I have, after all, been listening to people tell a similar simplistic stories about US History for 50+ years, and oddly, the stories keep getting simpler and simpler and simpler which is odd now that we speak to a world wide readership now and info is so much easier to find. It would seem that one may have re-thought some of the simple " 'merica best, everybody else sucks" stories which are now the essential story behind all stories here.

You lot NEVER respond to a single point EVER, never engage in any give and take and you 'turn around' things and act as if you are the victims of some unprovoked 'attack' when all you are getting is exactly what you give.

Why are you surprised when somebody presents a strong opinion----and backs it up with references to things well known?

By the way, you and Footsie and Chuckies totally disregarding and brushing aside any and all opinions differing from your truly odd and slanted views is one is the reasons why the public became fed up with the previous Administration and the corrupt gang of crooks infesting the Republican Party.

Notice the last election results?
That's what happens when people think of clowns who dismiss all discourse and only fire dud broadsides.

That's why I asked the delicate Foutinitio who he was presuming to speak for when he said "WE"..
Simple question really, too bad he can't answer it.

First off your rambling discourses often require about 3 readings for me to discover a point of argument I can identify and respond to.

Secondly, you keep advocating public healthcare options to someone who HAS PUBLIC HEALTHCARE, who has 4 nurses in the family (Mother, aunt, 2 cousins) who have dealt with public healthcare and live in a country where the nationalized public healthcare system is either a source of pride or concern. I have pointed out more than once that the system does have its advantages, But I think it is the wrong time and choice for Americans. For you to try to stand there on your ivory tower and lecture me how superior my system is ludricious. I know the cost I pay in every pay check where there is a large sum of my money going to the Provincial government to fund it. I know there is a waiting list for procedures any schmuck in Buffalo could get by Tuesday for stuff like knee replacements, Isotopic Cancer treatments. Hell, we used to have to wait months for MRI's. Don't tell me how public healthcare is going to make things better in the US. I know that many politicians of all stripes in this country have tried to improve and truly make out system work and they have all failed to a degree. The US economy is teetering on the edge and you have idiots like Nancy Pelosi promising public healthcare for all at no extra cost. Only a naive fool would believe that, no matter how much he wants public healthcare.

Furthermore, you continue to insult where you think my opinions come from without knowing who I am, or where I put this opinion to gether. That's fine. Do what you want, I am not going to cry over it, but you do realize of course what a pompous argument you are giving at times.

As for the last US Administration, well they certainly wet the bed for John McCain, I wont quibble that. Perception of the public will turn or approve of any politician, but it is usually historians 100 years hence that are able to accurately judge the actions of any leader. Dubya isn't going to make any list of best Presidents, but he isn't the boob many think he is either. As for the current man in the White House, the jury is out, but this maddening rush to provide public healthcare for all in the US that Obama keeps trying to sneak in is proof positive the man is on his way to be a one term President. A majority of Americans when shown the truth about public healthcare are saying no.
