Today's rant is about the emotional climate of this country. It is my personal feeling that we are a nation divided by common beliefs. For example, whether you lean right or left, most people believe we need health care reform. Yet, no one can agree on how to go about achieving this goal. The fight began and soon it was not about health care reform or insurance reform, it was about which party would come up with the plan that gets passed. Get it passed and be on the team that passes it. That is all that is required for a win. If you were on the "losing" team you are now filled with righteous indignation that the President used his power and influence to unilaterally force this bill upon you when "no one" wanted it. It's not about the bill, the piece of legislation, its about it being forced upon you. My question to all of you who have been so morally offended by this president forcing health care on you, the last time a President unilaterally forced his will upon us we declared war on a country that had not attacked us. Tens of thousands of people died because of that decision. Where was the moral indignation then? A president forces us to war, disguised as a patriotic act, and no one was screaming to the heavens then. Is war patriotic and health care immoral?
We need to get our priorities straight. We are not two groups of people sharing the same space. We are a single country trying to live together in peace and harmony. Talk to each other. Learn the facts. Don't let screaming talk radio hosts tell you your opinion. Formulate it on your own and allow the facts to dictate your opinion to you, not the other way around.
To quote the great Dennis Miller, "This is just my opinion. I could be wrong."
