Politicians...therefore politics...will kill you. Three recent articles in my local newspaper stated it clearly. First there was article about the ongoing wars in the middle-east...wars started by a GOP President using now-proven-to-be lies about weapons of mass destruction. Every day more of our loved ones die in these far away places...and most people's level of interest is about bumper-sticker deep. Congress won't consider a draft because they know then too many peope would be engaged and be calling for their scalps. So..we let our volunteers carry the burden..under-appreciated and also beings screwed by big banks foreclosing on their homes, inadequate health care and so on. Second was an article about republicans wanting to reform (read eliminate) medicare benefits and also taking every opportunity to tell women how to manage their own bodies while also defining rape and the funded care available to either prevent conception or assist rape victims. Third was an article about an Israeli archeologist working to unearth the facts about a WWII German death camp in Poland. People German politicians didn't like were brought there in open boxcars, immediately gassed and incinerated. The archeologist found and identified a medallion as belonging to a six year old girl. One of millions killed because she was born to the wrong people at the wrong time in a place ruled by vicious, political gangsters.
If you're not white, not a member of the proper evangelical or otherwise organized christian church that dictates your life for you, if you're LGBT, if you're one of those lazy, shiftless slackers that won't work for a living (who cares if jobs are hard to find or if you're disabled), or if you're old, if you can't afford our astronomically expensive health care, the GOP has a plan for you: It's called ESAD...Eat Shit and Die....or enlist so they can kill you somewhere else and cry their crocodile tears while lunching at the club. Romney hid in France during Vietnam. Ryan recently said he had foreign policy experience because he had sent our loved ones to war. Thanks, but no thanks. All we need is two more rich, gutless, self-indulged (like GW Bush) GOP chicken-hawks leading our nation...lining the pockets of their peers with our tax dollars.
