TRULY BLUE BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL

Truly Blue Bleeding Heart Liberal

Introduction

 

   

Progressive who's learning what works and what doesn't work by being confrontational.

And I'm beginning to find it somewhat amusing how even the Liberals and Progressives accuse me of being confrontational sounding the same as when Conservatives say,

"PROGRESSIVES!" or "YOU'RE A LIBERAL?!"

Confront?  Confrontational?  Confront?  Confrontational.

That's not a dirty word either, and I take pride in this.

As all progress is a negotiation, how can there be any progress without someone first forcing the negotiations?  

But in America this day and age,  the real problem isn't that there is no negotiation (our  politician being the bad people), but with the people who elects them.  

There is no attempt for genuinely honest/fair/reasonable discussions among them, first,  when it comes to solving the worlds problems.  How the fuck would the public know who the right persons are sending to Washington?

The same as medical doctors are required so many hours Continuing Education Credits yearly in order to keep practicing medicine, Continuing Education Credits should be required in order to vote.  

With today's digital age and every one's OCD preoccupations with their little gadgets/toys,  all one needs to do is ties access to infomercials/CE credits to these phones along with cellphone ownership being considered a privilege, not a right.

You abuse it...

You lose it. 

Bragging rights

Still alive somehow when apparently ...

"BIGGEST ASSHOLE THERE EVER WAS?"

If leaning that far left,

then what the fuck am I...?

Had one guy tell me,

"So you're a Socialist."

"No, not really," 

I answered back to him.  

"I'm actually for... 

a form of capitalism known 

as 

'bottoms up capitalism' as opposed to 'trickle down economics'.  Jobs...NEED...to be available for those genuinely wanting to work."

My own mother, 

in the beginnings of conundrum found myself four years ago and still ongoing, 

said to me, 

"Get a job at McDonald's."

"No," 

came my answer without needing giving it a seconds thought.  

"This would be taking away an entry level job from some young person just needing a lucky break or an older person desperately needing that job .  Not about to do this just to extend the life of one becoming hopeless."

This is not even getting into how my hearing impairment would have most likely disqualified me for a job at McDonald's if already having met a quota keeping up public appearances.  Hell. I don't even know how to operate a cash register.  

My own mother still not able empathizing with her own son.

Believe this is roughly when I stopped paying the premiums on my health insurance.

"I'll pay for it," 

my mother quickly reacted upon hearing my plans discontinuing health insurance.

"No mother.  

STILL...you are...NOT...getting my point."  

This was not the reaction trying to provoke from my mother.  Instead, ended up with me following through with it. We have not said another word about it since.

Although still an avid Obama supporter; 

now a criminal in violation of Obama Care.

I believe some of this, also, is aimed at my distant cousin Mike Avery Ross, now running for governor of Arkansas; poster child for Democratic opposition to Obama Care as well as having voted against the Matthew Shepard James Byrd Hate Crime Act.

"WE DON'T NEED UNIVERSAL 
HEALTH CARE! THEY GET IT FOR FREE!"

~(Dr. Johnson/Beaver Crossing A.H.)~

"Why have insurance then?

LOSE IT!!!"

~(James E. Avery, Herd Health Medicine)~

This exchange happened between me and another doctor one day filling in as a relief veterinarian for one of his three associates.

Startled him alright. 

Not the first time left him speechless, either. 

But he always got over it.

"Thank him for us; would you."

~(Dr. Johnson)~

Had just pointed out that, U.S. Representative 4th District of Arkansas making the news during legislation for "Obama Care", Blue Dog Democrat Mike Avery Ross...

was my cousin.

 

"Are you aware that our deceased frugal Republican father charged just as much delivering...BLACK...babies as he did a white baby.  Yet... it was his party's politics holding them back from their fair chance at a slice of the American pie?"

~(Simply Jim:  Mature Methodist Crackhead)~ 

"Yes Jim Ed.  I'm aware of this.  BUT...he sent them...ONE FINAL BILL.  And they...STILL...didn't finish paying him back."
