We Figured Him Out

[Blackedout]

I've already said I don't have all the answers. I can tell you this...None of my ideas would be with the purpose of giving anyone FREE health care. Health care is a commodity, not a right. I would like health care to be affordable to everyone who is willing to be responsible. I am morally opposed to entitlements. I don't have health care from my job so I buy my own. Why should I have to pay for health care for everybody who doesn't want to take care of themself?

I also paid every damn cent of my college debts. I suppose you know that the government now wants ALL student loans to be handled by the government and that if you can't pay them off, they will just write it off. Who do you think is paying for that??? Taxpayers...ME!

This has ran it's course. I know you have been brainwashed into thinking that Fox news is the enemy but if you are serious about hearing both sides of this, you should check it out some time. Since they don't have Obama's nuts in their mouth, they can actually report the news without manipulating it.

Oh, and find out what books your professors don't want you to read...and then read one.

Healthcare will never be free. It is an additional 5-10% tax on your income.... Least that's the way it works in most of the European industrialized countries. They get taxed something like 1/3 of their income... Total - Which is probably less than we have to pay with the combination of income tax, Social security, Healthcare, and then we're taxed up to an additional 10% on all the goods we buy. In reality, I don't see a difference, other than the fact that for many of those industrialized European countries, if there's a Serious medical problem at hand..... The patient gets taken care of.

Education is the future. We should be working to make college cost next to nothing. Education shouldn't cost $150,000. Education is what will make or break us. We're more than willing to send someone to prison at the cost equivalent of sending another person to college. That right there is something you should be complaining about... Not the education. You pay money to hold someone in prison for YEARS, at the cost of sending 1 to X amount of people to college, depending on their term. If they have a 40 year term, that's 10 people who could've gotten a college education for FREE with your money, my money, and everybody who pays taxes here. What would it take? I'm thinking slowly but surely dwindling down our military to costs well above every other nation, but less than every other nation combined.

This right here, the most controversial thing I probably will say..... We need to stop sending people to prison for doing petty drugs... For example Weed.... Hell... In fact legalize it and tax it. I or you should not be concerned what another person wants to do in their free time, as long as it's not hurting anyone. I bet there's a bunch of nonviolent offenders that can be taken out of the prisons, and put back into society as well.

You have any recommendations for books I should read? College library has almost a million books within its four stories.

And Obama didn't get elected because he was black, he didn't get elected because he was a democrat, he got elected because he was the better candidate. He campaigned better. He reached out to a demographic (18-29 year old voters) that McCain just couldn't touch. He won swing states like Colorado, Ohio, and Indiana that were deciding factors in his victory. How many black people live in Colorado? 4.3% is black, while 89.7% of the state is white. in Ohio, 84.8% is white, while only 12% is black. And Indiana? A whopping 9.1% of the population is black, while white people consume 88% of the population. It's easy to say "the black guy won because he's black," but that doesn't make it true. Hundreds of candidates could have stepped up onto that platform and debated with McCain and won. The Democrats chose the one they thought had the best chance of winning, and if he was black, who gives a fuck?

Wrong. He got elected because he Was NOT George Bush. Had McCain promised everyone no taxes, free lollipops and subwoofers, he wouldn't have gotten elected because he "agreed" with Bush- which is total BS by the way. Had McCain been elected- he would have tarded it up almost as bad as Obama.

We need Ronald Reagan and Thomas Jefferson's love child as the Prez.

Seriously??!?!? This is why the Prime Minister of Canada (shares socialized medicine) went to Miami, FL for his surgery?? LOL! What a crock

But in some places it does. That is supply and demand of capitalism. That whole "Should" thing makes me sick. How about I say that I "should" not have to pay a million bucks for a house in Hollywood. I should only have to pay $20k just because. Do you not realize what you said is a Socialist Statement?? S

Well... I agree with you there! LOL. Make it EASIER to get and tax the piss out of it. But let me seriously ask you a question... how is it that you think that weed is a petty thing that people should be allowed to do and PURCHASE if the WANT TO, but that they should HAVE TO buy health coverage simply because they are alive? And if they don't pay- then under Obama and Pelosi's new plan you get fined and get to go where??? To PRISON!!! I think that your premise contradicts itself sir.

Books to read to model yourself after: Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin, Our Country's Founders & The Book of Virtues by Bill Bennett, Cooking Alinsky's Goose: The New Capitalist Cookbook by Charly Gullett & Saving Freedom by Jim Demint.

BAD Books to read to realize what socialism truly is and how we are constantly bombarded by it: Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky & The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Gareth Stedman Jones

You go out in the woods, camping... You bring along a gun with you. Halfway through the camping trip a threat arises - it's a bear. Though the bear isn't close enough to claw you, or bite you... You take it as a direct threat to you yet... You decide to shoot it.

Now, on that same camping trip... You decide you're going to bring a knife instead of a gun. Again, a threat arises... but you decide that you are just going to remain calm, and forget about the opportunity for violence all together. You're going to grab everything but your food... Which is kept in a 'bear locker' And slowly and calmly get away from the bear. The bear ends up trying to get into the locker, but eventually fails. Bottom line... Bear has to go somewhere else for food, it doesn't get shot.. You don't get hurt.

With this you really pissed me off. You can argue politics but don't you EVER disrespect our military. So I give you this:

Your first mistake was automagicly assuming the man with the gun was going to jump it and fire upon the bear without deeming it a credible threat.

