  • In japan People without insurance through employers participate in national health insurance program administered by local governments. Patients are free to select physicians or facilities of their choice and cannot be denied coverage. Hospitals by law, must be run as non-profit and be managed by physicians. For-profit corporations are not allowed to own or operate hospitals. Clinics must be owned and operated by physicians. Since you love japan car companys are owned by the gov. you like

  • we need a workers-state in USA. we need free health care, nationalized industries under workers-control, and the wealth of USA spread to all americans. We need economic-democracy which is Marxism and Socialism and Anarchism. Capitalism is too oligarchic and too elitist. We need a real democracy

  • This is retarded... and you have some nerve calling yourself "propaganda buster"... more like "propaganda proponent"...

  • I don't know why you think class envy and class hatred is a bad thing. It provides the motivation to topple the exploiters. You mention that big businesses create jobs, but the government can create them too, and its purpose is not avarice.

  • @CommunistPartyJapan - Government jobs contribute nothing to the production of an economy. While private sector jobs create growth in the private sector.  It was capitalism that raised the standard of living in all countries where it has been allowed to flourish. Look at mainland China; since they embraced capitalism, it has brought millions out of poverty. While millions remained in poverty prior to their economic conversion.

    Are you really a commie or is that just shtick (a joke)?

  • @USAGymnast Tea Party wants literacy tests too but their own signs say "no pubic option" and "obey the consitution". We have a shit education system, don't want to improve it, then demand literary geniuses. Illegals cannot vote anyhow - your hatred is aimed at legal immigrants which is how most of us got here.

  • The Democratic Party belongs to the Liberal International. Its sister liberal parties in Europe are considered CENTER-RIGHT. The US was the most leftwing nation in the world in 1776,. The USA is the new Bourbon France, Czarist Russia. The gendarme of the world, crushing people's dreams of freedom.

  • You consoivativs sure can get your facts a little mixed up. 1st of all; The Supreme Court does not share equally in running the country, it interpret the laws created by Congress and settles disputes. 2; The President disagreeing with the court in his SOTU speech is a lot different than Congressman Wilson Heckling him. Fox New would've been a better place to voice his opinion. 3; as I recall you consoivativs blamed 911 on Clinton after Bush had been in office for almost a year,

  • @USAGymnast

    Also, not to be a dick or anything but I honestly have never heard someone from the left call someone from the right a "Babykiller". It allways seems to be the other way around, but thats just from my point of view. It seems like you have your stereotpyes a little mixed up LOL It would be like some from the left calling someone from the right a "Commie" or a "TreeHugger" or something of that nature, hell I dont know :)

  • @USAGymnast

    Sorry I cant speak for Joe only myself. But if Joe said that then he was wrong for it. This is an easy game my friend. I respect you and you respect me. I dont stereotype you and you dont stereotype me. And I also dont demonize anyone aginst welfare so please calm down with these accusations.This youtube ok, at the end of the day NONE OF US KNOW ONE ANOTHER. All we have to go off of are comments. If we actually met I bet we would be suprised at how much we have in common. PEACE!!

  • @USAGymnast

    OK cool, so then we both can agree that both sides need to chill out with all the name calling and stereotypes. I know Ive been guilty of it myself just as you have. I know this is youtube and all but can we please have civil discussions without this turning into a battle of who can generate the most slurs and stereotypes about the other side. Lets see if we can try this. From here on out I'll keep my word and refrain from namecalling and stereotyping. CAN YOU?

  • @USAGymnast usag....of course NoGuff as a private citizen...and he can do what he wishes. However, when he makes his own videos which are an attempt to be politically influential ...he could have the courage, as PropagandaBuster has, to allow civil discussions over his subject matter.

    Which government censorship are you speaking of sweetie?

  • You support a Jim Crow era law and here you are wondering why I call you a terrible borderline racist person.

  • Hey umm you'd end up disenfranchising a lot of the South with literary tests you've gotta think about the long term consequences here.

  • Well why wouldn't they? HDI measures things education, life expectancy, and standard of living.

  • "literacy test"

  • wow tony, you're calling america "socialist"? why do you hate our country so much?

  • Socialist? But don't socialist countries in Europe and such have higher rankings on the human development index PB?

