Sick Sick country

After being exposed to radiation by MY COUNTRY and a child died from lack of medical care, I am fed up with the lack of morality of the Republican party, the lies coming from the president down to the lower representatives of the conservative party.

The present gaslight from the Republican Party is that with the new medical you will have choice. Choice only comes from those with money. Choice means damn little when you or your children die because the more wealthy are more valuable. What kind of sick morality is in practice from the Republicans. You common man are being manipulated like some dumb animal and I believe the well to do consider you working class exactly that although they do not say so, but look at their actual practice....look! Do some critical thinking... The gutlessness of the American people to just stand and take it.

The lack of morality I see in the conservative party who claims they are family values and the so-called fundamentalist the support such lack of principles when they stand behind the Republicans. But then again the fundamentalist want political power so they can force you to honor their belief systems. Jesus never FORCED anyone to believe in his principle--strike one - fundamentalism does not come from spirituality but from man himself and his ego. The Republican party and those who support such darkness are no more moral than an animal. An animal fights all comers for life because it is not man but follows instinct only. Man on the other hand was given a brain and and ego, but the ego has no moral basis. Life expressed as whoever has the power lives while those from whom it is being taken dies, what a rotten system.

Wow. What a great post! I am afraid this country has thrown the idea of critical thinking out the window. The Rethugs jumped all over the opportunity to disassemble the Dept. of Education. Reagan came into the White House with a clear agenda to rip federal education to shreds. He did it in California when he was governor and couldn't wait 'til he was president to begin the dismantling federal programs.

The retags work every day to bring down our educational systems so what is happening today will continue to work in their favor. Even "educated" kids today have no real sense of history, of abstract or critical thinking. The idea of a liberal arts style curriculum being placed into public schools is so far out of the realm of possibility we have become a danger to the world.


The idea that we may never return to a high school graduate being as intelligent those from 1940, those students that could graduate from school, go out get a job, support a family or go to a good college should be a kick in the gut. Your breath should rush out of your lungs and bowl you over. The intelligence lost, the possibilities for our country, our world, our very survival has been taken away by 400 families. We should be fighting in the streets for our kids to get THE best possible education possible.

Critical thinking in this country is a thing of the past.
