CNN’s Wolf Blitzer posed this question to Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul: “A healthy young, 30-year-old man has a good job, makes a good living but decides, ‘You know what? I’m not going to spend $200 or $300 a month on health insurance because I’m healthy, I don’t need it.’ But something terrible happens, all the sudden he needs it. What’s going to happen if he goes into a coma? Who pays for that?” “What he should do is whatever he wants to do,” Paul replied. “That’s what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare to take care of everybody…” “Are you saying society should just let him die?” Blitzer asked. The audience responded with shouts of “Yes!”” 7:42:45 AM 9/13/11 Well? “What’s going to happen if he goes into a coma? Who pays for that?” 8:01:20 AM 9/13/11 “Reminds me of the discussion Tarabull had with a local student about who should have to pay for Rape Kits.” 8:06:36 AM 9/13/11 “It's called societal compassion. It's what humans should do. Sure you and I pay for it, but it's the human thing to do. It's a price I'm willing to pay so we don't have body patrols on the streets picking up bodies like garbage as they do in El Salvador. It's what separates us from the beasts as much as some would prefer that we just retain a simian response. If anything, we should be pulling back aid in other countries and focus it within our borders. I am all for that and have advocated that for years.” 8:49:25 AM 9/13/11 “I watched the debate and I think they were mocking Ron Paul, not cheering for someone's death as Wolf Blitzed implied. Watch it for yourself; Did Tea Partiers Cheer Man’s Death During Debate? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/did-tea-partiers-cheer-mans-death-during-debate/” 11:05:17 AM 9/13/11 “Ron never answered the question, but yes they cheered the part about liberty giving the people the choice to do what they want, to take responsibility for themselves, which we all know never happens among any group of Americans whether Libertarian or Communist. Doctors take an oath to treat patients with disregard to payment. Is Ron any more of a doctor than his son Rand is?” 12:21:28 PM 9/13/11 “Gimmie a break, Strat. They are not responding to Paul's comment. They cheer and laugh when they say he should die. It's pretty clear cut. Nice bunch the baggers are.” 12:52:24 PM 9/13/11 “If that makes you feel better, just keep on telling yourself that.....” 1:06:17 PM 9/13/11 “I think anyone with half a brain can see that.” 1:10:32 PM 9/13/11 “Just go ahead and admit that you agree with the yahoo audience reaction, Strat.” 1:14:44 PM 9/13/11 “Dang Strat, even Rick Perry, who was actually at the debate, thinks the audience wanted the guy to die... And the day after the event, Texas Gov. Rick Perry offered his own criticism of the audience response. "I was a bit taken aback by that myself," Perry told NBC News and the Miami Herald of the audience reaction after appearing at a breakfast fundraiser in Tampa Tuesday morning. "We're the party of life. We ought to be coming up with ways to save lives." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/audience-tea-party-debate-cheers-leaving-uninsured-die-163216817.html” 1:22:11 PM 9/13/11 “Remarkable.” 2:19:22 PM 9/13/11 “It's called societal compassion. It's what humans should do. Sure you and I pay for it, but it's the human thing to do. It's a price I'm willing to pay... roseymonster 8:49:25 AM 9/13/11 Right---I'm sure there are more than enough compassionate people who believe the same thing you do and if you pool your resources together you should be able to pay for it. Maybe even have your own doctors who work for free. I'm sure Warren Buffet would love to have you pay for his healthcare but would probably say he should pay for it himself.” 3:58:55 AM 9/14/11 “We do pay for Warrens health care, that is IF INCOME TAX is the engine that is supposed to run government? He pay's no tax on his health care that he gives himself, but writes it against income forthe IR. Maybe an $80k per year HC plan??? With spa vacations and ....” 7:17:52 AM 9/14/11 Warren Buffet 7:19:06 AM 9/14/11 “‘AttackWatch’: New Obama Campaign Website Claims Beck ‘Twists the Facts on Israel’ http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-obama-campaign-website-claims-beck-twists-the-facts-on-israel/” 7:22:49 AM 9/14/11 “So, I guess you're in the let him die camp, non. Got any more conjecture to relay? I really love the billionaire hypotheticals...” 7:23:11 AM 9/14/11 “No sillier than Wolf Blitzer's healthy coma victim, lol.” 7:29:41 AM 9/14/11 “Miffed? LOL, no, why would I be? BTW, I'm not a tea partier but I support some of what they stand for. Not sure how/why you consider them "self-serving a-holes" though. I'm not afraid of being called callous either. Are you?” 7:53:17 AM 9/14/11 “One of the reasons we formed this government was to provide for the general welfare. If some folks would rather not contribute, go build your own libertarian paradise elsewhere. ![]() 7:54:19 AM 9/14/11 “Agreed.” 