You are Canadian? Cool. I wish I was Canadian. But no, I ended up an American instead. >:|

And to think that my parents came THIS close to giving up American citizenship and moving to Canada after they married. -holds index and thumb half an inch apart-

Too true. In fact, the USA is hated by some of its own citizens. Such as me. I hate being American and I’m taking the first chance I get to immigrate to Ireland.

No, India got disgusting health care system! I live here, I know!
They will give you antibiotics for whatever you sickness are, and they
will nwver tell you, what is happening with you! Even if they ask.
So, I`m not going to doctors anymore… The best healthcare (and education also) – you will be surprised – is still in Russia.

Ahhh, youth! The bliss of being young & ignorant…When “history” is some-thing that happened 4 years ago and anything older than that has no relevance. So we are “doomed to repeat what we know nothing of” over and over again, with wide-eyed innocence and naive arrogance. I’d envy you except having been there I know that it’s much better to see what’s coming. Even if it’s abysmally ugly & stupid.
Want to be prescient, like me? Read some GOOD history books on World Politics of the 20th century (maybe published in Canada, Great Btritain, Australia, since it’s very hard to get the TRUTH in the US now)…instead of getting your info from whatever talking-points you listen to while gnosching your Fruit Loops.
Study what the Real issues were in the 1950s-60s! You’ll be amazed! It was nothing at all like “That 70s Show”, or the other trash your rabid-rightie Handlers and Masters feed you through that “liberal” (Corporate!) Media myth they keep telling you about. You’ve been so robbed of real truth, history, & honest information in your lives that it’s no wonder you don’t know which end is up.
READ ORWELL’S “1984″!! If that doesn’t give you a clue or two, some
INSIGHT into the way things really are,right here right now all around you, then forget it all and go home to mommy. Orwell was the first to expose the spin…”black is white”, “up is down”, “dumb is smart”, “bad is good”, “lies are truth”……etc.
Because, baby cakes, YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON YOU! And to make good decisions for yourselves, YOU NEED THE TRUTH. Duhhh. You’re not getting anything close to that from ‘Big Daddy’ in the Corporate-Government or the Corporate-Media. It’s an AUTHORITARIAN mess that makes you think the way they want you to in order to CONTROL you for their own benefit & profit$.
READ NAOMI KLEIN’S “THE SHOCK DOCTRINE”"…The Rise of Disaster
Capitalism” (2007), in which she describesthe rise of “The New American
Century”, as described in the PNAC Papers (Google it), the Wing-bat Right’s plans to take over the world for the next 100 years. Sound tinfoil-hat wacko? Read it! It’s even worse than that. But it’s real & the Rovian Bushies believed every word of it.
They still believe it, regardless of it all falling down around their fuzzy old ears now. And McSame believes it, too, & is determined to keep trying to follow the program, while the ship sinks. I know you deluded Reichies out there will bristle. You’ve been drinking way too much of the psychedelic Koolade. Nor does a six-pac a day help any, bucko. Everything your Reichie bosses say & do is designed to keep them in control of You! THAT is the difference in Canada, Australia, & Europe! It didn’t work over there. Only Americans get trapped by that “macho” myth and strut around like banty roosters…with a brain of equal size. Only Americanos swallow the Authoritarian mush and think it’s true only because they want to believe it.”Big Daddy” says so and that’s good enough. Wave the flag and spout & bunch of bunkum, swig down a Bud & stick a flag on your SUV. Who “win$”? You? US? No, THEM, that’s who. The Big Daddies who’ve been sucking down all the cash and running the whole damned show while you strut around feeling all macho because they told you that if you just trusted them, they’d “win” for you. Yeah. Right. And you believed them. Probably still believe them even right now, “right or wrong”, right?
The New American Century is over, dudes. So is the old American influence. Progressive liberalism is spreading because SMART people see that is the best way to run things in the 21st Century. Except for still Deluded few, most people everywhere see that CLEAN ENERGY, SUSTAINABILITY, GOOD GOVERNMENT, RESTRAINED FINANCES, GOOD EDUCATION & GOOD ECONOMY, JUSTICE & LIBERTY FOR ALL TO SHARE IN THE BENEFITS OF SMART SOCIETY…is the way to benefit most of the people most of the time. INSTEAD OF MAXIMUM BENEFITS & PROFIT4 FOR THE VERY FEW AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MASSES. Which has been the neoCONS game.
And they all of who FOLLOWED them like puppy dogs, licking their hands when they threw you scraps.
BRAIN POWER is what humans are all about, dudes! Without that, we’re failed apes! You’ve got EXERCISE YOUR BRAIN to make it strong and supple! You’ve got to READ & STUDY, most of all….and not just stuff on TV or the web. You don’t get anything but propaganda on one and 90% of the other is just brats like who scan a bunch of talking points into their fuzzy gray-matter and spout it back & forth thinking it soooo “smart”! Hah! Monkeys are smarter than that. They learn not to be so gullible and trusting, lest somebody eat them. You could learn from that, too.
And you’d better learn that & fast…because if the Reichies get into power AGAIN in the US…you WILL get eaten, my sweeties! The Rovians Reichies will chew you up and spit out your bones like jackles chewing up rabbits…rabbits sitting wide-eyed & unbelieving while the jackals tear them apart.

