Obstructionists Never Have A Happy Day



Obstructionists never have a happy day -- they only have yappy days.

Looking at the people who try to block health care reform reminds me that many of them purport to support the right to live. But as Barney Frank (D-Mass) says it best, they "believe life beings at conception and ends at birth."

Don't tell me you support the right to life if you think patients should die horrible painful deaths from medical malpractice due to doctors' neglect. Don't tell me you support the right to life if you think people should be denied essential care if, as in the words of one First Coast doctor, a board-certified misanthrope, who recently sentenced a local man to die because "you're dirt poor."

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who discriminate and retaliate against those who cannot defend themselves.

Obstructionists to health care reform are little different than segregationists, without the sheets. They hide behind credentials. They're wrong.

"Physician, heal thysellf."
