Poll: Health Care Law Repealed?

Apparently almost half of America either believes that the Health Care Law passed in 2009 was repealed or might have been repealed according to a new poll. Seriously, WTF America?!?

How can we live in the 'information age' and have so many misinformed people? Are folks really that dumb or are they just willfully ignorant to the facts? Unfortunately, this isn't the only major issue people are clearly misinformed about.

In 2010, a poll was taken where only 12% of people correctly knew that President Obama actually lowered their taxes while 24% believed their taxes were raised. Even scarier, as the year went on, the number of people who believed they were paying higher taxes actually grew!

By election day in November 2010, 52% of likely voters wrongly believed their taxes went up during Obama's first two years in office.

Then you got those kooks who believe that our US president isn't even a US citizen. Of course, if there were a single ounce of credible proof of this, Barack Obama would have to step down as president. Obviously, that hasn't happened.

A poll of GOP voters in 2010 showed that an eye-popping 72% of them were either unsure of his US citizenship or believed he was not a US citizen at all. Clearly such beliefs aren't based on facts so why are so many people willing to accept false information as truth?


For some, the origins of false beliefs simply come from hate (see photo above). For others, it's a matter of ignoring the facts because it plays into how they feel about those who are different from themselves (i.e. political views, skin color, religion, etc.). Still, the fact that this many people accept these lies and falsehoods for truth is really quite alarming.

How are we to be the greatest country on earth when we have this many tool boxes in our shed? Stop choosing to be 'morans' America.

Let's Euthanize Granny!!

Why should we continue to let all the old people in America burden our healthcare system with their countless ailments and diseases that are just going to lead to them dying off anyway? As we know, the pending Democratic-supported healthcare bill has a solution built right into it: euthanize old people. Let's face it -- it makes a lot of sense.

Old people are the ones who keep our insurance rates high because they're always sick. Why should the rest of us who are not old and sick have to pay so much for insurance when we're the ones barely using it? Letting the old people croak is actually an efficient way to fix the broken healthcare system.

Oh, so you think I sound crazy, huh? Well, that's the point.

Who the fuck would support any bill that believed we should euthanize our seniors?!? The answer: NO ONE. Neither President Obama nor any Democrat in Congress supports such a thing. Who in their right mind would believe this nonsense anyway?? Well... Republicans do.


I swear these people are willfully ignorant. They choose to believe the lies and rumors they hear from the most unreliable sources and allow themselves to be convinced they are fact.

This whole Obama-is-going-to-euthanize-Granny crap started when a Congressman thought it might be a good idea for the government to pay for a fully elective visit to your doctor where you can discuss your end-of-life care / living-will. Why is this a good idea? For starters, so you don't end up like her forcing family members argue over your fate...

It's indeed true that the cost of those who express their end-of-life care to their doctor and/or in a living-will is statistically lower. When you don't linger around longer than you want to, there are less expenses in result. Of course, if you wanna lay there brain-dead for a few extra months until your organs can no longer function -- you'll still have that right too.

This helpful option has been twisted so awfully that some old people are now believing that the government is going to force them to chose how they are going to die. Good grief...


Honestly, the angry organized mobs we now see at town meetings are the fault of every Democrat in Washington who couldn't muster up the testicular fortitude to pass a healthcare bill before they left for their summer break. Now they are suffering the consequences as they go back home. Of course, WE will suffer the consequences when they come back and either don't pass the thing or give us a watered-down version that won't be good enough.

Well If The Martians Aren't Worried...

Did you know that those who go around claiming that global warming is a myth are now citing the fact that the temperatures on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are also rising? Yes, really. I heard this one on the Sean Hannity radio show on Thursday.

First off, conservatives need to get their stories straight. While they often call global warming a myth, they are using examples like this to claim that it all may just be some general warming within our solar system. Even if that were the case, wouldn' they then finally have to admit that it's actually happening? Well, they're not exactly saying that either.

The thing I found especially humorous in this example is that we already know Martians, Jupiterians and the Saturians aren't affected by the warming in the same way we are. Is it their ability to deal with the heat better than we can or is it that they are better at living under ground than we are? No. It's because they don't fucking exist!!


The combined living population on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn is zero. The temperatures on those planets can rise 100-degrees in a single day and while all kinds of crazy atmospheric shit might happen, it ain't gonna affect one life on those planets. On our planet, though, it's quite a different story.

Whether people believe global warming is man-made or just a natural cycle really doesn't matter. Humanity is headed for some big trouble if people don't collectively decide to counter the warming that is going on. Citing the rising temperatures on three other sister planets doesn't then mean that we shouldn't do anything about our own problems with such warming.

I think Al Gore put it best. He said that it may cost a lot to counter global warming and some might say it's too expensive to address, but if you do nothing and the planet gets too hot, what good will all the saved money be worth when it's too late?

The reality of global warming isn't going to mean more of this...


The reality of global warming is going to lead to more of this...
