BS: Obamacare = Genocide

Subject: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 20 Mar 13 - 10:43 PM The U.N.'s Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide went into effect on Jan 12, 1951. The United States signed onto it. Article 2 of the Convention says that "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group" is genocide. Genocide Convention - Wikipedia Obamacare attempts to impose measures to prevent births within America by providing contraceptives and abortions. Hence, Obamacare is genocide. This is not to say that Obama is the only participant in this act. Obamacare may bear his name, but it is a bi-partisan action. And it was ruled "legal" when a "Bush-appointed conservative" supreme court judge cast the deciding vote in favor. So, this is both benches of the same team (Democrats and Republicans) jumping into the game to commit genocide. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:05 PM Providing contraception to those who want it and abortion on demand is advocating genecide!?? Lots of married couples practice birth control. In your estimation, they are all murderers?? UNREAL!! Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:13 PM I didn't say anything about murder. Whether contraception and abortion are murder is a different discussion. My simple point is, the Convention indicates that "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group" is classified as genocide. Obamacare imposes measures to prevent births within America. It follows that it is genocide, accordint to the U.N. Convention. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: frogprince Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:16 PM Oh, and that's by no means all of the picture. If Obama has his way, same-sex marriage will be legalized. Then most Americans will stop having sex with the opposite gender, and there will hardly be any births at all!!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:20 PM Well, most people think of genocide as slaughter. The Convention surprised me with the broadness of its definition. Preventing births within a group is genocide. Birth control and abortions prevent births, so technically those are genocidal techniques. And the U.S. is a signatory to the convention, so it seems that our leaders could be tried for genocide. Interesting. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Rapparee Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:22 PM "Imposing" means being forced to do something; it is not a matter of choice. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: frogprince Date: 20 Mar 13 - 11:27 PM Wrongsonger, if you are actually so eff'n stupid that you have no idea of the difference between "allow" and "impose"...

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 21 Mar 13 - 12:33 AM Obamacare proposes to use tax money to provide contraception and abortions. That is "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group." Taxpayers are imposed upon, forced to partipate in a process which reduces the birth rate. Genocide. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 21 Mar 13 - 12:53 AM Obamacare imposes a tax in order to reduce the birth rate. Genocide, according to the U.N. There, that's as simple as I can state it. If I had crayons maybe I could draw pictures that would get through. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Ebbie Date: 21 Mar 13 - 02:45 AM I get it: Songwronger's tactic is to state a proposition and then to take one side of it; he doesn't necessarily believe a word of it, he thinks of it as a debate. I think he is trying to get on the High School Sophomore debating team. I doubt that he'll make it. |

The country that wants to put guns in the hands of it's teachers deny free healthcare to those most in need, and attempt to stifle any move towards helping others.

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 21 Mar 13 - 06:18 AM ""My simple point is, the Convention indicates that "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group"!"" You really couldn't pass the entry test for imbecile, could you. Offering people the choice to use, or not use, contraception and termination is not imposing anything on anybody. Come back and tell us about genocide when you see troops holding guns to peoples heads and forcing them to use contraceptives, or a new law being enacted to make contraceptive use compulsory. That's what constitutes imposing measures to prevent birth, and nobody is doing that, especially not Obama. Ask your shrink to increase the meds man. Don T. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Charmion Date: 21 Mar 13 - 09:35 AM As a woman, I interpret the provision of contraception and abortion services by government-funded agencies as a measure to increase citizens' ability to build their families to the size of their choice, at the speed that is best for them. One could say that the Highway Traffic Act is a measure to forbid pedestrians and cyclists to use high-speed controlled-access highways, but that would be to mistake an isolated effect of the law for its intended purpose -- never a good idea. |

