"If we are the leaders of the industrial world then we should show it"

We are the industrial leaders of the world because we were founded on the principals of individual rights. People who work and produce are able to keep the fruits of their labor. It is the rest of the world who has lived in rejection of these principals.

By becoming like them we are giving up what has made us the leaders of the world. We wouldn't be "leading"... we would be following them into poverty and bondage.

@peacefulpolitics Correction...that you DIDN'T feel empathy"

@CrispianDay

I also do not know how you could possibly interpret from the video how the group could possibly be limiting healthcare coverage to Christians. I know some of the people in this video and they are not professing a religion at all. Thanks for l"etting your light shine" with your apathy and insults. You are in good company with the rest of you who have Jesus as such a center of compassion in your heart. Doesn't your book say something about judging? I think you have of these people.

@CrispianDay Well, first of all, I have a problem with your statement..."I'm a Christian..." and then going on to say that you feel empathy for the misfortunes of those featured in the video. Furthermore, what you may be misinterpreting as condesention and aggression could be passion. For those whom consider themselves "Christians", it should be an embarrassment to anyone like yourself and others who also claim this religion. Aren't you suppose to be loving and caring?

My world view is sad? I am not the one trying to use the most powerful government in the world to force other people to take care of my every need...

[CrispianDay]

It sounds like you're saying that if someone doesn't believe in Jesus they don't deserve healthcare. I'm a Christian and I think the beginning is going to make people stop the video. I don't really want someone reading the Bible to me in a condescending voice, slowly no less, like I'm to dumb to get it. It's more funny than effective. And the people, mostly too "aggressive". I didn't feel empathy for them, I felt irritation. Sorry.

Your world view is really sad. I really don't believe it is fruitful to continue engaging, as your mentality is completely different than mine. May you be blessed with very good health and great joy in this life.

[m371514]

You do not have a right to force other people to pay for things you "care about" through government coersion just because it would make you feel good. You call yourself peacefulpolitics and yet you embrass an ideology of coersion through the threat and/or actual use of violence.

"Why do you give a crap what I would do if all those things happened to me?" Well, I have been chronically ill for many years, with expensive medication needed to sustain me. I have met a lot of people over the years, many situations of the plight of the uninsured. A person would have to have a cold heart not to care about the misfortunes of another person. At the moment I have great insurance, however I haven't in the past. I hurts me to think of anyone sick without hope and good care.
