Retired, Patriotic WWII Vet writes a letter to Obama

[bnwchbammer]

I kinda fail to see what's wrong with being a republican...It's better than being a communist socialist promoting government control like Obama

That's... stupid. No more comments.

QUOTE(Veho @ Nov 30 2009, 02:32 PM) What exactly is he saying? Is he going anywhere with that letter or is he just rambling? People keep mentioning "good points," but I see no points, good or otherwise.

When he says "not bow, kiss..." he's speaking of the two instances Obama bowed to his equals. I'm of Japan and Saudi Arabia. He bowed to both of them during his visits, and Japan merely nodded at him; Saudi Arabia showed nothing.

What type of president bows to equals? Just what is Obama trying to really prove?

That last line was a joke right? Please tell me it was, cuz I laughed as if it was a great sarcastic joke.

And the problem with socialism or communism is? And you do also realise that socialism and communism are two completely seperate things don't you? Socialism is far better then capitalism.

I really don't get the problem some Americans seem to have about socialised anything, specially socialised health care. Why is it so bad for people to have free and decent health care? How can anyone begrudge paying a little extra tax to make sure that some kid with cancer can get all the treatment he needs? Or if a kid is disfigured in an attack by a dog (or similar animal) and needs plastic surgery why would you begrudge him getting it simply because his parents can't afford it? Or what about the kid that's incredibly sick but his parents are drug addicts, shouldn't he be entitled to health care and all the medicine he needs to get better?

Who could be that selfish that they think sick people getting treated regardless of wealth is some kind of "evil". Stop listening to the people making profits off the sick and dying and are worried that they'll have to find some one else to leech from. If the amount you're currently paying towards medical insurance was instead put towards socialised health care what's the big deal? You're still out of pocket by exactly the same amount BUT you don't have to worry about being denied health care because someone's looking to make a few extra bucks for the shareholders. PLUS you don't have to worry about whether your family, friends, neighbours and everyone else in your country are getting decent health care.
