You know, I get it. No free rides. If you are a black man born in poverty, if you don't have brains, are a bit homely and don't have any special skills, then what? Go to work at McDonald's? Sell Drugs? And if you get sick, Drop Dead? Access to health care should be a basic human right, not a privilege. Our President gets it. Then i see comments on FB saying that Pelosi had plastic surgery on the taxpayers dime. that is insulting and trivializes the need for health care for all.
Republicans are elitist, they use lies and half-truths and fear to keep their hold on power and money. they agree with the queen who said let them eat cake. It amazes me that in the 21st century there are still so many people who just don't get it. We are all in this together. All human beings are entitled to basic human necessities of which health care is a part. I love my country. But, I don't agree with or like some of the policies we impose on others. And I don't agree with those who believe being white and rich entitles you to special privilege. This country uses the majority of this world's resources and gives back very little.
This country was founded on freedom of religion. People left Europe to be free from religious persecution. We find ourselves there again, because religious organizations deem sex between same sex people an abomination before their god. And so, laws have been past to take civil liberties away from these people based on these beliefs. Is this not religious persecution?
Women are being attacked, according to the religious belief that we do not have the right to determine our own destinies because of what's between our legs. Why is this allowed to stand? Where is the right to pursue happiness and liberty for all? Where do men get off thinking they know better what's right for women? Where do people get off thinking it is sin to abort a fetus, but God has ordained it ok to kill the doctor's preforming the proceedure?
I thank God for Barack Obama and his courage in standing up for the rights of ALL!!!
People who claim to believe in Jesus would do well to study what has been written about him, his words, his actions. Jesus said, what you do unto the least of these you do unto me. So if they are not going to honor the separation of church and state, perhaps they should at the very least follow Jesus' example and words.
