What a brain on Fox and their ilk sees
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 03:46 PM by and-justice-for-all
So there is this guy I use to work with, sort of, we worked at the same place; who said the fllowing on another former co-workers Facebook:

"Show them the trillions of dollars the Obama administration is running up in debt,the long lines outside of hospitals that are run by socialized healthcare,and the declining dollar,not to mention the way our Constitutional Rights being stripped away!!"

Which I replied with: "Only if any of that was correct, which it is not. and Socialized healthcare WORKS and works WELL."

Then he replied with:

"Then why do hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world come to America for healthcare??Why do Canadians,Mexicans flock by the thousands daily to recieve health-care??,,why has over a dozen countries refused to take American dollars for monetary value??,,and why has the Obama administration attempted to silence news organizations from reporting his agenda??HHHMMM,,Maybe Mr.Everhart has been duped by a very good salesman!!Sorry Dee,,just what I see is happening!!"

Which I sent him an email with:

"Got a link to support this, other than Fox news or a blog? This is delusion to say the least and completely untrue. Canadians do not flock here for healthcare and Mexicans come here because their country is not the best economically, the states for them is also very easy for them to get to. If anyone has a lick of commonsense, they would be flocking to France, Italy or even Scandinavia for real care, since those countries have the best. Japan, where people out live all others in the world, has an outstanding health care system, they live the longest because of socialized health care.

Socialized medicine works and there is not a thing you can tell me to change my mind on that. I have done my reading and home work on other nations health care systems and the states ranking is pathetic.

A for profit system is a disaster and utter failure, if it is so splendid, why then have those other countries not dumped their national health care and adopt a for profit system? Simply because they like their national health system, it works and they do not want a US version of healthcare.

Taiwan, while doing research on for their healthcare reform, looked at all the health care systems in the world, but one; the States.

"why has the Obama administration attempted to silence news organizations from reporting his agenda?" Oh geez, more Alex Jones I would assume? please indulge me. This sounds like something Fox would say, oh wait, I think they did. At least they got back handed by the White House for their bullshit.

"why has over a dozen countries refused to take American dollars for monetary value??" The dollar is failing and is no longer a strong currency, our economy is in the crapper, thanks to Bush "policies". Trading on weak currency is not something other countries are interested in, so the Euro seems to be the best way to go. The dollar is very unstable

I have not been duped, I am not paranoid and naive enough to believe the shit that Fox and their ilk spew daily. You might want to consider getting off the junk, by junk I mean Fox, Limbaugh and that douche bag liar Beckkk."