  • I subscribed to this channel now I'll know right away when you put up another video so I can waste my time calling your followers reactionaries.

  • By the way, Im waiting for Propaganda Buster's fan club to come and give my comments several thumbs down. I remember a couple of weeks ago when I apologized to PB for insulting him I noticed my apology had been marked down several times. Like seriously, how dumb are you people to mark down an official apology to Propaganda Buster for me being an idiot. I honestly wonder the age of some of the people on the comments section.

  • who let the retarded leprecon out who knows shit about socialism?

    Ow yea thats right, the tea bagger retards.

  • Thanks for caring enough to post your thoughts....always enjoy your postings..keep up the good work, and blessings to you also.

  • Thank you.

  • If the Republicans take over congress and the White House in 2012 and the poor and middle class become better off than they are now after a few years of Republican rule I will suck my own dick and put it on YouTube that is how sure I am that things will only get worse under borderline fascist Republican rule.

  • Conservatism is based on eating the flesh of babies, curb stomping different looking people, and worshiping Satan aka Ronald HUSSEIN Reagan. (Peace be unto him)

    Look I can make shit up too.

  • "you're just full of crap"

    --You know, I've seen a lot of Liberals, Marxists, and Communists here on LibTube, and they're all full of shit.

    But of all those who spew the most shit consistently and over a long period of time, wittumy is in the LibTube top 10 of all time. And as far as being wrong on facts & subjects he consistently bats 1.000. I think I've only seen two other people in his league.

  • @NoGuff gotta laugh at someone like you who censors his own videos and tries to get me censored on others'. Funny, you who throws the decades old lame socialism and marxist rhetoric on others block the ability to comment of those who dare question them. You question the patriotism of others and elevate your own. You don't even see the hypocracy in those actions do you NoG? Until you have the nads to not censor...you're a non credible joke. I'll back myself up anytime pal..I don't run.

  • Go wittumy!!!! Someone needs to stand up for the left. Im sick and tired of the same stereotypes and slurs being used here. Im a left leaning person myself, but Im not on welfare, I dont expect the govt to take care of me, Im cant stand political correctness, Im not a commie/socialist/marxist, and I dont spend all my time getting high and talking bad about rich people. It disgust me how liberals are always lumped into one group and stereotyped.

  • @nbapierce1234 that's all they have. I remember in 1960 at the ripe age of 7 my dads friends commenting about the commie menace and how JFK must be stopped. My dad was a lifelong republican who viewed those types a cancer in his party. Forty seven years later socialism as an ideal has lost populartity in this country...not gained

    I'm just left of center personally but you'd never know the way I'm spoken to here.

    The republican cancer returned with the limbaughs, Hannity's and Coulters..sadly.

  • I agree with you 100%. I respect you very much for standing up for yourself and expressing your opinion despite being called the same old names and stereotypes from the right. Why cant we have a civil discussion without people being called un american, commies, socialist, god haters, baby killers, welfare bums and whatever crap the right uses to stereotype anyone who identifies with the left. I cant stand this us vs them mentality. Either you agree with me or you're an anti american socialist.

  • @nbapierce1234 It's amazing people feel that they are going to sway people's thinking or gain the support of people they've just called socialists, marxists, anti-American, cowards, pro-terrorists and the list you just offered. I don't question my fellow Americans hearts or patriotism....and I sure aren't going to support those who think so little of their fellow Americans.

    Some can't defend their views so they resort to words that inflame & hang with only those who think alike...sad.

  • I agree with both of you and nbapierce. It's ridiculous what they've reduced the American society down to. The whole "you're either with us or against us" mentality didn't work with the Bush Admin. Why would it work without it?

    Can't help but think Fox is throwing all this out to hide something. Keep them arguing amongst each other. Then they won't find out.

    Plus this guy PB is either drunk or borderline retarded. I've no respect for sheep.

  • Have you seen our property taxes holy shit they are low thanks a lot prop 13 for wrecking our shit. Republicans are the minority that's true BUT since you need a 2/3rds majority to pass a budget or taxes the Republicans can basically bring the process to a screeching halt whenever they feel like it which is why we have a perpetual budget crisis. (Preview of things to come in Washington D.C.?)

  • @USAGymnast

    sweetie....that's where your closed mindedness comes in. Welfare is more than a fiscal issue so your point is completely invalid.

