this also is not a real post

Well, this is actually more postier than the last non-post, but it's not the big one I promised. I just wanted to take one more opportunity to gripe about the current state of the government's campaign to kill you with crappy healthcare. Liberals like to believe that they have the market cornered on humanity and compassion and equality and other such abstract concepts. They try to say that conservatives only have compassion for other conservatives, and if you want to learn the worth of a human you need to look to a democrat. But now the democrats are showing us exactly what they think a human life is worth by comparing human beings to automobiles, and the irony of that seems to only mean anything to me.

In an effort to persuade you to believe that you should be required by law to purchase health insurance, Obama and his army of hell-spawned demons and prostitutes known as the democratic party have been using the analogy of car insurance. Obama says that requiring people to own health insurance is exactly the same as requiring people to own car insurance. If you don't own health insurance, Obama wants to fine you and maybe even throw you in jail. Same thing as car insurance, for those who drive cars. But here's the thing that they hope you're too stupid to think of. If you don't own health insurance, the odds of that choice having any negative effects on anyone other than you are probably zilch. If I drive my car through a red light and total another person's car and it turns out I don't have car insurance, that person might have to pay for all of the damage I caused them. That would truly suck. But if I don't have health insurance, the worst thing that could happen would be that I get tuberculosis and have to borrow money from someone to pay my medical bills and I forget to pay them back. Big freaking deal.

My point is, they want you to believe that they're "reforming" healthcare out of compassion and humanity. And yet, in their attempts to explain their objective, they've completely removed the human element and they are now treating the issue as a raw business scenario. This is one more glaring piece of evidence that shows the real goal of "healthcare reform," which is dominating your life in every imaginable way as a means of getting more money and power. So if Obama wants to use this analogy, it should work in both directions . Since Obama wants to force health insurance companies to cover people with the worst of pre-existing conditions, I think we should also require car insurance companies to cover people with cars that have pre-existing conditions, such as bald tires and exhausted brake pads, missing mirrors, bent chassis, and rusty old dents. Come on, Barry, you heavy-handed, arrogant pimp. I thought you were supposed to be smart. I really expected better quality work out of this guy. I'm really please that he's going out of his way to show us that he's actually just a retarded gangster.
