J'avais neuf ans quand l'incident s'est produit à la Kent State. Je rememeber l'indignation que tant d'adultes ressenti et exprimé. C'était un moment très triste et confus. Il semble que les choses n'ont pas obtenu beaucoup mieux ... très triste.
@dankmon1992 I had not heard of the nature of the injuries, and only of one death. I still did not say that it was not the perfect song. It came to my head to when I heard the news.
Killed (and approximate distance from the National Guard): Allison Krause 343 ft. (105 m); fatal left chest wound Jeffrey Glen Miller 265 ft. (81 m); shot through the mouth - killed instantly. Sandra Lee Scheuer 390 ft. (119 m); fatal neck wound . William Knox Schroeder 382 ft. (116 m); fatal chest wound .
The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students crossing campus -- students, not hippies -- and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
The saddest part is, there was a time when a band was able to make a song like this, and people would listen to it. Now all anyone wants to hear is "i'm sexy and I know it". Believe me, the establishment learned a lesson about the power of music back then and they've since corrected their mistake by inundating us with music that amounts to adult nursery rhymes to keep us stupid. Please click on my handle and listen to my Ron Paul song. It's not as good as this but it's better than Pitbull!!!
For those who think that they were 'drugged out hippies' that deserved to be shot and killed, it's worth pointing out that one of those killed, Bill Schroeder, was not a protester but an ROTC enlistee on his way to class, shot in the back from 382 feet away.
@thexalon You miss the point. If the drugged out hippies had not started throwing rocks, nobody, including the hippies themselves, would have been killed.
Ever been hit in the face with a rock? It's not fun. It was, after all, mankind's first projectile weapon, and with good reason.
@cdsorvinyl Instead of just looking at pictures, learn to read. The "protestors" were a violent mob that had started burning the town before the guardsmen showed up. Governor Rhodes gave an (admittedly bad) speech in an attempt to calm these fools down, all to no avail.
So, the troops were called in. The hippies still kept up the violence, and people got shot. However, the Guard didn't go there looking for trouble, the hippies did that, and they got some.
You are mistaken my friend. "It was not the "right call". The federal investigation under President Nixon thought otherwise. Four students who had nothing to do with the riot were walking to class and were killed by stray National Guard gunfire. If one of the students walking was your brother/sister would you have called it the "right call". Once again, there should not have had bullets in their guns.
@NonDramaZone You are a jackass if you think the people protesting the Vietnam War were just a bunch of hippies. Please tell me what did we get of that war? Other than lives. You cant put a price on someones life, please go talk to some of those famlies that lost people over there.
@musicfan088 BTW, I never said "All the people protesting... etc.", quote me right or not at all. But this incident at Kent State? Yes; drugged out hippies throwing rocks.
incompetent rookies...you got that right...then there were the seasoned ones that hated so called "hippies" so don't even go there... those seasoned ones are the paid criminals
the government is sick and WRONG. And like that creep running for president now. Leaving his first wife cos she had cancer. Threw the divorce papers on her dying bed. Had his affair while his wife was sick and married another. She has ms. once she was diag. He ran off with his third affair. What if her face gets mangled in a car wreck. He leaves her too. He has no morals. He is not 'godlike' and yet we want these idiots running america. SICK.
Yes but God can heal some bad things. But if your very very sick you cant just lie there and not go for medical help. Drs are ppl too and they do fuck up alot. I believe in herbs, medical care and God. Like my Grandma prayed for years for God to 'find them a house'. But did she look? No, she sat there and waited I guess for God to tell her to go down the street and around the corner and across town to find a house. Did it happen? was there gods intervention to show them to the perfect house?No.
@khart221 You're post is completely flawed. Christian's are against Medical Care from Hospitals, Doctors, etc. They believe "God is the only Medicine I need" Not medicine made by science. The lord will heal them. My grandfather 5 years ago was found in a ditch bleeding out of his nose, ears, and mouth, he said "God will save me, do not take me to the hospital" He's a Preachers. Science medicine goes again'st their faith because science proves the bibles wrong on the creation of man.
@MariposaGirl1981 It's the ilk of the 60s. Yes it was done in 1970, but if you were alive then, you would know - this is 60s nonsense. We started to dig out of this crap in the late 70s and started to get somewhat healthy through the 80s - thanks in great part to Ronald Reagan.
