L:ook at what Republicanism has devolved to today. The GOP is nothing but insane Christian theofascist hate mongers who hate the higher ideals of the U.S. Constitution and the ideas of that America supposedly holds dear.
Republicans are hate-filled Christians first and foremost. They can not be educated, they can not be reasoned with, they are driven by occult hate and nothing can cure them.
Any parent recognizes that those who are hopelessly crippled by acne still have all the answers.
Even after at least two months the same gossamer skinned bedwetter who hides comments is begging for donations.
Is there a connection between abject stupidity and panhandling?
give it up. Seek therapy, stop sniveling.

The only income these people have is from food stamps and unemployment and the Republican party and their big business supporters would like to take that away too. "
Whom are you addressing here? The Republicans you told to "shut the F up and pull their heads out of their asses" or actual houseless people? The switch from "you" to "these people" in the following line is a bit confusing..
So we need a strong federal government to prevent homeless people from sleeping in public parks and eating dandelions? What if "these people" want to eat some healthy and nutritious acorns? Call out the national guard?
As someone with an semi-anarchist and 'green libertarian' ideology, the rush of many on the establishment left to protect the "good" Obama Democrats against the "evil" Bush Republicans seems a bit out of balance. We are all taught to ASSUME that since the Republicans fulfill the wishes of corporations and the wealthy elites that then only other option is for the Democrats to support the working class and populations of people living in poverty, all the while protecting the environment and telling great jokes and touching stories while they're at it. After all, what other choice is there besides the "lesser evil"? We can't even try to vote for the "least possible evil" third party choices of Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr, etc... or else the establishment Democrats call us spoilers!!
To quote the late, great Malcolm X;
"Do not assume anything, brother (or sister)!"
Hip, hip, hooray for Obama, so much more literate, charming and educated than the previous inhabitant of the White House!
Now that we have that out of the way, let's discuss the actual outcomes of the current health care system, western medicine and insurance corporations. Obama talks a great game against the insurance corporations making excessive profits on sick people, though we still have no public option nor an answer as to why we need health insurance corporations to begin with..
What did indigenous Native Americans do without health insurance corporations for the last 10,000 years they lived in North America? Did they die anytime they became ill because they couldn't afford to pay the doctors because they lacked medical insurance coverage? Most likely that is not the case, as the ecosystem was intact and plenty of medicinal plants and herbs grew throughout the region that could be harvested by either laypeople or shaman healers depending on tribal customs.
Of course back then (or now) they didn't have effective treatments for "white man's diseases" like cancer, diabetes and other such illnesses caused by either pollution of the ecosystem from radiation or pollution of the body from unhealthy food..
When suggesting that people return to earlier times of greater ecological sanity, that may include eating dandelions also, (provided some idiot hasn't sprayed them with toxic petrochemical pesticides because they thought they were weeds), we don't need some establishment neoliberal telling us to "shut the f up" because they don't want to bother looking outside of their modernist bubble..
Most modernist people of the status quo; BOTH Republicans and Democrats (ie., neoconservatives and neoliberals), need a serious wake up call about their overdependency on western medicine's pharmaceutical based treatment of symptoms instead of focusing on ecological sanity (ie., prevention of environmental pollution from toxin spewing corporations) and nutrition (ie., preventing pollution of the body by eating a healthy diet)..
Here's a healthy care plan that i'm willing to endorse, tribal community self-care;
"Health Care in a Phantom Democracy"
by Jan Lundberg
06 September 2009
"If Money Can't Buy Love, Can It Buy Health Care?
In 2002 I wrote The Health Care Tribe, but not in response to high health care costs. Rather, my concern was that people need to take care of one another: family, friends, neighbors. Sounds a little odd for the U.S., does it not?
Low cost health care, or rather medical care as it really is constituted, is not a benefit if healing is not the purpose. "Getting better" perhaps -- through treatments purchased -- is what's hoped for, even for the rich. In their case, life is sometimes extended through great expense, but is it worth living hooked up to machines? Democracy has come to mean the poor too are on multiple legal drugs, with side-effects requiring still more drugs.
More and more middle aged people in this nation look and feel like they are older: out of shape, and sometimes in the grip of chronic illness. The ultimate direction is early death. Health is a puzzlement to most people, just as buying a large house may or may not present structural or other flaws: surprises can happen, so we throw money at it and hope for the best. Too bad it doesn't work with the body. What does work, for the petrochemical pharmaceutical makers, is an increasingly addicted generation of sufferers.
Before we can solve this worsening scam, though a tribal community approach, one must take personal responsibility to care for one's body. Garbage in, garbage out. Get the garbage out through detoxifying. [Fasting treatise is below under Further Reading - ed.]
Injecting self-care and community-care into the current "health care debate" requires redefining the power of the individual and the concept of community. If a maximum of community is desirable, tribal bonding (i.e., organized mutual aid) ought to be considered ideal, because less community through employment or other servitude results in a sham of community.
As innovative and effective as the Health Care Tribe concept may be, it cannot compete with big bucks from the capitalist medical/insurance establishment. Although we can reach many people with the health care tribe concept, and a few of them might implement it, we are almost entirely shut out of the national public discussions -- not just on health but on everything. This is how our "democracy" works. It is not an accident or a flaw; it is deliberate."

