We Had Eight Years of Bush and Cheney, Now You Get Mad!?

with one comment

clipped from www.dailykos.com

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.

You didn’t get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn’t get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn’t get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn’t get mad when we didn’t catch Bin Laden.

You didn’t get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn’t get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn’t get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans…oh hell no.

The pro-life conundrum

leave a comment »

I have been saying this for 20 years. The fundamentalist Christians want you to believe life is sacred. However, pressure them for affordable health care, housing, food, education and all of a sudden life isn’t so valuable.

No Health Care for Wanted Pregnancies, No Abortions for Unwanted Ones

In Nebraska, if you don’t want to be pregnant, anti-choice lawmakers will do their best to force you to act as an incubator. But if you do want to give birth, then they couldn’t care less if your newborn baby dies due to their laws.
