Matthews thought he had a dumbass and this guy did an incredible job of staying calm and intellectually kicking Matthew's ass. Chris just screams at the guy question after random question, to try and make him look dumb. It look so damn pathetic, he just goes on forever trying to find something this guy doesn't know about and then gives up because the guy is smarter than him This was perfect. I wouldn't condone bringing a gun to any Pres rally though, but I understand the point he made.
... what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Stevens Smith, November 13, 1787
Hey Chris, Mr Kostric was also wearing SHOES to the "Presidential"event, aren't you afraid the he might have been there to KICK the President to death? EVERY presidential assassin has worn SHOES when they committed their dirty deeds!!
Hey Chris, you spend your entire life in the public eye arguing your f-up political view on your own format. What is it like to be made to look like a fool by an average Joe on the street. Do you not understand that millions of Americans carry guns everywhere they go? We have the right to keep and bear arms. What about that do you not understand?
Stupid Liberal. let the man talk or are to scared you will put on the spot on live TV? You talking about the History of gun at presidential events. He brought a gun and nothing happened.
what about the african american guy with a ar15 that you edited the video to make it look like a white man starting a race war? nothing happened at that presidential event either
Goddamn, regardless of what political party you are I am going to kick Chris Matthews ass if I see him walking down the street. Someone shove a dick in his mouth.
I've never watched Chris Matthews, and now I'm glad I don't. He's a loudmouth. Does he always yell? I hate journalists who don't shut the hell up and not let their guest talk.
Matthews gets The Biggest Douchebag In The Universe Award, and keeps it until some other asshole from MSNBC or another Creepazoid commercial network out-douches him.
Kostric should have replied thus; "Because I CAN, you fucking douchebag.".
When a bunch of thieves break into chris mattews home at night and start stealing all his shit, then maybe moving on to his wife and daughter for a little fun, all he can/will do is talk over and yell at the thieves lol.... he wont even be able to protect his own family because he refuses to own a gun. I will be one of a many who wont feel sorry for him...only his wife and daughter because they depended on such an unamerican piece of shit for safety and security.
I wish that intelligent citizens like this man could harass all the stupid, drone tv personalities instead of the other way around. I would actually watch the "news" then...
Let me get this straight. Carrying a loaded gun to a Presidential event, and a sign that refers to assassinations of elected leaders… on top of this nut, who has NO CLUE that the association of these two "clearly visible" props would lead ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER to scream, "PUT THE GOD-DAMNED GUN DOWN…" somehow doesn't manufacture the brain-power of a Teahead to think… "Duh, maybe this isn't such a good idea?" Then again, threatening folks with guns IS fun, isn't it?!
@neukertification no. some one does not know how to read a reply to oneself as a continuation because youtube does not have enough s[ace to comment fully on a subject (jesus christ...the bottom of the barrel folks.)
@neukertification by going on and on you mean not repeating "your close minded and brain washed" and actually contributing to the conversation? are you intimidated by many words lil one? is that what you mean by on and on?
@neukertification well apparently your scared to read them.you view any amount of large words as one sided.to you if it cant be said in a paragraph it should not be said at all.its not my fault that you need to keep repeating the words close minded,sheep etc etc...i defy you to call the study i posted on domestic spending vs foreign spending,the left and its insistence on hatred and division,the truth about frances health care system,and finally how the WHO misleads with its numbers.
@neukertification um no you do.no ones responsible for that except yourself.no one owes it to you.much like it is up you to defend yourself from violent attack with a gun.psssst its called your second amendment.
@thebackbencher666 I do not give a F!@@ about guns. I really do not care if I have the right to own a gun. Never had one and never feel the need to get one. So whoopie u have the right to own one. I rather not walk around paranoid thinking that someday, somewhere, somebody is going to kill me, so I better get a gun. I am more worried about getting sick and losing my house because I can't afford to pay my bills.
@neukertification 1 well you may not think anyone's going to kill you because you live in a wonderful neighborhood but some of us do not.it does not matter if your a gun guy or not.what should concern you is that people in power will take away something that you have a right to.it matters not that you do not take advantage of that right.the state must be stoped from taking your rights for is they can they will take rights that you do care about.
@thebackbencher666 I do not live in a nice neighborhood, because I do not owe a gun u assume so. That us the problem with this country we love to kill each other. More people are killed by gunshot then anything else, and that itself is costing the taxpayers money. My taxes are paying for victims of gunshots and all having all these victims carries a burden on the healthcare system.
@neukertification um no more people are killed by cars then anything else.just because you do not want to defend yourself does not mean i dont.where i used to live a kid got stabbed in the neck outside my place and another shot.i notice how you dont differentiate between criminals using guns to kill and citizens defending themselves.to you its just "killing each other" fact is where you have more legal guns you have less crime.its a fact.srry.
@neukertification i assume you support tax cuts then so that you could afford proper healthcare or are you proposing theft from others to pay for you....
@thebackbencher666 I do not support tax cuts dude. What is that shit about getting everything free. I worked all my live and payed taxed all my live, my taxes are used for the wars, for teenage pregnancies, for jails, and let me tell you my taxes are paying for the HEALTHCARE for the members of congress, now that is what I call a freebee! Then do not pay nothing for their care and they have the best healthcare and they want to deny us that those same benefits. Hope u are happy being a peasant.
