I want to start out by saying that I've written some pretty lousy diaries on Daily Kos. I was (rightly) reprimanded althought once in a while someone agreed with me.
But I don't give up easily and keep trying to say something that matters.
What I think I'm missing is why on earth the Democrats and especially President Obama are not stepping up to the plate, with outrage, about our health care system. I wrote about this last night but the more I think about it, the more I wonder why on earth the Dems are not using their clout to give every American decent health care.
And that's not all. I am just so completely baffled that President Obama and all the Congressional Democrats don't go on a total PR blitz. To wit:
--Endless amounts of money have been spent to first destroy the Iraqi people and now to help them rebuild. Meanwhile, American families are going hungry, losing houses, losing jobs and going on food stamps. Obama, do you want to feed and house your own countrymen or give handouts to a foreign country that we stupidly destroyed, but that never was a threat to us?
I'm sorry, I think Americans who had nothing to do with the Bush/Cheney war in Iraq should be the first in line when it comes to food, housing and medical care. Let Bush and Cheney help the Iraqis they destroyed, they have the billions to do it.
--Obama should remind people about this.
--As for Iran, why are we all so bent out of shape about Iran getting and developing nuclear weapons? Many countries have had much stronger nuclear weapons for decades and there hasn't been a nuclear holocaust for decades.
We ALL know that a nuclear war would destroy the planet. No one wants to die or see the planet die and it just ain't gonna happen. I happen to think that the majority of Muslims are just as scared of this as we are.
Let the Iranians build nuclear power plants and by the way, let's do it ourselves. Get the oil out of the equation as soon as possible.
No need for oil---no middle east worries. Let the middle east work out their problems their own way. As for the Israelies, I sometimes think they should all relocate to Nevada and turn yet another desert into a paradise.
Think about it: Las Vegas, Israel. And then the Palastines (who I kind of sympathize with) will shut up (maybe) and the middle east will settle down (maybe).
Well, I guess you will all tell me what a stupid bimbo I am but I'm going to post this anyhow.