    As far as materialism goes....again an issue that's more complex than you make it out to be. You can have material things sweetie without being a materialistic person. Or you can live your life for and be defined by "things"....that would be materialistic.

    You live a life of black and white and that's why you haven't a clue.

    Life is many shades.

  • @USAGymnast such as?

  • cross reference

    statemaster. com/ graph /eco_wel_ cas_tot_rec-econom y-welfare- caseloads- total-recipients

    and

    electoral-vote com/

  • @USAGymnast oh sweetie....I think I'm a bit more qualified to say what I believe than you are.

  • Conservative texans more than double the liberal texans in welfare, union workers and leaders, and government workers.. explain to me how they are a majority? How about Arizona, which is a highly republican state. It is 12th in recipients of welfare. explain to me if Liberals constitute as the majority to receive welfare, why do more Conservative states list as the top 25 states than liberal states?

  • @USAGymnast

    People I talk to that are from there say that the weather is variable because of the Mtns.

    In Wisconsin it was cold for months at a time.

  • @USAGymnast .....sweetie...you know I'm not a girl....you try so hard to be clever! I never lectured you on fiscal responsibility...I simply said it's better to pay now instead of later. I'm all for fiscal responsibility...I've just never seen it..from democrats or you guys who say over and over and over that you are.

    We've talked for some time now sweetie..you should know from my comments & homepage I have some liberal beliefs and conservative ones. Like most of this country I'm a blend.

  • @USAGymnast usag...nice try sweetie but your comment has no legs. It's just like most of your comments....all opinion...and nothing to back it up.

    We all eventually pay...so me might as well pay up front...it's fiscally more responsible.....that means smarter sweetie!

  • @USAGymnast yeah.. I lived in Wisconsin and I hated the winter there.

  • but they are not ALL liberal, and not ALL military members are Conservative.

    In Texas Welfare recipients that are conservative is nearly double than liberals..

  • @USAGymnast Seems like the big cities all have slummy areas.

    I heard Wyoming and Montana are great actually.

  • @USAGymnast those cowboys and Amish live the commune lifestyle. Is that what you endorse? They take care of each other and share....and remember you said yourself you're not into compassion.

  • @wittumy Oh! That's cold.. Not true. A commune life is a lot different than COMMUNISM. People take care of eachother they are not forced to do thing by the GOVERNMENT and don't have a victim mentality like we have here now thanks for left-wing Bullshit

  • @WakeUpDummies I never said that commune life was communism now did I?

    USAG has openly said she has no compassion. My comment to her was questioning her about their lifestyle of taking are of each other and sharing...not living solitarily.

  • @wittumy I forgot what point I was trying to make. ha!!!!

  • thats a fucking lie. again, you are overgeneralizing and incorrect at it too.

  • So when you make the statement "liberals want to have all the benefits and provide none of the work nor sacrifices" your over generalization is incorrect.

  • Thank you! Its nice to know im not the only one.

  • @USAGymnast: you make wonderful sense...no sense in wasting your brain power on ignorant liberals...they are pathetic

  • "Both of those places have crappy infrastructure, "

    more reasons to raise taxes corporation lol

    I live in LA so I can tell you a lot of that is accurate. HOWEVER California isn't liberal at all. Reminder: We voted yes on prop 8 and this state has an irrational hatred of taxes that is causing the state to blow up and it doesn't help that all our Republicans in the state's legislative body are obstructionist assholes and we have a REPUBLICAN ACTOR as governor.

  • @Joe402: nice try...Calif. is suffering now due to liberal spending programs...illegal aliens are killing your state...the figures to pay for those illegals are staggering....too much liberal nonsense...a microcosm of what will happen to the USA later if we don't rid ourselves of liberalism

  • @Joe402: it's hilarious that you blame Cali's problems on a "hatred of taxes"....LOL....cut all that wasteful spending to the bone....cause those illegals to "self-deport" with every method possible....no more freebies....lower taxes on corporations (U.S. has among highest corp. taxes in world), and more will relocate to Cali, no leave as they are now

  • "California isn't liberal"

    --Right, we just bend over backwards for illegals, we have marijuana vending machines, and you can't add a fireplace to your house because of "global warming" laws. Yes, quite Conservative!

