Why is it that republicans want to privatize everything except privacy?

With the Schiavo case, the gov't is getting involved in what should have been a private family matter.

The gov't is also trying to force itself into gay and lesbian lives, telling them what they can and cannot do with their lives (don't ask, don't tell).

The PATRIOT ACT has on numerous occasions permitted the government to invade people's private lives. It has been used against far more than terrorism.

Why is it that the gov't is trying to control every aspect of the Schiavo case, but then does not want to fund the very programs, such as Medicare/Medicaid, that would pay for Schiavo to survive in the Hospice?

I have heard Bush say many times 'It's your money. You can spend it better than the government.'

What about my time? How can the gov't know better than me what I should do with my life?

How about the Government starts by privatizing privacy?

That one would make a great bumper sticker!

Republicans want to privatize everything except privacy.

I thought about after reading a short but great article about Bush trying to privatize SS.

That should become the Democratic Party's rallying battle cry.

REPUBLICANS WANT TO PRIVATIZE EVERYTHING EXCEPT PRIVACY!

Off to alter my sig...

or, donate the idea to DU and let them put it on a bumper sticker

Risk and responsiblity and cost are all very much socialized.

Consider pollution. The cost of keeping the country clean should be a cost of doing business. Under Idiot, companies can pollute with impunity, leaving the public subject to illness and premature death from the pollution and eventually cleaning up the disaster out of taxypayer funds. The company's major stockholders and executives waltz away with maximum profit, free of all the consequences.

A woman being beaten by her husband decides to flee her abuser. She can't leave her kids there to be suffer in her place.

She runs away, but has no where to go, carrying two kids. Her husband worked, she didn't. Where does she go?

I told a repub aunt this today, and said that this is a very common situation.

Her response: 'Not my problem."

:wow:

It took several seconds for me to recover.

Culture of life. . .
