I consider myself the definition of a conservative. However I do realize that there are always going to be liberals and sometimes they are going to be in power. I'm fine with you guys making my drive to work 20 minutes longer because they had to build the highway around a swamp to save some type of gnat. I'm fine with having to jump through hoops to buy a gun and having to pay damn near a dollar per bullet. I'm fine with paying more and more taxes while watching my community go broke.
But now its looking more and more like my son's health care is in jeopardy. I work hard to pay for his care. I've spent almost $5k this year between insurance and out of pocket costs. We'll be finding out within the next 30 days how much our insurance costs are going to go up because of Obamacare. I already know that I'm going to have to jump through even more hoops to get his diabetes supplies because of it. I'm very scared to see how much the costs do go up. If his health care changes because of this, I'm going to get very worked up. I would guess that the bulk of kids that go to his diabetes doctor are on Medicare. If they have to change the way things work.....I don't even want to think about it.
Mess with me all you want. I'm a big boy. But now you libs are messing with kids' lives just to satisfy your power trips. The straws keep piling on and my back can only take so much.
It's an urban myth-pushed by the insurers-that rising health insurance costs are due to Obamacare. Most of it's provisions don't kick in until 2014. Also, if you have been paying for your health insurance already, then you know that it has been increasing 10-20% each year for at least the last five years-without any "Obamacare" effect to blame it on.
Also, nothing has changed to the stricter regarding gun laws since Obama took office. If your bullets are now more expensive that is purely an effect of capitalism, as hordes of right wingers have been stocking up on guns and ammo since the 2008 election.
Please provide more specific info about the highway work & protecting gnats, because that sounds like absolute total BS. In any event, the EPA laws and regs have not changed since Obama took office anyway so yet again your fury is misplaced.
It's very important for you to discover if your anger is properly directed or whether you are being hoodwinked. It is true that the middleclass has been slipping for years, especially in the last decade and even more so since the recession kicked in. But I see the tea party-funded by billionaires & irate as hell about a marginal 3% tax increase for the top 2% earners in the country-and frankly, I see a lot of people being very adroitly played-to their deteriment.
Back in the late 60's-when the country was tearing apart over Vietnam-there was talk of revolution-it was stupdi fantasies then and infinately moreso now. I doubt the USA will ever suffer a coup/revolution-a far more likely result is fading into insignificance, like Great Britain did after WWII.
