Health Care Reform Becomes Law: Shaun Hautly

We have a system of checks and balances. An American system where "majority rules." So it's safe that so that if our REPRESENTATIVES are representing their constituents who selected them by majority, then the majority of representatives, selected by the majority of their constituents wanted to pass health care reform. Call it the nuclear option, call it whatever you'd like. There is NO WAY to pass a vote through our government that requires less than half of the voters to support it. America just voted to pass Health Care Reform because THAT'S WHAT AMERICA WANTED.

NOW, conservatives, buckle up, this is going to be hard to hear: Barack Obama won the presidency because more Americans wanted him in office. All the decisions and bills that he has helped advance were not MANDATED by him. He has Veto power. That's all. No scepter by which to dictate America. So before you go and hate him for it, all he did was sign the bill that our representatives got to him. He sat down with both sides and listened to arguments for MONTHS until finally something was created that was agreeable enough to vote through. He didn't even get to vote!

Now conservative bloggers have released the addresses of Democratic politicians and encouraged  their pro-gun followers to drop by. Democratic offices have been vandalized in the name of what? This is America. If you have a problem with a fellow American. USE THE SYSTEM. That's what the democrats had to do to get health-care through. They didn't terrorize or threaten republicans. No republican offices were vandalized because Dems weren't getting their way. This petty, BiPartisan shit has got to stop. There are two sides (At least) to every decision and it's so sad that we waste time worrying about one side or the other instead of looking at ourselves as ONE Nation and trusting a majority. This system was established by our founding fathers because it works. If you're truly a patriot, then please honor them by honoring the system they gave us to ensure that our country could never become a dictatorship. Let's be diplomatic and not stupid. It's just healthcare and taxes. Not worth death threats or vandalism. Grow up.