7:56:42 AM 9/14/11 “Island for sale or rent, Kleenex for fifty cents.” 7:58:20 AM 9/14/11 “Come on strat, check your posts first, please. BTW as far as agreeing, I think it was less about providing "general welfare" than it was about providing opportunity.” 8:05:28 AM 9/14/11 “Is The Blaze the Texan fire report?” 8:29:01 AM 9/14/11 “Self-serving in that they're not willing to pay into the public pool to help someone who was in need of medical attention and are quick to say that someone should die. By oath, doctors are required to do this. It's part of that whole, I got mine, now go and get your own, republican philosophy bit. I wonder if they would stand by their views if the tables were turned and they were without benefits? Would you? It's hard to do, not knowing the circumstances, and I, for one, take comfort in knowing the resources are there to help me should I ever need them. The line between me and they guy on the street really isn't that huge and I always remember that.” 8:36:29 AM 9/14/11 “Would you sell your soul for a piece of gold?” 8:45:15 AM 9/14/11 “I don't think that's possible. How big a piece of gold are we talking? But seriously..... ...they're not willing to pay into the public pool to help someone who was in need of medical attention... It's part of that whole, I got mine, now go and get your own, republican philosophy bit. See, if that's stuff that you really believe to be true then I'm not sure what will make you look at it objectively. How do you come to have those incorrect philosophies?” 9:08:42 AM 9/14/11 “What Uncliff had it wrong about the audience reaction? “Ron never answered the question, but yes they cheered the part about liberty giving the people the choice to do what they want, to take responsibility for themselves...... uncliff” 9:41:05 AM 9/14/11 “NONCON, I tries to edit it but it wouldn't let me I was asking Violin to explain how racking up unsustainable debt promotes the general welfare of my children” 12:31:34 PM 9/14/11 “Violin?” 2:23:01 PM 9/14/11 ““What Uncliff had it wrong about the audience reaction? �Ron never answered the question, but yes they cheered the part about liberty giving the people the choice to do what they want, to take responsibility for themselves...... uncliff†That's what they were yelling about taking the risk of having the freedom to make their own choice and Ron Paul, now that he's an (R) never answers any question, that's against the(R)rules.” 12:39:41 PM 9/15/11 “PS; Ron Paul always tries to answer questions by going into pre-civil rights history years like 1960, 'the churches...blah blah'.” 12:44:18 PM 9/15/11 “I thought Paul answered the question just fine” 2:07:47 PM 9/15/11 “He's no more Libertarian than Barack Otrama. How can one be a real libertarian and believe the buybill and the self subordination it requires to not just one king ,but two or three. He and his son are worthless as the two in the above.” 7:47:17 PM 9/15/11 WSJ touts Beck's latest success “Haha! suck it, haters! http://www.theblaze.com/stories/revolution-against-tv-wsj-profiles-success-of-gbtv-2/” 11:26:20 AM 3/15/12 “10 bucks to listen to that garbage? LOL! There really is a suck born every minute. By the looks of it, approximately 300,000 of them.” 1:38:18 PM 3/15/12 “So who/what do you listen to, watch, read, for information and insight on things, Q2? Please tell us one source because all I've ever heard you do is call EVERYONE a DB I just think it's hilarious that everybody was all "Beck got fired from FOX" when he only made 2.5 mil there and he quit and started his own gig and made 42 mil!” 2:01:25 PM 3/15/12 “Liberals can't see beyond their hate.” 2:10:44 PM 3/15/12 “I'm lucky , I can sea Mississippi from my porch.” 3:16:02 PM 3/15/12 “"I just think it's hilarious that everybody was all "Beck got fired from FOX" when he only made 2.5 mil there and he quit and started his own gig and made 42 mil!" It just goes to show that there are a fair amount of gullible people out there. I'm not a bit surprised about the amount of money he's made. Hell, televangelists make good coin hocking fear and doom like Beck. "So who/what do you listen to, watch, read, for information and insight on things, Q2?" I read the same things you do and a lot more. I just have a better BS filter. "Please tell us one source because all I've ever heard you do is call EVERYONE a DB" That's completely false. I have only called DBs, DBs -- not everyone. I haven't called you one, right?” 