Barack Obama sells snake oil?

Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is selling snake oil to the poor: social services, and government handouts. He's paying for it by taxing the rich, killing innovation and sending more Jobs overseas to countries that have lower business tax rates. McCain's talk about the US having the second highest biz tax rate in the world, isn't fluff, it's an important factor of deciding where to build factories and employ people!

It isn't class warfare, it's CLASS WARFARE. Since I want to live the American Dream and become rich and employ others, I am appalled by everything Obama stands for. And what he would do to the supreme court would be an atrocity. "Legislation from the bench" from liberal judges is probably one of the biggest, and most underreported issue of our time. Obama would not put people on the Supreme court who care about the constitution.

Obama himself said that he thinks Health Care is a right. It is not a right. It is a priviledge. It is not something that all people are entitled to. It DOES cost money, and someone has to pay for it. Only in a communist / socialist society do all sorts of privileges become rights. The constitution has well defined rights. And NOWHERE does it mention health care.

It sounds good to the poor, and makes Obama look like a "good samaritan" to say health care is a right. But that doesn't change the fact that he is lying.

No, health care is not a right. Imagine there is no health insurance company. Imagine you live in the Amazon rain forest. Imagine you get sick and need modern treatment. Should you get flown to a hospital somewhere to be taken care of? Are the airlines going to offer free tickets to sick people now? They would have to if it were a "right". Well it sure would be nice, and there are a few cases where this does happen internationally, BUT it is not a right. It depends on the kindness of others, and to be sure there is no way on earth that all who need hospitalized care can possibly get it. Hosptials are businesses, and cost money to run. If hospitals can't pay for medicine, and doctors, then hospitals close. If we shipped all the MILLIONS of AIDS victims in Africa, who are not being treated, to the US for care then the hospitals would close down. They would not be able to handle the influx of patients, or make money. You have to take your ideas to their logical conclusion, don't stop halfway in a "wouldn't it be nice 'fantasy'".

Yes, some benevolent doctors go to Africa and help over there, but they can only treat a minor portion of the need. And they are following Christ's footsteps when they do. And those who receive the care are privileged. It is not their right. I would agree that it is everyone's right to be treated with decency, and kindness, and therefore the best care available should be given. BUT that's the point, actually. All you can offer is the best available. Not every heart surgery patient can be operated on by the best heart surgeon in the world. The point is that having a free market health care system has made ours the best in the world. Canada's health care is atrocious. Do your homework. People have to wait in line for months to get surgeries completed... or if they are rich they fly to the US and are operated on immediately... AND PAY FOR IT.

In fact every country with socialized health care has major health care problems. Not the least of which is retaining talent. Great Britain is another great example. Government officials of countries with socialized health care do not get care in their own country... makes you think... (I hope)

That's as nice as I can be considering the fact that we are poised to have Obama destroy our country. I'm probably being too nice. People have died for our freedoms, and all I am doing is waging ideological war trying to keep them from disappearing.

The only good thing about an Obama win would be in four years (the next election) it would be a landslide back to conservative principles, and away from socialism/communism.

If you're wondering about how amazing socialized health care is:

Here's an actual scientific study done on wait times for surgery in Canada between 1991 - 2000. This one will chill your bones:

Pertinent quote:
"Of 8,756 patients who left the [wait] lists within 52 weeks: 7,991 underwent surgery; 90 died while waiting;"

"died while waiting"... I think I'll stick to the US' capitalist system health care, thank you.

Please do not believe socialist propaganda... :)
