Topic: Another one for the good list

Ron Johnson.  I like him when he was running against Russ Feingold, and I like him more and more, as time goes by.

I'd quote but the whole article is quotable.  Plus, you can always judge the success of something, from the reaction it gets, and this little editorial has thrown the enitire Army of Tard into an uproar.

As dry as the field seems to be for 2012 (experience wise), we're going to have an entire army of great candidates for 2016.

Very good piece. I read a few paragraphs yesterday. Thanks for putting it in front of me again - definitely worth reading the whole thing.

FTA:[blockquote]Take cancer as one example. Compared to the U.S., breast cancer mortality is 9% higher in Canada (according to the government statistics of each country), 52% higher in Germany and 88% higher in the United Kingdom (according to studies published in Lancet Oncology). Prostate cancer mortality is 604% higher in Britain.

Those in need of timely care from specialists are better off in the U.S. Drawing on several peer-reviewed studies, Dr. Scott Atlas of the Stanford University Medical Center notes that patients who need knee and hip replacement, cataract surgery, and radiation treatment wait months longer in the United Kingdom and Canada than in the United States.[/blockquote]

This is all so undeniably true, the tards don't even try to refudiate* it. Instead, they judge the success or failure on a completely different criteria: how many people have equal access to the "system". They ignore the reality that the vast majority of people have fast, unfettered access to the best health care in the world. They focus on the fact that the poor access the system through a different payer portal - and that the lower middle-class is burdened with paying at all - and they call it "injustice". They would prefer that everyone (but the elite, of course) access the system through the same payer portal as the poor, even if it means sacrificing the excellence that the vast majority now receives.

And that's just the reasoning of the "true believers". The REAL reason this is being shoved down our throats is to once and for all enslave the citizenry to the state.

Their position is completely immoral, and destructive. And as we can see by the efforts of other health care entitlement countries to dismantle their systems, their position is completely untenable. Yet they push forward. Can there be any doubt but that their intention is to destroy the health care system for all?

*It's in the dictionary now.

They used criteria that has nothing to do with the quality of health care received, and frankly, criteria that always measures much lower in certain "communities" if ya know what I mean.

#% of fat people.  % of people who have diabetes.

or measurements of things that are measured differently in this country than others, such as infant mortality.  We're the only country that counts all births in that statistic.  Other countries, if a baby is born with only a brain stem, and dies in a few hours, it's magically not a live birth.  Which is why the WHO, stopped comparing such.  So if you see a tard using the WHO to say US is 49th (or whatever such nonsense) it's meaningless.  Apples to oranges.

Which is why the trash of society can't take on Ron Johnson's ideas, they have to go hit him personally.  That's all they have.  After Media Matters bootcamp for Poli Sci retards, that's also all they know.

Good article and good comments.

No doubt the proglodytes will even whip out the race card at some point, since like you tow have said, they cannot argue facts and merits...personal attacks is all they got.

You'd think American's not living under a riock would recognize this easily and a DemonRat would never ever win an election ever again in any contested race.

I guess there are a lot of rock dwellers still out there...