@amoskowitz0103 Reganomics only appeared to work because of the poor economic conditions beforehand, poverty under Regan increased from 8 to 12% and our debt increased from 20 to 46% of our GDP. He basically attempted to return to the 'free market' (read: corporate dominated) policies of the '20's. Anyone literate in American history knows what happened when Coolidge tried the whole 'trickle-down economics' thing....
No conspiracy or deep thought process about what occured at Kent State. As a retired military person I'm telling you it was just a tragic set of circumstances where National Guard incompentence led to the results. The officer corps let Ohio down by allowing scared rookies to have live ammo in their weapons. It never should have happed. Sad but not difficult to understand.
@phillip4644 It might be simple to you, but to a parent, it was shocking that our children in college could be killed there. It's also heartbreaking. RIP all.
@stjulienlepauvre I am sorry if you misunderstood my statement. When you talk about being a parent in 1970 and "our children" I am guessing you had children in college 42 years ago? I did use the word tragic and the word "simple" is yours. Take care.
@phillip4644 wasn't incompetence at all.. was a direct order that was the right call. Throwing molotov cocktails at army officers/attacking soldiers needs to be answered with the same force. honestly the riot would have got worse if it hadn't happened and more could have lost their lives. The individuals that were in the riot were there from around the US to purposely cause mayhem and they got what they wanted. Only reason it's framed as such a negative thing is so the army could appease the ppl
@phillip4644 Its much deeper than that . These men were under orders to kill kids that day . Government revenge for the ROTC fire. This was planned cold blooded murder.
You say you were in the service ????? Rules of engagement and fire discipline..Soldiers do not make these kinds of mistakes.
i dare anyone who is deeply religious to sit here and tell me that jesus would not support medical care for everyone on this planet. it is ridiculous for those to proclaim they have a strong connection with their christian faith, yet refuse to support medical care for everyone IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE
@khart221 the problem most people have with it is people who are lazy ass hell sitting on there asses feeding of others, even tho some people actually need it. its like 1 bad apple makes the rest look bad
@khart221 I strongly agree with you. Sadly there is an undercurrent of hate and for those individuals who need help. To me, the TP &GOP party have no understanding and seemingly no compassion for anyone but the ultra rich. They, instead are compassionate only to those "Bubba Riche"
You don't get it? Don't you read the fine print? Of course Medical Care for everyone would be just wonderful! And so would free homes, and free food, and how about free everything? Doesn't work that way. It has limits, and restrictions. Free Medicare means that the money is being paid by taxpayers, which also limits how much one can be medically treated..in private medicare, if you get what you need & pay for. With public, there are restrictions to what kind of aid you can receive.
@khart221 not every single religious person is a christian. all those retarded terorists or whatever injure all these people out of there will and christiands do support. its not like all the christians in the whole world can support everysingle suffering person. you think. america isnt the only country in the whole world. where i come from the poverty rate is high at some places and mostly all the people on the island help the poor and needy. you dont make any sense. now you prove your point
@khart221 we aren't against medical coverage. We are against government regulated medical coverage. The government can not be trusted with that money. It is a matter of getting the funds directly to the services with no middleman. hence, charities and non-profits. I don't know if you've noticed, but Washington, London, the U.n. and whoever else runs a country does not do so as a non-profit organization.
@emceeStormcrow ahh but doesn't a free market left alone from gov regulation leave someone holding the bag? free market capitalism doesn't promote fairness and equity, it promotes efficiency. as good as that is, this means that some people will be shit out of luck.. there needs to be a moderating influence on this industry (this is where the govt steps in)
@khart221 Furthermore, New Testament ethics does not promote fairness and equity. It promotes hard work and giving to charity. It promotes giving opportunities, not hand-outs.
@emceeStormcrow well how do you suggest we provide health care for all if not for the government "hand-outs" - should we have everyone wait on hands and knees for those philanthropic 1% to start donating to "health care charities"? this is why us "socialists" believe that there needs to be a slight redistribution of wealth so that taxes force those 1% to start contributing to make health care affordable for all. or we could wait on our hands and knees for those unselfish rich to start donating
@khart221 Health care is a basic human right. Period. Not a product to be bought or sold, or some "charity" to be given by a church on the condition that you abide by their beliefs. It is the responsibility, the DUTY, of society to provide this for ALL citizens.
