Alert the CDC - Maureen Down is Contageous
 
 
The Center for Disease Control needs to be alerted - there's no doubt
Maureen Down has come down with a dangerous and contageous affliction .  In
her latest syndicated editorial, she states Congressman Joe Wilson's blurted
interruption of Obama's speech was a "racist" comment.  Now, besides the
"fact" that Congressman Wilson's outburst never referenced anything to do
with race, you have to realize that Ms. Dowd has been victimized by
contracting "Chicken Little" Syndrome.
 
This is a terrible disease that seems to spread among liberals more than
anyone else to the point where it looks like a pandamic could be starting.
It would appear this disease causes well-educated adults to bypass simple
common sense and logic, and jump to absurd conclusions based on little
information - or none at all.  So, if you were walking under an oak tree and
an acorn falls on your head, then surely you would ummediatley conclude the
sky is falling.  Likewise, if you, a white person, accuse a president of
lying, who just happens to be black, then you must be a racist.
 
This is all besides the fact that Congressman Wilson was correct in his
accusation of Obama.  The one thing his outburst caused was for the nation
to look up and read what the Obamacare Bill (HR 3200) actually says.  Upon
reading it, the reader learns what the bill says is no one seeking medical
care can be asked to provide proof of his/her citizenship - and once they
receive any kind of care they would immediately be enrolled into the
program.  That means an illegal alien could walk into any hospital or
clinic, not even be able to speak a word of English (to where it's obvious
they are likely illegal), yet the hospital staff are forbidden by law to
inquire to their residency or citizen status.
 
So, while HR 3200 might not specifically say illegal aliens are included in
the bill's medical coverage, in effect they are.  And if Congressman Wilson
or I am wrong, then why is it that the Senate (in their version of a
healthcare reform bill) specifically states that a person "must prove
citizenship" to receive care?  Clearly, the Senate caught on to what the
language of the bill implied.
 
Oh, but let us not forget on countless occassion when Democratic members of
Congress - many of them black - used to call President Bush a liar.  Where
was Ms. Dowd then?  I guess Chicken Little Sydrome didn't kick in until a
black man was elected to the White House.
