Nothing to Fear But the Public Option ItselfIn this one-minute clip from Think Progress, Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina explains why the proposed health care reform should terrify Americans even more than the threat of terrorism.
That's right: the public option is of greater concern to Foxx than Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and terrorist groups yet unknown. In just one minute, she used the word "frightened" twice to describe the feeling of people in her district, and "fear" a total of seven times.
Talk about freaking people out. I'm glad I didn't see the rest of the speech -- I might have trouble falling to sleep tonight (that is, if I had bought a word of what she said).
What do you think? Is a public option something to be scared of, or should we be more wary of fearmongers like Virginia Foxx?

Whats firghtening is how many people think the government can create a utopia and take care of their every need.
The evil Obama empire needs to pass this bill quickly as the American people(the majority) do not want it.
The Obama admin couldn't even handle the H1N1 vaccine and you want to give them the entire healthcare system? Now thats scary.
I watched "Sicko," the Michael Moore documentary on health care the other day. I was amazed at how many other countries have good governmental health care plans. Their citizens just take it for granted that their needs will be met, and they are. Our problem is that we are a much bigger country. If there are any problems in the plan they are bigger problems. Americans just need to get over it, move on, adopt the plan, and then iron out the resulting problems like we have always done. Rejecting it isn't going to work. The whole health care system is broke and needs to be fixed.
