Comments on: The State of the “Union”? https://mikesouth.com/politics/the-state-of-the-union-2961/ The institute for the advance study of insensitivity and pornography Sat, 03 Oct 2009 14:52:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: D348 https://mikesouth.com/politics/the-state-of-the-union-2961/#comment-2131 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 14:52:21 +0000 http://www.mikesouth.com/politics/the-state-of-the-union-2961/#comment-2131 Lindsey says she’s not a Democrat or a Republican but all her statements sound like they came straight from Fox News.

Does she really have a problem with citizens criticizing insurance companies who drop coverage from people unjustly?

And is Lindsey defending insurance companies who profit at the expense of ordinary Americans?

And actors make their money based on public interest if the public didn’t go to their movies they wouldn’t make any money. Furthermore they don’t have the ability to affect people’s health the way insurance companies do. So one group is obviously worth being more concerned about than the other.

And as for the facebook poll on Obama, there’s been, according to statistics, a 400% increase in threats against him compared to his predecessor so of course their going to investigate any and all threats against him.

They do that for any president, but they have to be particularly vigilant for this president.

And Freedom of speech does not extend to making threats.

It never has.

And about illegal immigrants, in the current health care legislation under consideration they aren’t allowed to receive health insurance, that was true before Joe Wilson’s rude and unprecedented outburst and it’s true afterwards.

So that’s not an issue.

Furthermore, Lindsey as for your worrying about the government coming after the industry, that’s not likely to be a great concern for many reasons, for one they have bigger issues to deal with like the economy and health care, and also because the Deputy Attorney General is David Ogden who has previously represented PB and PH.

And generally speaking Democratic administrations tend to be less aggressive in going after the industry.

The people no longer have any representation. True we get to vote but once they are in Washington we no longer matter to them.

Revolution may be the only way to change it. But I would doubt that would ever happen. Too many in the country are sheep. They would rather have a mommy government telling them what to do as opposed to living (and being responsible for) their own lives.

“It must have been about seven weeks after 9/11, I was coming out of my apartment, and on my stoop is a homeless man. And, uh. This guy lived in the neighborhood, I hadn’t seem him in a while. He was sitting on my stoop. And he was jerking off. On my stoop. And I walk out, and he turns, and he sees me…and he just goes back to jerking off on my stoop! And it was at that moment that I thought…we’re gonna be okay.” -j.s.

From tort reform, to insurance companies, to government regulations ( why can’t I, a resident of Georgia buy a policy offered to residents of Alabama or New York for instance)

The real problem is that the people no longer have representation, we dont have any lobbyists, nobody is protecting our interests and our rights. The so called patriot act is an abomination and in a just country Little Boots would have been tried for treason and possibly executed for signing it into law. I can think of nothing that is more of an affront to our constitution.

Except maybe RICO laws

The only thing that is going to save this country from some real civil unrest and possibly civil war is Libertarianism, but I cant be optimistic about that.

Being in another part of the world has illustrated to me how abysmal our news really is, be it Fox, CNN, or the big 3.

If you want to see real objective reporting and what at least one news station should look like you have to go to Aljazeera for Goads sake…how fucking sad is THAT?

Dont believe me? watch it

http://www.aljazeera.com/english

going from therre to FOX (my other choice here) Is like going from a University class to a sandbox name calling contest

I dont want a news channel to be utraged about anything, I want them to simply report the mother fucking news and I will decide what outrages me. I dont need some ass kissing moron piece of shit like Sean Hannity to tell me what I think.

damn shame

Oh and Polanski deserves what he hopefully will get, he didnt just rape that girl he ANALLY raped her.

As if someone that young would fully understand all the implications of having sex with a 44 year old man. She also said he’s “brilliant” as if his level of creativity somehow makes the crime acceptable. Debra is an idiot.

Live and learn.
