Is it the hypoCRITIC oath then?

Doctors take an oath to do no harm, they call it the Hippocratic oath. It is based on the ideas of a greek guy named Hippocrates a LONG time ago, the most known part and basic command of the oath is “First do no harm.” Sounds good right? But it seems when it comes to politics we have a whole other view point, I am going to call it the hypocRITIC oath. And to sum it up I think it would say… “ blame others for the very thing you are guilty of doing while hiding (or trying to hide) that you are doing it. The problem is that the most egregious offenders are those who call themselves open minded or liberal or progressives. About 8 years ago I saw people who were devout to their party (democrat) go absolutely ballistic over the idea of George W Bush Having another term in office. I saw them Literally do everything they could to discredit him. People I knew and thought of as friends looked like they were really possessed by Satan himself. They would turn purple, not just red but actually dark purple, in the face ranting over how bad George Bush was. They crowed and strutted around when they were describing how they went to a rally in favor of the president and disrupted it. On one occasion the person in question actually was bragging that he got into an actual physical fight with others over the issue. They were proud of the division and pain they were causing, they were happy to be "civilly disobedient". They used words that I could not repeat to my mother, they used terms that were so offensive to people of sensibility that I felt like we had devolved into a barbaric culture from yesteryear. Some of those friends even broke off their life long friendship/s with me the day that I simply wore a sticker that said “Bush – Cheney ’04.” (I did not have to say anything at all). And yet those self same people are now screaming bloody murder saying that Republicans or conservatives are spreading hate speech for simply saying “I think Obama has not been a very good president.” They seem to want everyone, who thinks we need someone else in office, to be thrown in jail because clearly all of those people are (a) Racist, (b) hateful, (c) stupid and (d) anything else they can think of that is negative. And that all just HAS to be a jailable offense. Then there is the WAY they argue their point/s. When they are losing they always have to change their argument to another tack just so they can try to win. If that doesn’t work they have to belittle their opponents by claiming their ideas are “merely anecdotal” the point doesn’t count unless it is one that is made by THEIR side of the argument. Well here is an Anecdote to illustrate my point. I actually got into a discussion on a social media site, my view is that Obama care, as described is supposed to help the people of the United states get better/cheaper health care. I believed and still do believe that Obama care has failed in that regard. Whereas the opposing view was that Obama care was working out just fine thank you very much. To illustrate his point he gave me a hyperlink, the link led to a site where it said “Obamacare is working says major health insurers". I then did the unthinkable, I read the article. Then I did something equally evil, I used my brain. In the article I read, it mentioned several points that Actually worked in my favor on the argument. In fact here they are. (1) The HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES are the ones saying “hey this is a good thing” (Note NOT regular people, big business is saying it!) Well of course the Health companies think this is a good thing, they are getting lots more money (the article said the companies “posted ‘record’ profits for the quarter”). (2) The article admitted that the Insurance companies stated the reason for this was because they had “more people sign up who do not need Health insurance because they tend to be healthier.” How is that helping these people that they are paying for something they do not need? (3) And yes the article also mentioned that some of the people were getting benefits in a reduction on prescriptions but the overall percentage of good was so small that it was negligible. I pointed all this out to my “debate opponent” and instantly he had to switch the subject. He tried to redirect me to ANOTHER hyperlink, again I read it and summarized it for him. In the meantime he posted 5 more hyper links so by the time I posted my response to his second there were MANY more to deal with. Then He jumped in whining that I “did not read the article/s and was unable to keep up so OBVIOUSLY I was a small minded, hypocritical, knee jerk, reactionary (probably racist and maybe stupid or at least uneducated) conservative who was not reading his points. (After all he is a noble, brave, educated, strong and loving liberal who wants nothing more than the best for his fellow man.) In other words I was able to concisely and accurately refute his argument, so he had to rush around trying everything he could to make me the bad guy. Every time I had a point it was “anecdotal”, or it was “iffish, produced by people who have a grudge against the president.” Every time he had a point it was “clearly a real example of how life works the way [he] says” even when the point he made was based on articles that SAID they were Anecdotal and based on incomplete or unscientific surveys. Here is a message for all of you, All of our lives we have to base our decisions on evidence and experience that we have in our lives. That means that sometimes our decisions or ideas are going to be based on “anecdotal” things. Our experience/s and thoughts are what shape us into who we are. That is what leads us to the way we think about things. So maybe we should not poo poo things that are “anecdotal”. Those “anecdotes” are what hit us where we live. And often those same anecdotes are at the very least symptomatic of the problem we are facing. So if a conservative might say to you that he or she doesn’t like the idea of voting for Obama because he hasn’t solved the job problem. Don’t call them racist, don’t say they are hateful. Think about where they are! Maybe they say that because of their personal experience but that is what we all have to deal with. I will vote for the guy who is going to do what I see as the right thing. I do not vote based on race or on religion. and for the love of Pete... Stop with the hypocrisy!
