They still had air raid drills in the 1980's?

Well, Duh! No wonder you support Obama.

Doing too much acid wrecks one’s perception of time and era.

My kids didn’t, maybe they were deprived because no one cared if they were nuked.

You know, I don't know anyone who doesn't think there needs to be reform. I don't know anyone who resists Obamacare based upon the race of the current president (at least not openly asserting such a vile opinion). We just don't come up with the same conclusion and are not particularly willing to be fooled again. Bottom line is I don't trust them (they all look like short-bus candidates) to effectively solve problems that will have such a devastating impact on all of us.

It must be nice to be able to file away any debate in such neat cubbyholes and refuse to see that we all want the same thing — we just don't agree that a complete dismantling of our current system and the chaos that will occur is necessarily the brightest idea in the portfolio. The author of this piece really needs to get away from his commune.

"Ah, nothing says modern-day America quite like fireworks, potato salad and a little irrational fear garnished with light prejudice."

Yeah. Just because the guy surrounds himself with Marxists, Black Nationalists and Liberal control freak lunatics doesn't mean we should be afraid of the direction he wants to take the country. We'll get used to calling each other Comrade soon enough.

This individual is a dumb ass. So because the current “private system” isn’t perfect we are going to put in place the stepping stones to a forced no opt out public system? We are going to trust the same group of morons who crashed the economy and are spending like drunken sailors in a redlight district to not only fix the system but bring down the cost of health care? The current bill may not require you to join a public plan but it sure as hell requires us all to pay for it and has the clear intent of eventually forcing private insurers out of the market. Yes that makes the writer of this piece of drivel a marxist and his lame attempt at creating an apologetic for Obamacare.

Notice how they don’t talk about how great this reform will be in any specific sense that is measurable? They talk about how bad everything is that anything would be better. Well that just isn’t true and we have had enough of being talked down to and ridiculed because we don’t trust the federal government. Doesn’t the left realize it isn’t working? Don’t they realize that the cage is falling apart?

If they don’t they soon will.

I'm a Marxist. A limp-wristed, freedom-hating, baby-killing, tofu-eating, plastic-recycling, Prius-driving, pagan vegan Commie. All because I believe that the health care system could use a little improvement.

This is a PERFECT example of liberal argumentation!

You take your opponents real, reasonable position and exaggerate the living CRAP out of it, then shade, cloak, spin, sweeten and rephrase your own position in such a way as to make your opponent sound absolutely insane, dangerous and unbelievably wrong.

That's all this hundreds-of-pages-long legislation is, folks, "a little improvement" to the health care system. Why all the overblown hysterics and name calling? Doesn't EVERYONE believe it needs "a little improvement"?

It's "a little improvement" in the same way an atomic bomb "kicks up some dust" when detonated.

I think it was Rush who read an article by an economist who said the reason our health care (in America) is more costly and intensive is that Americans are in the frame of mind of saving lives. Not so with most countries that have nationalized health. When all of this talk of health care reform started taking shape, I realized that there would no longer be any point in further health research, because the system wouldn’t be able to afford either the research or the implementation of programs as a result of research. We must not let them get away with changing our health care attitudes of the importance of life and saving lives. I fear this attitude is changing because of all the abortions that have occurred these past nearly 4 decades. We must insist on saving lives.

Hey, he’s a journalist and has degrees from Portland State and Syracuse U. in journalism and has written for 30 publications and has gotton awards and has his own web page, so, therefore he knows everything about everything and you had better acknowledge your betters...just ask him((all said with tongue planted firmly in cheek). Portland is full of fools like this who so desperately want to become part of the elite that they no longer can think for themselves.

But it also shouldn't be this hard.

Whine, whine, whine, wah, wah, wah. Nothing should be hard, just give me what I want b/c I'm a liberal! I'm sure he was stomping his feet and pouting when he wrote this trash. He's a child of the 80's who hasn't grown up.

Liberals are all about "choice" UNTIL you choose differently than them.