The country that wants to put guns in the hands of it's teachers deny free healthcare to those most in need, and attempt to stifle any move towards helping others." You are as ignorant as the original poster if you think "The Country" wants that. If "The Country" wants those things why is there debate about those things. Why are they elections over them? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Stringsinger Date: 21 Mar 13 - 01:28 PM Songwronger, you have misinterpreted "(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;" as having to do with contraception and termination of pregnancy as applied to sperm insemination or latent fetuses. The argument still remains as to what constitutes a "birth". Conception is not the beginning of life as propaganda by anti-Choice people suggest. What is meant by imposing measures has to do with governmental policies such as practiced in China to not allow certain births to take place and specifically to not allow a woman the right to choose whether to give birth or not. If it weren't for Obamacare, I might not be here today as it helped me finance a triple bypass operation. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Mar 13 - 02:07 PM By all means, reduce the birth rate by all means possible. Too damn many humans for the earth's capabilities. If that is genocide, so be it! |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 21 Mar 13 - 02:32 PM It isn't "the country" that wants whatever our various governments do. The people are the country. It's a little oligarchy of very rich and powerful individuals (mostly men in suits), less than 1% of the population who want what our governments do. It profits them. The people can't do bloody much about it, because that same little crowd of rich guys owns the major political parties and determines national policy no matter which party gets elected. They quibble over various details, yes. But they agree on the fundamental basics of war and finance. You get to choose version A, B, or C of their program when you go to the polls to vote (but in the USA...only A & B). Those versions all sound a bit different, but the differences are strictly cosmetic. That's why Obama sounds liberal...he looks liberal...you'd swear he WAS liberal!...but he conducts strongly conservative fiscal and foreign policy. The Republicans look conservative (and how!)...they sound conservative (if not downright fascist)...when elected they conduct strongly conservative policy. Heads, the rich win. Tails, the rest of us lose. That's the political game in the early 21st century. The parties exist just to baffle you, keep you divided, and keep you thinking you still have a viable choice when you go to vote. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 21 Mar 13 - 03:18 PM There are thousand of people, not in the oligarchy who fight for such things LH. 20-25% of the country maybe. But not the whole country. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 21 Mar 13 - 03:41 PM Trolls must be fed! If not and the trolls starve would that not also be genocide? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 21 Mar 13 - 06:40 PM I've seen no argument to refute the fact that Obamacare = genocide. The imposition of taxes to fund abortions and contraception fits the definition of genocide (see my previous posts). And I am not in favor of Obamacare. I am in favor of expanding Medicaire to cover all Americans. Obamacare is a big money conduit to private insurance companies. And Obamacare is genocide, according to the U.N. |

I can't get on board with the whole gun thing and the fact that there is no safety net to catch people who need help, but there you are. I can't get on board with having a royal family so there you go. Also, the US has the most incredible palaeontological resources and the people that work on them are fantastic workers and generous with their time and knowledge. "You are as ignorant as the original poster if you think "The Country" wants that. If "The Country" wants those things why is there debate about those things. Why are they elections over them? Wow. Are your piles playing up again and making you grouchy? You know full well what I meant. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,JTT Date: 22 Mar 13 - 09:27 AM Songwronger, if contraceptives were in the water, if abortion were forced on people who had children, then it would be genocide. Offering it as a choice to people is not genocide. Several other posters: calling someone 'stupid' etc for having a different opinion than yours isn't necessarily the best form of conversation. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 22 Mar 13 - 11:01 AM ""Several other posters: calling someone 'stupid' etc for having a different opinion than yours isn't necessarily the best form of conversation."" So, what would you have us call somebody who exhibits stupidity on a regular and consistent basis, and hasn't yet managed to make a single post with any intelligence behind it? Don T. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Stu Date: 22 Mar 13 - 12:57 PM Ah, the joys of Mudcat shit-slinging.

