Taste and compare:
If you take the Tea Party at their word, people without insurance should be left to die, but the government should nonetheless be prevented from helping individuals access health insurance, because those people might be subjected to death panels, and left to die.
I have no doubt that in fact many Tea Partiers were the same people insisting that we “save Terri Schiavo!”
No one with any real platform will point this out, not at the NY Times, not at the Washington Post, and certainly not on TV. But these are deeply twisted, crazy people we are dealing with.
The Tea Party folks are Ayn Rand Libertarians whose doctrine is the survival of the fittest. These people are generally the least educated, most religious and least tolerant group in our society. They would rather fight than switch and are ready at a moments notice to drag out a gun to make their point. They are fed by the Koch brothers, the John Birch Society, the Klu Klux Klan and the FOX News network. Some call them low-information voters. But what they really are are Neanderthals.
that’s an insult to neanderthals.
Republicans to America: Drop Dead.
Freedom’s just another word for letting people die….
