American Life League Urges Tea Parties to “Bury Obamacare With Kennedy”

Apparently the following sign is being passed out widely at today’s rightwing crank rally in DC



The distributor looks to be the American Life League; apparently the kind of pro-life organization that thinks that it would be terrible if people who get sick could have access to medical care:



At any rate, the ALL/healthcare nexus mostly seems to me to be emblematic of the knee-jerk quality of the whole thing. As we know, back in November most people voted for Barack Obama. Most people voted for a Democratic House candidate. And most people voted for a Democratic Senate candidate. Today, most people prefer Obama’s approach to the approach of congressional Republicans. But this is a very large country. And a large minority of the population is out of step with the views of the minority. You’ve got your anti-abortion guys, your tenthers, your birthers, your Medicare-hating congressmen, etc. Something called the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights is among the sponsors of the rally.

And so, fine, there are a lot of people with far-right political opinions. But the idea that this is actually some kind of response to specific things Barack Obama has done is pretty off-base. It’s just the usual suspects getting fired up.

They only want to force the birthing process, regardless of the circumstances. However, once you're born, you're on your own kid.

If they were actually for "life" than they would be on the front lines championing universal health care for all, sensible sex education in the schools, a solid and stable social net for the very poor and the very sick among us... you know, life sustaining kinds of things.

There wouldn't be a deafening silence when one of them assassinates a doctor, nurse or security guard at a women's clinic. The assassination is the taking of a life. And isn't all life precious? That is one of their slogans, correct?

They are not for life. They are for forcing the birthing process.
