The society at large is not made up of individuals, but of groups of victims with a "gender", "race" or "class" consciousness. In other words, the left is the real world equivalent of the borg from star trek You will be assimilated into the collective. Resistance is futile.

Like many Americans, I too have to rely on deceit and emergency rooms in order to get to see a doctor. Which of course I do, like most of my friends now do as I taught them how to do it. Its three times more expensive for others to pay for but its necessary. Maybe, OBama will succeed and bring some change, but fighting the right wing and the rich medical companies has never been successful in the past. I doubt democrats will win this battle either. Our thought are with them. I just hope that somehow, someday we come up with a system that helps the poor get decent, affordable health care.

“some” Americans have a vested interest in painting America as the she devil relative to other countries. For this vision to hold water, other countries (i.e., all countries except the US, all those countries whose favor we’re constantly trying to win, see Barack Obama) must be presented as happy, homogeneous and idyllic, relative to the disharmony of the greedy She Devil.

Yet the Western media unquestionably repeated the regime’s official lie that all Soviet people were united behind the Communist Party and its policies.

[...] Horace, it's not about going out there and show 'them. Apparently you haven't learnt yet that conservatives have never been very enthusiastic interventionists, so - it's about making aware people around here about how well they do, and about how easy their well-being here can become an awful life like in a communist country, courtesy to a left wing dictatorship nurtured by apathy and ignorance. And since now we're caught in this public health debate - buddy, next time when you need medical assistance go to Cuba and try to survive their socialist public care (but this as a Cuban not as an American used for propaganda).
