    I am gently suggesting - only suggesting - that when it comes to anything that might hint of Marxism, Communism or Socialism...many Americans get a case of PTSD, and with good reason.

    All the "Socialist" etc countries had a dictatorship-like situation almost from the beginning of their history.

    I don't believe it would ever take hold to such an extent in the U.S.A. It doesn't have the long history attached to it in America.

    If this health bill is being rammed through without adequate reading, preparation and amendment, then yes, loud protest is needed. I don't think that is right.

    Factual change is a good thing, I think; but protest due to a knee-jerk fear reaction because one perceives a possible shade of pink in the proceedings is scary.

    JMO. I'm not there, so it's only MO.

    I cannot imagine what possible reason - good or bad - many Americans would have post traumatic stress about Marxism, Communism, or Socialism. The country had never been invaded by any of those or any dictatorship like situation.

    I have been trying to remember if I have ever even MET a communist or marxist - best I can come up with is I suppose I did when visiting the nominally communist former Yugoslavia. And I suppose somewhere in my life I have met a socialist. But trauma??? Stress??

    Not only is there not a long history of dictatorship, socialism, communist or marxism - there isn't any.

    Are there people running around Canada suffering from Post Traumatic Stress because of communism, marxism or socialism?

    We ain't gonna turn turtle after 233 years of fighting off the jokers who do not like us.

    The 'thing' the media and people do not realize is that we want HCR, we don't want the "Force it in/out" mentality.


    The people who are enamoured of the prez and his wacky 'change' mentality do not realize the depth nor the scope of what the delivery of a sound, progressive, modern and cheap health care program is.

    If you want to climb Mt Everest you have to start at the bottom and work your way up. BO wants to airlift everyone and everything to the top of the hill and let things trickle down.

    Ah, Mister Prez?
    Helicopters don't fly that high and you may be suffering from hypoxia.

    It has nothing to do with knee jerk reactions.

    It has to do with the citizens being given a chance to have a voice in the decision that the prez wants to make. That's it.

    IT's the same with the "school talk" at the kids. I sure a shiat don't want some politician getting buddy buddy with my kids and whispering anything in their ears.

    If you have small children ask you local reps if they would like to care for them for a few days. I trust them like I'd trust the moron who kidnapped the gal and held her for 18 years. They are worse than that type of criminal-Our politicians lie to our faces and say it's for our 'own good'.

    If anyone questions what the prez is trying to 'push through', we are labeled as "racists" and "old crazy people".


    So, If were are racist and crazy, that must mean the supporters of the regime in power right now are brainless fools -sheeple- who cannot and will not question any moves made by them.

    No one knows what exactly is in the HCR/HIR bills, how they will affect the future of delivered HC in the future and how the costing will be affected, so for them to support something as ill-thought out as a Obama inspired reform?
    They should be ready to accept the consequences of that bill and should be held responsible for it's failure.

    I ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW THE HCR WILL AFFECT THE MASSES.
    I don't care about Obama and his race, creed or family.

    I just don't like the idea that this jerk wants to go over the heads or the people who object to his ideas and has his supporters trying to force it down my piehole.


    -----------------

    Watch how fast this paragraph is ignored.




    IF you support BO's HCR take some money and put it into the bank.

    I'll check in later with you. Should the bill fail and eff up the HC industry give me the money, If not, keep you money and laugh at me.

    Show how much you believe in this clown show, put you money where your mouth is.


    P.S. the fact that I am not betting on this? Should you win the bet and get to laugh at me, will it be enough to make it worth your while?

    Don't just put faith in your party, Fund the action. Make a stand. Yes, you can-but how long can you?

    God knows we could all use a rip-roaring shin dig?

    The thing people don't realize is that we??? Now who would those people be who don't know what we want?

    Gosh..."we" are you the Pope or the Queen of England. Because I sure don't remember electing you to represent me!
