Dishonesty and Fanaticism

Dishonesty and scare tactics have run rampant in the recent discussions about extending health care benefits to the 50 million people in America who are excluded from the health care system. These people are either excluded because they have a pre-existing medical condition and cannot get health insurance at any price, or because they simply do not have enough money to buy health insurance.

Logic, facts, and honesty seem to have become alien concepts to most of the loudest Republicans and right wingers.

I have been getting more and more racist crap by e-mail from friends who I thought were well grounded, reasonable people. It seems that in reality most of the debate is really about doing anything at all to try and help out Mexicans or Blacks in America. Good old fashioned racism, bigotry, and intolerance.

All these Republican lies you hear are just the modern day equivalent of the KKK or the Nazis. These sleaze balls would be happiest if all people of dark skin were just ethnically cleansed. Probably they would next want to go after the homosexuals, the Jews, and then maybe even the poor white trash. These reactionaries really are the most vile form of low-life scum.
