It is free in every other developed country in the world. And you are not that important. There are other people in America besides you, some of whom weren't born with the same advantages.

This is always the last bottom of the barrel argument for people against any program or reform to help the betterment of all in a society. I don't care that every company and corporation is setup to ass-rape the public and the government doesn't really doesn't care about the citizens, but let's not back public funding for the benefit of all in society. Just completely ass backwards logic.

So now someone voting for universal health care can be equated with Ann Coulter practicing hate speech and racism? O.k.
And there were no threats against her life. She was just heckled out of there.

'...students crowded the entrance to Marion Hall, posing a security threat.'

Not quite the same thing as someone having direct threats made against their life, is it?

It's not free dummy. Why do you think everything is so expensive in these other countries that you mention ? So I guess all the doctors nurses,and their staff work for free also ? Oh and what about all the hospitals ? I guess they just pay for themselves too. Free food .Free electricity,Free water ect. ect. It's all free right ? :roll:


So just because she doesn't want a hand out she's not that important ? Wow! Sounds like something from the communist manifesto.

Yes it is. When you walk into a doctors office or hospital in England you don't pay anything. It's free. And what exactly is 'so expensive in these other countries'? I bet you've never set foot outside the U.S. You have no idea what you're talking about. I bet you couldn't even find England on a map.

It's paid for from taxes. You pay tax in America too, except most of that money goes towards paying for weapons with which to kill people abroad. But then you have no problem with that because your happy to let the t.v tell you what to think.
Every body in America receives handouts every single day of their lives. Your roads were built with tax dollars. Your emergency services are all paid for with tax dollars. Your buses and trains are paid for with tax dollars. So what's your problem with health care being paid for with tax dollars?

Because only Americans have freedom right? Including freedom fries and freedom toast.

As if you've ever seen a copy of the communist manifesto, let alone read it.

And in case you didn't notice, the health care reform bill was passed. I suggest that you and your fellow yahoo's get over it and quit whingeing like babies. If you wanna complain about where your tax dollars are being spent then why don't you complain about the fact the U.S has the biggest military budget of any country in the world?

Republicans can't defeat Obama alone. If they could, he'd never have been elected in the first place. The Independents are the ones with the real voting power. And I think these people are mis-calculating if they think vandalism and threats are going to win them supporters or further their cause. Maybe locally, within their like-minded community, they'll be empowered. But overall, on a national level, the victims will get the sympathy. I'd bet anything that the majority of the country will be disgusted by this type of behavior.

EDIT: Check it out, Gallup poll...only 19% of adults are actually "angry" about healthcare. They may be vocal, but they're a minority. http://www.gallup.com/poll/126929/Slim- ... ssage.aspx

the problem is that most adults don't vote. look at the seniors, they vote in droves and last i saw they are not happy with the health care bill.

the seniors have gov't sponsored healthcare called medicare. wtf are they even worried about? i will bet you that not one of them would trade their medicare for a private insurance plan..i see and hear that every day in the practice i work at...

just like the left did during the 2000 elections? I think people can complain how their money is spent, no matter where it goes. I hate that my tax dollars are used to kill people in other countries, but I also hate that they are used to give people things without them having to earn them.

"Yes it is. When you walk into a doctors office or hospital in England you don't pay anything. It's free." Literal much? where does it come from? are the doctors all working without pay? where does all the stuff come from? donations? It all has costs no matter who pays for it.

Just remember, that the budget is large, but so is the scope of what they do(right or wrong is irrelevent)

i would LOVE to see what would happen if the US decided to just protect ourselves and let all the other countries fend for themselves. That would be great. I wonder if there would be a south korea? Whether all the supposed "more enlightened countries" admit or understand it, a lot of places are are very dependant on us for our support militarily. Take israel for example. No matter what you believe about their "right" to the land (personally I think they should be able to co-exist with the palestinians and both use the land), they would be GONE without our help. GONE. I just don't understand how people just pick and choose who they want to defend and what cause they are going to pick up. Here are mine,

I want to be able to take care of myself and my loved ones. I feel badly for people who don't have what I have, but I earned everything I have on my own, no one gave me anything. Because of that I suppose I am more inclined to say do it yourself to most people instead of relying on some crappy government to take care of you.

Why don't we just remove the Obama logo and instead use the same term but with the American flag? This would be more legitimate and in order with our history and current times.

Huh? Who has suggested or encouraged violent reprisals? Please list instances, and even quotes if you have them.

And the comparison to Kristallnacht in the first post is just embarrassing and only serves to highlight your lack of knowledge on the subject.

If you want people encouraging violence, look at the people who sent the president death threats after the bill passed.

It's hard to read quotes like "we survived the assassination of Lincoln, we survived the assassination of JFK, we'll survive a bullet to Obama's head" and "if I was in D.C. right now I'd shoot him between the eyes at point blank range" as anything other than encouraging and/or threatening violence.

And to the guy who brought up Obama making the deficit bigger than Bush ever did... Bush wasn't including the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in his budgets, and when Obama took office he did. Of course the debt "skyrocketed" when he took over - what he was doing was showing the public what the government was ACTUALLY spending money on. I'm still not sure why more people weren't pissed at Bush over that - if your significant other went out for groceries and bought a car while they were out, then came home and said "don't worry, I only spent $20" - wouldn't you be pissed to find out they'd actually spent $20,020?

If you're going to knock Obama, at least knock him for something legit...
