Universal healthcare - which you used to be for is the kind of thing that gets labeled as socialism.

I have NEVER been for Universal Healthcare. I've never liked the misleading name, that assumes more than you get in the name.
People throw it around like it's a Government healthcare system. But when you look under the hood, it's just another way to frame Insurance. A monopoly Insurance.

Public Option and all of those stupid things is not Government Ran Healthcare.

I have said since my first day here. I would like to see about 2/3rds of the Infantry Military budget, taken away and used on Government Hospitals, and Active personnel.
Where they go to a 2 year basic training for Nursing, then have to work 5 to 10 years before they can private. And 8 year training for Doctors. This way people from all backgrounds can become Doctors without needing to have a Kennedy living in your Zip code.

I have always derided "Universal Healthcare" because people thow it around, but never once tried to actually define it. Being an astute Student of modern politics. That is how we end up with Shit like Obamacare, because everyone assumes by the name of the legislation that it's in our best interests. Obamacare proved I'm right for always suspecting, that some legislation called "Affordable Healthcare" without being able to simple describe how it benefits Every American. Would be a sham.

The Affordable Healthcare Act is only affordable to those that get it Scott Free. The Illegal Aliens, and lazy sorry sacks of shit, that refuse to work, while we support their sorry asses.


I think with a militarized healthcare system. People who don't work and never worked, but use the services. Can be conscripted into a repayment through working in the System some how.

Owen Jones, ugh.

You ever notice the Liberal memes are either over-the-top fear-mongering, repurposed Right Wing Memes, or full of breathless text

Oops, I forgot the 4th Category: Condescending Self-Righteousness. This is also Breathless Text.

What Food Stamps, HUD Housing, and Cash Benefits did Italian, Jewish, Irish Immigrants receive 1860-1940?

Did Al Capone's, Dean O'Banion's, and Meyer Lansky's criminal relatives back in the old Country get all but guaranteed citizenship the moment they arrived?

Was it demanded they Learn English immediately, get jobs right away, and say America was the Greatest?

Or were they encouraged to maintain their distance from the Evil Mainstream WASP society?

Also, for the record, Nazi germany called itself socialist - but it was fascist, authoritarian, and somewhat corporatist.

All different words for the same problem.

Just evil repugnant bastards. And Democrats have the audacity to bitch and moan about Trump's choice of words, when he calls these Evil sons of bitches out?

Oh, that reminds me, I gotta go check and make sure Red States are purging the voter rolls of the dead and illegals.

Very important.

Tell your unoriginal friend he's Ben Garrisoning all wrong.

Everything Ben cartoons about, is a verifiable fact. He's not projecting his political feelz. He's the greatest political Historian Cartoon Journalist since at least the late 1800's, then early 1900's and the 1920's. You would have to go back to those three eras to find his equals. This guy should stop embarrassing himself.
