Re: "What is he doing in Congress?" from the April 5th edition of the Augusta Chronicle editorial page.
Michael Ryan makes a big deal about comments Congressman Phil Hare made which were obviously taken out of context. Here's the truth. Some Tea Partiers were harrassing him in a little meeting that is available on youtube. When asked about the constitutionality of the Health Care Refrom Law, he carelessly said, "I don't worry about the Constitution on this, to be honest."
Obviously, he meant he didn't worry that it was unconstitutional, but conservatives stupidly insisted he was saying he didn't care about the constitution. I hate people like this...they take a statement somebody misspeaks out of context and totally twist it around to mean something else.
All those tea partiers are a bunch of stupid assholes and so is Mr. Ryan.
To make matters worse, Hare stupidly didn't know where in the constitution a Health Care Reform Law was legal. The answer was easy--the Commerce Clause.
Hare screwed up, and conservative shitheads jumped all over it.
The stupidest thing about Mr. Ryan's column though was his ridiculous claim that "No one in America goes without health care..."
What fantasy world does he live in? According to the American Journal of Public Health, an estimated 45,000 Americans die every year because they have no health insurance. www.cnn.com/2009/Health?09/18/deaths.health.insurance/

In another idiotic column below the one I commented on above entitled "Trawling for scapegoats," Mr. Ryan takes issue with Henry Waxman for wanting to know why big corporations are using the passage of the Health Care Reform Law as an excuse to cheat on their taxes.
I, for one, am a big fan of Henry Waxman. He's one of the few congressman who actually does his job.
Mr. Ryan thinks AT&T is going to be losing money because of changes due to the health care law. How stupid? AT&T is not going to lose money.
Mr. Ryan writes, "It's simply frightening what this country has come to."
Why? Because big corporations are going to have to give decent benefits to their workers?

In the coming months, I will be confronting the Augusta Chronicle on their Twitter page about the lies, the defamation of hippies (which are the ONLY true Americans), for slandering progressives and advocating violence against progressive pols.