@khart221 No, we shouldn't wait on the philanthropic 1%, nor should we base health care access on accepting beliefs. It is not the 1% who are required to supply health care; it is the Christians. And the Christians do not compose the 1%, yet they still give. We could give more without the bureaucracy. "socialism" always grows in a post-religious country to replace God with the state. However, enforcing moral behavior is not the same as allowing free citizens to live morally.
this will get everyone riled up but how about this... the vast majority of republicans fall under either of the following two categories: they're either a part of the 1% or they lack a solid educational background, live in the mid-west/south, pound pbr's and whiskey a daily basis, and probably could trace deceased family members back to the kkk
@shack8110 here's the thing, tell me one bad thing about them? they're too nice and generous? because that's evil and inhumane right? although bill maher can be a polarizing figure, i think he summed it up great when he told o'reilly that if jesus were to run the U.S., everyone would have health care. call me a damn socialist but that's the right thing to do, the humane thing to do...... ITS WHAT JESUS WOULD DO
@shack8110 the fanatics who preach they love jesus hold their bibles in one hand, while they tote their blood thirsty guns in the other! what happened to turn the other cheek? the fucking hypocrisy by some people in the country is astounding.. dont get me wrong im not generalizing this to all religious folk; im doing it to the select few who strongly believe in the 2nd amendment, an outdated provision intended for the times that date back to slavery
@khart221 The 2nd amendment and believing in it has nothing to do with religion. The men who wrote it lived under a tyrannical King who governed according to his whimsy. The 2nd amend. exists to insure we never return to that. It exists so we can protect ourselves from the government if needed. That situation may seem improbable now, it didn't seem improbable at Kent State the day this song was inspired. The 2nd amend. is the people's power to insure the remainder of the Constitution is upheld.
@Oddwun yes you proved my point it was 200 fucking years ago! it's outdated. and don't use this example of kent state to justify the 2nd amendment it was one instance over the course of 200 years and it will never happen again
turn the other cheek everyone please LIVE BY WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE
@khart221 If you think thet Kent State is the only time the U.S. government has used unwarranted violence against it's citizens in order to suppress or control what they are doing/thinking/saying/believing/discussing then you really need to become more informed. I am no whacko that thinks the government is coming after me, but I do know that things change. Your claim that something will never happen is ignorant. Everything will happen, the only question is how long it will take before it happens
@Oddwun ok i let my emotion carry that last comment away, there hvae been similar instances to Kent State, yes. but i dont understand your point really. americans have the right to protest peacefully, what do you want, for people to be firing rounds back at the police? i dont follow
@amoskowitz0103 Hmm, my history books says Americans revolted and fought a brutal war against a vastly superior force in order to win rights like the freedom of speech and the freedom to associate and the freedom to assemble. I guess you wish we didn't hold on and win that revolution so the government could shoot dead people who do those things.
@Oddwun Most history books that were written to be used in teaching these days are revisionist history books written by liberals... in other words, nearly entirely inaccurate.
2) Comparing Nixon and his administration to King George III and British Parliamentarian government is nonsensical. 3) There is a big difference between our founding fathers and a gang of snot-nosed, drug-addled teenagers with nothing better to do but cause civil unrest. This was gang violence - nothing more.
@Nationaltitlegroup My kids were raised to respect (not resent) authority. It's good they are gone before they had a chance to reproduce and add to the pollution that is the general population these days.
As far as having the right to make a total ass of yourself - congratulations on such a demonstrative display of exercising your rights.
@amoskowitz0103 your a disrespectful person who is clearly ignorant about the entire situation. And how the hell can you say that its a good thing that these 4 college students were killed? You sir/ma'am are a terrible man/woman and should realize that they were having a virtually peaceful protest, which is protected in the 1st amendment rights which your so called "authorities" are supposed to be protecting.
Who's ignorant? Rocks and bottles were thrown at National Guardsmen - other "kids" - the difference? The kids at whom the rocks and bottles were thrown were armed with automatic weapons. That's not peaceful. That's not the first amendment. ...and look where it has gotten us. There is no respect for authority anymore - NONE. The generation who were teenagers in the 60s set this world back 100 years. That's MY generation - and most of my peers are a disgrace.