@neukertification no why would you.so you worked your whole life to have someone else pay for your healthcare? good job being a mooch.do you know what the members of congress have? tax incentives and write offs....thats what we call the ryan plan for medicaid but whos counting right?
@thebackbencher666 I worked all my life to pay for other people's healthcare. Congress healthcare is payed for by us, they do not pay for their own healthcare. Healthcare industry is 60% of our GDP. Other nations do not make profits from sick people like they do here.
@neukertification do you know what the word unsustainable is? as a working man why do you not understand the concept of wealth creation as opposed to freebies? wouldn't the problem be solved if people had more wealth? yes it would.stop sending us to the poor house for your freebie.its unsustainable.we cant do it anymore.other nations can go fuck themselves.thats why people in the Canadian govt come here for their helathcare,you want the british helathcare system? yuk.and no we dont pay for cong
@thebackbencher666 you know what is unsustainable? The 2 wars, foreign aid to other countries to buy political influence, our Military Industrial Complex, Subsidies for big agriculture business. To mention healthcare, no people do not come here from Canada for healthcare, there are only a few. Canadians are for the most part very happy with their system. The French healthcare system is the best and actually Britains is very good too. USA is 37th in the world.
@neukertification ummmm people dont come here from canada for healthcare? really? just a few? you mean the few privileged that can afford it? how about a premier from canada...google /publius/2010/02/02/canadian-premier-comes-to-u-s-for-health-care/
@thebackbencher666 Dude.. Did you ever hear of surgical tourism? How Americans go oversees to countries like Thailand, India , China for surgeries that they can't afford here The Canadian was probably referred to a specialist here in the USA and he probably could afford to pay for his surgery. I work in the medical field, billing department. For one bandaid that cost 10 cents, patient get charged 19 dollars. I can go on and on. USA is not number one in the world in healthcare but 37th.
@neukertification here is what i want you to do.i want you to help obama in 2012.i want you to make youtube videos, make youtube comments, wear t shirts carry signs, and i want you to tell the american people that you want a British style top down government controlled health care system like Britain and canda.thats what i want you to do.
@thebackbencher666 Do you want to get charged 19 dollars for a bandaid. I do not like the profits the insurance companies are making off the backs of sick and poor people. You won't find that anywhere else in the world. I admire you for loving your country and I love this country too, but it does not mean that we should allow our goverment to treat their citizens like that. This is a great country, but it has its faults like any country in the world.
@neukertification i know i know....hate bush hate the insurance companies hate big oil...we get it.industry bad government good....we know. just let the government take it all over...i trust them.what do you mean profit off sic people? like hospitals? like doctors? where do you get this hateful class warfare greedy language? how about we help people get wealthy so they can do what they want instead of taxing and hating everyone.
@thebackbencher666 I am not a Bush hater, I thought he was intellectually challenged, not a very bright person, althought he is probably a very nice man. Cheney and Rumsfeld were running the show. Insurance companies are making millions in profits, most money goes to Insurance companies, not to hospitals or doctors. Do more research, stop the tunnelvision.
@neukertification saying do the research means nothing to me.i suppose a man saying there are 57 states is brilliant...yeah he said it...hes the dumbest man in every room he walks into.insurance=insurance.what you are advocating (other then hatred) is give aways.not insurance.your not insured against anything if you can get everything.you dont have a right to healthcare.you have a right to be able to make money to buy whatever you want.what dont you advocate that instead of promising fake "free
@neukertification Let’s face it, when you get right down to it, all of liberalism is fueled by a singular strategy-a strategy which has been continually perfected and relentlessly executed over the past forty years. That strategy is to promote and exploit divisiveness.Everything liberal politicians do is based on this simple principle. Tell the people that are given to hating the most, that they are the ones who are hated. Tell the people who expect the most, that they deserve more.
@thebackbencher666 Tell blacks to hate whites. Tell women to hate men. Tell the lazy to hate the motivated. Tell the poor that only conservatives are rich, and then be sure to tell them to hate them for it.Class warfare, race baiting, name calling and man-hating-all with a singular goal: to get themselves in power by promoting and exploiting divisiveness.
@thebackbencher666 Of course, once this divisiveness turns into frenzy, these same people suddenly act as if they actually want to solve a problem that didn’t even exist before they did everything they possibly could to create it.To liberals, every issue, every situation is an opportunity to divide. History, religion, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the death of a soldier, a political debate, the hurricane which devastated New Orleans. Every tragedy exploited to divide.
@thebackbencher666 Every victory belittled to divide. Every incident, every word, every distorted statistic, every holiday-you name it, they will find some way to divide it.Unfortunately, it’s not just the politicians who promote and exploit divisiveness; it is the people as well. Malcontents, jealous of anyone with any sort of success, come up with any way they can to attack those who are more successful then they are. Someone is rich only because they stole something from them.
@thebackbencher666 Certain groups are more successful only because they took advantage of them. Work has nothing to do with it. Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Planning ahead has nothing to do with it. Even luck has nothing to do with it.And what do these kinds of people view as the solution to this imaginary injustice? Why special rights, privileges and opportunities for themselves, of course. Level the playing field. Get something for nothing.
