The voices of the masses is being drowned out and falsely guided towards a loud, uninformed segment that claims to represent the majority. These are those (like the current Republican party) that cannot govern through compromise and honest debate, clearly stating their position and conciding when they find themselves in the minority. America was a democracy ruled by laws and governed through majority rule but that might be changing thanks to our minority party friends.

This is by no means strictly exclusive to republicans, but watching conservative authoritarian pundits argue their positions you often see them unable to concede when confronted with facts that challenge or repute their positions and makes you realize that it is difficult if not impossible to truly debate with these authoritarians.
The more radical the party becomes the more you see this authoritarian phenomenon take hold.
This combined with the true observation above about authoritarianis m will continue to give the people of America a continuing electrical shock - ever increasing in intensity and frequency. Unless we are forced to come to our senses or do so on our own we will continue to doom those that have the least and condemn ourselves to a society that genuflects on fear mongering and irrational leadership.
Yes, things need to be reformed but how, surely not by waving a magic wand which is the same as expecting industry to do it themselves!
One can only come to the conclusion that our congressional leaders are in the hip pocket of these money making giants. That is why people are so damn angry. Sure you hear from the idiots that have yet to make a major claim or befall a serious illness who don't want you to take away what they have! Once that average Joe (not the rich guy who can pay his way to good health) begets a serious illness or needs an expensive procedure may find that his "let me keep what I have" insurance will have tossed him out to the wolves!
More an more of the cost of healthcare from those with insurance is being moved over to those same consumers. Copays are going up and have you ever looked at the claim report you get from your insurer? Notice how much of the cost of medical care is applied to your deductible! Not very damn much if anything at all! Yep, legalized extortion, that's just what it is and the crooks are winning!
Lies upon lies is what they keep perpetrating. Someone on this forum said that the Repubs are not capable of governing, boy were they right!
Republican and Democrats alike must now face our united voice and the anger we feel in their dishonor and betrayal of our trust! We MUST mobilize, become active and serve up the kind of true grassroots movement like one that has not been seen in decades. No more of these bogus, faux corporate conceived and orchestrated shams! We must provide them with an awesome helping of a true peoples movement.
We will elicit the unions and tradesman organizations, clubs and usergroups that will cease to support and begin to campaign AGAINST the re-election of any of those purported representatives that no longer speak for those they were elected to represent. Not only their own selective constituents but to have the honor, integrity and courage to speak for the good of ALL Americans! We will elicit truth in churches, synagogues, temples and mosques. We will preach that truth and take back that which was stolen from us!
Call your union officials, speak at your trade organization meetings, write your elected officials, email your group and club members and urge them to do the same and ACT!
I for one am sick and tired of being screwed by those in power, the haves crushing the hope and exploiting the have-nots! The hypocrisy of the loudmouth faithful needs to be drowned out by the voices the faithful masses, who do believe in charity and helping thy neighbor. Who do believe it is a sin to bear false witness. Speak the truth! Speak truth to power and make this America your America! The peoples America!
More and more of the cost of individual healthcare are being passed to the insured as of the last several years. We won’t even mention pre-existing conditions and the like. And what about healthcare as a moral issue? The arguments about this and who argues those positions are astoundingly hypocritical to say the least. Lastly, insurance companies are motivated by profit and thusly provide fewer services in order to maximize that profit.
Look if you don’t want big government, lower taxes, limited or no social services, no regulation of industry then just say that! Don’t come up with these ridiculous ideas and half baked distortions of the truth to justify your position. Just say I believe this… and leave it at that. Then perhaps we can have honest, reasonable debate about this or any other issue.