    "Republicans in the state's legislative body are obstructionist assholes"

    --You mean the Legislature that's told the state is broke & keeps on passing new spending measures? Yes, quite the obstructionist-Republican-fill­ed body.

    "a REPUBLICAN ACTOR as governor"

    --A RINO.

  • "yeah a RINO"

    --If you think Arnold isn't a RINO then you haven't been paying attention.

    "doesn't mean you can just abandon him"

    --Like you guys did with Joe Lieberman & John Edwards? Wait, you guys haven't given up on Edwards, my mistake.

    "Palin is a RINO because she supports McCain"

    --No, she's paying the price for getting on a ticket with a RINO. To save face she has to support him. But it doesn't matter because it won't help him win another term. And no, that doesn't bother me.

  • "Both of those cities are turning into Mexico. "

    Just as planned...soon the invasion of the USA will be complete.

    (This is not true you will think it is true though prove me right)

  • I can see why you hate L.A. (I think it's not a perfect place to live in maybe if we did something about the economic inequality rampant everywhere plus the multiculturalism would make you have a meltdown) but why San Francisco is it because there are gay people there?

  • Come to beautiful Colorado Springs where 1/3 of the streetlights are off at night, the cops and firefighters are understaffed, and many essential public services like trash pickup will be cut! At least they don't pay an extra $100 or so annually in property taxes!

  • What about military members that are liberal? i would say that's more than most work and sacrifice than most americans

  • @USAGymnast We can only hope

  • @USAGymnast Thats interesting. I had enough flat land I think. I lived in Wisconsin as a kid :)

  • @USAGymnast Hmmmm..... we are talking about visiting to get a look. We live in Charlotte, NC and are just getting bored..

  • @USAGymnast Colorado.... I have been to SFO and no thanks. WAY expensive for one thing.. What about CO? Denver?

  • @USAGymnast I was thinking about moving out there... problems huh? YOu have to mow the park yourself I hear

  • @USAGymnast Amen to that!

  • Some guys want to privatize social security which I don't mind since it will be the baby boomers who will suffer first.

  • Aha that's what I'm talking about. I never advocated giving everyone equal amounts of money. The only thing I've said is that the rich should be taxed more (as it is the tax rate for the rich is actually lower than when it was under Reagan, and it was already low then, and percentage wise the middle class takes a bigger hit when paying taxes) but that's only so this country won't become a third world hell hole. Colorado Springs has low tax rates and stuff is getting bad there.

  • usag...see what I've been trying to tell you...you don't know what you're talking about. You rely on poor sources to tell you what others like me believe. Like your marxism baloney...the idea we don't like money, big scrren tv's and don't hunt is well just BS. We love capitalism....but don't have one bit of problem with sharing our good fortunes. Love those guns but don't want crooks to get ahold of your automatic weapons so we don't want them legal. Love my pool too. You believe anything.

  • Haha you think it's only 20%. If I were the guy in charge of the budget I'd try to hide as much of it as possible.

  • USAGymnast I've completely given up trying to show you the errors of your ways. All this time I assumed I could get to you with logic and facts but since you are a conservative you operate on emotion and fantasy worldviews. For example I've said many times that I'm not a Marxist but you do not listen. I'm just gonna call you a terrible person from now hope you don't mind.

  • usag....now sweetie...I'm not a marzist and you know that. I feel that campaigns should be a month long and all candidates the same money and exposure. The people's voice is called a VOTE not donation.

    The only way we get big money influence away from Washington is to sharply reduce one person's ability to buy an election. The right constantly complains about George Soros....let's shut them all up. Are you afraid to compete mind to mind instead of infomercials?

  • usag....when did we fail to say we're increasing the debt? Hell yes we are.

    What impact did you guys have on the debt....care to throw out an amount including everything?

    Yes we're all going to have healthcare! When it's here what will you say when your horror stories turn out to be false? If it sucks I'll be happy to say so...I'd prefered a single pay system so I'm waiting to see also.

  • Propo...I'm not siding with anyone propo. My comment was aimed at your suggestion that since McCarthy didn't kill anyone... what he did was somehow ok. It was aimed at your comment that McCarthy was proven right...which is only agreed on by a certain small ideological group.

