Any thoughts or opinions? I think it's about time 0bama did get impeached.
If Obama wasn't here, there wouldn't even be the Obamacare problem which divided and polarized America and caused the people to vote for a divided Congress.
Wow, you people are ****ing mental.
Wow, you BANKING CARTELS are ****ing mental.
Any thoughts or opinions? I think it's about time 0bama did get impeached.Why? Did he have oral sex with an intern?
Obama's last act will be legalizing marijuana, while chiefing a blunt.
Sorry to inform you, but people have problems everywhere. Even in your country. Ignorance would make you think otherwise, as is obvious by your statement.Of course they do. I'll justify my original statement, though.

I, along with much of the civilised world (which, by now, is seemingly more likely to include North Korea than the once "Land of the Free"), am looking on at the situation in the US with a mixture of incredulity and abject horror. Access to basic health care is predicated not on need, but on ability to pay - this is an utterly inhumane system, and it boggles the mind that anyone not currently profiting from that system is stupid enough to try and defend it - it's utterly indefensible. The reason that Obamacare is in a mess is not because it's unworkable (it's not, look at health care systems across, again, the civilised world), but because of vested interests trying to make it so. This largely comes down to the GOP "fighting the good fight" to keep the healthcare cartels in business. Not fighting "for your freedom", or even in the interests of fiscal policy, but fighting on a purely ideological basis that anything Obama says or does is wrong. Hell, the original ACA bill, before it got cut to ****ing ribbons by amendment after interest-loaded amendment, was a carbon copy of what the Republicans had themselves been calling for in 1993. And now the ****wits are holding the entire country to ransom. But this is somehow Obama's fault.
So yes, you Americans are mental. Those, like our trollworthy friend Mr Windows and Krogenar* who seem to consider Obamacare an abomination because - well, because that's a completely mental stance to take, and those who are on the other side because you haven't taken your plentiful supply of weapons and started forcefully ejecting the scum that are making your country a worse place for everyone.
It's worth considering that the gap between the rich and the poor in the US is arguably wider now than it was in pre-revolutionary France, and the situation is only getting worse. 1789 didn't work out too well for the rich, and their poor only had pitchforks.
* Who does at least appear to believe what he's saying - whether that puts him in the camp of "vested interests" or "morons" is a matter for debate.

Have you seen what these pigs do to people? Good luck revolting.
We could start with getting rid of this 2 party system. Holding politicians accountable for their actions. Having them be truly transparent with who is giving them money and why they are voting the way they are
And on a local level, holding cops and their unions accountable for their brutality and itchy trigger fingers.
We need to stop electing people based on what party they are in.
If the government was smart, they would abolish this bi-partisan system and just say that all politicians are part of the "Jackass" party. No more of this "oh, it's the democrats fault" or "it's the republicans fault". IT'S ALL OF YOUR DAMN FAULTS AND YOU'RE ALL MEMBERS OF THE JACKASS PARTY!!!
Quite frankly, you don't live in the United States. So how do you think you know more about political affairs that go on here than us Americans do?I'd wager I've forgotten more about politics in general, and probably US politics in particular, than you'll ever know. As for how I keep up to date with what's going on from my little hidey-hole here in communist frenchystan, I've discovered this miracle of modern technology called "the internet". You could try it, but you might not like it - initially it looks a bit like Fox News, but once you scratch the surface it's full of all sorts of nasty things like dissenting opinions and, lord forbid, facts.
Maybe you should read about how Obamacare was passed.I know all about how Obamacare was passed. And how it was hobbled prior to being passed, and how the Republicans are trying to kill what started off as, and still contains at its heart, the most decent piece of law the US has seen in the last 20 years. Yes, there are glitches in it, many of which are due to GOP filibustering and obstruction, but what piece of law /doesn't/ have glitches? What government program /doesn't/ have wasteful spending?
Or, even better, how about your country's government's wonderful fiscal situation?I don't actually consider myself as having a country. I do have a passport, but it doesn't come from where you think it does. As for France's fiscal situation - currently better than the US's for the majority of indicators.

That was clearly a tongue in cheek comment. To actually think somebody believes that is ridiculous.Maybe so, maybe not. I joke about a lot of stuff demik, but to joke about North Korea, and then expect to be taken seriously is just not possible. It means you're not serious about politics. And that's fine, tufty can say whatever he wants, but I can't take him seriously. A few posts back he said he had "forgotten more about U.S. politics" than some of us would ever know. Really? Did he know North Korea is one of (if not the) most repressive state on the planet? He seems to have forgotten that bit.

Wait. You're independent. Hate politics but youre already making up your mind on who to vote before you even hear their policies?? I don't even.

Yes, he should be impeached. He could be replaced with a small animal (although probably not a squirrel), and we would have better leadership.
I really hope that Ted Cruz gets the Republican nomination in 2016, although that is going to be an uphill battle for him, since he has pissed of the establishment in the GOP. He is one of the only senators we have in Washington with half a brain at all. He seems to be the only one with the cojones to stand up to the special interests and cronyism that is rampant in D.C. And that is exactly what we need in our nation's leader. Someone who has the attitude of, "Damn the political consequences, I'm going to do what's right." And to think I voted for Dewhurst after the smear campaign he launched against Cruz in 2012.

Don't do it! I voted for Perot and ended up putting Clinton in office! Vote Republican because they've done less to flush the country down the toilet than the Democrats. Sure, they're gutless and kill puppies for fun, but at least with them in office there's a slim, slim chance the government won't get any bigger.

