Re: Tea Party vs Christian Coalition
The child of a coal miner has the same right to healthcare as the child of a stock broker. Blaming the child for being born to coal miners is ridiculous. If the coal miner worked a little harder, he could become the stock broker. He just doesn't work hard enough.

Re: Tea Party vs Christian Coalition
The American Citizen offspring of that coal miner is not "irresponsible" for having been born to poor parents. "I'm rich, why aren't you?" I never said blame anyone. That family just needs to work harder. But why should I care about them? I have my millions, they should get their millions from THEIR hard work. What's so hard about that?

Re: Tea Party vs Christian Coalition
Is that 5 year old child mine? No. I provide health care to my children, why can't their parents? They can afford it, they just choose to buy other things instead of paying for healthcare.

Re: Tea Party vs Christian Coalition
That doesn't mean that we deny innocent children medical treatment on the basis of "a lack of personal responsibility" since it wasn't THEIR personal responsibility that put them in this situation. Why should I pay for someone else's healthcare? I can afford my own, they can too. No one is denying health care. They just choose to buy big screen t.v.'s and SUV's instead of healthcare for their children.
Allowing a 5 year old US citizen to die of some completely treatable medical condition simply because a DIFFERENT US citizen didn't get a college degree is ridiculous and indefensible. Where has this happened? Where has a child died of a completely treatable condition because they were denied health care (outside of the parents who thought prayer healing works)?

Re: "afford healthcare"
"They can afford it" is a ridiculous claim. A family pulling down 50k a year can not find a health insurance policy that will cover them at any cost, let along one they can afford. Again, why should I pay for it? I made my way, they should too. if they can't afford it, get a better job. or a second job.

Re: Tea Party vs Christian Coalition
It doesn't matter whether or not the parents are responsible. The parents are different people than the child. The child is a US citizen and does not deserve to die because some OTHER US citizen may or may not be responsible enough. Again, this is not my responsibility. If the parents can't afford healthcare for their children, they shouldn't have had them.

Re: "afford healthcare"
Because a 5 year old can not have A job, let alone a SECOND job. Of course not silly. His parents/guardians can. After all, he/she is their responsibility, not mine.

Where's Coyote when you need him.....
CPS is gub'ment. I'm against the gub'ment meddling in mah affairs. Them kids have family. Dammit. The longer I keep up this charade, the dumber I get. I can't believe I had you going so long. If you can't tell, I was playing devil's advocate in Coyote's absense.

All this seems very Ayn Rand, to me. More and more the ultra christian conservative right is seemingly championing Ayn Rand, all while failing to remember she was pro-choice and an atheist.....

The rich don't hold the world on their backs - they few stand on the shoulders of the many who are poor and do the actual work. But that IS the quality they hold in high regard. What they don't do, however, is acknowledge the fact that this person whom is so esteemed goes directly AGAINST two huge talking points (religion and abortion). The fact that Ayn Rand was an idiot in regards to the points you mentioned says nothing about why it is ironic that she is held in high regard by the TP. Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

Did no one see my Message 69 where I admitted to playing Devils Advocate? Just because the Tea Party position is so insane doesn't make it "trolling". The line, I fear, between devils advocate and troll has been blurred.
