minor correction, health care is about 1/6 of our GDP. Frregards.

Thanks. You are kind to call it a minor correction because it is actually a big difference. Putting a political gag on that much of our industry is a major step into fascism.

He’ll try to ban gun ownership via universal government healthcare.

Oh I agree to never trust the media, but they must be stopped from choosing a side. That is what brought these communists to power. Obama never would have won without this bias.

-- I agree to never trust the media, but they must be stopped from choosing a side. --

Well, we seem to have an irreconcilable disagreement on the way to resolve the issue, as between making an "unbiased, trustworthy" media (which I hold is impossible, and even if it could be obtained, would result in the media having power over the people); and having a discerning, skeptical public that cannot be lead (very far, at least) by shysters.

What brought the shysters to power was public gullibility and public greed. The media is just the carnival barker, doing what carnival barkers do - fleece the marks.

Gun-control advocates claim that banning the CDC from examining gun control amounts to a gag order on science. After all, what can be wrong with further scientific inquiry?

Agreed. Let's do a quick scientific experiment. Put a loaded gun to your head, and pull the trigger...

After careful experimentation with morons, and duplication of our results by other universities (again, using morons), we have concluded that guns are dangerous (and messy).

If you are a liberal/socialist/democRAT, don't buy a gun. You don't want it, and couldn't use it if needed.

Right, so lets kick the *&^% out of the media and educate the marks. Obama and Rahm are serving this up for us. They are attacking Fox while praising/lecturing the others. There has got to be a way to leverage this. Hell the Big 3 and CNN just told the WH no on excluding Fox. Even they are seeing the problem. As for a skeptical public, every year there’s a new crop of ignorant voters who need years to develop this skepticism. If we dont reign in the MSM we will always have communists getting elected.

“First open gun grab will be the 2nd shot heard around the world.”

Wrong. The “first open gun grab” will RESULT in the “2nd shot heard round the world.”

“Will the CDC do a study on the health hazards of gun confiscation?”

Good point!

“Obamao’s arrogance is going to get the best of him when he goes after our guns. You know he wants to, but he and the radical left know it isn’t politically feasible right now.”

Rather, they are scared sh!tless at the thought of what the response from the American people would be if they tried it. Their fear is well-founded, because the attempt at confiscation will most certainly result in armed resistance and civil war.

“This is the WHOLE POINT behind getting control of the medical care system - to be able to punish behavior which the left doesn’t approve of.”

The left isn’t going to like our response to that.

No way Canada is going to send troops to the U.S. to disarm the American people. They’d never get across the border.

“Foreign troops on U.S. soil, fine targets for armed citizens. Will not happen in my life. Not as long as I draw breath.”

I agree that foreign troops on U.S. soil would make for fine targets. I do not necessarily agree that it would not happen in your lifetime, unless you are in your 90s. As for drawing a breath, just remember to take a deep breath, slowly exhale half-way, hold it, and gently pull the trigger.

Brilliant

here’s one for you

Near Fredericksburg, Texas, where there is a large German-speaking population, a farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.

The farmer shouted: ‘Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen.’

(Which means: ‘Don’t drink the water, the cows have s*** in it.’)

The man shouted back: ‘I’m from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama’s health care plan, I can’t understand you. Please speak in English.’

The farmer replied: ‘Use two hands, you’ll get more