That's what I did. Like I said, it may be naive, but I still think it was the best option.
I think its easy to recognize the issue, but what can we do about it?
revolt!
I think this will only happen when:
1. We run out of oil
2. We run out of food
3. We run out of water
Otherwise I think Americans are too lazy to do anything like revolt for real. We got football (the real kind) to watch.

The United States doesn't need the NHS as a guidebook. We have our own. It's called Medicare and Medicaid. They are going broke and cannot be sustained without more borrowed money or sharply reduced services. When human life is regarded as disposable — as with unborn babies — and cost control replaces treatment as the main objective, then anything that enables government to reduce costs is possible. It then is only a matter of conditioning the public to accept lower-quality care and rationing.
This does, however, touch on one underlying truth - healthcare is not free, it costs money. Significant amounts of money. There's no way of "balancing the books", it /must/ be subsidised or otherwise restricted to "those who can pay".
The UK's NHS has been suffering from underfunding and government mismanagement (due to incompetence and / or malice) since it was first conceived.
This does, however, touch on one underlying truth - healthcare is not free, it costs money. Significant amounts of money. There's no way of "balancing the books", it /must/ be subsidised or otherwise restricted to "those who can pay".
This is what I find so disheartening about politics. The government steps in to "fix" something (make it magically "free"), screws it up, and then is once again called upon to fix the new problem that they created! They interfere in the healthcare market (Medicaid, Medicare) in foolish ways, and then when the market reacts poorly, they muck it up a bit more, and the process repeats until we have what all progressives seem to dream about -- a single-payer system. It would be the real life equivalent of hiring a contractor to fix your roof. He causes the roof to drop down into your home, crushing much of what you own. You then re-hire him to renovate your home (due to the damage) and he manages to flood the basement. Eventually, you are living in a tent which is owned by the contractor. Any normal person would say to the contractor, "You've done enough, no more!" but not progressives, they keep on believing in government.
Healthcare, unfortunately, is a marketAnd that's the single, utterly crucial, point on which we differ. My view is that healthcare shouldn't be - indeed, in a society that cares about its citizens, can't be - "a market". It's a fundamental need which should be provided by and for a society in its entirety. Treatment should be available on a basis of need rather than on profitability and ability to pay. A fully "market led" system puts profitability ahead of patients.
I want you to use the critical thinking skills you boast about to really think about what you just said here.I fail to see the disconnect. The NHS /has/ been underfunded since it was created.

Healthcare is a basic need. It has a cost, and that cost should be borne by society as a whole. The more wealthy in society helping the most needy.

This reminds me of the Metrodome collapsing a couple years ago. They hired the same company that built it the first time to do the repairs. I thought to myself "really? that doesn't make much sense." I even had some friends who believe in the government voice a similar opinion about not trusting the same company to repair their mistakes. Funny that that sort of logic doesn't apply to the government messing things up. The government couldn't possibly screw things up, or if they do it's just a fluke. They always have our best interests in mind. :rolleyes:

whether that puts him in the camp of "vested interests" or "morons" is a matter for debate.It's quite clearly "morons".
Yes, Mao's cultural revolution caused millions of deaths. So did Stalin's purges. But revolutions in general are never pretty, and there's been a good few more right-wing ones that turned out pretty nasty too. Pinochet's Chile springs to mind, for example. When murderous maniacs get hold of power, they tend to kill people. That's a bit obvious, really.
As for the NHS, I never aid that it was incompetent and malevolent, I said it had been managed at government levels by those who are either incompetent or outright malevolent. The suggestion, as you're apparently too dense to see it, is that government should change, not the NHS itself.
With the exception of North Korea, which really seems to have got a bug up your ass.Yes, the wholesale slaughter of innocent human beings by their own government really irks me. It apparently doesn't irk you enough to make you reconsider the wisdom of giving government that much authority.
Still, you've managed to clear one thing up for me. Earlier, I saidwhether that puts him in the camp of "vested interests" or "morons" is a matter for debate.It's quite clearly "morons".
Yes, /that/ was name calling. In case you missed it.

On what basis? Is it the fact that he's fired more cruise missiles than all other nobel laureates combined?What a bizarre and misleading comparison. Wouldn't it make more sense to use a category that's actually relavant? Like Presidents of the United States, or heads of state in general or something?

Unfortunately, so is Congress, the biggest criminal organization in the United States. (I remember reading that Americans actually have more respect for prostitutes and drug dealers than they have for Congressmen.)
But an oily snake oil salesman is still better than a paranoid and thoroughly evil fascist with no heart. (It's some guy who calls himself ****.)
If you impeach Obama, might as well do the rest for all of Congress and all the lobbyist scum. Bring to power a bunch of greens and hippies and America might actually stop invading other countries and subsidizing big businesses. It would actually be good for the average American!
I think the main problem with impeaching Obama is that Joe Biden would end up becoming president. Best impeach them both I guess.

Lincoln had the guts to do the right thing despite that fact. That alone shows more integrity than all other presidents to date combined.
We need another president like this.
As the president, he had told Kyl after the Arizonan raised objections to the notion of a tax credit for people who don’t pay income taxes, Obama told Cantor this morning that "on some of these issues we’re just going to have ideological differences."
The president added, "I won. So I think on that one, I trump you."

A fascinating story about Lincoln: when news that the Civil War was over reached Washington, a spontaneous parade ensued. They marched to the White House, reveling in their victory over the Confederates, and when the President came to White House porch they asked him what song they should play while they marched -- Lincoln suggested 'Dixie' -- a distinctly Southern song, as a reminder that even in victory, the Confederates were still our countrymen.
A lesser man would have used the opportunity to gloat -- but not Lincoln. He was more interested in ending the war and healing the rift between North and South. That's what made him a great president.
