Will you also deny them your essence?
Why just limit the protest to November and December? Hell, don’t donate blood at all unless you do it for a close intimate or friend who you know will get the blood directly and immediately.
Conservatives are charitable with what belongs to them. Liberals are charitiable with what belongs to others.
Bad idea.
Really bad idea.
What, you think he is a Podling from the Dark Crystal or something?
I will gladly donate blood for someone i know, but there are enough free loaders out there that wouldn’t do anything for anybody and that is one thing they can’t steal from me is my blood so i and i only will choose who will get my blood.
Giving blood should not be an act of defiance against the government. Donating blood saves lives. I wish to God I could donate, but I can’t. Be grateful you can and just do it. You can find other ways to protest health care deform.
So...
What do we do until November?
Why don’t we refuse medicare if over 65 and pay our
own health care. Show them we mean business and we
can pay our own way. That would show them. I am
ready if you are.
Dr. Strangelove moment...
General Ripper quote my friend, and I’m sorry but your idea is just as crazy.
I recommend grain alcohol.
This is a rediculous idea. It will only harm innocent people and will do nothing to stop the socialist advance.
If you want to make a difference pick a solid conservative candidate running for congress in your district or state this Fall and donate your time or money to their cause.
Well, I knew that suggesting this “shed no blood” for those two months (November and December) would be to give the courts some time to repeal this, but then if not, then we could actually do a SHORT TERM protest that would hit America hard. November and December are the two months where the blood supply is very short. Hospitals scramble to make it through almost every winter on the short supply of blood.
I know this is a tough pill for some to swallow, denying people the blood to save their lives. those are the same kind of people that I would NEVER want for an officer in the military. They do not understand that sometimes in order to save lives, some Soldier’s lives may (and probably will) be lost.
This is a better alternative that a violent revolt or a civil war.
BINGO! As Mr. P.J. O'Rourke once observed, liberalism is immoral, because you can't get into heaven by giving your neighbor's bank account to the poor.
End of argument - and allow me to invite any member of the 'Kennedy klan,' the 'Kerry klan,' or any other ultra-wealthy, champagne-socialist, hypocrite D@mocrat (but I repeat myself ;>) out there to kiss my @ss...
;>)
Bringing commerce to a hault for a day or so would have a quicker effect, I think. I don’t oppose your idea but really could not participate because I cannot give blood because of medication I have to take. I have thought about canceling my medicare and that may be an option because there will come a time when medical treatment will be denied for most of older folks anyhow. So why pay for the insurance when there is no benefit.
So in this case the “soldier” to be sacrificed will be, let’s say, an 8 year old injured in a car crash?
Let’s get back to basics, please. No one is going to deny blood as a protest.
To quote a Soldier that I highly respect that wrote in an email over Christmas while in Iraq, “There is no better gift one can give than the gift of freedom”.
I would rescend every drop of blood I have ever donated if it meant that my country were forever free.
I am sorry you do not value freedom as much as I do.
Please don’t lecture others who don’t want to follow your crazy idea. You are not my commanding officer, and have no reason to believe that you are.
I agree with you, but not for your stated reasons. I believe that if we alter our lifestyle in a way that impacts society, that chaos will develop. If all conservatives stopped giving blood they would be excoriated and the Feds would start paying $1000 a pint to get it and socialists and conservatives would stand in line to donate. That is ok because the paradigm changed.
Each in our own way can make a paradigm change without a massive boycott, a massive outcry or a massive march. We may influence a handful of people who influence a handful of people and on and on until there are a large number of things happening or not happening.
Chaos works both ways.
