RSSHouse Votes For More Socialism
Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on September 30, 2007
The House on Tuesday approved an expansion of a health insurance program that would cover 10 million poor children at a cost of $35 billion, but fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto threatened by President Bush.
The vote was closely watched by the states, including California. The program, a federal-state partnership that now provides insurance for an estimated 6.6 million children, expires next week. If the program isn’t extended, millions of children could - at least temporarily - lose their health insurance.
Any of you sniveling Marxists out there want to point to the authority for such a program in the Constitution? And besides, I though that we had Medicaid to cover the medical costs of the “poor”? Guess that program wasn’t working too well …
Rights end when you forcibly reach into the pockets of another person to fund their existence.

Wow, it’s amazing how much pride you take in your arrogant, heartless, me-first attitude. A lot of people fall through the cracks of our hyper-capitalist healthcare system. Actually, the Constitution requires the government to protect us — making healthcare an option only for the well-off, or for those with decent jobs, only protects a privileged class.
I expect a bunch of knee-jerk reactions from idiotic simpletons who would divide the country into ‘conservatives’ and ‘liberals,’ but it’s sad how fascist this country has become since bush successfully came into power through his 2000 coup d’ etat.
You know, your comment might have warranted a response, but seeing as how you showed everyone how stupid you are by relating this post to “fascism” when it is the furthest from it I think puts the nail in your own coffin.
And just because steve has already shown he isn’t capable of using a dictionary:
Fascism: “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”
… that’s modern liberalism and EXACTLY what this post is railing against. But then again, steve probably thinks the NAZIs were “right wing” too.

It’s true.
Well, at least one of them tried … even if they couldn’t come up with an argument that hasn’t already been debunked several times with exact quotes from the federalist papers and the Constitution itself. And since the Constitution can only be changed by amendment and not what you feel it should say you are just SoL.
Federalist 41, the writings of Madison and Jefferson would be good reading material for you to learn what the Constitution actually says and what it means which you apparently were never taught or had enough initiative to learn.
FYI stevo, no trolling. It’s right in “the rules” which is one of those big sparkly tabs at the top of the page that you couldn’t apparently read.

“Wow, it’s amazing how much pride you take in your arrogant, heartless, me-first attitude.”
The only people with a “me first” attitude are those that think that they have the right to take by force the productivity of others. It’s those people with the “me” problem. People like yourself for example.
“A lot of people fall through the cracks of our hyper-capitalist healthcare system.”
You’re joking right? The healthcare system in the States is far from “hyper-capitalist”. Ever hear of Medicare, SCHIP, Medicaid? No, the government fascists have their hands all over it which is why it is struggling.
“Actually, the Constitution requires the government to protect us — making healthcare an option only for the well-off, or for those with decent jobs, only protects a privileged class.”
Re-read your Constitution boy-o or have your 5th grade teacher focus on it a little more on Monday when you return to class. Read Federalist 41 for a description of what the government can and cannot collect taxes for.
I doubt you will. Because that would require the facts to be ingrained in your head. The government is only tasked to “protect” us from threats (militaristic) foreign and domestic.
Jeff, I was looking for your “General Welfare Clause for Dummies” post to link to but couldn’t find it. Any ideas?

That’s not true PM. The government is also tasked with protecting us against infringements of our unalienable rights by other people within the United States. But there is no “right” to be insured against [insert X] here.
It’s like I said in last week’s article. You have to sometimes take some lumps and sometimes that means going into debt and working hard to get back on your feet. But for Marxists and the useful idiots that follow them, they don’t like that. Which is why they pimp socialism.

No idea Ron. Wasn’t that back in 2002 before the great database crash?
I probably should recreate it though. Was a damn good post and made the liberals spitting mad!

Point taken.
You can always tell a disciple of Marx who doesn’t like to admit that they are a disciple of Marx because they take offense to the use of terms like “liberal” and “conservative” to quickly describe someone’s beliefs.
Like stevo said, it’s too “simple” for them. They need huge, grandiose, complex ideas which require government management because the people are far too stupid to do it themselves.
Keep up the good work Jeff.

I believe it was.
Anyway stevo, federal 41 will answer most of your misconceptions about the Constitution and what powers our federal government actually has if they chose to follow it.
I thank God every day I’m no longer like stevo.
