I'm always delighted and surprised in equal measure when contemporary "liberals" lose their bearings and stray into the ideological terrain that's always belonged to classical liberals. I suspect that the folks at the Nation will soon realize they've lost all of their bearings and signposts and flee back to the familiar territory of illiberal statism when it suits them. Nice "liberalism" you got there that upholds the denial of First Amendment rights for most people during the majority of their waking hours (while at work). Add to that the "right" of property owners to censor speech while on their property and you've effectively restricted speech to people's cars and homes. Funny kind of freedom...

You're confusing the way that people live vs how well effective their doctors and hospitals are. Life expectancy variation in developed countries has much more to do with lifestyle choices, social forces, and accidents than it does clinical efficacy. Would the 47 million Americans without health insurance be a social force or an accident?

Trig's patty-cake song...

Jesus Christ, who needs a tin-foil hat again?

Cut the Big Brother-dystopian-death panel-nightmare scenario horseshit. That other countries with state-run health care systems are delivering better care for less cost to larger percentages of their populations without falling into a New Dark Age of goblins, orcs, and evil wizards is a fact. Get over it. It's done.

Is Juan Williams a Journalist now? No, which is why he was fired from a news organization and given a new contract by Fox.

They can also always jump on the cattle cars of cheap migrant construction workers flocking to work on the Halliburton Highways once we get rid of those pesky "inefficiencies" that are holding back the good ol' American gogetum of the private sector.

Whoopi Goldberg? Is she a journalist too now?

Fuck! I'm going to have to rethink my whole position on this. What's Bristol Palin say?

Holy shit! The whole "potential rationing by the government while ignoring the fact that private insurers do the exact same thing only more brutally" thing is back!

wrong, wrong, wrong.... but it's cheaper in CA Yeah, and there are liquor stores on every fucking corner too! And they sell Faygo!

Yay, more robots + same (or growing) population = more juggalos!

You see where all that's gotten us, so uh...yay?

NPR still has a modicum of a reputation for journalistic integrity to uphold. Fox holds such notions in contempt.

Works for people complaining about their working conditions too!

The pure fucking voice of reason.

Wrong. This is historically conditioned behavior. Check it:

"Harlem at night" is not an airplane.

Rolling Stone Magazine?! You might as well be quoting from Mao's Little Red Book! ...Or Mein Kampf!

Really? How 'bout this one: "When black people stand behind me at the grocery store, I get nervous. Because the crime rate among the black population is higher."? Same deal.

I think you forgot the option "none of these fucks should have jobs in the first place". "Fox News Pundit Fired!"? Are you kidding? These people should be beaten within an inch of their lives.

Juan Williams and his idiotic notions are proof of just how low journalistic standards have gone. The "punditry" and the rest of the politicoinfotainment complex, left and right, can go fuck itself. Parasites one and all.

Those dumbfucks all drink PBR anyway...
