The Republicans are Coming, and They Want Your Medicare!

Knowing what we do right now about Republicans, are they the people that you want making decisions about your healthcare?

Apparently, the Republican Clown Show is making decisions for us right now, even though we are in the majority. Sarah Palin’s infamous “death panel” lie has infected the dialogue and Newt grabbed her torch of cynical dishonesty. Newt, as you know, needs no help doing or saying whatever is most politically expedient for him. From there it spread to Grassley and then invaded the majority of the Republican representatives. They now won’t commit to whether or not they think Obama wants to kill grandma.

They’re just not sure, you see?

Well, my fellow reasonable Americans, I am sure. I am absolutely positive that the Republicans want to kill Grandma, or rather, healthcare for all. See, first Newt got caught in the corner of his “big government can’t do anything right” argument as he was defending Palin's Death Panel Projection, which left him with no out but to suggest that Medicaid and the VA medical benefits should be given up, since they are also “socialism”. Newt is sure we can all “make other arrangements”. Hmmm…..Since he said this at the same time as he was accusing Obama of wanting to kill Grandma, I can only conclude that reality and Newt are long-time strangers.

Let’s remember that these are the folks are cohorts with the Third Wave Assemblies of God, like The Family. Palin is essentially the poster child for these folks, who praise Hitler as someone who could really rile people up, and believe that it’s Christian to pray for the demise of those who don’t believe what they believe. In order to assure this demise, they take to talking in tongues, witchcraft, and violence. Yeah, sure doesn’t sound like the Christian church I know. Nor the one Grandma knows. It doesn’t sound like mainstream Christianity! That’s because it’s not.

These “Holy Armies” actually want to take over the US government, to break down the wall between church and state for good. This is not secret; their mission statement is Horror-movie creepy: “they're working to bring about a Christian theocratic government which, writes head of Morningstar Ministries Rick Joyner, “may seem totalitarian at first.””, but it’s not because…well, when they do it, it’s cool? After all, they have to “expel demons and transform cities.”
