Comment on Health care debate – Angry mobs by Paul

Paul — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:07:59 +0000

It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people. And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown and Katrina but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.

How does shouting down to stop the conversation of the healthcare debate at town hall meetings, endears them to anyone. Especially when the organizations that are telling them where to go and what to do and say are Republicans political operatives, not real grassroots. How does shouting someone down or chasing them out like a lynch mob advanced the debate, it does not. So I think the American people will see through all of this and know, like the teabagger, the birthers, these lynch mobs types are just the same, people who have to resort to these tactics because they have no leadership to articulate what they real want. It’s easy to pickup a bus load of people who hate, and that’s all I been seeing, they hate and can’t debate. Too bad.

The first steps of the fate of american health care reform entrusted to a select group of upper-class men, and one woman.
i wonder what they enjoyed for lunch, after discussing the fates of millions of uninsured people, and deciding against a public option.

Comment on Political Calculus of Health Care by Brittancus

Brittancus — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:46:16 +0000

For months now since Health care reform suddenly become the main issue on the national agenda. We have been bombarded with the incessant accusation that the English/British form of the single-payer system is about unequivocal–RATIONING? YES! This is the truth now, but it wasn’t always that way. It wasn’t until the Globalist plan to take over the originally named Common Market, that health care in England started to suffer. In Jan. 1, 1973, original known to Brits as the Common Market. The “One Market” that was created in 1993 states that people, money, services, and trade can move freely within the European Union. Currently over 450 million EU citizens are provided with these special options.

The indigenous British people’s lives had already been disrupted by the importation of cheap labor from Commonwealth countries to drive the buses and run British Railway. Then family unification started and illegal immigration and the beginning of spiraling crime. RATIONING AND REDUCED HEALTH CARE CAME TO ENGLAND WITH AN OVERLOAD OF LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, SUDDENLY THE UNITED KINGDOM FOUND THEMSELVES IN A TERRIBLE QUANDARY OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS. ALL PAID FOR BY THE BRITISH/ENGLISH TAXPAYER.

In spite of the restrictive immigration policies which have been in place since the 1970s in most Member States Of The European Union, large numbers of legal and illegal migrants have continued to come to the EU together with asylum-seekers and illegal labor. Taking advantage of individuals seeking an improved life, smuggling and skin trafficking networks have taken hold across the EU. The inception of these relative dates in when one of the greatest Universal Health care system, came to a grinding halt of quality.

The system was simple? You paid your insurance stamps and the employer paid his? End of story. The years I worked in the Mother country, I received three minor surgeries, teeth and dentistry, and eye care. WITH NO PREMIUMS, NO-PAYS, NO DEDUCTIONS AND CERTAINLY NO PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS? ONCE I SPENT THREE MONTHS IN EAST GRINSTEAD HOSPITAL WITH A BACK PROBLEM. MY COST–NOTHING! WE CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AND FAMILIES WITH TRILLION DOLLAR HEALTH CARE. IT WILL LEAD TO RATIONING ON A GRAND SCALE! AS ALWAYS THE TAXPAYER WILL FOOT THE BILL FOR BUSINESS WELFARE.

CALL YOUR POLITICIAN IN WASHINGTON 202-224-3121 I Want a health care system–even government run. BUT IT”S SURE TO FAIL, IF TAXES ARE BEING EXTORTED TO PAY FOR FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? Support for the bi-partisan E-VERIFY PART OF THE SAVE Act, which will expand E-Verify and protect American Workers! We must focus on the behemoth problem in terminating illegal immigrants-and the jobs that attract illegal aliens. WE WILL ALWAYS BE PAYING FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING NOW? Many GOP members are against a Path to citizenship for lawbreakers, so we mostly need the phones ringing in the ears of Democrats, who see the millions of illegal aliens as a positive voting block.

WE MUST STOP IT NOW OF SUFFER FROM IRREVERSIBLE POPULATION GROWTH.

DEMAND NO AMNESTY! NO FAMILY UNIFICATION KNOWN AS CHAIN MIGRATION! BUILD THE ORIGINAL FENCE! NO MORE HEALTH CARE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. CLOSE THE BORDER AND STATION THE NATIONAL GUARD. $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS, JUST IN RETIREMENT BENEFITS? Learn uncorrupted facts at NUMBERSUSA.

Comment on Amtrak on steroids? by lexslamman

lexslamman — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:54:26 +0000

This isn’t going to be high-speed rail. The systems being proposed in California and Texas will be high speed rail. What we’re doing in the midwest is actually bringing the average speed of rail travel up to the point where it competes aggressively with automobile transit. Right now most of our midwest trains average around 50-60 MPH. The improvements they’re talking about will up that average to around 80-90 MPH, making using the train to get to places like Minneapolis-St Paul, Chicago, or Detroit a more sensible option than driving and parking. Besides, how far did you really think $13 billion would go? If you want true high speed rail, support the Oberstar-Mica bipartisan Surface Transportation Authorization Act of 2009.

Comment on Anarchists offer DNC deal to Denver by anarchistfriend

anarchistfriend — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:11:51 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, “anarchy” does not just refer to chaos. Anarchists are basically radicals, in that they believe in a fundamental transformation of society rather than small, reformists changes. But anarchists take it one step further–we do not believe in any form of hierarchy, and we do not believe that the government will ever solve the world’s problems.

Many people seem to think it is an “oxymoron” for anarchists to organize. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Anarchists believe that you shouldn’t wait around for the government to provide for your community, because it will never happen–instead we should be organizing ourselves to create the change we want to see. Anarchists have organized some of the most vital revolutions, such as the Zapatista liberation army http://www.zapatistas.org/
, and some of the most successful community projects, such as Food Not Bombs, which provides free meals to thousands of people around the country. http://www.foodnotbombs.net/

Comment on NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina by Jim Williams

Jim Williams — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:17:58 +0000

The Katrina experience illustrates how “law enforcement” is overeacting in today’s America. What has happened to “common sense?” Our law enforcement officers have a tough job and a tremendous amount of responsibility, and most are doing an extraordinary and professional job. However, through overreaction, bureacracy, decay of our justice system, ignorance on the part of the public due to the lack of knowledge about firearms and their history in this country, we are encouraging our law enforcement officers to, in some cases, act if they are “Storm Troopers” or “Gestapo” with their tatics, uniforms, and weaponry. Because of the severe criminal elements in our society and lack of an effective justice system, we are applying inappropriate “police tactics” to law abiding citizens. We shouldn’t fear our “Officers of the Law,” we should respect and praise them. God forbid if there becomes a situation in this country where the law abiding citizens regards our law enforcement officers as “The Enemy.” There will be anarchy.
