The Money Changers

I guess that I have had it with the current Republican Party. These people are fueled by hatreds and prejudices and seem to have no compunctions about killing people -- directly in illegal wars to indirect attacks on the medical care of those most desperately in need. The following report from today's NY Times is all too emblematic:

Drug Plan's Side Effect Is Severe
By ALEX BERENSON
With the new Medicare drug program, thousands who take
pills to fight cancer have found themselves with new bills
to pay for their essential medicines.

..................

Needless to say ALL the other (civilized) developed countries make sure that their sick get covered by their nation's resources -- out of far more efficient disbursements of general tax revenues through single payer plans. Only in America have the greedy -- doctors and drug companies -- blocked medical care for all. It is time that we locked up our barbarians. None of these are Christians by any stretch of the imagination -- to call themselves such is a sacrilegious slander. Jesus would be appalled -- as he was by the money changers at the door to the Temple in his own day! [John 2:13-22] One smells here the stench of the anti-Christ.
