Rock in the pond

Yep I think that Obama is a Marxist. At least that is what I here when he speaks about Nationalized health care and redistribution of wealth. Going after the rich oil companies. Patriotic duty to pay more taxes?

All that smacks of socialism. Marxism is the path"road map".

If you think that the platform Obama is running on is apple pie and American I could only shake my head.

Socialism is a system of economic redistribution having nothing to do with education or law enforcement.

Taxes being taken in to provide equal benefits to all people whether it be public roads, parks, or schools.....sounds like socialism to me!

I think the lesson here is that socialism is unfairly villianized, particularly for it's association with communism, but it doesn't have to be that way. I think its fair to say that socialism works for some things and not others, but simply the stigma attached to the word is what turns people off about it. Many structures of our country are socialistic and have been apart of our nation long before communism and people don't even realize it.

Correct :thumbup: all they republicans out there can take their nappy's off !

It just kinda makes me sick to see the general population become so confident in the government that they are willing to give them all the decision making authority in there lives.

Well I picked up the phone the other day and called my Senator.

You know that now you can only leave a message? Used to be you would get a person on the other end.

I suppose now what might be the most productive is writing a letter. Telling them my complaint, and where copies of the letter will also be sent. Along with notification of where copies of the official response will be forwarded to.

I feel another audit coming on . LOL

This applies to fatal's post #28 - Look no farther than Canada...or England. You'll see what a mess it is. I say clean up what's here as a great first step. I had to take my father in law to the ER following a heart attack and had to wait to get in the door due to all the illegal..err...undocumented people waiting to get treated for colds and minor illnesses. Our present form of socialized medicine only applies to those that will not pay, not to those that can.

Here we all sit, on an Internet forum, through our ideals at the world.

As an American I say that we are obligated to do that . I also say that we should remember to not take ourselves so seriously to think ourselves more than just another rock in the pond. Sure we have our effect on the world. To what extend? Well I suppose it matters were your rock hit the pond, and were ones twig was floating when that came to pass.

My thoughts to who,ever might receive them today is, just this, one might consider.

Corruption and evil stand at the gates today. Or is it , They perpetually stand at the gates? We must all stand vigilant watch to this at all times.i have found that the world has never been a safe place. It is my opinion that what evil most desires is to make me hate. Yet this is a daily struggle. There are days it has more success than others. So when I get up in the morning I must remember that this is a new day. Yesterdays loses and setback are of yesterday and have no bearing on today's struggles unless I allow them to.

When I find the end of the day, I must stop to remember that today's struggles I found, I met with the best intentions and whether I prevailed or lost to them it is time to lay them behind me and rest. For tomorrow won't remember them, lest i remind tomorrow about them .

Deep.

The US will still be a capitilist country under Obama,you don't need to worry your paranoid little head off,i don't think wanting National health care for the people is makes you a socialist/marxist,yeh i think we should go after the oil companies,they should be wearing masks the robbing b@stards.

The way you are talking you would think Obama is trying to turn the US into the old Soviet Union ! its not gonna happen.

Don't wet the bed :thumbup:

C'mon Bella, you can do better than that.

The NHS here in the UK is far from perfect,but it is certainly better than The US where 50 million people have no health insurance !

Tell us why it is better.

I mean what exactly is better about the health care in the UK?

I have good insurance myself. And tomorrow morning on Monday I can pick up the phone at 8 am and buy 9 am be siting in front of my family doctor .

My brother has no insurance and makes little money. He can also get in to see a doctor. Paid for by who? Me and 150 million taxpayers. He has access, his baby has very good access. Along with his wife.

Juan Valdez , his wife and children that are not even here on legitimate terms have access. Those fifty million that have no insurance you speak of have access to the system. If they want it. So what specifically are you saying is better about the health care in the UK?

So are you saying that the 50 million without health insurance and the illegals have access to the system,what if you needs drugs to control a medical condition,what if you knee knee ligament surgery or cataracts removed,do they get this for nothing,if what you said is true why is health insurance such a big issue ?
