Saw this yesterday.
Now, I think this is interesting because it shows the mindset of a certain segment of healthcare reform opponents.
But then I started thinking about my visceral reaction to the speakers. It was more than disagreement; they make my skin crawl. I see them not so much as on the wrong side of an issue, but as sick and seriously delusional.
The religious point man for this group is anti gay crusader, Lou Engle, whom you can hear speaking in an anti gay rally. The sight of US Senators sitting, listening to this man with bowed heads, profoundly disturbs me.
Is this just another point of view, religiously inspired? Should I respect their heartfelt beliefs and give them the respect that religion demands, or should I follow my own heart, point the finger at them, and state my own belief -- that this is a sickness infecting America?