@thebackbencher666 Take from the rich, the white, the male dominated, homophobic society that has already given them everything. Take what they have, what they built, what they earned-whether it be money, property, liberty or opportunity-and find some way, some justification, some cause or some guise to redistribute it to the people who have done nothing to earn it. To people who refuse to compete on merit.
@thebackbencher666 To people who insist on taking more out of society than what they put in to it. To people who don’t give a damn that their inclusion comes only at the expense of someone else’s exclusion. The strategy is simple, really-promote divisiveness and then exploit it for your own benefit.Liberals should thank God every day for differences between people because without them, liberalism would be dead in the water. Without them, the country might have some stability.
@thebackbencher666 Without them, it might have a chance to survive. Without them, the problems between those who want and those who have might actually be manageable in some meaningful or productive way. But differences have given liberals the perfect opportunity to stop any rational discussion dead in its tracks. Differences have led to polarization. Differences have led to countries within a country. Differences have led to the dreaded xist-ism-monger-phobia.
@thebackbencher666 Differences have allowed liberals to add any of these four sounds to the end of any word they choose, virtually guaranteeing that they can get away with anything they want.Worse yet, liberals actually have the nerve to turn around and endlessly accuse conservatives of divisiveness. To them, conservatives- who believe everyone should be held to the same standards-are somehow divisive.
@thebackbencher666 To them, conservatives-who believe everyone should have the same rights regardless of the guises used to justify different ones for different people-are somehow divisive. To them, conservatives-who sacrifice their time, money, careers and often their lives to defend the true meaning of freedom and liberty-are somehow divisive.But the reality is that divisiveness does not come from those who are trying to make some contribution to our society.
@thebackbencher666 The reality is that divisiveness does not come from those who expect others to at least try to do the same. The reality is that divisiveness comes from those who are always trying to get something out of a society far beyond what they are willing to put back in. The reality is that divisiveness comes from those who are always trying to get something for nothing…
@neukertification so i assume you've read Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President? perhaps war and decision douglas feith undersecretary of defense? (considered by many the most accurate memoir of the wars.im in the middle of it...fascinating stuff) or Known and Unknown by donald rumsfield himself..you know just to see what the man himself says...no? the audio books of some of these titles? how open minded of you.
@thebackbencher666 You are in a frenzy to make your point. That is the character of someone who is insecure about his knowledge or in a state of denial about the true character of his country. You need to catch up and not be so closed minded. You own a gun I assume? So you must believe in criminals, or bad persons. You think crime only excists in the lower parts of society? I know it is hard for you believe your country is not the country you thought it was. The people r good, goverment sucks.
@neukertification again nice diatribe which im sure made sense in your head but in reality means absolutely less then nothing.you do realize you stopped making sense? i have no idea what your talking about.being so open minded i assume youve read the books by the people you criticize so much..having knowledge and the willingness to post it does not make one in a frenzy or show any sign of character.nice try though but again an argument on any point on any level it is not.
@neukertification im in a frenzy? really? how am i in a frenzy? did you run out of steam and just decide to attack me instead of the issues? im insecure because of my frenzy am i doctor? gee thanks...facts are.a=a.they dont have to do with security or a state of denial about anything.come off your pseudo psycho babble high horse and come back to reality please.
@neukertification again you call me closed minded while not even mentioning one of the authors i mentioned.brilliant.i think your the closed minded one here. please speak English...no one has any idea what the hell this "ou own a gun I assume? So you must believe in criminals, or bad persons. You think crime only excists in the lower parts of society? I know it is hard for you believe your country is not the country you thought it was. " is supposed to mean.no one.please make a point.please.
@neukertification im going to try..."you own a gun I assume?" and? "So you must believe in criminals, or bad persons". why? because legally own a firearm? but anyway yes i believe criminals exist.are you saying they dont? "You think crime only excists in the lower parts of society?" uhhhh...what? what the hell does that have to do with anything?" I know it is hard for you believe your country is not the country you thought it was" what are you talking about? are you drunk?
@neukertification great...nice doge....so are you ever gonna actually read any of the authors i mentioned or rumsfelds book or are you to busy calling everyone close minded?
@neukertification sooooo your saying government can be corrupt? that criminals can exist in the government? really? so why would you hand over your healthcare to them...wow...
@thebackbencher666 Our goverment is run by corporations. Corporations have lobbyist that donate money to people in congress for political gain. Healthcare should be regulated and run amok as to do what they please and decide who can live or die because they can't afford to pay. We need to get rid of those who favor the way how Healthcare is run (and we know who they are) and let the other "party" regulate the bastards.
@neukertification good lord...your grammar is awful...we know you hate the insurance companies...we get it.the evil coperations...we know...by the way that computer your typing on? the internet you use? the clothes you wear? the food you eat..ya...coperations made that happen but whos counting...i have an idea lets get rid of the evil grocers whp would let you starve if you couldn't afford food...lets "grocers should be regulated and run amok etc etc"
@thebackbencher666 I am not a consumer in the way most american are. I do not buy Chinese crap. Because of our need to own"stuff" or junk we created manufacturing jobs for the Chinese and coporations are willing to create cheap jobs overseas to that they can make more money. The clothes I wear are USA made, I wear American Apparel made in the USA. Food I buy that is grown in the USA by small family farms.
