The Republicans and the Blue Dogs are fighting a public option for healthcare because of the $3.4 BILLION DOLLARS in campaign contributions they have received from the healthcare industry. And their minions are too stupid to realize this. Just about everything they have said is lies.
But the world is different today. It is not as easy to lie. And their lies are being exposed.
The optional end of life counselling is the most amazing lie of all. Unbelievable! I guess none of these people has ever heard of a living will.
Those on the right have no idea who Stephen Hawking is. Remember, they are anti science.
I guess there is Science, and then there is Science. Wow, we sure are lucky to have you guys showing us the way.
"As the debate over President Obama's socialized healthcare plan heats up, the depth of his radicalism is becoming more evident.
John Holdren, Obama’s recent choice for “Science Czar,” provides the latest and perhaps most troubling example of extremism. In the name of population control, Holdren has advocated both forced abortion and compulsory sterilization through government-administered tainting of the water supply. "
Pro-Abortion Science Czar John Holdren May Forecast Future of "ObamaCare"

This is another case of Reaching. There is a "Christian War on Science" that is going on this country. There is no doubt about that. Just the fact that the right wants to hamstring their children by teaching "mysticism" in place of science is evidence.
John Holdren's book was about "what could happen". And he is probably right. That's the sad part.
Look at China. China has well over a billion people. One of every five people in the world are Chinese. They started a policy of one child only because of massive starvation and poverty. Then, women were aborting their girl babies to have a boy. In some areas there are 20 boys for every girl. That's turns girls into a "natural resource" dehumanizing them and at the same time , creating an enormous military made up of men who, many feel, have nothing to live for, which makes them the most dangerous kind of fighters.
The problem with the religious is they live in the "Land of Milk and Cookies". They believe that magical Jesus will float down from heaven and all the good Christians will rise up into a cloudy sky like helium filled balloons, only, instead of "popping", they will just keep going, going, going.
Look at Mexico. The 11th most populated country in the world. 50% of Mexico lives in poverty. 18% have no idea where their next meal comes from. Yet, the vast majority is Catholic and they are vehemently against birth control. Who knows, one day they might start trying to pour over our borders. What will Republicans say then? WTF? It's already happening. That's right, things that John Holdren said will happen back in 1977 are happening now.
Scientists have always been the "harbingers of doom". It's because they see what is going to happen because they do things like "study" and gather things like "facts".
In the mean time, the same person is taking about Obama's socialism. Mmmm, let's see, in 1993 the US paid 94 billion in health care, in 2008, the US paid 2.5 TRILLION. At this rate, in ten years, one of every five dollars will go to health care. This is what the right is fighting for? Hey, if you want to give your money away to an organization that has no doctors, no nurses, no hospital and no medicine AND, if you get sick, could remove you from even getting care, give it to the church. They'll take your money and you don't hear them fighting for health care for their "flock".
