The talking heads are fixated on how the vote on the health care bill is not taking place right away. They say the Republicans have not delivered on their promise. They scream about the plan being developed in secret. They keep running sound bites. They want to instill panic or force rash behavior.
Enjoy. This is the process of a republic. There is a reason why dictatorships are more efficient than democratic processes. This is how it is supposed to work. The wonks and type A politicians try to tell us what we should do. The statesmen who care about principle say, “Slow down. Let us read it. What’s the hurry.” The discussion continues and in the end no one gets all that they want but you come up with compromises that everyone can live with.
It is call the democratic process. It is not pretty. It takes time. It is frustrating. It is not efficient. It is the way it is supposed to work.
Relax.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

What concerns me is that, unlike democrats, every time the republicans get any power, they blow it EVERY TIME with their infighting.
ReplyDeleteI hear you but if Lucy is the only one who will hold the football you have to keep kicking.
DeleteGrace and peace.
I do hope they read it before they vote on it, unlike Obamacare.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I am not concerned about the extra time this is taking.
