Change you don't believe in

What the hell is going on inside people's heads these days? I've seen the health insurance industry led protests at these town halls and am literally sickened by how disgusting these people are. What the hell goes on inside their heads? You see swastikas, images comparing Obama to Hitler (No individual in history can be compared to the biggest mass murderer. The insurance companies are catching up though), and the other greatest lie, "No to Socialism." We don't even have strong, organized unions in more than half this country. What data do you have suggesting this country remotely is overrun by Socialism? Here's a little stat: Less than 1 percent, yes, 1 percent of this country is run by socialism. I know the Glenn Becks and other prostitutes for the insurance industry might want to check out early at one of those death panels if forced to report that fact. And quite frankly, it would serve us better as a whole if the so-called Greatest Generation moves on to the death panels with the Glenn Becks of the world. They're the ones holding everyone else back. I'm obviously being facitious here, but this illustrates just how stupid the average self-absorbed, apathetic American is. And the rhetorical question you hear from these people whining, "What about what will be left for our children and grandchildren?" Give me a break. They could care less.

If I sound cold-hearted here, you're damn right. I don't tolerate seeing people denied their basic right to care and my immediate family is no exception. Where are all those people who organized for Obama in '08? That was easy. Now, you actually have to do something. Lyndon Johnson said he wouldn't pass Civil Rights legislation until people demanded he did so. Well? Where are you people? Why these nuts who shout with ignorance and blind stupidity aren't silenced is beyond comprehension?

Peaceful protests are an order here. We should attend these Republicans' town halls and simply ask this, "Do you like your government-run insurance plan?" If they try to divert, ask them to specifically list what they don't like about their insurance as a member of Congress. You will see more and more tongue tied; I promise you that.

Spread the message to clergy leaders, friends, and family why a public option will save, yes, save everyone in the long-term. Continue following what transpires. Don't let the interests of a powerful few defeat the majority of us as a whole.
