Finally!!! The House gave final approval, sending the bill to the President for approval. The final vote occurred yesterday in a mad dash for those lazy bums to meet their 2 week recession. Nice work, if you can get it, huh?

Though happy they got something done, I'm still peeved that a group of over priviledged Americans took their own sweet time to throw a bone at the rest of us. A group of people who already have health insurance for life, paid for by those same insurance-poor people they represent. Not only that, these same worthless piece of scum felt the need to discuss such things as the end of the private insurance industry, as if that would be such a great lost. An industry that has been responsible for the capitalization of health care, as well as, other aspects of our lives. The same industry that has a greater sway over our representatives in the Congress than we do. They are so powerful that most of the language of this new health care bill was written by them.

So, though happy that some of us working stiffs are getting at least some of our tax dollars applied to something we can use, I wonder what happened to universal health care, where everyone is covered? Isn't that what the Republicans are so steamed about? Isn't that part of Obama's "socialist agenda?" Socialism would ensure that ALL Americans would have the same health insurance. That means the homeless man on the street would have the same coverage as any member of Congress. What happened to the government envisioned in Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" that would be "of the people, for the people, and by the people?" I guess he was just another radical like Obama. This, as well as, Obama's adoption of Lincoln's philosophy of inclusion, came back to bite him. Not only did he not deliver on his promise of universal health care, not a single Republican voted for the bill.

All the speeches in the world couldn't change what was preordained. Pretty words can't ignite a revolution in a sleeping giant. It's this kind of thing that makes me want to just tune out like everyone else. The only thing that keeps me from doing that is complacency is how we got here.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!
