It does not mean that the elderly are going to have to fret about going before some "Death Council". It does not mean that sex changes are going to be handed out like candy. It does not mean that women are going to be forced to get an abortion. It means that people in a country that has 11 Essex class carrier groups can now finally be able to get health care. Why do I mention the aircraft carriers? Those represent huge sums of money, labor, and combat power. Our navy is bigger than any other countries, to the point of being ridiculous. Republicans have no problem pouring yet more money into this, but when you start talking about spending a bit of money on health care, like other fucking countries already do!, you get nothing but incoherent spittle flying rage and the above lies.
The neo-cons have really warmed up their fear-mongering machine on this one. The want the average person to think that this health care bill will make them stand before a council that will tell them they can't get the treatment they need but will force them to not only get a sex change but and abortion as well. While we are on that topic neo-cons, can we please stop focusing on abortions? They are a small part of a very comprehensive medical bill, yet you are doing your best to kill the bill by throwing the word abortion around. We wouldn't want women to be able to make informed choices about their own body huh? I mean, they are just meant to get pregnant and then surrender their bodies to the fetus aren't they? Honestly, the views on womens health held by many in the right are misinformed at best.

Dear Republicans.
Do you ever stop and listen to yourselves? Do you ever actually hear the inane shit coming out of your mouths? The mere fact of you saying something does not automatically make it true. Really really really really believing in something does not mean it is right and doesn't trample all over the rights of others.
Obama is not a Muslim, nor he is not an American. He does not have to prove to you that he isn't either of those. You can not have negative proof. Let me explain it to you. You want Obama to prove the he isn't a Muslim and that his birth certificate isn't faked. This is the same as me walking up to you and asking you to prove that you didn't eat my ham sandwich when I wasn't looking. Do you see how inane that is? Do you see how impossible it is to prove a negative?
Oh, you say that you weren't the ones that officially started all those rumors? Well neither did you do anything to stop them coming out of those that claimed to be part of your party. You never said, "Despite what some think, the official view of the Republican party is that Obama is neither an illegal alien nor Muslim." But you didn't, because that's how you guys work. If you can just find the right combination of scare words that get your way, so be it. Doesn't matter if it is true or not, as long as it gets what you want done, there isn't a thing wrong with it.
For example, abortions. There is so much fucking disinformation out there about them that it is ridiculous. You don't like abortions, fine no one is saying that you have to. But you do not have the right to attempt to keep others from exercising their choice, especially when that choice is legally protected. I don't care if your magical sky daddy says it's wrong, that doesn't mean that you should block the door to abortion clinics and scream at the women going in there. I found this blog, http://everysaturdaymorning.wordpress.com/ , and the things he has experienced in there are just sad. Is it really necessary to attempt to demoralize the women in there with things like a crucified baby? I think it is safe to assume that these women for the most part are not experiencing a high point in their life and they really don't need your shit on top of it.
One final note, Stephen Colbert. He might say things that you like, and you might think he is a good Republican, but guess what? He's fucking making fun of you. The way he acts is how you come off in the general media and life in general. He is parodying you, and the sad part of it is that your viewpoint requires such stringent adherence to dogmatic and often oppressive principles that it is hard to tell when someone is parodying you and when someone is being true.
In conclusion, I find your total ignorance of facts, your attack on things that are even slightly different than your viewpoints, and you overstated insistence that America do the "Christian" thing because for some nebulous reason all chaos would break out if we didn't all believe in an imaginary zombie friend that talks to us in our heads, repulsive. Your viewpoints are often ones of intolerance, hatred, and discrimination. Your treatment of the LBGT community, women in general, minorities, and really anyone who is not a rich white male makes me angry. One can only hope that in your heart you know that you are being mean and petty and that you don't really think you are right in all the inane, hateful things you say.
