I will take your points and refute them with truth, something you should look into.

Lets see... american healthcare costs the most and you are right above Slovakia (or something like that), sitting 37th in the world... congrats
The USA has the greatest health care system on the planet. Period. Canada can't even keep their own doctors in their country, they come to the USA, as do some of your countrymen when they can't get the care they need in your own country. Where does someone go if they need serious treatment.. France? Canada? No. We choose our doctor, we have a relationship with our doctors and we don't wait in ridiculous lines for treatment. We don't have to wait for months for procedures. Ever heard of getting what you pay for? And by the way, anyone who thinks Obama is going to hand out free health care needs to catch a clue, they will more than make up for it in taxes. Of course they'll only tax those of us who contribute by working for a living.

The patriot act is a joke... but as long as you are allowed to keep your guns you dont care, oh well. "so we are keeping the guns?? good. go ahead, take the rights."
Yeah we only care about guns, and you're a bunch of beer drinking, hockey loving retards. Stereotypes are fun aren't they?
The Patriot act saves lives. But your drunk and playing hockey in your backyard, no reason for you to know the facts about the Patriot act.

). So the democrats are not the party of big government - they all are.
I don't want to get personal here, but wow. Just wow. The Republicans the party of big government. heh
Gobbles wrote:And if you drill, You are NOT energy independent. In fact oil is priced on a world scale and there is no labels on the barrels telling you where it is coming from...
No you aren't energy independent, what it does do however is make you not have to rely so heavily on a middle east who hates you. And when the USA starts drilling again guess what happens to oil prices, they go down regardless of who is pricing it. It's simple economics, it's called supply and demand.
Gobbles wrote:and bush started the bail out... Republican parties slogan: "privatize profit, nationalize debt" < but as soon as you nationalize profit you SCREAM socialist...
Bush did quite a few things I wasn't so happy about including getting the ball rolling on the auto maker bailout, weak on the borders, spending like a Democrat, etc.
If someone can watch what is happening with the Obama administration and not see socialism written all over it, then they don't know what socialism is.
You are the perfect example of a smart person with bad information. Or you have preconceived notions that bias your dissemination of the facts. Either way lets make a deal, you don't pretend to know what's going on in the USA and I won't pretend to understand Canada. Sounds like a deal eh?
BTW I just took time out of programming for this clan and website to respond to this, so this is my last response in this thread as it takes to long to respond the way I want to. Have fun!