@neukertification to reiterate ....capitalism is destroying america correct? please say that over and over and over again as you demand free british healthcare system,poo poo the second amendment and call everyone else close minded as you continue to bash rumsfeld and refuse to read hos book or hayek,friedman,adam smith,and von mises...
@neukertification Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.“He has gone to a renowned expert in the procedure that he needs to have done,” said Ms.
@thebackbencher666 Dunderdale, who will become acting premier while Mr. Williams is away for three to 12 weeks.“In consultation with his own doctors, he’s decided to go that route.”Mr. Williams’ decision to leave Canada for the surgery has raised eyebrows over his apparent shunning of Canada’s health-care system.“It was never an option offered to him to have this procedure done in this province,”
@thebackbencher666 said Ms. Dunderdale, refusing to answer whether the procedure could be done elsewhere in Canada.Mr. Williams, 59, has said nothing of his health in the media.“The premier has made a commitment that once he’s through this procedure and he’s well enough, he’s going to talk about the whole process and share as much detail with you as he’s comfortable to do at that time,” she said.
@neukertification your numbers are wrong.In 2008 and 2009, the federal government spent tax dollars at a frenzied pace to try to rescue the financial markets from its own mismanagement. Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP which obama voted for) outlays could reach $1 trillion or 7 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. TARP was originally enacted so the government could buy risky or nonperforming loans from financial institutions. But the mission changed within weeks—
@thebackbencher666 the government began using the funds to buy equity positions in financial institutions, presumably to inject cash directly into these entities. An oversight panel concluded that $350 billion of the TARP funds cannot be adequately accounted for.The Federal Reserve also provided assistance of $30 billion for Bear Stearns, $150 billion for AIG, $200 billion for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, $20 billion for Citigroup, $245 billion for the commercial paper market,
@thebackbencher666 and $540 billion for the money markets. It is poised to lend over $7 trillion to financial institutions, or over half the size of the entire American economy in 2007.According to Bianco Research president James Bianco, the federal bailout far exceeds nine of the costliest events in American history combined:
@thebackbencher666 You know dude I do not give a flyingF&%& about guns, so shuff that so called second amendment up yours. I think we having big problems then that. Guns are your priority so be it, I have other worries. This country is soooooooo backwards, unbelievable.
@neukertification you call me backwards yet see no problem with taking an amendment from the constitution and calling it "so called".listen to me very carefully.there is a designed system put in place by wise men to protect you from the government.they made a contract called the constitution.no one is allowed to fuck with it.this no fuckedness is the essence of what protects your liberty.when you call one of the rights guaranteed in this contract "so called" you open yourself up for tyranny.
@thebackbencher666 I understand where you getting at with the constitution. It is all very twisted. The constitution is there to protect our rights. Our rights were all ready trampled on under Bush. The goverment allows the citizens to keep their guns as to make you think that your liberties are not taken away, because they are taking your liberties some other way. As long as you associate guns with freedom, u won't pay attention on how other freedoms are taken away.
@neukertification what absolute nonsense.so because in your twisted logic bush stole your rights therefore there is no second amendment and if there is it should be defended or even remotely associated with freedom and one should not even bother to defend it.no in your view what we need to do is hate bush thats the solution.your a very very sick man.
@thebackbencher666 The Patriot act..it took away our constitutional right. By the way did you ever read the background of the Bush family. Their family made millions from WWII by doing business with the NAZI's.
@neukertification ok so your officlay just a nut a job.anyone who has this much invested intrest in hating bush is just a kook.listen to me very carefully....taking what we did with the mob rico statures and applying them to terrorists is not only a good idea it should have been done before 911.
@thebackbencher666 You are intellectually challenged. You take information that is cramped down your throat and take it as truth from newsmedia that is controlled by corporations. You are wrapped up in the notion that this is the greatest country in the world because we can kick other countries ass, and not because we are an economic powerhouse. You need to live in the present and not in the past.
@neukertification well thanks for that diatribe but it means absolutely nothing.your making statements instead of arguments so i would suggest it is you that should review your sources of information and come back to the big boy table when you stop advocating a top down controlled medical healthcare system and an ignorance of the patriot act,British health care system,the cost of defense vs domestic spending,basic economics 101,supply and demand,the constitution and why its important&history.
@neukertification ummmm no i think its the greatest country because of our founding documents and it is the only society that was ever built on the purest form of liberty even greater then the romans and the greeks.i think for the first time ever we gave the notion that man can live for himself true credence.i believe this liberty hand in hand with economic liberty otherwise known as capitalism has led us to become the nation that can kick anyones ass.what are you babbling about?
@thebackbencher666 Democracy was invented by the Greeks. USA does not have a monopoly on freedom or Democracy. The freest country in the world is actually The Netherlands a small country in Europe.
@thebackbencher666 I know we are big bad ass..we have guns, tanks, airplanes etc. If we can persuade others by words, we just bomb them that is the strategy. You do not know nothing about other countries, you are a brainwashed product of this country. Size does not matter..it is what you do with it...The pilgrims who came to this country settled in The Netherlands first because this small country gave them the freedom of religion which they were no allowed to practice in England.
