“RAFAEL NADAL” PORTRAIT
Here is the first new cartoon I’ve done in several months. A little
background for the unfamiliar. The Republican Party has been labeling
President Obama’s health care reform proposals as “Fascist.” This is beyond
laughable and the Republicans have no business labeling ANYONE Fascist after
the past eight years of GW Bush. This is the paramount of hypocrisy.
For various health reasons, I have not felt up to drawing much. This cartoon
is not really of any international interest but it is a response to the
ridiculous attempts in the US by the Republican Party and other far right
factions to block meaningful health care reform. They are operating as the
soldiers of the corporate controlled health care industry. Using dangerous
mouth pieces in the media like Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck has only incited
the ignorant and misinformed to become dangerous at town hall meetings held
to discuss health care reform proposals. At the current level of incitement
by these media frauds, it is only a matter of time before some standard
issue armed US wacko unleashes deadly violence at one of these meetings.
Only just the other day, not very many miles from where I live, in a
non-health care related incident) there was another mass shooting by a
psychotic. This time it was an attack on an exercise club. These type of
incidents seem to be a growing national hobby.
As you may or may not know, the US is the only country in the industrialized
world not to have some form of universal medical insurance for its citizens.
The health system is, for the most part (except for the elderly and disabled
enrolled in a government plan) profit driven. Can anyone outside the US even
imagine the idea of profiting off a person’s need for health care?
Even if the subject has no meaning to you, I hope you will be able to enjoy
it for other reasons. I hope all is well with everyone.
David Baldinger