    If I were to take sides I'd agree with you that the Mao comparison was one that didn't make sense. Mao was a murderer in addition to being a dispicable person. Mao led (?) his country..McCarthy was just a congressman.

  • Is that medal from the special olypics

  • Do you mean special olympics moron?

  • Yes I did Moron..I misspelled and it wasn't worth fixing ...Did you win a medal too...?? .

  • XDDDD!!!

  • As long people keep acting like idiots, none society will improve or win.

  • Did you take your meds yet? I think your halfway house is calling you. They said your anal shot is ready! =D

  • Your comment was buried so I decided to see why. Yeah this is a terrible comment.

  • Bush had experience running a business (Texas Rangers baseball team) and yet he fucked the economy.

  • Joe402....I'd have to disagree with you there. Bush had little experience RUNNING the Texas Rangers baseball team...he was hired for his name and political access to build a new stadium. He did little other than attend games, wave and collect 16 million off of a 400k investment. He'd previously run a couple of oil co's into the ground. He even began ignoring the law then..didn't report the sale of his company stocks days before they crashed. It was no surprise he screwed up the nations' economy.

  • I like how the Republican method of Opposing Every Position The President Takes Up is making you take up leftist positions. (Demand transparency, criticize his meeting with lobbyists, suggest government spending is good citing the bailouts making the government more money)

  • I hope DADT stays in place because it prevents a group of people from being exploited by the military industrial complex.

  • 10. Unions don't have that much money to spend. Corporations on the other hand...yeah I see why Republicans love this ruling it basically destroys Democracy.

    11. Obama barely campaigned for them. Every site I read complained about his absence form these campaigns. I hope Harry Reid loses though he is a weak majority leader.

    12. I thought taxes where evil MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

    13. Repeated talking point.

    14. Bipartisanship with Republicans is impossible because they are obstructionists.

  • None of your counter points have any weight. Number 4 and number 8, for example, have really nothing to do with his talking points. 4 talks about the stimulus and 8 talks about the "climate change" and you somehow related that to military spending.... ??????

  • I wouldn't look for any intelligent discourse from Joe402.  His comments have proved that he is a dumbass.

  • military spending made those jets possible

  • I don't see the problem with putting fees on banks. Fuck the banks.

  • USAGym-

    How very true, there are more millionaire Democrats in congress than Republicans.

    Wasn't it Charlie Rangel (D) who forgot to list a house he had and also $250,000 on his tax returns.

    How many of Obamas helpers "forgot" to pay taxes? Many, a very corrupt regime

    Who was the jerkoff that was putting money in his refrig, another Democrat.

  • dear propaganda buster,

    i would l like to learn something about McCarthysm, the Witch Hunt and Salem Witch Trials. Didn't they publicize the corruption of rightists? Accusing innocent people being "Leftists" and imprisoning then or even execute them. THAT"S VERY FAIR! Isn't it?

  • Hello hellyeah168:

    McCarthyism and the Salem Witch Trails are not related. The Salem Witch Trials went after innocent people. Senator McCarthy went after Communist who infiltrated USA society. Recently it has been proven Senator McCarthy was correct, the commies did infiltrate the USA. Also, under "McCarthyism," no one were imprisoned or executed.

  • Come on Propo....McCarthy went after people with no proof and ruined the careers of many. He called anyone who he cared to a commie just for personal gain. Kinda reminds me of many of the right wing extremists now...is that who's now saying McCarthy was correct?

  • Hollywood Ten?

    Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?

  • McCarthyism as well went against speech against him. just saying that McCarthy was wrong could be one, not much different to Chairman Mao. Aswell any speech that's unamerican was illegal. but i thought america was the first too bring up "The Freedom of Speech". Just saying I hate America could be one if you were in America back then.

  • Allow me to help you with USA history; If you spoke against Mao, you were executed. If you spoke against McCarthy or USA, perhaps you got blacklisted, not executed. See the difference there? Many Americans spoke against McCarthy with no repercussions. One such person was an actor named Ronald Regan who later became president of the USA, a nation that cherishes free speech. How many students were murdered in Tiananmen Square for their free speech?