@neukertification i know you like to throw words around like brainwashed and close minded even though you bash Rumsfeld without even reading his book.how do you know i dont know anything about other countries? if you look at my channel youd see ive been to africa twice.so please...anytime you want to actually make a point let me know...
@thebackbencher666 Rumsfeld was great buddies with Milton Friedman. Rumsfeld was CEO of Searle Pharmaceuticals. When Searle got bought by Monsanto he made 12 million dollars. Rumsfeld is a corporate power player, when he became secretary of defense it made him a score for any company that was part of what Eisenhower called the Military Industrial Complex. Eight generals have called for the resignation of Rumsfeld during the Bush presidency because of the way he wanted to run the"war" in Iraq.
@thebackbencher666 I can tell you lot of things about Milton Friedman and Donald Rumsfeld. I believe I already said several things about Rumsfeld and I will add he is an SOB. Milton Friedman comes from the Chicago School of Economics. He believed in returning societies to a state of pure capitalism. Friedman and Rumsfeld are good friends.
@thebackbencher666 Of course..the bigger the better. I lived in this country for 25 years and other countries as well and I can make the comparisions. I bet u have never set foot outside of this country and never learned anything about them. You are truly an American product, born and brainwashed here.
@neukertification more diatribes that make no points ? thats sweet hun.what are you gonna do call me close minded.....again?..zzzzzzz...let me say this again in case you missed it the first time (perhaps you have trouble comprehending simple sentences) if you look at my channel you can see ive been to africa twice...but go ahead call me brainwashed again you repetitive drone...
@neukertification ive been around the world however i can only prove africa because those are the only uploaded videos on this channel.unlike you who are completely full of shit and offer no evidence to your claims of super pro american capitalism america only purchases or countries youve lived in.
@thebackbencher666 Remember it was the Europeans who settled this country. You had only Native Americans. Capitalism has ruined this country. We own China trillions in debt thanks to the two wars. Everything is made in China, how american is that. You would pull the rug from your own people by buying crap from China. I bet you buy stuff made in China. How american, how patriotic.
@neukertification so capitalism ruined America...there is another sign i want you to hold in 2012....i want you to help obama...i want you to hold signs that say capitalism destroyed the united states and that we need a British style health care system...please....no need to friedman,adam smith,von mises, hayek cause youve obviously settled on marx...
@neukertification here is another conversation with myself as you call it but as the rest of us normal people define it an information filled fact packed response.American liberals often look fondly to the European welfare state as a model for U.S. social policy. A typical low-income family of four has much of its rent subsidized by the French government and can receive more than $1,200 a month in various government benefits. The unemployed receive more.
@thebackbencher666 There is a universal national health care system and generous retirement benefits. Yet, despite all this, we now know much of France's Muslim community lives in areas overcome with crime, poverty and unemployment. And in no small measure the blame can be attributed to France's prized welfare system. For,while French welfare has made poverty more bearable, it has done little to promote the ability of people to move up the economic ladder,
@thebackbencher666 improve their lives and see a better future. It is a society in which the poor are given much, but own little and are offered few opportunities for self-betterment, a society locked in social and economic immobility.French unemployment has hovered around 10 percent for years, but the unemployment rate for the rioting young people is well above 20 percent and in some immigrant neighborhoods tops 60 percent. Overall economic growth is less than half that of the United States.
@thebackbencher666 Much of that economic malaise can be blamed on France's tax and regulation systems. France's tax burden is one of the highest in Europe -- welfare states don't come cheap. The top marginal income tax rate is 48 percent. When payroll taxes are included, the French can pay as much as 65 percent of their income in taxes. The top corporate tax rate is 34 percent. There is also a 19.6 percent value-added tax (VAT). Overall, taxes consume nearly 44 percent of France's GDP.
@thebackbencher666 And even this isn't enough to pay for the French welfare state. France's national debt tops 68 percent of GDP, quite aside from the unfunded liabilities of the French Social Security system -- a debt some estimate to exceed 200 percent of GDP.Moreover, French businesses are weighted down with regulations and restrictions that make its labor market one of the industrial world's most rigid. France's minimum wage is roughly double that of the United States.
@thebackbencher666 The workweek is limited to 35 hours. French workers are entitled to a minimum of five weeks of vacation and 36 weeks of paid family or maternity leave, with additional time off available on an unpaid basis. It is very difficult for French companies to lay off or fire employees. Dismissals are subject to stringent bureaucratic constraints. As a result, French companies are extremely reluctant to hire new workers.
@thebackbencher666 On average, the United States creates more new private-sector jobs in a month than France does in a year.At the same time, the generosity of French welfare offers little incentive for the unemployed to look for work. The result is a growing population of idle, disillusioned poor with little connection to society at large.
i know know.im a closed minded sheep whos repetitive unlike yourself who is in a frenzy which proves im insecure.thanks in advance for your empty diatribe.
@neukertification excuse as i as you say ..."converse with myself"....but here are some facts....you mean number 37th in regards to the world health organization's (WHO) numbers? Feeling ill? If so, you might consider catching the next plane out of here, because the World Health Organization (WHO) says your health is best served by countries like Andorra, Cyprus or even Colombia.
