So the answer is not more of the same, big government even if run by well-meaning mainliners.<br /><br />(The Tea Party is mostly a sock puppet for the establishment GOP. I think we can agree: talk about slashing the war budget and bringing the soldiers home now and maybe I'll take them seriously.)<br /><br />OKing abortion for rape and incest says, 'Your mother has the right to kill you because she understandably hates your father'.<br /><br />We see many of the same problems - people like Padre's friend being screwed - but disagree on the political solution.Ecgberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354592772973677609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020471.post-31255452420742217902011-06-05T00:17:32.563-04:002011-06-05T00:17:32.563-04:00The problem is, is that the right-wing, tea party,...The problem is, is that the right-wing, tea party, rtc republicans got to where they are because enough people in this country think they have the right answers.<br /><br />And then there was this little gem out of Nebraska recently where the state legislature wants to deny abortion coverage for victims of rape and incest: <i>When asked if women should plan for rape by buying insurance Rep. Pete DeGraaf said: "I have a spare tire in my car....I have a lot of things that I plan for."</i><br /><br />Yeah, so . . .

I just received a message from an old friend from High School in San Jose, CA. I was able to call him and learned that he has lost everything and is living in his car. I live in a third world country and we care for people much better than what is going on in the land which is supposed to be Democracy's Beacon. I probably deal with less people in dire straits than you do in the U.S.A. and I'm in a freakin' third world country!! At least people here can get medical attention and even recieve help for their children. May I suggest, that everybody rise up and make it clear to the Authoritarian/Conservative/Republican/Tea Party Axis that you will no longer stand for the destruction of all that the U.S.A. stands for? I can't believe my wife wants to return there.Padre Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580459577853346369noreply@blogger.com