  • what was Little Rock about?

    the Japanese American Internment in WW2? YES americans intermented Germans and Italians as well, but has harsh as so called "JAPS"? Why BECAUSE YOU ARE OR WERE RACIST TO YELLOW SKINS!! Germans and Italians are white coloured, JAPS are yellow coloured like me THE CHINESE. You americans are the ones who brought the word "CHINK" up. we showed no defeat by calling you the FOREIGN GHOSTS. you can't really blame us for that.

  • Bottom line: more people where murdered by your commie overlords in Tiananmen Square then the interment camps, and German / Italian POW's of WW2.

    Face it, no nation can catch the butchery of your nation's blood thirsty history under that barbarian Mao.

  • Propo...McCarthy ruined many people. That he didn't kill them doesn't make his actions right. The far right in this country today is doing a great job of using many of McCarthy's techniques....the embellishment of threats (mushroom cloud sound familiar?), accusations that have no substance (Commie, socialism talk) and just flat out lies like Obama is a muslim and was not born in the US.

    Lies, the selling of fear and the personal destruction of opponants create their own ugly price.

  • Wittumy, not surprised you would side with an American hating commie.

  • "Wittumy, not surprised you would side with an American hating commie."

    --Kudos, Tony. When is he going to learn he's wrong on every single thing he every thinks or writes?

  • lets talk about something that occurring now! why did you invade iraq and afgahnistan?

  • iwish demos and repubs would stop fighting for power and help the american people.ithink its ridiculous that theyre not listening to one another just because of money and power."we the people"should be thought of1st,and i feel like neither party gives a crap about what we need.they just care about their paychecks.i find it disturbing that i cant trust my own government to do that right thing.repubs and demos dont have a clue by themselves,so i think they should work together for the greater good

  • lemonsnickers....you're absolutely correct. We've a system where both parties are in election mode at all times, where giving an inch is weakeness. We have people making millions selling hatred and divisiveness. Now the Supreme Court has reduced the impact of the American peoples' voice.

    Until we reduce political campaigns to a short cycle and limit their funds we can kiss working together goodbye. Term limits for congress would be a great idea also.

  • wittumy-

    I agree with you about term limits and about limiting funds.

  • I have to say it was refreshing to see Obama throw the republican rhetoric back in their faces during the telvised meeting. Hensarling got his rear handed to him. The truth is there IS significant debt that you guys ran up that hasn't been paid for and the truth is your plans for healthcare plan are so awesome you never offered it once while in power.

    You can't run from your debt and your failures. Obama called you guys and you had no hand....just a bluff...hillarious.

  • obama should be called douchebag in the white house. NOT commander in chief.

  • Propo...Bush said quite a few things about the Supreme Court when they ruled against his military courts and their ruling that terrorists are entitled to civil trials, miranda rights and Geneva Convention rules.

    When will Obama quit blaming Bush? Propo...how long will it take to pay for the two wars, the two tax cuts and prescription drug bill that Bush didn't pay for? How long will it take to do the job Bush didn't do on the war on terror...if I'm not mistaken those who attacked us are free.

  • usag...maybe if you made better choices and worked harder you could live in a mansion of wood that's heated to 74 degrees and ride around in jets and limos. You some kind of slacker?

  • Obama is a walking, talking, breathing DISGRACE!!!!!

    one more time.

    DISGRACE!!!!!

  • If 10% of the American public had a twinkling of what Mr. propoganda Buster has this battle would be over.

  • 313 views ?????

    USSA = USSR

  • "The disgusting hypocrisy of the left shows yet again"

    --Wow, look at all these "thumbs down." Looks like the Lefitst scumbags were attracted to Tony's video title and showed up in hateful droves.

    Because when they do, you can't even point out the known truth to danyone. They resort to their favorite method of discussion, which is "shut up."

  • No, you don't. You just need to convince people that you are worth giving money to.

  • You don't need to have a business to be a "self-made man". you just need to be good at marketing yourself.

  • Good commentary. I guess the only thing I'd point out is it really is not "class envy", since the people in Congress/Senate level make roughly 10 times the median income of the US citizen. And in many cases, their seats are more like entitlements (witness the Kenedys) and a continuation of their family's economic aspirations spilling into politics to ensure their assets are covered. Cllinton and Obama were self-made men, but that doesn't mean they have the common man in mind.

