The right wing talking heads and the hate mongers who are always negative about any kind of progress or reform, are symbolically having their heads explode with the news that:
General Colin Powell supports a single payer health care system as the ultimate answer to the problem of health coverage.
Pope Francis has been named as the PERSON OF THE YEAR by Time Magazine, a richly deserved honor, and a hope for reform of the Catholic Church from its backward, regressive nature!
These are two pieces of news that brighten the day, and both men are great figures in world affairs.
But it will cause Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and the other right wing extremists, along with most of the Republican Party in Congress and in state governments, to be furious beyond belief, raising their blood pressure!
Anytime the right wing suffers a defeat or a loss, is a moment to celebrate, and it reminds us of the poison they spew against our courageous, principled President, who takes the attacks with equanimity, and goes about his business of doing what must be done to advance the nation for all of us, not just the elite wealthy!
This is a day to celebrate! Hallelujah!
Their latest poutrage is the handshake yesterday. Ridiculous!
There are plenty of videos and photos of them shaking hands with dictators and tyrants, so they have no room to talk.
“Time” is irrelevant.
The people there know Edward Snowden should have been named “Person of the Year” for 2013.
“Time” is a cowardice and useless publication.
I think the Pope deserves the honor more than Snowden.
