Wow, thanks for that insight into the uber-liberal mind. Its pretty scary what is inside the grey matter that occupies the central mass of their heads. When ideas are twisted into what is posted above, and probably believed by the folks who twisted it, it really is enlightening.

It truely makes one's heart ache to think that there is a group of Americans that believe that we(conservative Americans) think like this post. It indicates severely twisted thinking to believe that anyone else's opinions could be this rediculous.

The difference is that Liberals actually do believe the stuff in that thread, while Republicans don't think the stuff in this thread.

FOR EXAMPLE, starting at the top, I don't know anyone who thinks BIG OIL has the best interests of Americans as part of their business plan, but I do think that many of us believe that BIG OIL should drill IN AMERICA so that we can achieve a much greater level of oil independence and lower the prices of oil.

Regarding HEALTH CARE, again, I don't know anyone who is a conservative who thinks 1) Health Care is a "right", 2) thinks it is affordable for all, or 3) believes we should treat doctors as indentured servants who are forced to provide services at fixed fees.

As for FOX being "fair and balanced" well I don't know anyone who believes that either. What I observe is that most conservatives believe that FOX has the 'hottest' broadcast babes on TV as well as being FAR MORE fair and balanced than any other network. So while they may not be totally fair/balanced, they are the most fair/balanced and they are the easiest on the eyes too.

Regarding "corporate raider Mitt Romney" and him caring about creating jobs. NOPE, again I don't know anyone who thinks that. I think most think he is looking to create wealth, and in the consequence of making money he is also creating jobs and building the economy. That is the way capitalism works.

That is the FIRST 4 items on the list above . . . I could go on.

.

Health care as a "right" is very problematic. Aside from the scale if simply implementing that positive right, it is one of many FDR and Woodrow Wilson Positive rights which no government can afford to give it's people unless it owns everything.

But that argument aside, there are several; postive rights oof which we could speak and see how they compare to Health care. Whatif everyone was required to be on Food stamps? Then everyone would have the gaurrentttee of food on the table.What if the government. At least so long as it met the dietary requirements establisheb by the overnment.

How abourt housing. A positive right under FDR. Well everyonecould havea house. Solong as it was provided by te govrnemnt. Can you say Housing project slums? Ghetto Slums. Or would we all get nice homes like the Kennedys, John Kerry and the Obama's?

Would we own them? Ifnot, who would take care of them? Not the residents? That's how good buildings become run down slums. Property owners tend to keep their places up

No health care for all sounds noble. But if we go the route of positive rights, we must give up property rights. Atthe very least wemust give up possesion pride and subsequent rights.


In what nations does this system work today? Are we to become like them? Is that the Hope of the liberal progressives? By what right do they presume to Change our nation from what it was?

From what Americans created over 230 years
From what many defended for over 230 years.
From what many would like to hand our children hopefully for another230 years.
Just like the one to heall,,,the road to serfdom is paved with so many good intentions.

Free health care for all is a noble ideal. But it is a lie, a myth, a preposterous scam. Nothing is free.

 

[Melensdad]

The "right" to free health care also presumes that the doctors have no rights to their own labor. A plumber is not required to fix your pipes. A roofer is not required to fix your roof. But all of a sudden a doctor is now compelled to provide you a service. Does that not imply that he has lost his rights?

Yes it does.

You are spot on Melensdad

The problem with "positive rights" is, to be implemented, they must impose on the negative rights of others.

How bout you are paying for them anyway, it does not seem to bother you as long as somebody as profited, but you cant handle it if everyone has to contribute. Yet not long ago you hated the "free" thing. Funny how I have not heard the word free since the mandantory payment thing. Talk about Kool-Aid.

OH, and by the way, I put this in the joke forums for a reason. lighten up.

 

[tiredretired]

I love the way liberals always start stuff like this by immediatley bashing evil big oil. Terrible, terrible big oil. The cause of all that is wrong in America. Yet, there is never a shortage in supply, the pumps in many cases are there 24/7 to pump whatever gas the people want. Don't like the high profits? Buy their stock. God bless Big Oil. Capitalism at it's finest.

The rest is where it belongs. The joke forum. Sorry Mak, I know you are a victim. You just cut & pasted.

DailyKos is considered left of left by the left. Me, I admit to being mostly a libertarian. Have been for years. That means I may be socially liberal on many points, economically very conservative. Its pretty obvious. Oh, and I've never said that Obama is not American. But I do love how you mischaracterize and disparage me through association.

 

[Dr. Zaugg]

I have been considering all this talk all afternoon. The real problem here is not who is correct or not but how we are looking at it. Here we ALL stand with our BACKS turned to each other shouting and thinking "I am not the one who is wrong here". We should be gracefully facing each other and asking what has happened to each of us that we cannot disagree with tact and a genuine sense that we want to work through these issues together to the end that is best for all of us as AMERICANS? We are in this dang boat together. rowing against each other just keeps us going in a circle.
I am sure that you all know that this is what keeps Congress and everything else "dead in the water". Ideology is one thing but if we cannot get along and move past our differences we all will be saluting

I don't know where you come from , but in most states . A plumber or Roofer or any other Contractor hired MUST warranty their work . Why not a doctor ??

Allen, that is a whole different discussion.

If health care is a "right" then a doctor MUST treat you because its your right to be treated. That means the doctor has lost his right to say no. It will likely also lead to doctors being forced to practice specific types of medicine or to be prevented from practicing some types.

A plumber may refuse to come and service your home if he chooses. He has the right to tell you to call someone else.

The question is NOT about the quality of the service, it is about whether the provider is FORCED to provide it at all. Once we claim a 'right' then someone else looses a freedom. If you proclaim that you have a 'right' to treatment, then a doctor is now forced to provide the service.

My Granny did just fine without Obamacare. Obamacare ain't about granny so please stop sawing that red herring bone. Unless you want to talk about the $716 billion that granny and her generation should get, but won't 'cause Obamacare stole it to make the ends meet his promise of being revenue nuetral.



And I have said nothing here about FOX. That's your thorny whicket. Which is why you insist on bringing it up. You seem to think it somehow important.

Most people who watch FOX watch many other outlets for their news. Hence their knowledge of what the commentators on other sources say