@amoskowitz0103 They did'nt set us back at all. If anything they helped get us out of the unwinable war in Vietnam. In fact, I think we need them back right about now. And the gov't shouldn't have sent in National Guardsmen in to a peaceful protest, otherwise there wouldn't have been any violence, riot, or deaths. And NEVER put yourself on a pedastool above your peers, you've made mistakes too, and don't deny it.
@amoskowitz0103 this country was founded on the right to fight the government if the government was not meeting the needs or ideals of the majority of Americans. as a American citizen we have the right to non-violent protest. The founding fathers wanted us to be able to change and alter the government.
@farva23467 If it had been a nonviolent protest, we would not be discussing it and there would not be a half-baked, cacophonous "song" written about it.
@14armssh I was showing someone how pitiful the music was in the 60s. In order to get worse than this, you have to go to Dillon... but this is still pretty bad. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - what a friggin' joke.
Who's afraid? I'm not afraid? You need to limit yourself to Listening to Alex once a week.
Look at Eisenhowers "Farewell to the Nation" Speech in (i think 1961) He gives us a clue to what we are up against today. Both political Parties are into this up to their necks. Ron Paul is the only guy I hear out there right now talking about things in the right context. I'm not saying I agree with him on everypoint but he is headed in the right direction for sure.
@sneak108 In YOUR lifetime? you must've been born a couple of years ago. George W Bush is easily the worst president in my lifetime and may be the worst president in US history.
@ModernPlague simple: Many people say "oh he's against them all in Washington and on Wall Street, he wants to give back individual rights" Two great things but he also is a libertarian when it comes to the economy, meanign he wants the economy to be free from any regulations (= capitalism in its pure form). Well it was unregulated capitalism that made all these corporations so big, giving a shit about small entrepreneurs and practically controlling congress.
@n5ifi your posts made me laugh you gotta relax man the people you are talking to are probably either a) someone who is trolling b) someone who doesn't know what they are talking about or c) giving their own opinion
@pincheflakes There occupy wall street folks. Salt of the earth. They were trying to compare there fight to the fight that was going on back then. I've happily been pointing out the differences.
My teacher used this song for a powerpoint about the Vietnam war cause we're learning about it now. I think it had a great impact on society then and even now when people listen to it. They bring up some good points, like "What if you knew her" and stuff. I like this song, I must admit.
I wasn't alive when the Kent State shooting happened, but my mom and dad were and they raised me with this music. I love the majority of music between '60-'90s. I'm glad I was raised on deep meaningful music :]
That's easy.Do you guys/gals not understand at all.The very people you are protesting against are also the very people supporting socialist like Obama and Neocons like many of the republican candidates with the exception of maybe Ron Paul who is an outsider.I'm not here as a Paul supporter. I'm just pointing out that you are railing against the very people that your politicians are supported by.You are being used.You are wrong and your political ideology is keeping you from seeing the truth.
@n5ifi There are none who represent us but us. Don't want another Kent state. Only we will fix it without FEAR We can only be used if we count on our gov to "protect" us. They want us to be sheep and baa along to slaughter. Follow the laws our "elected" official are trying to slide in with good parts of legislation. The pres has a line item veto. Why is Obama not using it? Why is he not handing out executive orders all Republican pres have done? Think and fear nothing. Fear will ruin
Occupy is a complete joke. Occupy a port and who got hurt? Truck drivers who at 4 dollars a gallon diesel are struggling to stay affloat as it is. Congrats, you have stuck it to the man.
@n5ifi If the truck drivers are struggling to stay afloat, that's exactly why there's people out there at least TRYING to say/do something about it. What do you propose, just sit on your ass and do nothing but attempt weak ridicule of those standing up to speak out? How pathetic. What need is there to be so baselessly cynical about it? Where do you get that from? You might start to consider to reject whatever's deluding you into thinking pessimism and cynicism is your only choice of response.
Monday, May 4, 1970 at Kent State University Ohio. The National Guard murdered 4 innocent students. Allison Krause 343 ft. (105 m); fatal left chest wound -Jeffrey Glen Miller 265 ft. (81 m); shot through the mouth - killed instantly -Sandra Lee Scheuer 390 ft. (119 m); fatal neck wound -William Knox Schroeder 382 ft. (116 m); fatal chest wound .