Your second mistake was if the man with the knife deems the bear a credible threat to life and safety, he's fucked. What's he gonna do, scratch it? Either way the man is mauled and regardless whether the bear lives or dies the man sustains injuries and possible death.

The man with the knife is of course going to bail and hide. He has a knife and he's facing a fucking BEAR.

You want "What ifs", here's one for you.

What if the man who brought the gun also plays it cool and tries to defuse the situation? If it works, all is well. However, if peace talks with the bear seem to not work, the man with the firearm is in a much better situation to see himself through than the man with the lesser weapon. Just because you have a gun, doesn't mean you're going to use it unreasonably.

I'd rather face an attacking bear with a gun than I would a knife. And I believe that any reasonable person would too.

It all comes down to the man using the weapon, don't blame the weapon for sins of the operator.

Now, I'll translate into Liberal for you since you don't seem to absorb opposing viewpoints.

Just because our military numbers are large doesn't mean that's why we're the target. Just because we're powerful doesn't mean we're out to fuck shit up. I don't remember the US Marines asking Bush "Can we go fuck something up?" No, Bush sent them. You want to reduce government spending by reducing the size of our military. This is fine during peace time. But then again, when was the last term of world peace there, hippie boy? We're not going anywhere or shooting anything until your beloved Liberal Congress tells us to. Don't blame us, blame them. Imagine we do cut the military. Imagine we do fall out of all foreign involvement and sit here with our head in the sand and our ass in the air. Sounds good, huh? Maybe, for a bit. But guess what, we're still the US, and we're still a target. They still hate us, only now we're a much more compacted target with much smaller defenses. You traded all our guns for knives, remember? Now the bear shows up, not in the woods, but in our city, our home, here, in the US, and it IS a threat, a large, very angry, radical faith or politically motivated, 1000lb bear hell bent on preventing us from ever going camping again. Now what? Bet you would've wanted that gun you traded off.

No, it's not our fault that there is war in the middle east, that was there before we were, no, we are not the reason there is terrorism, no, we are not the reason for communism, and we are not the reason the world is in an uproar. Regardless of what your liberal education, television, and radio tells you. The world being fucked is NOT our fault.

Don't change the weapon, change the person operating it. You act like it's the soldiers fault the president is/was a moron. We as a military do more for you everyday than your panty waisted liberal ass can possibly conceive for you to have the right to blame us for all your problems. How about cutting spending on something that won't possibly save your scared ass from someone who hates you because you live here.

For myself, My father, and on behalf of anyone else who is proud to serve or have served, Fuck you.

[Blackedout]

For myself, My father, and on behalf of anyone else who is proud to serve or have served, Fuck you.

If disrespect is saying that we're crazy for spending more than the rest of the world combined, YOU need to rethink what you're saying. But know one thing for sure, I'll NEVER disrespect what a soldier does to make this country what it is. I have the most respect for the ones serving and the ones who served. Believe me, I have NO disrespect for the soldiers who do what they do. Don't get it mixed up. It's not wrong for me to not agree with why we're at war. Will I ever disrespect those who served in the war I didn't believe in? Fuck NO. So I say THANK YOU to You, your father, and all those who have served.

You want to reduce government spending by reducing the size of our military. This is fine during peace time. But then again, when was the last term of world peace there, hippie boy?

Hold up... Think about this. It would take as long to reduce the size of the military as it would to build it. Meaning, its size would need to slowly decline in order to not affect the unemployment rate. Unemployment would do no good for the economy. The way you put it, it makes it sound like the military drops off 500,000 soldiers in one day, and all this sudden we have nothing... and the world is in chaos. I'm assuming within 15 years, the military could become a reasonable size, with reasonable spending, and peace may be a whole different story within 15 years.

You traded all our guns for knives, remember

To put it in terms for your republican ass, what I was saying is that a gun symbolizes power. A knife symbolizes less power. A gun in the wrong hands could result in the misuse of power. A knife is a limitation, a lack therefore of power, which would only be used when absolutely necessary.

BTW, I stopped watching politics on the news 2 years ago. I don't listen to the radio, CDs and Ipod.

Canada has its problems with health care. That's why I specified European countries, such as France.

Sicko is a great documentary.... If you want to see where I'm saying some of the stuff I'm saying... Watch Sicko - You won't be disappointed.

Though I may be wrong in believing everything Michael Moore says, I do sincerely believe that he has great points in the documentary, and that France's health care system is honestly much better than ours.

I don't see what a luxury (home in hollywood) has to do with a service (education) You are against cheap education? Are you against subsidized gasoline? All the gas we put in our tank is drastically subsidized. If our gas can be subsidized, why can't our education?

This right here, the most controversial thing I probably will say..... We need to stop sending people to prison for doing petty drugs... For example Weed.... Hell... In fact legalize it and tax it.

The way I see it, I'm going to have health insurance regardless.... So the bill isn't a huge deal to me. On the other hand, Do I believe that we should have MANDATORY health care... No. But in the same manner, I see that there's a serious correlation between the fact that health insurance companies benefit HUGELY from this bill, as well.... The other option would be the Health care similar to that of France, and insurance companies being eliminated all together. This is corruption IMO... A company too big to fail will be supported by our government. IE .... GM.

To be honest, I'm not looking to start flame wars....

This is just how things work in America/ Politics. There's no way for me to please everyone in what I say. Everybody has a different side on the political spectrum, I just happen to be raised from the most liberal state in the US, as well as one of the most liberal cities within that state. I would be willing to say that it would take a long time to push conservative views onto me....
