Can We Talk?

Americans And Their Fear Of Socialized Medicine

Why is that?  What are they so afraid of?  Socialized medicine.  That’s a bad thing? 

There has been this ongoing brainwashing of the American mind, and Canadian also but not to that extent.  Fear of Socialism.  Not sure why but it probably has something to do with Russia and their revolution. 

Stepping back in time, all countries ruled by royalty treated their people like so much dirt under their feet.  All that class system like one was better than another.  Blue blood.  Where did that come from?  Prick Prince William with a needle and show me where you see blue.  And don’t talk to me about it’s a metaphore.  It’s bullshit, that’s what it is.

Industrial revolution and it’s OK to have children work in factories beside the adults.  They’re nothing special.  They’re commoners, not worthy of any respect.  They’re like cattle or oxen.  Livestock and born to toil for their masters.

But I digress.

I hope ordinary Americans have the good sense to see past the fear-mongering Republicans and see where it would benefit them, their children and generations to come.  Even if they have to pay a little more income tax.  So what?  It’s a damn sight cheaper than facing over-the-top medical bills that could ruin them financially.  Personally, I prefer an across-the-board government run program.  It simplifies things.  Hey, but anything is better than what they’ve got now.

So, do my views make me a Socialist?  Maybe they do.  Yeah, I guess they do and I’m proud of it.

Go, Barak.  I’m proud of you.  Well, I’d be more proud if you brought your troops home.

Socialized Medicine In The Trent Hills

We’d heard so many horror stories about the lack of doctors in the country.  I don’t know where the stories originated.  There was even a Canadian woman on an American commercial that the Republicans ran over and over.  She claimed she had to go to the US to get medical treatment for something.  I can’t remember what.  Maybe her heart?  She claimed her doctor said there was a two year waiting list for the treatment she needed.  I wonder how much she was paid for that commercial?  She’s a liar of the first order.

Americans Are Weird

Let me explain.  This morning I watched a report on CNN about the possibility of the tourist embargo being lifted so Americans can visit Cuba.  What does some idiot add to that?  They would have to lift trade embargo as well because otherwise Americans would have to stay in a Spanish Hotel, drive a Spanish car and – eek – eat Canadian food. 

Say what?  No McDonalds epicurian delights?  No Holiday Inn?  Well, we can’t have that. 

Have you ever?  No wonder the rest of the world looks on them as cave men.

Back Obama, You Morons!

And that includes you, John McCain.  

I know this is turning into the Obama site.  Sorry about that but some things just have to be told and opinions expressed.

I hate  Republicans.  There, I said it.  I hate all right wing Conservative types.  They will always vote for the status quo.  What idiots would ever vote for parties whose main aim is to do nothing?  “Let the Market Decide” is their mantra.  What a crock.  “The Market” is made up of people and we can see what those people have done.  Bunch of thieves.  Besides, have you ever met one – one Republican that was hot?  Never.  And what’s with all the Bible thumping?  What is that?  And they’re the same ones that have a lot to say about Islam.  Read more…

President Obama

I am surprised that the media has launched a campaign against him, attacking his policy of transparency.  They got mad because they didn’t asked into the second swearing in.  They got mad because they didn’t get to sit in on a private meeting with his chiefs of staff.  What did they think?  They are not part of his cabinet.  They are reporters.  Know your place!  Did they think they would be part of the inner sanctum?  Idiots.

I feel certain that President Obama is not a man to mess with.  He is all business and all focused.  He’s there to do a job and he will do it.  So, media, back off and let the man do his job! The days of idle gossip and nit-picking are over.  If you don’t back off, the public will hate you, stop buying your newspapers and you will be out of a job. 

You want dirt?  You want to harass?  Try Hollywood.  They thrive on it.
