My husband travels a lot overseas for work. This summer, every phone call home has mentioned that the folks overseas find the American Health care debate absolutely ludicrous. They can't believe Americans are this stupid.

36. How could you not? You basicallly have a bunch of people
   
who are demanding that they continue to pay for mediocre health care.
It's unprecedented stupidity. Most of the world's people gather to GET stuff from the government, not to get less.

So lets make everyone get less than mediocre healthcare from the Govt

Some people don't value freedom. They would rather have the govt take care of them than to have to work for themselves.

45. what I find ironic is the outpouring of support both internationally, nationally and locally
   
9/11, Katrina, Tsunami victims, you name it and US Citizens donate and give what they can for people.
Locally, there is always support for kids who need cancer treatments that insurance won't cover, or for the family of a victim of a violent crime.

Yet, when it comes to universal coverage people apparently don't get that it is basically the same principle.

No dumbass it's not the same in those cases people donate out of the kindness of their hearts. They aren't being forced at gun point.

61. Hell, I can't believe Americans are this stupid.
   
Brainwashed, AGAIN, into voting and rabble-rousing against their own best interests. It's the gullibility, stupid.

:banghead:

Yeah having Obama force me to either buy insurance that he approves of or pay fines or buying into some worthless govt deal that only covers you on the second Tuesday of the week is in my best interest.  :banghead:




I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

It's stupid ass people with this thought process who will vindicate everything Alexander Fraser Tytler wrote about a "Democracy".

“A democracy can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.”

NEWSFLASH: You idiots can't GET SHIT from the government that isn't confiscated from the taxpayers.

Damn, it would pleasure me to no end if most of you would just end your lives. You're all a bunch of f'n adolescent kids who should have never left your mother's tit. You don't deserve freedom nor are you responsible enough to make the sounds decisions that will ensure it.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

If "the rest of the world" had an ounce of sense or integrity they'd be equal to the USA instead of standing in its shadow.

BFD.

Is that the same world that is working on taking health care out of the hands of government?

Yeah thought so.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

The rest of the world would love to bring us down to their level.

No one wants to be on the bottom by themselves.

Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Hell, I can't believe Americans are this stupid....I can, just look at what over half the voters put in the Whitehouse.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