They knew they were going to kill kids that day at morning formation.They wanted to make an example for the burning of the ROTC Offices. 4 kids shot at more that 100 yards - 3 walking to class with books in their hands. It was a clear case of murder by the state. We never recovered from this . This marked the beginning of the end.
Hey, compared to the rest of the world, everybody in the US is the "1%". The real challenge is not how compassionate can we compel a small group to be, but rather what are each of us doing to fulfill whatever responsibility we feel to the REAL 99%. CSNY asked a lot of great questions that we each need to answer and not attempt to foist that responsibility on others. So sorry for the soapbox, I haven't listened to these guys in decades and I am not too proud of how I have answered them
@sevensofar 'Scuse me, please speak for yourself. Maybe once I am able to make it through a whole year without being homeless or starving, I will consider my "responsibility" to the "real" 99%. I am an adult with a 2 year old and a dependent parter. I am a full time student and actively seeking employment as a pharmacy tech now that I qualify. There is hunger and homelessness and suffering right hear in the US, and the fact that someone, somewhere might have it worse doesn't change that.
nobody asked for opinions from the balcony , besides that why don't you tell us all about your utopia up there in the great white north /excuse me I forgot , I'll just ask the other 1/2 of your country living in Florida right now !! Seems the great white north aint so great this time of the year ,is it ?
@CHILDRENOFBOBODOM As I understand, Canadian's as well as us citizens are against the tar sands pipe line. You feel superior to our relatives in Canada? They camp to washington dc, that does not support any of it's constituents, and surrounded the "white house" dark as it has become, to stop Keystone. What have you done lately?
Government control in any form is tyranny. Obama's socialism or Bush's fascism. Listen to Ron Paul with an open mind and decide for yourself. Americans are meant to be free people.
@HarpoWells1 If you think Obama's a socialist and Bush is a fascist then you aren't exactly one to talk about how to be open-minded. Your time would also be well-spent looking up both those terms on Wikipedia. You might learn something.
40 years ago we praised the anti-establishment patriots.
.
Now, we demonize them. Doesnt matter if its the Tea Party-ers or the OWS movement. We're being trained to hate anyone who protests.
.
At the end of the day, we all want the same thing.
.
One thing is clear, the government wants to crush ALL opposition whether it comes from the "racist extremist Tea Party Right wingers" or the "Liberal hippie dirty OWS-ers".
@jakesteel1 but I'm not exactly sure why you say "we" prasied anti-establishment patriots 40 years ago. There was just as many if not more back then that didn't--as the whole Kent State atrocity clearly shows among many other things.
@jakesteel1 Did you live back then? What gives you the notion standing up to the government was "praised"? And what makes you think it isn't now? I mean really who do you ever hear going around saying it's "unpatriotic" to do that? I never hear anyone say or even imply that. But I find most people with a brain these days avoid words and concepts like "patriotic" or "unpatriotic" altogether. It's simply about doing what's right from wrong.
Greaaaat song. Lets make youtube a BETTER place. We can expand rock and roll and get youth to hear it. Neil young, ccr, fleetwood mac and more. Lets provide a good old movement!
@charadeyouareha Neil Young gets a lot of disliikes on his videos. That is because he's an epic fail and politically has no idea what he is saying. His weed and alcohol speak for him. Will neil young remember? A southern man don't need him around anyhow.
The death toll in Egypt is significant, however what happened in Ohio in 1970 is also significant ..... it is interesting how these events are linked and how recent history offers a narative of the never ending struggle to confront power.
@earthbndmsfit its a lot more than just 35 man i live in cairo and i see the people dieing from the nerve gas that they are using , its not a good picture and lets hope they didn't die for no reason .
Suddenly everything old is new again. Take your pepper-spray and your rubber bullets and shove 'em up your ass Mr. Officer sir. Try real bullets and we get stronger. It's been a long fight but we win.
@SecondComingTwice The protest of the 60's were for the most part the right thing to do. The war was bogus. Where are the protest against the wars now? Where have the protesters from the last administration gone? The wars today have suddenly become blessed? The 60's protest went on no matter the political party. The whole thing was rightous. Today, Not so much. The occupy wall street protesters are in no way simuliar. If it were all rightous they would be in front of the Whitehouse too.
@n5ifi How is your job going? Can't afford time off? Pay your respects to the man and leave the future to those who know only we will deem what that means. Can you say Keystone? Can you say FISA? Do you know the meaning of FEMA? So much darkness and so little light.