http://culturechange.org/ As a registered Green who voted for Cynthia McKinney, i am neither a racist nor a right wing tea party mad hatter singing looney tunes who "hates Obama because he is black, and that is why i am oppossed to so-called health care reform". My view is that BOTH Republicans and Democrats are corrupt beyond hope and do not deserve my vote, never have, never will..
My new government is the recently established "shadow government" of Co-President Cynthia McKinney, Co-President Ralph Nader and Co-President Bob Barr. These three new "shadow presidents" are the people that i would look to for leadership, and their diverse views serve to balance one another out so that no one position dominates the other. The three "shadow presidents" also are not influenced by corporate campaign contributions as are BOTH Republicans and Democrats. Am inviting the only honest ones i know [Dennis Kucinich - (D) and Ron Paul - (R) ] to jump ship from their respective corrupt parties and join the "shadow government" as advisors..
Please take this "shadow government" with a grain of salt for the time being, we don't want the FBI busting down Ralph Nader's door accusing him of seccession..
However, it needs to be said that another real shadow government in Afghanistan is the DIRECT result of corruption in government offices under the Karzai regime, installed puppet of GW Bush and so-called "winner" of the recently stolen election. The Taliban moved into the position of the real shadow government because the Afghani people were tired of government corruption and favoritism under Karzai, the Taliban are strict (ok, so maybe they are harsh!) yet fair and unbiased in their judicial rulings. Their fair and unbaised rulings seems to be more valued by the Afghani people than are concerns about the harshness of the punishments inflicted by the Taliban..
BTW, i was part of the "Cascadian" secessionist movement under GW bush regime's reign of terror, though i have dropped it following the election of Obama because i wanted to give him a chance (naive hope maybe?) to fix the mess caused by GW Bush and also because now secession can be confused with racism (ie., Confederate secession) by ignorant establishment hacks who don't bother to learn anything outside the narrow realm of their two party system..
Now (thanks in part to the above smart alecky article) i am returning to my original goals of Cascadian secession, regardless of whether establishment hacks will call me racist or not..
So keep your federal raiders (DEA, FBI, CIA, ATF, etc...) EAST of the Mississippi, por favor!!
On the topic of secession, starting from the Pacific coast and moving inland, my suggestion is everything south of Sacramento is for the Aztlan Nation and everything north of Sacramento is for Cascadian Nation. Sacramentro represents a meeting place where both government can discuss their futures..
Cascadia;
"Now is the time for the citizens of Cascadia to demand their freedom from the oppressive governments of Canada and the United States. For too long have our people put up with indifference and condescendence from distant seats of power. We have been subject to francophonic imperialism and wasteful spending of our tax money. Our entrepreneurs have been attacked by the so-called justice system for merely doing their jobs and growing our economy. When will we say enough is enough?
The former American states of Oregon and Washington and the former Canadian province of British Columbia must join together as a sovereign nation. Only then can we have self-determination and take our rightful place in the Global Community."

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century, taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico.
Charles Truxillo suggests the “Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is “an inevitability.”
He envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican states: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas."

Peace out feddies!!