@thebackbencher666 Each outperforms the U.S. health care system on the WHO's recently issued World Health Report 2000.The WHO rankings of 191 health systems worldwide placed the United States 37th, trailing countries like Malta and Oman and barely edging out dilapidated Cuba. Predictably, "Obamacare" champions are using the report in their battle cry for reviving the movement toward government-controlled medicine. But the WHO study is much like the annual magazine rankings of colleges:
@thebackbencher666 It grabs plenty of headlines but rests on questionable analysis. A closer look at the WHO health care study reveals startling assumptions, critical lapses in statistical judgment, and a clearly predetermined political agenda.Breaking "new methodological ground," the WHO report rates national health care performance according to five trendy flavors of the month: life expectancies, inequalities in health, the responsiveness of the system in providing diagnosis and treatment,
@thebackbencher666 inequalities in responsiveness, and how fairly systems are financed. First, consider the study's data. Health statistics for each country were collected from individual agencies and ministries, assuring wide disparities in definition, reporting technique and collection methodology. Indeed, the report concedes that "in all cases, there are multiple and often conflicting sources of information," if sources at all.
@thebackbencher666 For the many nations that simply do not maintain health statistics, the WHO "developed [data] through a variety of techniques." Without consistent and accurate data from within a single country, how can meaningful comparison be made among 191 different countries?Second, the report places undue weight on statistical devices like disability-adjusted life expectancies (DALEs), which measure how long a person can expect to live in good health. The problem is, all the resources a
@thebackbencher666 country spends helping disabled people live longer and more comfortably do nothing to help its DALE score, so countries aiming for a good WHO ranking have no reason to spend more helping the disabled. DALEs assume that disabled people's lives have less value than those of people without disabilities, and they make similar discounts on the lives of the elderly. Should the United States stop spending money on its disabled? On its seniors?
@thebackbencher666 The WHO's criteria would give granny the boot.Finally, on the basis of those flawed statistical measures, the WHO unleashes an emotional assault on free markets, saying that governments must hold the "ultimate responsibility" in "defining the vision and direction of health policy, exerting influence through regulation and advocacy, and collecting and using information." WHO dismisses markets as "the worst possible way to determine who gets which health services,
@thebackbencher666 arguing that "fairness" requires the highest possible degree of separation between who pays for health care and who uses it. Overall, the WHO rankings' mathematical formulations serve only to distract attention from the authors' underlying distaste for individual choice in health care. The report largely ignores the extraordinary benefits the American marketplace brings to health care worldwide, such as new drugs, advanced diagnostic instruments such as MRIs and CAT scans,
@thebackbencher666 and lifesaving therapies for cancer and heart-disease patients. Under a WHO-style health care system, lifesaving research and innovation would be stifled and individual choice would be discarded in favor of collective control. Bureaucrats would decide who receives care -- and who does not -- on the basis of statistical tallies that devalue the lives of the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill.
@thebackbencher666 By contrast, a free-market health care system upholds the right of every person to make his own decisions. Patients are given choices, not issued numbers, and doctors are freed from impersonal "expert panels" dictating what care they can and cannot provide. The WHO's idea of government-provided universal health care is a fantasy that masks a system of dangerous, formula-based rationing. If you value your health, don't trust the WHO.
@neukertification i dont see the news media defending the patriot act.i dont see the news media defending the free market.i dont see the news media defending defense.i dont see the media defending the constitution.i dont see the media attacking domestic spending (for the most part) perhaps it you that swallow everything you are told.maybe some reading would be good for you instead of watching mtv.
@neukertification .why dont you try some research.here are a bunch of names you can look up(i know you love marx but hear me out)ludwig von mises,milton friedman,adam smith,friedrich hayek,Thomas Sowell,peter schiff, and Alexis de Tocqueville.well you have a lot of reading to do about people youve never herd of so im sure i wont hear from you for awhile....
Chris Matthews, you know perfectly well that this guy did not have the only gun at this event. Why are you singling him out? The President has been literally surrounded by guns 24/7 since taking office and he hasn't been shot yet.
He is not advocating violence but comes to the rally with a loaded gun. Only an American could think this was logical or rational. For the record it's stupid. In the UK we have strict laws against guns and yet our government is more fearful of us than the US government is of it's citizens. Surprisingly, we also have less gun related crime. This second amendment has got to go. It was clearly a mistake.
@GAAwudu ... Hiya GAA, so please tell me why the 2nd Amendmant was put there in the 1st place ?? And for that matter, what was the real spark that ignited our liberation from the UK's monarchy ?
You need to read it again, & understand that "the people" are to be armed against tyrrants, in order to secure a free state, ... then & now.
@Wrongway1965 Your armed population only ever fight each other. Bush 43 was a tyrant yet "the people" didn't use their arms to defend their freedom when he let 9/11 happen, or when he bankrupted your nation with un-paid-for tax cuts, un-paid-for wars and unfunded bailouts, or when he implemented the 'PATRIOT ACT' which removed hard won freedoms from the American people. It is childish to think weapons will defend freedom. The battle has moved on. It is information the people need. The truth!
In respect to your opinion, I feel like the 2nd amendment was not thrown in to the Bill of Rights on a whim. It is there right after free speech. High priority for a reason! It does not "have to go" and it was not a mistake.
