Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works, both groups funded by the health care industry are busing the same groups of volunteers to these town halls and telling them to be disruptive. IN other words the protests are fakes funded by the insurance companies who stand to loose the ability to keep shafting the nation. Educate yourself fool.

I think its hilarious how desperate Obama and the rest of the demoncrats are becoming!He knows his poll numbers are going down faster than a pornstar's panties,so he continues to blame those "evil republicans" for his bullshit healthcare plan going down in flames!Now they claim we're inciting riots at townhall meetings by exercising our right to free speech!Whatever!Obama out in 2012!!!

Michelle Malkin is so goddamn pig ugly I don't know how she gets on television.

I'm sorry I had a typo, and I'm sorry I utterly destroyed your ideals.

Keynes was a Socialist. Keynesian economics are NOT where its at. They are what got us in this economic mess that we are most definately still in. We've never had TRUE free market capitalism in the USA. Only Crony Corporatism! The founders WARNED us about that. The founders would NEVER be for Kenesian style economics! No fuckin way!

If you like socialism then pack your bags and get the fuck out.

Austrian economics.. MISES - Smart . VERY SMART! Way better than that Keynesian SHIT!

I'm all for helping people. But the govt is definately NOT in the right for FORCING ME TO HELP PEOPLE. If I earn money and you take it and give it to soemone else... thats NOT compassion. Its COMPULSION! IT IS STEALING! That goes against the very concept of liberty!

Healthcare is a GOOD. Not a right!

Holy shit, go back to school and fucking learn something, then we'll talk. You're making it painfully obvious that you don't fucking understand economics, politics or the basic syntax of the English language. There is no need to continue to embarrass yourself.

[KrunchyGoodness]

God your stupid. You somehow think that economy IS capitalism. Profit is not a bad thing; greed is. There are ways for a community to help the needy (helpless). And there are ways for an economy to give the poor jobs.

By your logic (law of equality), those murderers you feel so inclined to judge are equally as guilty and innocent as you.

By the way, judging murderers IS something the government should do.

[eros1057]

Wtf is wrong with you? First of all yes, it is my place to judge murders for the horrendous things that they do. Next, charity is not something that can be "encouraged" by the economy in a capitalist regime; don't you know what capitalism is? You're right, charity should not be made law; equality should be. There shouldn't be people living in destitution in the US or the world for that matter. A democratically elected gov't should have the responsibility of making our society more equitable.
