Thanks Stalin for your comments. Say hello to Karl Marx for me.

Easy there Joseph...

"His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind, as between the internal and the external threats of Communism. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. [...] We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it — and rather successfully." Edward R. Murrow

Gerry,

Murrow I guess never read Treason by Ann Coulter. If he had he would have known McCarthy was vindicated and essentially right.

Lol

Nice try...

But on another note, Bill Clinton has written a book entitled Trust Me With Your Teenage Daughter, in which he describes his flair for telling bedtime stories. Said Bill, "You just gotta love the way the little darlings sit up and listen when I tell them about the Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks."

Hey my wife and I are going out for our anniversary tonight, I wonder if he's available? Sophie is a precious child, but kind of an early bloomer.

Have a fine evening GerryG.

Why is everyone upset with the government health insurance option?

It is an option!!!!

It adds more competition to the insurance industry. I am willing to bet that United Health or Kaiser won't be raising their premiums 35% a year any more when there is competition who will probably just raise it with inflation.

If you don't want it keep your own.



BTW,
Comrade Johnsonrod, can you give us some FACT based examples that our Commander in Chief is a socialist?

It is unpatriotic to criticize the Commander in Chief during a time of war.

I think I smell a Taliban sympathizer who needs a one way ticket to Gitmo and little water boarding as well. :uzi:

So you admit that for the past 8 or so years the Democrats have been nothing but unpatriotic Taliban sympathizers, at least you have the guts to admit the truth....

It's not that simple. Or at least not to anybody that chooses to study history and basic economics. Sure, it may appear to you that the government is providing "competition" in the marketplace, but the reality is that they will enjoy an UNFAIR advantage! They will be the only player in the game with the POWER of setting "price controls" as well as being able to regulate their competitors. And with this unnatural advantage, how long do you really think it will be before they are the only player in the game?

In fact, introducing this plan as an "option" is nothing more than a strategic move to EXPLOIT and take advantage of the viewpoint you just endorsed. They know from experience that they can't ram an overnight switch to universal coverage down our throats.

Starting out as an "option" is simply their way of getting their foot in the door while minimizing the public resistance and biding their time. And you are playing right into their hand.

Make NO mistake.... the ulitmate goal IS universal government coverage.

We can't afford it ... AND ... its against the Constitution of the United States to have federal health care.

And that's the evidence Obama is a Socialist. He follows the Communist Manifesto instead of the COTUS.

And we can't keep our own insurance when this comes ... we will lose our jobs when our passengers are taxed out of the Jet market... paying for Health Care ....

The "OPTION" option is used in Sweden and in Switzerland where private insurance companies compete against the government option. It seems to work there.
