may finally be able to get out of teaching. They feel trapped. Why? They cannot afford health insurance until they are old enough to collect Medicare. Strange, some of these people are Republicans who oppose any government involvement in health care (it is socialist you know), yet collecting Medicare is their God given right, I guess. Ignorance.
Blessed are the courageous, the visionary, the Pelosis, the Obamas, the Stupaks, for they will inherit my vote.
Thank you,
