My Thoughts On Healthcare Reform

Last night President Obama laid out his healthcare reform plans for the world to see.  I’ve been trying to stay away from political topics but I can’t resist this one.  I promise I’ll keep it brief.

At my work we ship a lot of stuff.  So much stuff that we have a UPS guy make two stops at our office every day.  Note that I said UPS guy and not mailman.  Our mailman is a nice guy but we’re lucky to see him once a week because of Postal Service cutbacks.  This can be extremely irritating when we have to mail something.  The Postal Service isn’t reliable enough for us to depend on so we chose to go with a non-government entity for our shipping needs.

I Couldn’t Have Said It Better

Over the past few days, I’ve been feeling more and more fearful about the direction that our country is headed.  The thing that really set me off is the recent report released by the Department of Homeland Security which basically labels anybody who disagrees with what the politicians are doing right now or hope to do in the not too distant future as a right-wing extremist that should be placed on a terrorist watch list.  This may sound odd but I thought that it was OK to disagree with politicians in America.  Apparently it’s not.

As I was listening to Glenn Beck yesterday on my way home from work, he started talking about this report and his words struck me to the very core.  He was saying everything that I was feeling!  Below are a few excerpts from the transcript of his monologue.  (You can read the whole thing here.)  I could not have even come close to saying it better myself.

Today Is The Day

After what seems like a million years, we finally get to vote for the people that will take it upon themselves to destroy our country.  I’m sure that they don’t think that their policies will destroy our country – they’re doing what’s in their best interests, I mean the country’s best interests.

I plan on voting on my way into work.  I’m actually still conflicted on whom I will be casting my ballot for.  I don’t like what’s been going on with our government over the past few years so I’m reluctant to vote for any incumbents.  I’ll probably end up voting for multiple third-party candidates but I know that doing so is just throwing my vote away.  At least I can say though that I didn’t vote for “that guy”.  I do know though that I’m not voting for Obama for president.  I don’t like McCain but I dislike Obama even more.
