CLASSIC!
STUNNING!
I just love this guy. He says everything I want to say and writes it all up so clearly. It's great to have a voice outside the US that is pro-America.
STEYN RULES!
BTW - How is his last name pronounced? Stine? Stain? Steen? (please, no stuning jokes)
His on-line site is steynonline. Steyn and line rhyme.
Ah, thanx.
"As for this Bush-failed-to-get-bin-Laden business, 2-1/2 years ago I declared that Osama was dead and he's never written to complain. There's no more evidence for his present existence than there is for the Loch Ness monster, which at least does us the courtesy of showing up as a indistinct gray blur on a photograph every now and again. Osama is lying low because he's in no condition to get up."
Bravo!
Damn
I'm in Love..
Amazing clarity bump.
I don't know anything about Canadian hospitals but I do know that our hospitals system is cracking and failings under the strain of trying to service those who can't pay. Emergency rooms are closing all across the country. Newspapers are full of stories of deficiences - most notably, but hardly uniquely, King-Drew in Los Angeles. I do know that there's a shortage of hospital personnel, specifically nurses, because the medical professions are becoming increasingly less desireable.
I don't know how many are dying in our hospitals because of bad service but I do know many, many are dying because they can't afford to get any service at all.
Last night I dreamed of the Republican October Surprise Headline, BUSH FLIES TO AFGANISTAN, SHOOTS BIN LADEN PERSONALLY.
Another Steyn home run!! God, this man is a great writer and I thank the various posters who bring him to FR since I can't rely on the MSM to carry his columns.
I vote we make Mark Steyn an honorary American if he would be gracious enough to accept.
I DO NOT LIKE AMERICA PERSON KERRY HE IS NOT GOOD HE IS STUPID TOILET PAPER COMUNIST!!! I DO NOT LIKE COMUNIST!!!!. America President is good strong that is good America be strong great country I like America President that person is good!!!!
This constant whining about a shortage of nurses and such is because the nurses association, which tries to get more pay for them (not undeserved, may I say, since it is hard work)likes to emphasize the shortage. Also, some hospitals are in trouble because of high insurance premiums on hospitals due to TRIAL LAWYERS.
What you "know" is a compilation of democrat talking points. The facts are not nearly as grim as you portray them.
They understand it perfectly well. But it stands in the way of their quest for power.
Another gem from Mr. Steyn!!
Link? The reason emergency rooms like King-Drew are closing is because illegals use them as their primary care facility for such ailments as sore throats, etc. If you're in a car accident, been burned, have broken bones, etc, no one is being turned away.
LL, you're a typical lib who speaks with conviction from what you read but without experience - in this case, one would have to work in the health care business to adequately understand the issues. Problem is, most people in the HC business are conservatives - all that school and hard work, you know.