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Mar 13 - 02:56 PM Yes, Jack, there are many people, unfortunately duped by the media and partyline propaganda who DO support oppressive policies that fleece them and reward the governing elite. They simply aren't aware of how they're being fleeced. They're not a majority of "the country", but I'll readily agree that they represent maybe 20-25% of it. The sad thing is that they are unwittingly supporting the very forces who profit by their enslavement. This happens in most other places too. It's an old story. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Stu Date: 22 Mar 13 - 03:18 PM LH - but there is a general drift, driven by whomever, towards the mass arming of citizens and there is a fundamental distrust of any government policy that seeks to use taxpayer's money for social projects such as free healthcare. It feels as if the momentum is with the free marketeers and pro-gun lobby and it seems as if reason is fast disappearing into the ether, driven away by the sort of mean-spirited right-wingers who seed fear amongst the population in the most disgusting manner; it's why Gitmo is still open. My US friends are virtually all pro-Obama and the ones who are medical doctors crave an NHS-style health service that would improve the lives of countless Americans. This isn't a US issue either. Here in the UK the drift to the right and the idealogical battle being waged against the welfare state, the demonisation of the poor and disabled and the marginalisation of any voice not pro-austerity continues apace. In fact, the "country" is throughly miserable at the moment (apart from the toffs and millionaires) as even entrepreneurs are struggling to prise money from the banks to run their businesses. Recessions can offer opportunities for the bold but even this most sacred of right-wing ideals has gone to the wall in the rush to destroy the welfare state and take us back to the misery of the pre-war public health system, which was basically if you can't pay you're fucked. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,jeff Date: 22 Mar 13 - 03:51 PM Please, Stringsinger enlighten us as to when 'life' actually begins? Conception? 2 weeks? 3 months? 6 months? 9 months? Birth? After being weaned? 3 years after birth? 5 years? 10 years? You seem to have an inside track on this. Pray, tell us. Btw, Obamacare as scarey as it is in nowhere NEAR as scarey as Paul Ryan's ideas. He's an unapolgetic ageist and open proponent of euthanasia. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Mar 13 - 06:15 PM Dead right, Sugarfoot Jack. It's been happening in Canada too...although to a lesser extent. The basic deal is that the richest bastards in the land are padding their own pockets at every else's expense. They get richer. We get poorer. **** jeff - No one knows for sure when life actually begins...but people have a million different opinions about it. Just ask them. Their opinions are crafted to suit their political stand, generally speaking. **** Obamacare was a lacklustre betrayal of the liberal hopes of millions of people who voted for him, because it's mostly a big cash windfall for the privately owned health insurance industry. That's NOT what the people who voted for Obama had in mind when they elected him! What the Obama administration really is, is: Republican Lite. No surprise there. That's what Clinton was too. It tells me that the Oligarchy runs both those parties like puppets on strings and always gets what it wants, no matter which one gets elected. If Obama had any intention of really challenging them, he'd very soon be a dead man, in my opinion. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 22 Mar 13 - 09:12 PM The points I'm trying to address here are: 1) The UN has a very precise definition of genocide, and 2) Obamacare = genocide according to that definition. The UN convention on genocide defines it as, among other things, "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group." Well, I'm being taxed (by Obamacare) in order to provide abortions and contraceptives. A tax is an imposed measure, and the Obamacare tax is being used to prevent births within America. That is genocide, technically speaking. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Bobert Date: 22 Mar 13 - 10:13 PM Why, yes... We should go back to a time when white women of means took those little (wink, wink) vacations south of the border poor people (disproportionately black) died in back room makeshift clinics (if you could even call them that) by people who had little or no medical training... I'm sure that the wrong-man doesn't recall those days or why Roe V. Wade came about... It was about civil rights and fairness... I guess that wrongman would be happy having predominantly black women dieing like back then... Thousands every year... Seems to me that what we had back then was genocide because it targeted black women... No??? B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Mar 13 - 10:54 PM Well, Songwronger, it appears to me that the U.N. didn't think carefully enough about the wording in their definition of genocide. They forgot to word it so as to permit birth control in a nation in connection with what occurs in a tax-related program. Does this matter? Why don't you write the people at the U.N. and advise them to get the specific wording changed so that Mr Obama won't be technically violating the complex terms they have set out (by strict legal interpretation of the wording). They probably didn't think of an ordinary tax situation when they were talking about "imposed measure". All taxes, after all, are imposed by the government which passes them, but I doubt that the U.N. had that in mind in regards to a ruling on genocide! ;-) I mean, get serious...! My real question is...well, no, I have 2 real questions. ;-D 1. Why do you care about this in the first place? It's trivial. 2. And...why are all the furious posters here bothering to react in such an apoplectic manner to what you've said about it? Because...this is something that doesn't matter. Why should anyone care? It's nitpicking about legal language, not a real problem of any kind. There are definitely things to object to concerning Obamacare, serious things, but this thing you've brought up is utterly trivial and irrelevant. