Another “Fishy” Email from Some Right-Wing “Mob” Member

From: Corey Deitz

To: You Mutton Heads in Congress

Cc: Oh…say can you Cc? (No, you can't.)

Subject: Obama-Care

I know the White House may eventually get its hands on this email thanks to some bleeding-heart liberal so I may have to speak in code. (By the way: how long would a liberal with an actual bleeding heart have to wait to see a doctor under Obama Care?)

I have been identified as a member of some “mob” because I showed up by my own volition at a town meeting hosted by my Congressman and voiced opposition to many of the aspects in the Democratic health reform.

Because I have a contrary opinion, I have been branded a “sore loser” by some on the far-left since as one ideologue reminded me: “We won, you lost.” Well, I am hoping to get this “soreness” treated soon - before it’s classified as a pre-existing condition by Obama Care.

Oddly, the far-left has never had a problem with organizing against whatever ills it believes society should be held accountable for. But, if my conservative friends and I show up at a meeting to protect our rights as patients, our indignation is branded as “Astroturf” by Nancy Pelosi or a “mob” by any number of Democratic operatives.

Well, sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. (Although I feel lucky to have my current health plan since broken bones are almost completely covered with a small deductible.)

As I write this, I’m staring at a container of Fish Oil capsules sitting on my desk which I take because the label states “May Reduce Coronary Heart Disease Risk”. No one told me I had to take the Fish Oil but I do because I’ve read enough positive information about its benefits. I’m probably like many Americans in that respect: give me the information, let me digest it, and I’ll make the right decisions for myself.

Like my conclusion to put myself on Fish Oil therapy, I’m smart enough to check several sources before I make up my mind. And, from what I’ve learned so far, the current Health Care legislation smells about as fishy as the capsules full of Omega-3 that sit in front of me.

Years ago, Americans were often fooled by elixirs that were touted to fix anything that ailed a person. Salesman traveled from town to town, stirred up a crowd and promised them a cure for any disease or condition they had. These people came to be known as Snake Oil Salesmen and what they were selling wasn’t worth the bottle it came in. My gut tells me what Washington is selling isn't worth the paper this legislation is written on.

As for me, I have more trust in the Fish Oil in front of me than the Snake Oil coming out of D.C.
