People who advocate violence as a means to a political end are dictators! In a democracy the political process involves debate, discussion, and votes. There is no place for violence or gun play in democratic society.
Ergo, anyone even remotely suggesting its use is unfit and unworthy of participating as an official of office. Palin is being groomed as a possible candidate because she is easily manipulated by the goons in the shadows, who couldn't possibly win an election. George Bush gave white men a bad name. Barrack Obama is now giving all men a bad name. They are banking on the public support for a woman next and Palin has proven her ability to tow the line and spout the garbage. They really don't need to win the vote, as they will simply steal the election again. What they need absolutely though is her acceptance as a candidate. She is obviously not qualified as a public servant on many levels. She is in good company with the likes of Limbaugh and Beck. One has to be incredibly small minded to give any of these nitwits the time of day!
So is it alright to yell "fire" in a movie theater? I am all for freedom for men, all men but based on the understanding that in expressing or persuing my freedom I do not violate another persons rights. For a candidate to publicly advocate the use of violence, or even subtly suggest the use of force in order to gain political victory is completely beyond the pale. Those who use such tactics are not worthy of public service. They are obviously incapable of functioning properly in a democracy. They would be better suited to a dictatorship. The role of the media cannot be overstated in such matters as many members of society are easily influenced largely due to our educational systems failure to teach the art of thinking for oneself. What we are witnessing here is the sublime art of mind control for the masses. We are, all of us who watch and listen or read the products of carefully controlled mass media conglomerates, subject to relentless bombarding of our faculties by entities with an agenda who constantly try to control our thoughts and emotions in an attempt to get us to act and behave and think in the manner in which it serves them. How can you defend someones freedom to suggest it is o.k. to kill?
Propelling us towards? You must be living in a dreamworld because we are a communist state! Here it is corporate communism which socializes the costs but privatizes the profit. You had better wake up because you and your religious cohorts are amongst the biggest supporters of conservative communism and the killing of people that don't agree with you!
"No one should get a free ride."
I couldn't disagree with you more! Like the Puritans of old, you see medicine and health care, indeed anything that isn't painful and hard, as a joy ride. You need to grow up.
The way I see it is that first-class health care must be available to everyone regardless of income. And no one should make a profit off of healing other people's illness. The model of medicine-for-profit, For- Profit-Hospitals, and the like, are an absolute immorality.
Personally, anything but a government run single payer system is inadequate and wrong. The government has run Social Security Insurance extremely well for a long time. If it had been privatized when Bush wanted to hand Social Security over to Wall Street, every last American would, by now, be Sh*t Out of Luck. We know that Wall Street is nothing more than a bunch of crooks who want to get their hands on Social Security funds. And they want it bad. So they can drain the billions of dollars funding SSI right into their pockets.
So the federal government can certainly handle health care as well, and put the For-Profit-Health-Care-Insurance Companies out of business. The young woman who died for lack of timely surgery due to the Insurance Company doing exactly what those insurance companies do best, namely, deny care when it is most needed, gives us a perfect example of a broken system. And the wrong model to start with.
