I'm back, I went to visit my folks in Minnesota for a couple weeks and had some fun. I got a new laptop too which I was going to link to but has disappeared of Best Buy's site.

So, I read in Rolling Stone an article by Matt Taibbi about the health care bills going around and a couple things caught my attention, Firstly this group calling itself Blue Dog Democrats.

The Blue Coward Democrats, which is the name I have given them, is a group of Democrats who have just openly gone with the Democratic promise the moon then cower in Congress creed. This shows up mostly when the Congress and President are two different parties, or when the Congress is split to fine for anything.

Here is where they earn their coward label though. They have a democratic President and a strong Democratic congress. There is nothing stopping the party of making a bill calling for all firstborns, regardless of gender, of being named Sue. But there in lies the problem. The Democrats are so pussy whipped by the Republican party that all they can hope for is their master's consent on trivial things while taking money from everyone who wants things to stay exactly how they are. If the Republican Party to me wasn't so abhorrent I would've joined them long ago as they are the only party who ever seems to accomplish anything.

The other thing is something they talk about and makes me worried. Part of this bill is supposed to be giving choices, but it seems to be ending up on the only choice being how badly you'll be fucked over. I'll use an example instead of rambling. Mitt Romney got a medicare increase in Vermont so more people could join the program, which would be nice IF only for it saying on the other side you got penalized for not being insured. This is is the type of thinking going into this bill, and of course no one can do anything about it.

So what to do, well that's up to you honestly. It's all of our country swirling down the drain, but if enough of us decide to do something we could stop it yet. Weather it would take contacting you congressman, marching, rioting or even outright domestic terrorism at this point I don't know. I know that they will always have us right where they want us if we don't, begging at the table for scrapes and thinking that this is all it can ever be.
