The fun continues (politics)
Yet more of the right wing shooting itself in the foot:
Protesters hurl slurs and spit at Democrats.
Remember how the hippie assholes of the 60's are held up as objects of ridicule (and rightly so) for spitting on soldiers and calling them "baby killers" during the Vietnam War? Yeah. That.
Maybe I'm too much of a a bleeding-heart hippie (and you know that I'm far more centrist than many of our mutual acquaintances), but I believe that the left (or a great deal of the left) is motivated by, oh, the concept that health care is a right and that it's FUCKING RIDICULOUS for people to die of curable diseases (or even to be horrifically ill, or even to lack basic first-world health "luxuries" like a reasonably healthy set of teeth and ever-growing vaccinations.).
I admit it, I drank the Obama Kool-Aid, I read the books and I believe that he basically wants to do the right thing for people who get forgotten.
But I absolutely shudder at the belief the left cares more about telling people what to do than about GETTING HEALTHCARE TO PEOPLE who can't afford it. I'm not talking some mythical welfare queens, I'm talking about middle classes who are in between the horrifying treatment that passes for care for the indigent and those who are getting decent care (fewer and fewer, just from what I can see from here.).