Loss of moral direction in our country is a mistake that is responsible for gun-related violence. But the foresight of the founding fathers of this country in anticipating greed and corruption in leaders and the high value placed of personal freedoms is wise
@1cont Weapons are a distraction! The US government is approx 40% of your economy and no matter how well armed "the people" are, your government is vastly better armed. The American people need information and education. Both parties represent the banking/millitary industrial complex. Who represents you? The American people may overthrow the government (through politics not arms by the way) but the system won't change until the citizens are better informed. That's my point.
That is precisely why I am supporting Ron Paul for 2012. Ron Paul represents ME. I place the high value on my personal liberties. Arms is only one facet of the complex desire to maintain my family's liberty. I agree that the Americans need education and information. The first step is to turn of the TV which is piping in garbage to American homes. The 2nd step is to pick up books and read the thinkers of past generations. Start with Fredric Bastiat, The Law
@GAAwudu The purpose of the 2nd amendment was to provide a guaranty that the people could protect themselves against tyranny and, if necessary, to rise up against any government that would try to overstep its constitutionally established limits over the people of the United States. The people had just fought a war for this very reason. If you look at the history of tyrannical regimes, you will see time and again that one of the first steps they take in rising to power is to disarm the public.
@jmrodz80 George W. Bush led a tyrannical regime. 9/11 happened on his watch and he used it to launch 2 unfunded wars and pass the unconstitutional PATRIOT ACT. Did the American people rise up and use their arms to protect themselves against tyranny? No, they believed the Bush propaganda and did nothing. When he bankrupted the nation and bailed out the crooks putting the bill on the innocent American people did the people rise up? No again. Weapons mean nothing. INFORMATION is key!
@GAAwudu "George W. Bush led a tyrannical regime..." I think our definitions of tyrannical are vastly different. I'm sure your information will help you sleep better at night, but it will do nothing against the ones who seek to do you and your family harm. That's all I have to say on the matter.
@jmrodz80 "In common usage, the word tyrant carries connotations of a harsh and cruel ruler who places his or her own interests or the interests of a small oligarchy over the best interests of the general population". Start wars and torture without authority! Banks, Oil and Defense prosper while poverty increases. Survelance of the citizens without warrant. Bush did you and your family harm and yet you still think there are people "out there" coming to get you. You bought his PROPAGANDA!
They should fire Mathews and hire this guy. A great American and a totally unamerican. That's our media today though. What ever happened to reporting the news and letting the people make their own decisions without putting words in our mouths like Mathews is doing with this guest.
@bubbiesdad: I think that "tingling" that ran up his leg during election time was him pissing himself at the opportunity to use those knee pads again.
What the fuck is with you idiots and thinking that "left" and "right" or "conservative" or "liberal" are anything other than mind control and a distraction, they are ALL bullshit terms and apply nothing to real people. Ideology is the only way to freedom and none of those terms provide any of that.
God damn I HATE blowhards.... Chris Matthews is a loud mouthed IDIOT. I'm much more worried that zealots like Matthews are allowed to spew lies and half truths to the American people via the television media, than I am about Mr. Kostric exercising his RIGHTS under the Constitution of these United States. That Mr. Matthews would want to supress those rights, for ANY reason, is what's truly scary to me. If you don't like the rights we are afforded here in the U.S. then move to another country sir.
OH MY GOSH!!! A HANDGUN!!!!! WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO!!!!!! THANK YOU CHRIS FOR BEING A TRUE AMERICAN LOOKING OUT FOR WHATS BEST FOR US!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
An act of force.All laws are ultimately backed by force.
If you resist to the fullest you can expect to be fined, jailed and then shot if you still resist. How does that invalidate anything that William has done?
Matthews thought he had a dumbass and this guy did an incredible job of staying calm and intellectually kicking Matthew's ass. Chris just screams at the guy question after random question, to try and make him look dumb. It look so damn pathetic, he just goes on forever trying to find something this guy doesn't know about and then gives up because the guy is smarter than him This was perfect. I wouldn't condone bringing a gun to any Pres rally though, but I understand the point he made.

... what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

@neukertification Let’s face it, when you get right down to it, all of liberalism is fueled by a singular strategy-a strategy which has been continually perfected and relentlessly executed over the past forty years. That strategy is to promote and exploit divisiveness.Everything liberal politicians do is based on this simple principle. Tell the people that are given to hating the most, that they are the ones who are hated. Tell the people who expect the most, that they deserve more.

@thebackbencher666 Of course, once this divisiveness turns into frenzy, these same people suddenly act as if they actually want to solve a problem that didn’t even exist before they did everything they possibly could to create it.To liberals, every issue, every situation is an opportunity to divide. History, religion, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the death of a soldier, a political debate, the hurricane which devastated New Orleans. Every tragedy exploited to divide.

@neukertification your numbers are wrong.In 2008 and 2009, the federal government spent tax dollars at a frenzied pace to try to rescue the financial markets from its own mismanagement. Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP which obama voted for) outlays could reach $1 trillion or 7 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. TARP was originally enacted so the government could buy risky or nonperforming loans from financial institutions. But the mission changed within weeks—

@thebackbencher666 the government began using the funds to buy equity positions in financial institutions, presumably to inject cash directly into these entities.

