The electorate made a choice made on the stances taken by both men. How is that not "commonly agreed"?Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-79461401473539757132009-08-14T02:12:07.549+01:002009-08-14T02:12:07.549+01:00As long as the Americans' "federal" ...As long as the Americans' "federal" government has $3,000,000,000,000 to spend annually, and ignores the limited grant of powers made to it in Article 1 Section 8 of the Americans' federal constitution, you must expect severe and growing strife. Accept that it is not reasonable to have such an enormous pile of wealth, no longer with any well-designed and commonly agreed limits on its use, and yet avoid the greed, ambition, fear, and strife that have always attended such treasures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-53133018374149575732009-08-13T14:05:55.795+01:002009-08-13T14:05:55.795+01:00Steyn wipes the floor with your feeble PC drone ef...<i>Steyn wipes the floor with your feeble PC drone efforts</i><br /><br />I'd love to know where you imagine he did that? The truth, which neither you nor Steyn are prepared to admit, is that the Astroturfers have been behaving disgracefully, attempting to overtake town hall meetings with the aim of ending discussion rather than taking part in what is supposed to be a democratic process.<br /><br />When you <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/12/AR2009081202576.html" rel="nofollow">no longer have the support of even David Broder</a>, then I'm afraid you are heading to Hell in a handcart.Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-20824584899087964132009-08-13T11:21:49.423+01:002009-08-13T11:21:49.423+01:00Steyn's point was that the Democrats changed t...Steyn's point was that the Democrats changed the rules on January 20th and that suddenly they are opposed to activism. <br /><br />That is false. The people who changed the rules on January 20th were the Republicans, who went from thinking it unpatriotic not to support the president at a time of war to seeing it as the highest form of patriotism to oppose Obama.Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24005214.post-35143092814597796162009-08-13T05:27:46.769+01:002009-08-13T05:27:46.769+01:00Osterley Times,

As for mobilization, they get free bus far to ship their agitation nationwide.<br /><br />This is the Coalition of the Cockamamie. <br /><br />And at that, I might add that the unions still have not added much here other than threatening beatings. For example, per chance maybe these clunkheads might ask if Obama plans to have us under EuroCanadian single payer (which he advocates by his own admission) or this new fangled claim to be an Austrian economics professoriate with all the new mess about "competition." <br /><br />Perhaps this can be reconciled with his statement earlier about running the private insurers out of business for good. (yeah--it's on tape, brother).<br /><br />While the clunkers are at it, perhaps they could give a roll call for all the politicians, members of the Bambi administration included, and then Bambi himself, who plan to use this wonderful "health care" plan?<br /><br />I much doubt it. Just as I much doubt that I'll hear the words answered that would need to be for any such plan:<br /><br />Words like RATIONING, WAITING LINES, ILLEGAL ALIEN PARTICIPATION.<br /><br />ETC.<br /><br />All of them real and obnoxious concerns when you move from a system covering 250 million people to 50 millions, but the brilliant architects of this crap sandwhich don't have any plans for new doctors or nurses or even bedpan changes. The union thugs might qualify for the last one there.<br /><br />That's their intelligence level.<br /><br />And not much higher. Else they could answer the query about why the pols are still lying about the supposed "47 million uninsured", etc.<br /><br />Most of these are illegals already covered de facto by ER visits, and the robust young who deem they don't need it, and those wealthy enough to pay cash.<br /><br />Please do not put the rest of us on some NHS system of the new promise of "no more than 18 weeks" for follow up care due these lies.<br /><br />Untrue. But then, why bother with the truth if you got the bodies?<br /><br />Almost last but not least--why in the HELL is what some of us pay on health insurance any damned business of the President or his minions????<br /><br />The Shining City on a Hill is now turned into Fred Sanford's damned junkyard.Wakefield Tolberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214688786380814406noreply@blogger.com