For those who think that they were 'drugged out hippies' that deserved to be shot and killed, it's worth pointing out that one of those killed, Bill Schroeder, was not a protester but an ROTC enlistee on his way to class, shot in the back from 382 feet away.
thexalon 3 weeks ago 16
@thexalon You miss the point. If the drugged out hippies had not started throwing rocks, nobody, including the hippies themselves, would have been killed.
Ever been hit in the face with a rock? It's not fun. It was, after all, mankind's first projectile weapon, and with good reason.

@cdsorvinyl Instead of just looking at pictures, learn to read. The "protestors" were a violent mob that had started burning the town before the guardsmen showed up. Governor Rhodes gave an (admittedly bad) speech in an attempt to calm these fools down, all to no avail.
So, the troops were called in. The hippies still kept up the violence, and people got shot. However, the Guard didn't go there looking for trouble, the hippies did that, and they got some.

Had his affair while his wife was sick and married another. She has ms. once she was diag. He ran off with his third affair. What if her face gets mangled in a car wreck. He leaves her too. He has no morals. He is not 'godlike' and yet we want these idiots running america. SICK.

Yes but God can heal some bad things. But if your very very sick you cant just lie there and not go for medical help. Drs are ppl too and they do fuck up alot. I believe in herbs, medical care and God. Like my Grandma prayed for years for God to 'find them a house'. But did she look? No, she sat there and waited I guess for God to tell her to go down the street and around the corner and across town to find a house. Did it happen? was there gods intervention to show them to the perfect house?No.