@neukertification here is another conversation with myself as you call it but as the rest of us normal people define it an information filled fact packed response.American liberals often look fondly to the European welfare state as a model for U.S. social policy. A typical low-income family of four has much of its rent subsidized by the French government and can receive more than $1,200 a month in various government benefits. The unemployed receive more.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 There is a universal national health care system and generous retirement benefits. Yet, despite all this, we now know much of France's Muslim community lives in areas overcome with crime, poverty and unemployment. And in no small measure the blame can be attributed to France's prized welfare system. For,while French welfare has made poverty more bearable, it has done little to promote the ability of people to move up the economic ladder,
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 improve their lives and see a better future. It is a society in which the poor are given much, but own little and are offered few opportunities for self-betterment, a society locked in social and economic immobility.French unemployment has hovered around 10 percent for years, but the unemployment rate for the rioting young people is well above 20 percent and in some immigrant neighborhoods tops 60 percent. Overall economic growth is less than half that of the United States.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 Much of that economic malaise can be blamed on France's tax and regulation systems. France's tax burden is one of the highest in Europe -- welfare states don't come cheap. The top marginal income tax rate is 48 percent. When payroll taxes are included, the French can pay as much as 65 percent of their income in taxes. The top corporate tax rate is 34 percent. There is also a 19.6 percent value-added tax (VAT). Overall, taxes consume nearly 44 percent of France's GDP.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 And even this isn't enough to pay for the French welfare state. France's national debt tops 68 percent of GDP, quite aside from the unfunded liabilities of the French Social Security system -- a debt some estimate to exceed 200 percent of GDP.Moreover, French businesses are weighted down with regulations and restrictions that make its labor market one of the industrial world's most rigid. France's minimum wage is roughly double that of the United States.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 The workweek is limited to 35 hours. French workers are entitled to a minimum of five weeks of vacation and 36 weeks of paid family or maternity leave, with additional time off available on an unpaid basis. It is very difficult for French companies to lay off or fire employees. Dismissals are subject to stringent bureaucratic constraints. As a result, French companies are extremely reluctant to hire new workers.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 On average, the United States creates more new private-sector jobs in a month than France does in a year.At the same time, the generosity of French welfare offers little incentive for the unemployed to look for work. The result is a growing population of idle, disillusioned poor with little connection to society at large.

But the WHO study is much like the annual magazine rankings of colleges:

@thebackbencher666 It grabs plenty of headlines but rests on questionable analysis. A closer look at the WHO health care study reveals startling assumptions, critical lapses in statistical judgment, and a clearly predetermined political agenda.Breaking "new methodological ground," the WHO report rates national health care performance according to five trendy flavors of the month: life expectancies, inequalities in health, the responsiveness of the system in providing diagnosis and treatment,
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 inequalities in responsiveness, and how fairly systems are financed. First, consider the study's data. Health statistics for each country were collected from individual agencies and ministries, assuring wide disparities in definition, reporting technique and collection methodology. Indeed, the report concedes that "in all cases, there are multiple and often conflicting sources of information," if sources at all.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 For the many nations that simply do not maintain health statistics, the WHO "developed [data] through a variety of techniques." Without consistent and accurate data from within a single country, how can meaningful comparison be made among 191 different countries?Second, the report places undue weight on statistical devices like disability-adjusted life expectancies (DALEs), which measure how long a person can expect to live in good health. The problem is, all the resources a

@thebackbencher666 country spends helping disabled people live longer and more comfortably do nothing to help its DALE score, so countries aiming for a good WHO ranking have no reason to spend more helping the disabled.

Should the United States stop spending money on its disabled? On its seniors?

@thebackbencher666 The WHO's criteria would give granny the boot.Finally, on the basis of those flawed statistical measures, the WHO unleashes an emotional assault on free markets, saying that governments must hold the "ultimate responsibility" in "defining the vision and direction of health policy, exerting influence through regulation and advocacy, and collecting and using information." WHO dismisses markets as "the worst possible way to determine who gets which health services,
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 arguing that "fairness" requires the highest possible degree of separation between who pays for health care and who uses it. Overall, the WHO rankings' mathematical formulations serve only to distract attention from the authors' underlying distaste for individual choice in health care. The report largely ignores the extraordinary benefits the American marketplace brings to health care worldwide, such as new drugs, advanced diagnostic instruments such as MRIs and CAT scans,
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 and lifesaving therapies for cancer and heart-disease patients. Under a WHO-style health care system, lifesaving research and innovation would be stifled and individual choice would be discarded in favor of collective control. Bureaucrats would decide who receives care -- and who does not -- on the basis of statistical tallies that devalue the lives of the elderly, the disabled and the chronically ill.
thebackbencher666 8 months ago
@thebackbencher666 By contrast, a free-market health care system upholds the right of every person to make his own decisions. Patients are given choices, not issued numbers, and doctors are freed from impersonal "expert panels" dictating what care they can and cannot provide. The WHO's idea of government-provided universal health care is a fantasy that masks a system of dangerous, formula-based rationing. If you value your health, don't trust the WHO.
so much for 37th.
