With every legislation or policy thrust upon us by our dear government, we must ask, "Who benefits?". Is it the American people as the left declares? Or is it proponents of a government takeover as suggested by the right? Luckily for you, Coup De Blog doesn't operate on any of the waveforms of that particular political spectrum. As "Upists", we position ourselves above the spectrum, so we are allowed to see things--from not within but--at a vantage point where we can look down and observe the entire scope of American politics.

It should be no surprise that most officials on both sides of the aisle actually wanted the health care bill to pass. Since Democrats paint themselves as the "party of the people" and true advocates of "social change", they were forced to introduce and support legislation that appears to help disadvantaged citizens of the country.

The Republican stance is a little more complex. They, too, have supporters and voters to appease (or to rouse into hysteria) being the minority in both the House and the Senate. By publicly stating their opposition to the bill, they are viewed by their supporters as firm against the government takeover. This was nothing more than an opportunity to have a major issue to argue when mid-term elections (and elections thereafter) came around. Republicans knew they had no chance, but knowing the measures would pass, they positioned themselves strategically much in the same way Obama was positioned in opposition of Bush and Republican's failed wars and economy during his campaign. So, their opposition (or appearance thereof) was nothing more than a show for the voters who believe the Republican Party actually considers what is in the best interests of their constituents.

Republican lawmakers actually supported these bills! When you step out of your position on the political spectrum, you can see how this makes sense. History has proven that conservatives tend to lean toward favoring big business (what do you think the terms 'free market' and 'deregulation' imply?). With the passage of this bill, health care would be mandated, and PRIVATE insurance companies would be given the subsidy monies that is said will be given to insurance purchasers. The government assists citizens--by giving them money--and the citizens then give the money to insurance providers. The American people are mere middle men (not middle class). So, insurance companies receive money from the government via taxes funneled back through the hands of the taxpayers. With nearly 300 million customers, nearly 47 million newly added, the medical industry stands a lot to gain. This pretty much sounds like right-wing socialism to me, but that's an entirely different story.

The debate had nothing to do with abortion or costs. It was all about votes! Both sides will continue to receive hefty campaign contributions; The Democrats for getting it passed, and the Republicans for wheeling and dealing behind closed doors to include amendments and earmarks that benefit their corporate buddies. Nothing has changed. Politicians don't care about you. Politicians only care about one thing... Politics! Wake Up & Smell The B.S.

Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell

I saw a portion of these on MSNBC. I didn't even listen to what the pundits were saying about them afterwards and don't care. These videos are a few of the most PATRIOTIC videos I've seen in a long time! But there is something even more surprising than the videos. PEOPLE TOOK THEM SERIOUSLY! People actually believed that these people actually agreed with the satire they were spitting all over their faces. That is sad... truly sad.

I don't think that it takes a hilarious group of comedians or a clever group of people from all over this country, to realize that we are being raped and manipulated by the powers that be! I do think that if it does take a hilarious group of comedians and a clever group of people from all over this country, to realize this... then, you need to read a damn book!

Things, such as the problems that we are having today, have been going on since the beginning of time. So that means that the people who have been in power since the beginning of time have been using the same tactics against you! You don't want to learn about it. You don't want to read about it. You don't want to listen about it. But, you'll pay attention to some satirical actors? That makes no sense!

Somebody asked me if I thought that those videos were funny and accurate. I replied with an emphatical: "WHY YOU DON'T!?!" There can't be a regular, hard working health care-reform agree-or-disagree American who doesn't take some offence to the true feelings of health care executives. These satirical accounts give you a microscopic glimpse into those feelings. Agree or disagree with reform, you have to agree on the elite greed that has taken our nation captive.

Thank you Will Farrell and others... You are TRUE American Heroes!

Open Your Eyes...That's What They're For!!!


J.R. Junior Says...

Yes. That there is a major problem with Americans; not wanting to know anything. No one wants to pick up a book. Information is flung to them through a TV screen or computer monitor. Those are the only facts Americans are aware of; who's been voted off the show, or what some pundit has told them. (Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.). So satire or fiction is always taken at face value. This guy today told me that he gets his awareness from "watching movies based on true stories". So, six years after something has happened, an instance where a woman hit a man with her car and drove home with the man stuck in her windshield is brought to his attention, and he, now, feels well informed.

We are in a nation whose citizens would much rather follow a televised singing or dance competition that has no bearing on their lives as opposed to a political campaign that will definitely directly affect their everyday lives. And, the same citizens know more about the competitors of the show than they do about their city councilman, representative, or senators. Name your state's senators. How many senators represent your state in the U.S. Senate? Who won American Idol last season? Who was voted off Dancing With The Stars this week?

Well, I'll just end this now, because the more I type, the more I become aggitated and angry with the ignorance lovers of this "great" country. Wake Up And Smell The B.S.