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Bobert Date: 22 Mar 13 - 11:08 PM Wrongman has such a hatred of Obama that there is nothing that Obama could do that wrongman would twist and spin into... ...evilness... For folks who ain't caught up in Obama hate it sho nuff looks like it this hate is racially motivated... But when anyone brings up the racial motive the racists scream back, "racist" at the accusers... They want it both ways... They want a free reign to peddle their hate but when called they say the the callers are the real haters, which is a sick and border line mentally ill joke... What if we had just allowed lynchings to continue for fear of being called racists if we stood up to stop them??? Very strange defense by these people... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 22 Mar 13 - 11:20 PM Okay. So Obamacare is genocide. We all agree on that. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Mar 13 - 11:29 PM Naw...that's just way too easy, Bobert. I very seriously doubt that racism has anything to do with Songwronger's objections to Obama. He just doesn't like Obama's policies, that's all, and he's made it plain enough times that he doesn't like the Republicans one bit either. This isn't your standard "Oh, he's not for MY party so he must be for the other one!" situation here. Nor is it your standard "Oh, he must be against Obama because he's a Black man" thing either. To just jump on that made-to-order line is exactly like the Israelis jumping to the accusation of anti-Semitism whenever someone disagrees with them about anything. It's a cheap shot. I think Songwronger is beating a completely dead horse in this thread...a pointless dead horse...but I don't think he's doing it for the reasons you suggest at all. He might be doing it just to piss you off. Or maybe he thinks it actually matters? But how could he? I think perhaps it's just become his hobby to battle with you and the others who always rise like fish to the very obvious bait he offers. He must enjoy it a good deal, seems to me. Are you guys all enjoying it too? Do you relish the sense of outrage, and the predictable return to the usual fray? I have to wonder...it looks very much like a symbiotic relationship to me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 23 Mar 13 - 12:56 AM Little Hawk, I don't know if it's racism or whatever else might be involved, but what tends to "outrage" me is the obviously hate-filled spreading of blatant lies about someone, whether they are well-known, such as a national politician, or an obscure private citizen. I don't enjoy it at all, but I feel that is one's moral responsibility to try to set the record straight. And I take a pretty dim view of people who get on someone's case when that someone else speaks out against such such lies, and attempts to set the record straight. I have recently been the target of lies and slanderous attacks from one particular individual right here on Mudcat. A few people have spoken out, standing up for me, and believe me, I really appreciate it. Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Little Hawk Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:09 AM I'm not personally attacking Bobert in any way, Don, I'm simply suggesting he might be mistaken assuming racism as a motivator on SW's part. I am suggesting that continually rising to the bait of someone who wants to fight about something is giving them exactly what they want...and succumbing to a sort of predictable, repetitous toxic emotional addiction that justs ends up wasting a lot of everyone's valuable time, makes the day a little worse for all concerned, and changes no one's mind about anything. No matter how many times you guys fight with Songwronger about Obama, and hurl insults and ridicule, he will still feel exactly as he does, and you will still feel exactly as you do, and you'll continue to grossly stereotype each other at each farthest end of the argument, imagining all kinds of horrible things about one another (many of which are probably way off the mark) and you'll all have wasted another little piece of your valuable lives having a really miserable time together and fucking each other's heads up. It's a stupid way to live a life. (As I just probably wasted a little piece of mine... even bothering to tell you.) I have no idea who's been making the slanderous attacks on you lately. I probably already avoided the specific threads on which they've been happening, since the title (or the just first lot of hostile, insult-laden posts) are usually enough to warn me off them right from the getgo. You notice how many people here NEVER appear on the political threads. Ever wonder why? This place is childish, Don, when it comes to discussing political subjects. It's a sorry shame to see adult human beings acting as they do on the political threads here and dumping their emotional poison on each other continually. Mind you, it's not as bad as the Youtube comments...but Youtube is full of teenagers and kids, and they can be excused to some extent for apparently not having developed the slightest notion of how to treat each other decently. If you want to talk about it further, PM me. This thread is just another damn toxic political waste dump, and I'm dumping it right now. If I could make it and the other political threads vanish off my screen, I would. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Lizzie Cornish Date: 23 Mar 13 - 05:00 AM 'Songwronger' - This thread is an insult to all those who ARE facing Genocide. Only YOU know why you started it, but trust me, you know NOTHING about Genocide, nor the terrible, gut-wrenching fear and trauma suffered by those who have had it visited upon them. You want to complain about those who inflict Genocide? Then write to President Dilma Rousseff about what she is bringing to the Indigenous Peoples of The Amazon Rainforest, with the Belo Monte Dam...and 60 MORE dams, probably more, also in the Rainforest... Write to Obama, by ALL means, but write to him about the Genocide which continues against Native Americans to this day! Write to Stephen Harper too Write to many of the African leaders...

