Since most everyone is sermoned and epistled out by now (I am not really sure sermon and epistle can be used as verbs), Sunday will be reserved here for brief thoughts.
On Health Care Reform
Why is it in this vital public service area the word "Socialized" can be used to quash any talk of real reform? If government run programs are really all that bad, then should not police and fire service be privatized? Perhaps the military too should go private. That Blackwater firm did a bang-up job in Iraq, right?
Save Me, Save Me! The Terrorists are Coming!
Are we really that wussified of a country these days? We can't close Guantanamo because the terrorist prisoners will be on our soil. . . really? While WWII was being fought POWs were brought to the US and no one batted an eye. Of course that generation was in a real war where everyone REALLY sacrificed, and they had a real economic collapse to deal with. This kind of spineless whining makes me wonder what happened to American resolve.
Cheney and Rush
Isn't it funny that so many people take their marching orders on national defense and family values from these two sterling role models? Both draft-dodging wimps, in and out of alcohol and drug rehab, and enough wives to qualify as Hollywood movie stars. Following that logic. . . how about Joe Camel for Surgeon General, Charlie Manson for the head of Homeland Security, and MC Hammer as Director of the IRS?
dad, I think it's "wussified" instead of "woosified."
