A SCARY FANTASY

Today, on the Lawrence O'Donnell Show, (The Last Word) he read the enemy list of the NRA.  He said he couldn't not figure it out. We heard first that there is that list.  When he first talked about it, you can here him here.  Click here.

Lawrence O'Donnell is unable to figure out why the names are on the list of people, organization, unions, hospitals, and many other groups.

My thought is that the NRA has allowed militias to be armed with more ammunition that our police departments have.  They have been able to buy wartime guns for many years now.  For a group that is antisemitic, racially prejudices, fearful of those who treat gun wounds and might object to the NRA, and i am sure I could make a connection for every person or group on the list. 

It distresses me to say , "I have no proof, but it is a consideration I would like to have explored by those who have the capacity to do so.  I do not believe that our government is clueless to these dangerous groups. I believe that the4 NRA cannot have become so powerful without lots of power behind them.  The current power threat away from those behind the government for the past few years  has shifted and there is great unhappiness about it.  All one has to do is watch the faces of the the Republicans who do not want to be doing what they are doing right now.  It was quite apparent during the SOTU. (State of the Union).

THE HOUSE BEATS EVEN PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY FOR MISOGYNY

For those in politics who believe they talk to God, could they ask their God to answer why Republicans are watching American citizens struggling to pay for food and keep a roof over their children, many of whom are malnourished or obese because they can't afford properly balanced food.  .

The new Bill proposed as the Protect Life Act would, in fact, cause deaths.  Calling a pig a poodle will never make it so.  While they profess to want to preserve life, the reality is they do not value life at all.  If they did, they would understand that there is no logic in their arguments.  African children whose parents are deprived of contraceptives are unlikely to live more than a year is many places on earth at the present time.  Starvation, illness, lack of medical care leaves them weaker and weaker until they die, often before reaching a first birthday.  It is difficult for me to fathom how forbidding the parents contraceptives or abortion  knowing they cannot support or save their babies from certain death in a few months.

The latest request by the Republicans in the House, that emergency rooms be permitted to refuse treatment that would end a pregnancy even if it causes the mother's death, is beyond any concept of a modern sense of morality and humanity.

Will the public ever find out who is behind the inhumane positions the House majority is taking?  I can't believe that this number of people see the world so similarly when it is so against everything our society has been taught medically, scientifically, and as positions to prevent crimes against humanity. Are they not getting instruction from a source outside the elected government and believing they are talking to God?.  The Higher Power cannot hate women because it makes more of them and keeps them around longer..