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Bobert Date: 23 Mar 13 - 10:22 AM Yeah, I agree with Don... I don't see why this guy gets a pass from the "classless and free" gang here... If they spent a little more time in the real world in discussions groups they would see this pattern of racism and Obama-hatred... Like I have pointed out before: If Obama found a cure for cancer the Obama-haters would accuse him of trying to put doctors out of work..." Maybe the "classless and free" haven't lived in South and seen just how this all really works... When I read people like wrongman I hear Jim Crow with all of its evilness dripping from it... Maybe the "classless and free" haven't heard and seen what every Southerner has and continues hear... If the "classless and free" don't think that there is a significant number of people who still use the term "nigger" routinely in referring to black people then it might make them a little leery of someone who clearly is eat up with hatred...

" Yes I do know what you meant. You lazily made your point in a bigoted manner. You wrote an untruth because you couldn't be bothered to take the time to edit yourself. And though you changed tactics you did not thank me for pointing that out. :-) Please consider how you would feel if the UK was described as country of skinheads moaning and crying into their warm beer over the loss of the Empire. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Stu Date: 23 Mar 13 - 01:54 PM My word, you really are a nasty piece of work. Nothing I wrote was bigoted, it was never intended to offend and I resent that accusation deeply. If I offended it was unknowingly and without any intent to do so and I apologise sincerely. Here in the UK, "the country" is the vernacular expression often used when discussing a general mood in amongst the population. It doesn't imply, in any way, shape or form that everyone shares the same attitude or political opinion. The expression is used on the TV, the radio and by people far more erudite and informed that I will ever be and is not in any way pejorative. You misunderstood; a simple mistake. Bloody hell, what has this board become? |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Bobert Date: 23 Mar 13 - 01:58 PM With folk like songwronger, Sugarfoot, you have asked the right question... There hasn't been anyone as obnoxious since Martin Gibson left... Incredible amount of pure USDA Choice racist hate... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:07 PM Sugarfoot Jack, "Here in the UK, "the country" is the vernacular expression often used when discussing a general mood in amongst the population." Really? What percent of the population? 100%, 75%, 51%, 25%, 20%? It is my opinion that a very vocal 20% of less of the population supports those things you were railing against. I am faced with their rantings every day and with my words, deeds and money, I fight against it. Please excuse me for trying to correct you when you try to say that the battle is lost. I have tried to point out to you that there are small, vocal malcontent groups in the UK who also say nasty things. That does not meant The Country is that way. As for what this board has become, When and how did you decide it was OK to insult another person's chosen home and expect no feedback? |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:14 PM Bobert, I hear you and Songwronger's nonsense irritates me as well. But I feel obligated to defend him here. I don't think that it is fair at all to compare Songwronger to Martin Gibson. Songwronger has a point of view that, to say the least is extreme and he says a lot of things which I believe, to say the least, are nonsense. But he seems to be pushing a point of view rather than trolling as sport and I have not ever seen him resort to any of the MG staples such as personal attacks, profanity, sexual innuendo and misogyny. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:22 PM "Well, Songwronger, it appears to me that the U.N. didn't think carefully enough about the wording in their definition of genocide." No, LH, I think the people at the UN know what imposing means in this context and for the sake of trolling, Songwronger is pretending not to know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Sugarfoot Jack Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:36 PM You're still not getting it now are you? It was a turn of phrase you are unfamiliar with, nothing more. Obviously our press is not reporting the issue in a balanced manner. I have insulted no-one's home, and I've apologised if my posts have caused any offence, which apparently you can't take in good grace. As I've said before I love the US and have many good friends there, so at least I know your belligerence isn't a national character trait. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 23 Mar 13 - 02:59 PM I've heard that "turn of phrase" before.

Can I ask you not to do so again with reference to my home and consider that promise to be your apology for giving offense? If not, its OK, I'm tired of this discussion. I'll just take any offense that you offer from now on as a "turn of phrase" that is not familiar to me. Cheers! |

""imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group" is genocide" - UN definition (assuming, for once, that you are not lying about that). Imposing measures that ALLOW people freely to take steps to prevent conception, or to prevent births (or not if they don't want to) is NOT within the definition. GET A FUCKING DICTIONARY. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Richard Bridge Date: 24 Mar 13 - 06:36 AM The best idea for the US's healthcare would be a National Health Service - but we are scrapping ours.

