The Brainwashing of America, a case study: 
 Advertisements [?]Two friends and I were having a discussion about universal health care yesterday at a coffee house in Ann Arbor. We were discussing which country's system we should emulate, personal health care stories Blah Blah Blah.
Then this guy from Ohio, who was visiting to help his U of Michigan student son move into an apartment, injects himself into the conversation, talks about what a disaster "socialism medicine" is, and how much better the US health care system is than anyone else's.
My friends kind of rolled their eyes with "Oh Lord, One of Those!" looks on their faces and didn't say anything. I felt the need to engage this guy, and mentioned how poorly the United States fared compared to the rest of the First World, and even some of the non-First World, when it came to health stats.
He then said those are all lies put out by liberal and socialist groups, and that U.S. health care is the best. I then offered to walk over to the UM computer lab with him and show him all the mainstream organizations that verify my facts. He got a little more agitated and said "It doesn't matter. Our health care is the best."
I told him that nearly half the country was either uninsured or under-insured, and not everyone had good insurance like he presumably does. THEN he told me he was self-employed and didn't have insurance, but it didn't matter 'CAUSE HE NEVER GETS SICK!!! "I'm not going to live off government socialism," he retorted.
At that point I wished him and his son well and gave up. Some skulls can't be penetrated.

That's DU for you: they always try to elevate their station by creating scenarios that have never happened and never will: three liberals sitting around a coffee shop talking about...universal health care.

Yeah, right. I can run down how it actually happened:

"Mannnnnnnn, like, I need to see like a doctor, man, but man, like, I spent all the copay money on weeeeeeeed, mannnnn!"

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude."


Not even a good TRY, marmar. Marmar is the one who posts about five articles a day about the economy. He/she is holding a vigil for the collapse of the American economy. I understand the Great Pumpkin is going to bring it.

They want free health care and that includes mental so that they can remove themselves from productive society based on "health" issues.

It is nothing more then that,now they can`t afford the number of trips and finding the right doc to do it.
Free means it becomes a doable thing.

I would have taken the DUmass up on the offer to prove me wrong.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

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.

A truly pathetic attempt to fabricate a believable situation. But, considering they were Wolverines, what more can you expect? It's especially offensive that an Ohioan is injected into the lie.

The guy is self employed and is putting his sone through College at U of Mich?

Yeah, I'd ignore him because he is a dumb-mass.


dumb-ass.

2008-2009 Fall/Winter (September - April) 

 

 
 
 
 
Michigan Residents
(In-State)           
Fr/So*
Tuition & Fees $11,037
 Room & Board $8,590
 Books & Supplies $1,048
 Personal & Miscellaneous $2,054
 Total Budget $22,729
 
Jr/Sr** $12,439
 $8,590
 $1,048
 $2,054
 $24,131
 

 
Nonresidents               
(Out-of-State) 
   
     
Fr/So*
 $33,069
 $8,590
 $1,048
 $2,054
 $44,761
 
Jr/Sr** $35,391
 $8,590
 $1,048
 $2,054
 $47,083
 
So, $100,000+ for four years, dumb-asses. That's if you are in-state and they don't raise the costs (and they will).

The guy is self-employed and can pay for this, eh? Yeah...like he doesn't have insurence.

I met a young Moldovan woman tonight.  She says their government is communist and the young people are ready to vote them out.  The reason she gave for this, no one has anything and the government has screwed the economy making sure of it.