  • of course, because if people had the right to sue the military directly. Military and non military members would be able to sue for anything.

    to add,

    A man in the USAF was getting a kidney stone removed, and during the operation, the doctor accidentally severed an artery in his leg... they didnt notice it at first. Well eventually, the blood loss led to him having both his legs cut off. Now he is most likely going to be medically discharged. If he does, the military will only give him

    (cont)

  • 22k a year for a mess up that the military doctor did. 22k a year can not be enough for his mental anguish and physical restrictions he'll face for the rest of his life.. this man was only 20 years old. I believe certain cases should be allowed.. but the line is very gray and it will be difficult to prevent retarded cases to rise.. but as it stands, not being able to sue the military directly is good for USA.

  • are you talking about the suit against the military directly?

  • and basic should weed them out.. when i went through BMT, we had a lot of people get kicked out because they couldnt cut it.

  • COME ON, MAN! The REPS are in on all of this propaganda that you so call "bust" the DEMI-CRATS on. COME ON, TONY! There is no difference from red to blue here in our country; it's the same colour, and it's it the colour of feces. We have no choice, no say, no force of "change" in the matter. Perhaps you already know this...

  • umm... as long as they dont admit that they are gay, gays in the military can sue.

  • did you know that military training instructors are already not allowed to curse at their trainees? Though it is already restricted, it is known by everyone that the basic training you go through is built to reshape you. If someone get upset when someone calls them a little fuck head or something of that nature, then they really should not be entering the military.

  • to add, you cant sue the military directly. You can go to MEO to have them file for a article 15 or a court martial, in which the military itself will devise punishment.

  • umm.. you can already file a complaint with MEO for derogatory statements.. IE, calling someone gay, Fag, Bitch, Slut, Homosexual, ect.. There wouldnt be any change. on top of that, even if there wasnt gay people in the military, people get hated on already.

  • RE: #11 in sidebar. Don't forget that Obama supported the Washington DC handgun ban. WRONG.

    He also supported McCain-Feingold. WRONG.

    He's totally against the 2nd Amendment. WRONG.

    Cap & Trade didn't pass, so he has the EPA do what it would have done had it pass, thereby getting around Congress. WRONG.

    He's thinking about doing the same thing if the healthcare bills don't pass. WRONG.

    Funny, I thought he was a Constitutional lawyer.

  • RE: Supermajority. Obama was complaining about the Republicans being "obstructionists." The Supermajority belongs to the Democrats, meaning the Republicans can obstruct all they want and it doesn't make a bit of difference because they don't have enough votes to block any Dem legislation.

    So Obama blaming Republicans for being obstructionists is merely a GAME. Its no different than a Liberal being a total racist, then publicly blaming all Conservatives for their racism.

  • "actually, there is no Supermajority"

    --Yes, I know. But Brown has yet to be formally installed. In fact, the interim Senator who preceeded him is still casting votes.

    The POINT of my original message being the Dems had a Supermajority and the Republicans couldn't do anything to obstruct them, so Obama's claim of obstructionism is fraudulent, a lie, a deception, a ploy used for an agenda.

  • "Democrats are still reaching over party lines. Some of them agree with the polices and some of them dont."

    --Lie.  If you had examples you would have provided them.

    "They are reluctant to reach over the wall and meet an agreement"

    --Again, that always and only means Republicans agree to what Democrats want. Never the other way around. But good try.

  • you clearly didnt see the two replies i had for your other comment.

    another example.. in Bill (H.R. 4314 ), proposed by the democrats, a single democrat saw it was in his state's best interests if the bill was not passed. Go look at the Senate's Legislation record, you'll find plenty of democrats who will vote against the majority of their own party..

    willingness to meet a common ground is not giving in to someone else. Its holding your own ethics and meeting in the middle with someone else's.

  • "Its holding your own ethics and meeting in the middle with someone else's"

    --You just contradicted yourself. You say one should reach across the aisle and meet in the middle, and that one should stick to one's ethics. If one's ethics dictate that the best thing for the nation on healthcare is to do nothing (thereby blocking any legislation), how can one also come to a compromise and pass some legislation?