So basically, join the National Guard if you want to shoot college kid, and inherit a large student loan if you want to be a college kid.

@khart221 You're post is completely flawed. Christian's are against Medical Care from Hospitals, Doctors, etc. They believe "God is the only Medicine I need" Not medicine made by science. The lord will heal them. My grandfather 5 years ago was found in a ditch bleeding out of his nose, ears, and mouth, he said "God will save me, do not take me to the hospital" He's a Preachers. Science medicine goes again'st their faith because science proves the bibles wrong on the creation of man.

No conspiracy or deep thought process about what occured at Kent State. As a retired military person I'm telling you it was just a tragic set of circumstances where National Guard incompentence led to the results. The officer corps let Ohio down by allowing scared rookies to have live ammo in their weapons. It never should have happed. Sad but not difficult to understand.

@phillip4644 wasn't incompetence at all.. was a direct order that was the right call. Throwing molotov cocktails at army officers/attacking soldiers needs to be answered with the same force. honestly the riot would have got worse if it hadn't happened and more could have lost their lives. The individuals that were in the riot were there from around the US to purposely cause mayhem and they got what they wanted. Only reason it's framed as such a negative thing is so the army could appease the ppl

You don't get it? Don't you read the fine print? Of course Medical Care for everyone would be just wonderful! And so would free homes, and free food, and how about free everything? Doesn't work that way. It has limits, and restrictions. Free Medicare means that the money is being paid by taxpayers, which also limits how much one can be medically treated..in private medicare, if you get what you need & pay for. With public, there are restrictions to what kind of aid you can receive.

@khart221 we aren't against medical coverage. We are against government regulated medical coverage. The government can not be trusted with that money. It is a matter of getting the funds directly to the services with no middleman. hence, charities and non-profits. I don't know if you've noticed, but Washington, London, the U.n. and whoever else runs a country does not do so as a non-profit organization.

@emceeStormcrow ahh but doesn't a free market left alone from gov regulation leave someone holding the bag? free market capitalism doesn't promote fairness and equity, it promotes efficiency. as good as that is, this means that some people will be shit out of luck.. there needs to be a moderating influence on this industry (this is where the govt steps in)

@khart221 Furthermore, New Testament ethics does not promote fairness and equity. It promotes hard work and giving to charity. It promotes giving opportunities, not hand-outs.
emceeStormcrow 2 weeks ago
@emceeStormcrow well how do you suggest we provide health care for all if not for the government "hand-outs" - should we have everyone wait on hands and knees for those philanthropic 1% to start donating to "health care charities"? this is why us "socialists" believe that there needs to be a slight redistribution of wealth so that taxes force those 1% to start contributing to make health care affordable for all. or we could wait on our hands and knees for those unselfish rich to start donating
khart221 2 weeks ago
@khart221 Health care is a basic human right. Period. Not a product to be bought or sold, or some "charity" to be given by a church on the condition that you abide by their beliefs. It is the responsibility, the DUTY, of society to provide this for ALL citizens.
micmac99 2 weeks ago
@khart221 No, we shouldn't wait on the philanthropic 1%, nor should we base health care access on accepting beliefs. It is not the 1% who are required to supply health care; it is the Christians. And the Christians do not compose the 1%, yet they still give. We could give more without the bureaucracy. "socialism" always grows in a post-religious country to replace God with the state. However, enforcing moral behavior is not the same as allowing free citizens to live morally.
emceeStormcrow 2 weeks ago
this will get everyone riled up but how about this... the vast majority of republicans fall under either of the following two categories: they're either a part of the 1% or they lack a solid educational background, live in the mid-west/south, pound pbr's and whiskey a daily basis, and probably could trace deceased family members back to the kkk

@khart221 The 2nd amendment and believing in it has nothing to do with religion. The men who wrote it lived under a tyrannical King who governed according to his whimsy. The 2nd amend. exists to insure we never return to that. It exists so we can protect ourselves from the government if needed. That situation may seem improbable now, it didn't seem improbable at Kent State the day this song was inspired. The 2nd amend. is the people's power to insure the remainder of the Constitution is upheld.

@SecondComingTwice The protest of the 60's were for the most part the right thing to do. The war was bogus. Where are the protest against the wars now? Where have the protesters from the last administration gone? The wars today have suddenly become blessed? The 60's protest went on no matter the political party. The whole thing was rightous. Today, Not so much. The occupy wall street protesters are in no way simuliar. If it were all rightous they would be in front of the Whitehouse too.

@n5ifi How is your job going? Can't afford time off? Pay your respects to the man and leave the future to those who know only we will deem what that means. Can you say Keystone? Can you say FISA? Do you know the meaning of FEMA? So much darkness and so little light.