5:05:39 PM 3/15/12 “I find it peculiar that you criticize all my sources as non-credible and refuse to share your's. What proof do you have that Beck listeners are gullible? Did it ever occur to you that the things Beck says are easily verifiable and that I and other listeners check his story and research the the things he says? That people are smart enough to think through the reasoning and logically make up their minds for themselves? If you really knew his show you'd know that he tells you repeatedly to "check it out for yourself, don't take my word for it." How can you possibly assume you read "a lot more" than I do? You've never met me. If you think Beck's only about fear and doom, that only shows you are unqualified because you don't listen to him and believe the elite conventional wisdom, making you the most gullible of all.” 5:24:30 PM 3/15/12 “"What proof do you have that Beck listeners are gullible?" From the majority of the posts from your keyboard. You've bought into the "program" hook line and sinker. "I find it peculiar that you criticize all my sources as non-credible and refuse to share your's" Oreeeeeelllly? Be careful of that last word in your sentence; the grammar Nazi will get you! OOhhhhhh noooooeeeesss! lol. I did share some of my sources; you over looked that. Go back to "Go" and try again. "Did it ever occur to you that the things Beck says are easily verifiable and that I and other listeners check his story and research the the things he says? That people are smart enough to think through the reasoning and logically make up their minds for themselves? If you really knew his show you'd know that he tells you repeatedly to "check it out for yourself, don't take my word for it."" I watched Beck when he was on Fox. Nothing but a gasbag. I have "checked it out" and it usually comes back smelling like BS. I've pointed many things out to you over the years about these things and your "sources". I really don't give a hoot and ca boot about having any sort of reasonable conversation with you about this, that time is long passed. The hyperbole, fallacies and poor reasoning from your keyboard hardly warrants any serious and honest engagement. Get soaked; it sure ain't my money or time. It's a free country; no matter how many times you and others try and will it into the ground. "How can you possibly assume you read "a lot more" than I do? You've never met me. " You're right; I've never met you -- don't need to. Your posit does nothing to support how much you read. However, your posts do reflect what you read. Again, I don't need to personally meet you to know that; you provide that on a daily basis. But then again that was not what I was saying. Hmmmmmmm. What was it that I was saying? Hmmmmmmm. You ponder that for a while and get back to me. "If you think Beck's only about fear and doom, that only shows you are unqualified because you don't listen to him and believe the elite conventional wisdom, making you the most gullible of all." Unqualified? WTF is that supposed to mean? Is that something like Bonafide? No? Yikes! The Beckian term "elite conventional wisdom" is just typical paranoia. Education is a tool; I highly suggest you try it some time. Beck attended (ooooohhhhhhhhh!!) Yale; I believe he even got a recommendation from Joe Lieberman if I'm not mistaken. IMHO, this is where he gets his apathy for "Ivory Towerists" because he didn't have the stones to make it through to a degree. He's a suicidal drug addict and alcoholic; certainly not the type of unstable person who I would give a dime to. I've got a Jackson that says that POS will off himself within five years from today. He's got a knack for displacing suckers from their money though -- I've got to hand to him on that front. But so do other soapbox preachers.” 7:16:22 PM 3/15/12 “Lord have mercy Strat! Do I have to spell it out for you.....?” 7:16:46 PM 3/15/12 “Weak sauce q. EXTREMELY weak sauce. You got nothin but insults. It proves you're scared to debate me. You keep sayin it's not worth talking about but you sure seem to think it's worth talking about how it's not worth talking about. Isn't that weird? Btw, I've never given Beck a dime. Just another one of your pompous assumptions.” 8:43:36 PM 3/15/12 “Ape, yes. Please spell it out for me cuz!” 8:45:28 PM 3/15/12 “"Weak sauce q. EXTREMELY weak sauce." FLMAO! "You got nothin but insults." Name one from that post. "It proves you're scared to debate me." This post proves that you're trying to insult me into a debate and misrepresents the whole interaction. "You keep sayin it's not worth talking about but you sure seem to think it's worth talking about how it's not worth talking about. Isn't that weird? ' FLMAO! Honestly, it's like talking to a brick wall. I think your obvious lack of reading comprehension, exampled and pointed out by me in my last post, is foundational casualty regarding your worldview and political viewpoints. And honestly, that's not an insult. I am just pointing out that with every interaction you really seem to miss the bulk of the information and facts put in front of you. Either you are willingly missing it or unable to digest and properly reason what is being said to you or what you read. Personally, I really don't care if you you think I'm scared to debate you. I really don't hold you as some sort of intellectual heavyweight and I really don't have that much respect for you; so your opinion of me doesn't really matter. Shout it on the highest mountain for all I care.” 12:52:46 PM 3/20/12 “Bawwwwwwk bawk bawk” 3:51:21 PM 3/20/12 Jump to Page << prev
