The America Sucks routine by the communist media is not working now that the commies are in power. Alinski never told them how to spin once they were in.
It still works. The left media ignores the Gore sex scandal and the oil spill. The outrage would be “round the clock” if a conservative were involved. Any Democratic missteps, crookedness, incompetence, or totalitarianism is covered up, obfuscated, or ignored.
The press is very effective. But the people I work with, all libs, are now very quiet as they suck up their daily news cesspool. They don’t see why the leftist pipers don’t fife and drum them into a rage on national affairs and issues. They can’t get mad like in 2005. A good liberal can only hate Arizona so much.
But believe me, the leftist spells from the press still work. People are as dumb as ever. Just not as many as last election.
If we had fair reporting, there would be no elected Democrats outside inner city and ethnic conclaves or places like San Francisco and Chicago.
My guess is we are #1 at baby in the womb killing care
Well, the article is mostly true, but I can tell you that in some areas it is getting harder and harder to find a decent primary physician. Of course, that’s because they are getting pinched so hard by the government, the lawyers, and the insurers. Obamacare will only make this worse.
So, when we talk about the US healthcare system, we are talking about what was, what is, and what may be. Most of “what was” is world class. Much of “what is” remains that way, but large holes are opening up for those who go in the front door.
I had an interesting conversation with a lady who was a contract nurse specializing in ICU work. She was rather liberal, and her support for a government run plan focused on the cases she’d seen where insurance companies had cut off support for savable people because of expense. OK, the evil insurers perspective. But, then she said something unexpected and interesting. “Do you know who gets the best care? The illegal aliens, because there’s no gatekeeper on cost.”
The system has large cracks because of government interference, and it is getting worse.
Thanks for this.

wrong bridge, wrong waterfront....
Bump
I’m sorry— did you specify a waterfront? And the bridge isn’t for sale.
My libinlaw is totally convinced and cannot be swayed by data and facts (imagine that - a liberal unaffected by reality)
that our system is 2nd rate at best.
Right. The great unwashed socialist masses do not pay attention to anything but the major network communist news. They are allowed to vote and that is a shame. We are at the tipping point and losing the Republic. Too many Morons and they can vote.
Too bad. So is a good pal of mine. Infected by The Brainwashing.
Sorry chief...no time to split hairs with you this morning, the argument is moot, and isn’t worth my time.
We had the best health care. People need to be responsible to stay reasonably healthy by not becoming size 5 x’s, taking illegal drugs, abusing RX ones and not over drinking booze.
I guess your libinlaw has never talked to someone from another country. I have spoken to several friends from the former soviet countries who have told me what type of medical care they have and I just stared at them with my mouth hanging open. For example, onions on your feet stops a fever... a common practice. Alcohol is used to stop widespread infections, pneumonia etc. There are two types of hospitals: one for the “regular” people and they are horrible and one for the “elite” which are somewhat better. It is no wonder that they have family members come to “visit” and get treated here for their more serious ailments and surgeries. It is not uncommon for family members to pull your bad teeth, stitch your open wounds and bury you. One friend told me to truly appreciate America you have to visit other places. Once you see what others endure you feel pride. She has been an American now for three years and she says her life started three years ago when she was sworn in. Just a thought
My libinlaw refuses to read the IBD’s “Perspectives of a Russian Immigrant” series.
She read one, and refused to read any more of them because they refuted her beliefs.
“My libinlaw is totally convinced and cannot be swayed by data and facts (imagine that - a liberal unaffected by reality)
that our system is 2nd rate at best.”
This is the real tragedy and damage. Most people like your libinlaw will NEVER be able to see the light. The odds are there is no hope for her. She has been brainwashed to the point where it’s unlikely she can think logically about many issues.
This will take years to correct if it can even be corrected. We must start telling the TRUTH to our youth.
:D
