Those of us who have been Disney fans for many years have heard of the "Prarie Home Companion" by Garrison Keillor. It was a charming series of stories about small town adventures and misadventures. Often time quite funny.
Now it seems that Mr Keillor is not as charming as his tales. In his editorial today at Salon.Com (Cut Republicans Out of Healthcare) he opines that Republicans should be cut off from healthcare once the public option is passed.
He focuses on the age old caricature of Republicans as wealthy old white men. He state's "Old men shouldn't be allowed to doze off at the switch and muck up the works for the young who will have to repair the damage. Get over yourselves. Your replacements have arrived, and you should think about them now and then."
Garrison Kiellor the elite wealthy old white man has no understanding of who is truly behind the opposition to the healthcare debacle. So to him I say the following...
Mr. Keillor,
I read your Op Ed… Guess what, I am not an old man. I am 36 Years old with 3 very young children. Your arrogance blinds you to reality. The replacements for the next generation are people like me. I am terrified of having ANY government intervention into the care of my 3 beautiful children. Most young future leaders in my position are in agreement with me. We have seen what your generation is preparing to leave us and we will have a big enough mess to clean up without rationed healthcare.
Mr. Keillor, Get over yourself old man.
