This stuff is getting out of control. I love the analogy about the pot being boiled too quickly and the Frogs realizing it. I don't know about you guys, but I think this is just the beginning of things.
I saw a great article talking about Health Care. It's written by a guy who voted for Kerry over Bush in 2004, and pretty much destroys all insinuating arguments posted by those in favor of ObamaCare on message boards. Check it out
here. It's brilliant, scathing, and dead-on, IMHO.
Last night, I switched over to Rachel Maddow's show, and saw her using the term "anti-health care reformers". Terrible. I was disgusted. I feel we are all being manipulated by both parties in evident and blantant ways to such a degree rarely seen before in this country's history. We need homemade signs that clearly say "Bush sucks! Prosecute Cheney for War Crimes! ObamaCare sucks! Bring our Troops Home!".
We need not allow the GOP to shoe-horn us into this one message of ObamaCare sucks. We need to not play their game, but use the publicity present at these events to shout out the freedom message and wake some more people's eyes up. Most of the message board commentators on news sites clearly are under the impression that the protestors are all Neo-Con diehard GOP to the bone supporters. There are ways that we can spread this message effectively and peacefully, and then there are other ways, which include pursuing the BC angle, which IMHO is a well-intentioned but misguided avenue that takes energy away from what those who support the freedom movement are trying to do.
We need to continue hammering home ALL three or four of our core messages at these events, or else we're just playing right into the Republicrats hands. At this rate, things inch closer and closer to martial law and a police state. Change, baby. Change.
