While browsing amongst the man blogs in the tubez, I came across a wonderful and downright disgusting story all at the same time. A man more or less rescues someone from a mugging, only to be mugged a second time when he attempts to take the man for treatment.
Whatever happened to the world where we used to consider the fellow man, we used to be out there to help each other when times were tough. When did it all change to a what have you done for me lately, or how will that line my pockets with cash? That nurse should be attack by two razorbacks hoped up on crack cocaine. The man was just mugged, he's bleeding everywhere and you're more worried about whether this man can pay for his treatment before you will actually treat him?
The last time I checked health-care was supposed to be about taking care of people and not a business in which you MUST get paid. That right there is the problem, health-care has now become a for-profit business where bottom lines and stock holders matter more then a man recovering from a seizure and mugging.
Lord only knows what would have happened to the man if this good Samaritan hadn't come along and done something. The saddest thing of all is it appears that he is the only one who was willing and actually did something. The other people allowed this to happen, they let the men just walk off into the night. It's stories like this that make me absolutely sick in the world, and with Republicans now that I think about it.
Republicans love to preach family values, morals, and Christian beliefs and yet they are the party that started this entire health-care as a business nonsense get started in the first place. For all you "Christian Republicans" take a long look in the mirror and ask yourselves, would Jesus cut paying for free health clinics? Would Jesus cut funds for homeless shelters? I don't even need to ask you if Jesus would pipebomb and abortion clinic, most of you don't and have never actually listened to the message of Jesus. Jesus taught that you must bring up your fellow man, you help the helpless not bitch and moan because he's a drain on your precious taxes.
It disgusts me to know that I live in a world where something like this is happening. For every "child" who isn't "killed" because you don't agree with the research that another person will come down and eventually die from Parkinsons. That you would rather feel "safe" and bomb those "Islamic heathens" then take care of the hundred of thousands of men, women, children and veterans who are homeless. The millions who cannot afford health-care, even though they work three jobs just to feed their children. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's not a problem...except illegal immigration, can't have THOSE people taking jobs...you know the ones you'd never work.
You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? -Matthew 5:43-47
