Health Care and Civil Rights


I have followed the Health Care debate from the time Obama mentioned it during his campaign to the vote last night. First, I was shocked that everyone got mad for doing what he said he would do all along when the majority elected him. And Now, Wow.

Today on my FACEBOOK I have heard: Socialist State, End of the world as we knew it, I'm moving to Australia, etc.

I am reminded of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. LBJ pushed it through after JFK was shot. If FACEBOOK had been around the same statements would have been heard. Oklahoma and the South was ALL DEMOCRAT ALL THE TIME until it was passed and almost over night Oklahoma elected its first Republican Governor, ever. Now all the South and Oklahoma is REPUBLICAN and are against any further inference by big government unless its war. that is good for the economy!

The funny thing is the Civil Rights act was a process that took along time to sort out. I'm sure the same will happen with the Health Care bill.

Shortly after Civil Rights came the Vietnam War which all conservatives supported with the motto: Love or Leave it.

I guess that's what the person going to Australia decided.
