1. I just watched Rachel talk about a Republican Senator talking about Bartering for health care.
Edited on Wed Apr-21-10 09:00 PM by RandomThoughts
It sounds crazy, but it could be more about code speak for the religious right.

If she is talking about bartering for goods and services she is probably talking to the religious right about end times and the tribulation. Many of the talk about the tribulation includes Christians forming communities where they barter, it comes from the verses that say nobody will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast. And people are suppose to avoid the mark of the beast at all cost. So she is probably trying to claim or connect government regulation as being that type of thing.

So her talking about bartering for health care, is probably trying to link health care legislation, with the endtimes fear of some on the far right.

Nobody in government is asking a person to worship another person. And it could also be argued that the private sector could be spoken of in the same way.

I try to avoid interpreting but it seems that is a plausible reason for the candidates comment on the topic of Bartering.
