Interesting thing about the conservatives, and this whole healthcare blowup: (at least to me, in a philosophical sense) The GOP, as they are so fond of repeating, is the "party of God." They like to play up their connections to Christianity because it gets them votes. Yet, Christianity is based on the idea of loving thy neighbor, and being judged by how you treat the least of those among you. Conservatives take special pains to single out single mothers, the poor, illegal immagrants, gays... basically anyone they can demonize...and use the fear in the general population, in order to gain votes and power. These are the very people that Christ said they should be reaching out to, in order to help. Instead, they say that it will cost too much, it would send the wrong moral message (?!) and cut into our profits... (Imagine Daffy Duck hiding his treasure screaming, "IT'S MINE I TELL YOU! MINE MINE MINE!!!) Instead, this work of building a truely christ-like society is left up to the Dems, for the most part. This includes healthcare... which is helping to ease the suffering of the afflicted. (You know, like that Jesus guy healing lepers, and curing the blind, etc.) So in a general sense, the conservatives are fake Christians. They put their money before their fellow man. They serve Ceasar (call them what you like... the military, big oil, special interests like insurance companies) rather than God, and do not follow Christ's example. They are hypocrites of the highest order. At least, that's the way it has always seemed to be to me... just sayin...