  • bills get amended all the time. A lot of republicans pass bills because they amend certain legislation to the bill that they feel would support their own ethics.. Also, when i say holding your own ethics, i'm not saying that you should hold it with indestructible force. I'm saying you hold it up as your primary goal to not flush it down completely.

  • "bills get amended all the time"

    --Amending a bill is not the same as blocking it when blocking is the ethical thing to do. I don't think you understand the point.

    "i'm not saying that you should hold it with indestructible force"

    --So stand by your convictions, but ... not really.

    Wow, you're a great philosopher. Lot's of concrete conviction there. You seem a prime candidate for office, as a Democrap.

  • the reason why a lot of bills dont get passed is because someone disagrees with a part of the bill, not the full bill. this is where amendments come in. Completely blocking a bill that you only disagreed with a portion of the bill, is you being to arrogant.

    Also, not willing to understand someone else's convictions and not willing to meet in the middle is not going to create progress for either side. Thats why shit doesnt get done in politics.

    "you must give a little to get a little"

  • Uhh... Republicans don't have majority...

  • actually, as a member of the US forces, i am glad Obama is changing the policies of the military. the "dont ask, dont tell" legislation is a joke. Banning non-heterosexuals from the military is hurting more than it is helping. Thousands of military members are kicked out of the military for being non-heterosexual. Once they are kicked, it costs more money to get someone trained up to that person's spot. Not to add that person could have be a valuable asset to the military.

  • "non-heterosexual"

    --Do you mean "homosexual?"

  • no.. i meant Non-heterosexual. There are still people who like BOTH sexes. non-heterosexual describes anybody who is not sexually attracted to just the opposite sex.

  • "non-heterosexual describes anybody who is not sexually attracted to just the opposite sex"

    --You've been infected by Political Correctness.

    "reluctant to reach over the wall and meet an agreement"

    --So essentially, "reaching over party lines" means agreeing with what the Democrats want. But when it comes time for the Democrats to hop aboard and help the Republicans pass a Conservative bill, let's say like English as an official language, or repealing gun laws, you're saying they always do?

  • I'm sorry.. but i just came up with that term myself, i've never heard anybody else say it. I said it because thats an easier way than to say Homo/Bisexuals.

    I'm not saying that they always do. I'm saying that there are often some Democrats who dont Tote party lines. That they go with who they are representing in their state.

    My state Senate congressman is a Republican. when i sent him a letter about health reform, his letter was(and i'm paraphrasing) "i know what's best for you"

  • (cont)

    as the bills that you have presented that you believe Democrats should help propose..

    1) the bill presenting english as an official language... there were democrats who were trying to help pass that bill. it didnt pass because the majority understand that we are a country of different backgrounds.

    2) There were also some democrats wanting to repeal gun laws, and again the vast majority didnt want to lower the restrictions on guns.

  • John Cornyn.

  • FY08, 619 military members were discharged for being non-heterosexual. FY07: 627, FY06:612, FY05:726, FY04:653.. in Four years thats 3237 military members that were booted for being gay. it is estimated that it costs 400,000+ to train and to house/pay 1 member for 1 four year enlistment. thats $1,294,800,000 to replace those military members.

  • Obama is turning our military into a fucking joke.

  • as always, I'm going to argue the points that are clearly incorrect. Also, some of these arguments are for your statements in the sidebar.

    1) Not all the money spent on the banks has been repaid. This does not include interest. There are still some banks that received money from the government that has not paid most of their money back.

    2) on the topic of "dont ask, dont tell". Are you sure that the military does not want to get rid of that part of the legislation?

    (cont)

  • (cont)

    As a military member, i find the Legislation to be Segregating to Fit Americans who are of the Homo/bisexual lifestyle. The Legislation prevents physically and mentally qualified non-heterosexuals from entering the military. It also kicks out people who are already well trained. Every time they kick someone out for being non-hetero, they have to spend thousands of dollars to train someone in that person's place. Let alone that person could have been a vital asset for the military.

  • 3) the Supreme Court has different roles than The President and Congress. They do not make executive orders, and they do not make Congressional Laws. They are the Judiciary Part of the Triforce. They normally deem a law to be constitutional or not.

    4) Republicans didnt have a supermajority during the Bush presidency. There hasnt been a supermajority since 1979 during the 95th congress and it was a democratic supermajority. So you saying that they were complaining about the republicans