Google “national security letter.” If someone had their mail looked at by the government, or if someone were awakened by “some warrantless search boogeyman,” it would in fact be ILLEGAL for them to talk to ANYONE (including a lawyer) about what happened.

“What do you mean by “better” healthcare? Do you mean more insurance coverage?”

These rankings are according to the World Health Organization, and they track things like universal access to health care, longevity, infant mortality and access to pre-natal care, etc. Please click my name for the latest rankings; we are 37th in the world.

I readily admit our health care is among the best in the world IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT; one of the big problems we have is that we run our health care for a profit instead of regarding it as a part of the commons.

As for how they live over there; Thom Hartmann reports that in Sweden (where the average person pays 40% of their income in taxes), minimum wage is $14 an hour. Housing and gas are expensive, all right, but when you can get as much education as you can successfully complete for free, free health care, and a kick ass system of public transport, you don’t need as much money. It also helps that they don’t have the drive to consume that americans have.

I also love that in Europe, a fourty hour work week is the norm, and everyone gets four weeks or more of vacation. Imagine having actual time to spend with your children, helping them with their homework! *sigh*

“You still need a warrant to search someone’s home, tap his phone or go through his email”

That is simply not true. All it takes is for law enforcement to *claim* they have a reason to investigate you; their warrant will follow. They don’t have to show just cause or spell out what they’re looking for or where they want to look for it. There is no power held by anyone to oversee these warrants and be certain they are not being used in an abusive way.

And you want to hand that power over to Obama?

I know I don’t want “Troopergate” Palin to have access to that power!

Ok,seriously? Who here exactly has had their mail looked at by the government? Who among you has been woken in the night by some warrantless search boogeyman? Go on, tell us all about it. If you want a lesson in American freedoms, watch a British criminal trial. Go see what life is like under a communist dictator like Hugo Chavez where people disappear in the street and are never heard from again. Go to tribal Pakistan where the great free Osama is probably hiding and witness a ritual murder against some poor girl who dares go out with someone her father doesnt approve.
This isnt a LOL. This is probably one of the most retarded statements I have ever heard. This site is supposed to be about having fun at politicians expense, and getting a laugh out of it. This caption is just disgusting.

just remember, Hitler came to power with emergency powers in a time of crisis. The reason the founding fathers put checks in place is because the didn’t trust the government, and having worked for it and having seen this administration in action, i still agree with their assessment.

You have got to be kidding. I spend a lot of time in Europe (mostly the Benelux and Germany) and just about anybody I encounter knows more about US politics than a large portion of the actual, honest-to-God American citizens that I share a town with.

I do think Europeans have a different approach to politics. In Europe, if something doesn’t go as the ‘public’ wants, they clamor for change, even let the government crash and burn if need be. And there’ll be much rejoicing in the streets. Americans (including myself, actually) seem to want to wait it out. It can’t stay bad forever, right? And you know what you have, and not what you’ll get.

I read from a non-US source some years ago that he died of “natural causes” and is buried in Pakistan in an unmarked grave. I assumed few believe this official story, based on the off-hand and non-conspiratorial manner in which Benezir Bhutto described Omar Shiekh to British journalist M(ark?) Frost as “the man who assassinated Osama bin Laden”.

“What do you mean by “better” healthcare? Do you mean more insurance coverage? I.e. “more” healthcare? Last I checked if you’ve got a serious illness and want the best doctors you still come to the U.S.”

Cuba has better healthcare than we do. And if you want the best you go to India. Cheaper and better.
