I hope all you Obama voters learn your lesson over the next 4 years. Maybe...after nationalized healthcare leaves millions w/o any healthcare like in Britain and Canada...after millions of babies are slaughtered halfway out of their mothers' wombs...after the government steals 50% of our money and gives it to lazy homeless people in South Chicago...after we lose our right of free speech and radio stations are forced to provide liberals with "equal" time on the airwaves...after our Bill of Rights is violated by the government taking away our right to bear arms...after doctors are given the right to assist their patients in suicide...maybe then you all will realize what you've done.
It's a bad day when the United States of America elects a man by the name of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency.

You really have no concept of how healthcare works here in Canada, do you? Nationalized healthcare means everyone in the nation gets healthcare. I get sick, I go to the ER. I have a family doctor. And despite what the alarmists would say, in a city of 75K I have never had to wait for more than a half hour in the ER unless it's really, REALLY busy. GO back and do some homework.
You don't NEED your precious guns, for fuck's sake! What the hell could you possibly use them for? And assisted suicide? Big whoop. The only people getting it want to die anyway. A doctor would have to be pretty stupid to kill ALL his patients, don't you think?
Excuse me? I LIVE in Britain, and the NHS, while having a few flaws, is overall one of the best health care systems in the world.
@Mortok
I would suggest that most of what we possess we don't NEED. The fact that guns are not a necessity is not, by itself, justification to take them.
Also, for the record, I voted for Obama, I do not own a single gun, and am not against gun control laws per se, but the whole argument that they are not a necessity, so should be illegal, troubles me.
"fter nationalized healthcare leaves millions w/o any healthcare like in Britain and Canada"
Pro tip - if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about, shut the fuck up.
It should be noted that the man italicized the word Hussein, and when asked why he held that name against Obama, responded that the name only highlights what he's done.
Maybe I'll agree when he kills political dissidents.
Well, here in Britain NO-ONE is denied healthcare and no-one in healthcare ever asks how much money you have and whether you can pay for treatment. No-one is denied medicine because they have no money. And this is worse than the system in the US how, exactly?
You're a bigoted dickhead, aren't you?
And I'll add to that, if you want to pay for private healthcare, you can! Nobody stops you! BUPA runs ads on the TV and everything.
Everybody else - and I mean everybody - has full access to healthcare. Ain't perfect, but, hey, it's pretty good. And we're not driven into poverty by the taxes needed to pay for it, either.
How is any of this bad?
after nationalized healthcare leaves millions w/o any healthcare like in Britain and Canada
Yeah... I think you'll find that being on a waiting list for an operation (which is what this is about) doesn't mean they're w/o any healthcare at all...
It should be noted that the US suffers similar waiting times for operations, and they don't have this universal healthcare. (but they do have millions who cannot afford ANY healthcare)
U.K.: free healthcare, almost no guns
U.S.: almost no free healthcare, guns
You sure you aren't cheering on the wrong team, outcasts-anonymous?
millions w/o any healthcare like in Britain
As others have already pointed out but it's worth repeating it again: Say what you want about the NHS, but nobody - let me bold that: nobody - goes without healthcare in the UK.
Let's for the purposes of academic review analyse this series of statements...
1) Untrue, as universal, free health care has existed in the U.K since the mid-1940's.
2) Untrue, & possibly defamatory.
3) Have you tried a decent accountant, preferably specialising in tax legislation...?
4) Technically, you could argue that at present, the U.S does not have freedom of speech, as the majority of U.S news media is privately owned, & as such reflects their owner's viewpoint, political or otherwise, to the exclusion of all others...
5) Are you a member of your state's National Guard, as amendment 2 refers to said right, in the context of the citizen in question, being part of a recognized militia...?
6) Holland & Switzerland have already have this, & they have'nt disintegrated into anarchic chaos as gar as I know..
1) Eh...? The U.K has had universal, free healthcare since the mid-1940's.
2) Ever thought of hiring a acccountant...? (I think they count as a tax deductable expence).
3) Given the amount of private ownership of the U.S mass media, & the resultant reported cases of manipulation of stories & overt censorship, you could argue that the U.S has effectively lost any freedom of speech it once had...
3) Are you a member of your state's National Guard, as the second amendment was originally framed in the context of a "arms bearing citizen", being a mamber of a recgonized Militia...
4) The Netherlands & Switzerland already have this right & they have'nt disintergrated into anarchic chaos...
"Maybe...after nationalized healthcare leaves millions w/o any healthcare like in Britain"
False. Britain's healthcare is vastly better than America's. America's current healthcare system has left millions without healthcare.
"after we lose our right of free speech and radio stations are forced to provide liberals with "equal" time on the airwaves..."
There's a big difference between liberals and conservatives: conservatives are religiously motivated, and don't let trivial subjects such as "morality" or "humanity" get in their way.
Confused?
