I'm safe on board.. (Roger Ebert supports socialism)

Having read through some 600 comments about universal health care, I now realize I took the wrong approach in my previous blog entry. I discussed the Obama health plan in political, literal, logical terms. Most of my readers replied in the same vein. The comments, as always, have been helpful, informative and for the most part civil. My mistake was writing from the pragmatic side. I should have followed my heart and gone with a more emotional approach. I believe universal health care is, quite simply, right.

Under universal health care and its atrocious five year survival rates, Roger would have been planted years ago.

Well, he scored a few points today. Still he’s a flaming liberal.

The Devil can quote from the Bible as well.

Roger Ebert is a big fat idiot. The mope makes a living from watching movies while eating popcorn for Pete's sake.

And the people who lavished praise on his tripe have the IQ of a stick.

Let's tax Hollywood's bread and butter to support Obama’s horror show. A tax on movie tickets, and the Gross income on every movie NOT NET income .

Let's see if Hollywood is ready to put it's money where it's mouth is.

Oh man, imagine if he was a citizen of Canada or the UK and just tried to get that kind of treatment, that kind of quality care, for all those ailments in one of those countries.
