(18) America's lower life expectancy compared to countries with socialist health care proves that their medical systems are superior.

President Obama has too much intellectual pride to make such a specious argument, so instead we have to keep hearing it from his half-wit supporters.

These Democrats are all over the map on where precisely Americans place in the life-expectancy rankings. We're 24th, according to Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Barbara Boxer; 42nd, according to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell; 35th, according to Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson; and 47th, according to Rep. Dennis Kucinich. So the U.S. may have less of a "life expectancy" problem than a "Democratic math competency" problem.

But also, as described in last week's column, the citizenry's health is not the same thing as the citizenry's health care system.

Besides America's high rate of infant mortality -- based on biology and lifestyle choices, not medical care -- Americans are also more likely to overeat or smoke than people in other developed nations. And the two biggest killers in the Western world are obesity and smoking.

Liberals shouldn't have to be reminded how fat Americans are, inasmuch as they are always chortling about it. A 2004 New York Times article leeringly quoted a foreign doctor, saying: "We Europeans, whenever we came to America, we always noticed the enormous number of obese people on the streets." I note that these are the same people who openly worship Michael Moore.

Somewhat surprisingly to those of us who have long admired France for its humanitarian smoking laws, until the mid-1980s, Americans had had the highest rate of smoking in the developed world. This makes patriotic Americans like me wonder if there's a way to get Michael Moore to start smoking. (You know, just to keep his weight down or whatever.)

To be fair, the French are still being exposed to large amounts of smoke due to all the cars being set on fire by Muslims.

In 2003, America led the world in smoking-related deaths among women -- followed by Hungary. Simply excluding all smoking-related deaths from the World Health Organization's comparison of life expectancies at age 50 in 20 developed nations would raise U.S. women's life expectancy from 17th to 7th place and lift American men from 14th to 9th place.

Americans are also more likely to die in military combat than the whimpering, pant-wetting cowards our military has spent the past 70 years defending -- I mean, than "our loyal European allies." This is a health risk Europeans have managed to protect themselves against by living in a world that contains the United States military.

These are risk factors that have nothing to do with the health care system. To evaluate the quality of our health care, you have to compare apples to apples by looking at outcomes for specific medical conditions.

Although the United States has a higher incidence of heart disease, cancer and diabetes compared to Europe -- because of lifestyle choices and genetics -- it also has better survival rates across the board for all these medical problems.

The most revealing international comparisons look at cancer survival rates, because of the universally extensive record-keeping for this disease.

To get to the comparison they like (America is not as good as Sweden!), liberals have to slip in the orange of "life expectancy," and hope no one will mention monster truck races, Krispy Kremes and Virginia Slims. As the old saying goes: Life doesn't last longer in socialist countries; it just feels like it.

It wouldn't fit in the window for title here at FR, so I had to shorten it.

"...Americans are also more likely to die in military combat than the whimpering, pant-wetting cowards our military has spent the past 70 years defending -- I mean, than 'our loyal European allies.'

OUCH!

Ann would know from personal experience, though -- having spent some time in Europe -- shown here outside Grateful Dead concert in the land of "whimpering, pant-wetting cowards."

[RonDog]

WOULD YOU OR YOUR COMPANY LIKE TO SPONSOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT...

Well, since you asked, YES!

Sort of. :o)

I was trying to find a way to "gracefully" plug an event tonight (and tomorrow night) in New York City -- featuring a good FRiend (and "Ann fan") - on today's "high traffic" Ann Coulter thread.

And, the title of Ann's column this week provides me with the PERFECT excuse to do so!

So. from a previous thread:

CONSERVATIVE comedian EVAN SAYET in NEW YORK CITY
Underground Comedy Festival, 10/7 and 10/8

New York area FReepers!

Please support fellow CONSERVATIVE [and "Ann Coulter fan"] Evan Sayet as he ventures into the belly of the beast -- starting TONIGHT!

Evan Sayet's "Right To Laugh" (Conservative Comedy Show) -- TWO SHOWS!!

Wednesday, October 7th -- 8:30 PM (Comic Strip LIVE)

Thursday, October 8th -- 7:00 PM (Broadway Main Room)

CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread

End of shameless plug for fellow L.A. conservative activist and FRiend of this forum, EVAN SAYET.
Ann, your sponsorship check (from EVAN) for this week's installment is in the mail. ;)

On a more SERIOUS note, Ann herself is NOT scheduled to attend either of these events, but she **has** said nice things about Evan previously.

From www.evansayet.com:

Syncro, I hope that you do not mind, but I hit the "abuse" button, and sent them THIS message:

Would you please EDIT this thread title to include "Ann Coulter" -- so that this does not get RE-posted a dozen times?

I will Freep-mail Syncro to get his blessing since he posted this -- but for now, how about changing the thread title to:

Ann Coulter: LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE, PART 7 (WANT TO SPONSOR THE NEXT ONE?)

That would be consistent with the title of her last few weekly columns, and SHOULD help prevent multiple re-posting of this same column.

Ann's original title this week is too long to fit, even WITHOUT using her name.

Yes, thanks Admin Mod!

Life doesn't last longer in socialist countries; it just feels like it.

So far Obama's presidency seems like an eternity.

From www.powerlineblog.com:

"...Most disturbingly, many cancers in Europe are discovered only upon the victim's death -- twice as many as in the U.S.

Consequently, the European study simply excluded cancers that were first noted on the death certificate, so as not to give the U.S. too great an advantage." - Ann Coulter

Wow.

Like Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that."

Larry King Live featured a long session with Ann Coulter and Kiki McLean Wednesday night.

During the interview, King asked Coulter about the recent Saturday Night Live skit about Obama running through a check list of his failures as president and whether this was the beginning of a trend of media criticism of Obama.

Ann said Michelle Obama would turn on Obama before Saturday Night Live would and that the skit was good fun.

She then noted that websites like Free Republic were criticizing CNN for fact-checking the comedy skit...

And, from transcripts.cnn.com:

-- snip --

KING: ... Anyway, I want you to watch -- Ann, I want you to watch this clip from "Saturday Night Live" -- you, too, Kiki -- and give me your impression.

Was it on the mark or just -- or just funny?

Let's watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP FROM "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE," COURTESY SNL/BROADWAY VIDEO) FRED ARMISEN, COMEDIAN: You look at my record, it's very clear what I've done so far. And that is nothing.

(LAUGHTER)

ARMISEN: Do you think I'm making it up?

Take a look at this checklist. Now, on my first day in office...

(LAUGHTER)

ARMISEN: On my first day in office, I said I'd close Guantanamo Bay. Is it closed yet? No. I said we'd be out of Iraq. Are we? Not the last time I checked. I said I'd make improvements in the war in Afghanistan. Is it better? No, I think it's actually worse.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: Ann, is this a sign there's a turn against the president going on in the country of "Saturday Night Live"?

COULTER: I don't think so. For one thing, I don't think "Saturday Night Live" or the mainstream media will ever turn against Obama. Michelle will turn against him before "Saturday Night Live" does. But I think it was mostly just funny.

Words that it were true that he were not keeping his promises. I certainly wouldn't be complaining about it.

And just a quick little side bar on some of the conservative Web sites like Free Republic they have been making fun of CNN for fact checking a "Saturday Night Live" sketch.

(LAUGHTER)

Thanks for the "sidebar," Counselor!
