Whining Americans Choose Caviar Health Care

What Canadians come across the border for health care? I know a good many Canadians and have asked them about this repeatedly, they simply laugh and shake their heads stating that neither they nor anyone that they know would ever consider doing such. People wait in line for medical services in this country even when they have good health insurance. Have you made an appontment with a cardiologist recently? Made an appointment with your internist to have a yearly physical performed? You will be waiting months. Single payer, universal healthcare for ALL Americans NOW. posted 07/20/2008 at 00:48:18

This quote reminds me of one uttered by the Marquis Everemond in "A Tale of Two Cities," whilst his servant is putting the Marquis to bed, the servant makes a comment about the hunger of the masses in Paris. The Marquis responds with the quip that, "Hunger is a luxury with those people" to which the servant responds, "If it is, sir, it is a luxury with which they would gladly do without." posted 07/19/2008 at 20:43:18

Obama Should Stop Lecturing African Americans

The truth remains, whether one likes it or not, that when you are a member of a minority you must be better than the majority. If that means getting up an hour earlier and going to bed an hour later, so be it. If that means sacraficing so the next generation can have more, so be it. This philosophy is what has worked to propel minorities ahead in America for the past 150 years and what continues to move countless immigrants to this country ahead today. posted 07/20/2008 at 01:01:10

Elizabeth Dole Tries To Name AIDS Bill After Jesse Helms

These people live in a strange and confused world of "1984" in that every lie must be held up as the truth. Hence: "The Clear Skies Act": "The Death Tax"; "The Defense of Marriage Act." and so on and so on. In America today truly "War is Peace" and "Ignorance is Strength." In five years time look for the "George W. Bush Peace and Prosperity Award" to be given to newest arising Republican Star who exhibits Karl Rove qualities. posted 07/17/2008 at 11:14:51

Serenity Lost: Obama And The Netroots

Obama can only continue to ignore or downplay these constituencies to his own peril. We have seen it happen in both the 2000 and 2004 election: the Democratic nominee wishes to be all things to all people and ends up with a watered down message and philosophy that fails to energize his own base. The "swing voters" be damned. Americans both want and need to here a progressive/left voice. posted 06/25/2008 at 15:35:02

Obama Team Weighs Nunn, Edwards As Running Mates

Hopefully they will have the good sense NOT to choose Sam Nunn. Wasn't he the one who was leading efforts back in the spring to have a so-called "Unity Candidate?" Ridiculous!

Rupert Everett: British Soldiers Are Whiny Wimps

Go Rupert! I would guess that too many in the UK, just like in the US, are joining the armed forces with the idea of making a cush career for life out of it and then when an actual war comes along (and they face death or dismemberment) they wonder what the hell happened. In a democracy a very small and exclusive peace time armed forces should be maintained and for the very rare VALID war institute a draft for all men and women 18 to 26. posted 06/09/2008 at 17:20:20

Times have changed but I can't conceivably imagine FDR, Truman, Eisenhower or JFK being booed at when throwing out the first ball.

As much as I despise the man, I have to admit that on this one he is right. If you listen to the friends and family members of those who have gone to Iraq and died in speaking about the dead and wounded they come up with some simplistic jingoism that, " They wanted to liberate the Iraqi people." or "They just wanted to spread freedom." Truly you can say that they were naive souls who were duped and died for nothing, but still it was their choice to go. The one reason that the draft has not been reenacted by this administration is their fear that there would be massive protests to the point of bringing down a government. posted 03/24/2008 at 22:33:41
