Politics and Terrorism

Birthers, Tax Day Tea Party, American Liberty Alliance and the Republican Party. What do all of these groups have in common? They are all playing on the fear of the voters to try to influence them on topics of the day, such as health care reform. They are also all connected with former Republican Party officials pulling the puppet strings in the other three groups. And these movements they are calling "grassroots" are sponsored by corporate America through lobbying groups.

I don't want to appear to be against the Republican Party as that is not completely the case. I am just tired of politicians hiding in the shadows and running these groups all the while denying any connection in public. That is the way the entire Bush presidency was run and what did that get us but big messes in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas.

I am tired of the lies that are being told to influence people who are either too old and easily swayed or people that are just to dumb and gullible to find the facts for themselves. For example, here is a quote from Sarah Palin, "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." That system would be EVIL, fortunately Sarah Palin is just propagating a lie.

Do you really think that our inefficient government can coordinate a death panel that would judge every citizen? That is a logistical nightmare. Do Medicare and Medicaid currently have these so called death panels? They are government run health care plans. Besides, the bureaucrats in the insurance companies are currently doing just this. They decide if a medical treatment is necessary or even if it is experimental and will not be covered. So should we call our insurance companies death panels?

Stop the lies!
