Consumerist.com showing its colors again
« on: October 26, 2009, 02:26:15 PM »
Howdy all,
Glad to finally join, been lurking for a while, but a recent post on a blog I frequent, Consumerist.com, really prodded me to make a post and hope that some of my conservative brethren will go over and point out real facts. It seems they are all hailing Al Franken for pointing out to Diana Furchtgott-Roth, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute conservative think tank, that Switzerland never had a medical bankruptcy. STUPID!

Now they've disabled my commenting privileges because I dared to comment

"I do wish Consumerist would stay away from political commentary. Irregardless it is here, so, why do so many of you actually believe that government run health care would be consumer friendly?"

And yes, I know "irregardless" is not actually a word, I just like to use it to annoy folks.

Why bankrupt one person with medical expenses when you can bankrupt a whole damn country with'em.
“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

NOT a WORD, as you say, and in the wrong section. If we still had BSs, you'd have your winkie wee-wee wacked...

(edited to change winkie to wee-wee. Wee-wee is the approved Navy term, and I want to make sure Sparkles understood the phrase)


Where is Sparkles, anyway?
