[Marxism] National Security vs Health Care

["Tony Abdo" <gojack10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that 2004 is shaping up as the grand battle between Tweedle Dee
(health care) and Tweedle Dum (national security).     Tweedle Dee, the
ladies, has the AFL-CIO and the DNC  working full time for their cause.
While Tweedle Dum, the gentlemen, have all the VFW, National Rifle
Association, cop associations, and Enron types working full blast for them.
  Yes, thanks to market research science, we can now successfully detect
the principle gender of both Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Tweedle Dum strives to present himself as a cross between Arnold (not the
pig), John Wayne, and Father Knows Best.   While his detractors like to
present him as some sort of psycho big banana cowboy.

Tweedle Dee likes to present herself as being a caring and thoughtful
person, while her detractors accuse her of being a whining lesbo, ready to
pull a bobbit on America while he sleeps.

Through the last year, the Bush people have been trying to claim the role of
Health Care Reformers!    They have presented themselves as guardians of
patient privacy, and now helper-outers of the elderly.    Please take all
your pills now.     All without increasing taxes, which is their claim of
what full medical coverage for all would do.

And on the other side of the sexual divide, Dee has been claiming to be
tougher on security than given credit for.    She can be a pistol packing
momma who can take 'em on, if you bring 'em on, too.    Not true that she
would immasculate America!    Don't hold Vermont against her.

As we can see, there are some serious issues between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle
Dum, and we can expect the audience to get fully engaged in their support
for their side of this battle between health and security.     Many of the
Dee partisans work in the Health Care Business, and often do not have health
care coverage themselves, as they wipe the asses of the Dum partisans that
have become injured, usually due to some sort of risky behavior.    And many
of the Dum partisans directly owe their income and pride to the benevolence
of the multitude of security aparratusses they are tied to, heart and soul.
  They are not about to let themselves be turned into atheistic pansies.

The plain fact is, that the US 'elections' have been turned into another
episode of the Jerry Springer Show.      But some very real passions will
begin to flow within the audience.     Please don't let your participation
get out of hand.      Realize that is nothing more than a show, a fiction,
and is not real.

Tony
