The Gadfly truly has no more fucks to give when it comes to the subject of civil discourse with these modern-day conservative sociopaths. Not one, single, crappy fuck does The Gadfly have left to give.
And here's a prime example as to why that is:
Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) proposed on Friday that hospital emergency rooms should be able to turn patients away to help keep health care costs down.
“I’m an emergency room nurse,” Black told MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Friday. “There are people that came into my emergency room that I, the nurse, was the first one to see them. I could have sent them to a walk-in clinic or their doctor the next day, but because of a law that Congress put into place to say, no, I have to treat everybody that walks into that emergency room.”

First they do everything in their power to strictly limit access to, or even completely eliminate affordable health care for millions of income-strapped Americans, meaning that a lot of people (prior to the ACA) were left with no economic choice other than their local hospital emergency rooms for their primary medical care.
And now they want to remove that already desperate option as well.
How about we just cut to the fucking chase here mkay? The modern-day conservative movement is a goddamn sadistic death cult. Money and unregulated capitalism are these conservative's gods, and they are determined to have no other gods before or beside those.
It's nauseating for The Gadfly to think that this conservative Republican congress critter woman from Tennessee was an actual "emergency room nurse" before dumping that, apparently unrewarding career, for that of a soulless politician suckling at the taxpayer teat.
Just the mere thought of this small-minded, prejudicial "nurse" with her incomplete medical training, mingled with her vindictive political dogma - and others who think like her - getting to decide who is worthy of receiving emergency room medical treatment and who is not in a hospital setting, just roils The Gadfly's gut.
But look at who it is that these people have chosen as their leader. Drumpf is a callous bedlamite who has about as much capability of demonstrating empathy for another suffering human being, as The Gadfly has the capability for keeping his damn opinions to his self. Conservatives are Drumpf. Drumpf is them.
And, gallingly, they all actually dare to gather among themselves and publicly celebrate and gloat about their superior moral "values" - values that many of them will proudly tell you, are divinely inspired by their chosen god.
As such, it should be of no shock to any of you dear readers that The Gadfly feels that these modern-day conservative's idea of god and The Gadfly's idea of god reside in opposite galaxies. To put it bluntly - The Gadfly is of the view that their world is a hell of a lot darker, more hopeless and infinitely more miserable place than The Gadfly cares to live out the remainder of his life in.
Thomas Paine once wrote:
“It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine, and murder; for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man.”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
You can't get much more of an absolute definition of the word cruel, than the view which postulates that it should be permissible to deny people medical treatment who seek care at a hospital emergency room. That is cruel deluxe and there ain't no amount of creative bible verse quoting that will mitigate that reality.
Ergo -- Diane Black's wiki page, aside from saying she has a net worth of around $30 million (yeah - she got that rich on a nurses salary), also says that she believes in a god. The Gadfly is going to stipulate for the record here then that Diane Black's god is a cruel and heartless sonofabitch, and one sorry excuse for a deity. The Gadfly will also stipulate that it is quite evident to any honest observer, that her god also appears to be the predominant one among her political crowd as well as with the Drumpf sycophants. And that's all that needs to be said.