And meanwhile, back to the topic, how about compulsory education and mental health care so that DingDong could learn how to read or think or even both? |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 24 Mar 13 - 02:09 PM Richard, I said, "......there is a substantial number of us who are, indeed, working very hard toward those ends." This IS true, and being in another country and counting on the news you are fed, you are obviously unaware of this. Be assured that there ARE, INDEED, may people petitioning, writing and phoning their political representatives, and generally working to change the status quo. Just this morning on the news, I heard that yet another state has passed a law insisting on background checks before purchasing firearms and still another state is passing laws to ban gun shows, requiring that all firearms sales be made only by a legally authorized dealer. Needless to say, the National Rifle Association (the "gun lobby") is furious. This doesn't solve the problem by any means, but it's certainly a step in the right direction, with more to come. It's easy to make judgements from afar, but one runs the risk of being wrong and talking nonsense. Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 24 Mar 13 - 03:09 PM It is a political debate and a political battle. That is why it is news. That is why events and positions are rhetorically exaggerated. I do not look out my window and see gun battles or even armed people. Trained and responsible Sheriff's deputies protect all of the schools in this area. Not untrained teachers buying weapons and ammo from the NRA's sponsors. So no I am not "waiting for the next High School massacre." You Englishmen have a right to express your opinions. But when those opinions are half baked and ill-informed, people closer to the situation are obligated to let you know. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 24 Mar 13 - 06:51 PM Obamacare is forced taxation, and the taxes go to pay for abortions and contraceptives. "Imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group" is one of the U.N.'s definitions of genocide. Obamacare is genocide against the American people. Forced taxation to prevent births. And some of you are fine with that. But I don't like genocide. In any form. If I supported this type of genocide, then I would have to support the Hitlerian kind. Or can you support soft genocide but not the hard kind? Can you be a little bit pregnant? Say no to genocide. Say no to Obamacare. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 24 Mar 13 - 09:39 PM I still see no refutation that Obamacare = Genocide. 1 - Obamacare taxation will be used to pay for birth control. 2 - So, tax = condoms, or tax = abortions. 3 - This tax is being imposed on taxpayers, therefore, abortions are being imposed on taxpayers. 4 - The U.N. says genocide is "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group." I can't make it much simpler. The original post has a link to a Wikipedia article about the Genocide Convention, by the way. Here it is again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_Convention Look at 2 d. "Imposing measures intended to prevent birth within the group." And I haven't even addressed Section 3, which deals with conspiracy, incitement and attempt to commit genocide. The mere act of canvassing for Obamacare was genocide. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Mar 13 - 09:56 PM Anonymous poster is Songwronger. Is it genocide if it's voluntary, Songwronger? The Obamacare insurance offers contraceptives. I don't believe it pays for abortions, although I suppose some people argue that some contraceptives cause "chemical" abortions. Whatever the case, the program does not require a woman to get any treatment she does not want to get. That voluntary aspect more-or-less refutes any tiny shred of sanity your contention might have had. But hey, it was insane in the first place. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 24 Mar 13 - 10:04 PM I'm willing to pay a little extra in taxes to help people avoid having unwanted children, which adds to their poverty and results in my taxes being raised even further. And unwanted children are often abused, which in itself is to be prevented. It is a bad thing in itself, but it often results in turning the youngster into a juvenile delinquent or badly disturbed adult, and that can have a deleterious effect on society as a whole.

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Larry Saidman Date: 24 Mar 13 - 11:15 PM I find it intriguing---and a bit upsetting--- that so many people are unwilling or unable to stick to the points under discussion and instead make personal attacks. To my mind, there's a big difference between saying that a person's argument is illogical, or even 'stupid' (if one wants to be blunt), and saying that the person himself is stupid. I respect the fact that as I read this thread, Little Hawk consistently kept a clear perspective on that difference. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 25 Mar 13 - 12:03 AM Obamacare imposes birth control on my national group via taxes to be used for contraceptives and chemical abortions. My national group suffers a government-sponsored reduction in birth as a result. It doesn't matter whether women choose to participate or not; the mere fact that the program is imposed on ALL in the group (through taxes) means that the group is being subjected to genocide. According to the U.N. And simple logic. I'm amazed that you people would support genocide. I know that liberals believe in population reduction and all that, but genocide? |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 25 Mar 13 - 11:07 AM wrongerman doesn't understand the basic meaning of words, kinda like tea party people, and fox news. however if americans were worried about genocide how about the almost total destruction of the native people up to and including the American support of the genocidal regime of rios mont in Guatemala. the American governments since ww 2 have supported genocide all over the hemisphere, to get cheap resources and land for American corporations. why would anybody love America? it's the land of liberty!!! the land of refuge from the genocide of the british empire and for those fleeing many other European militarists. unfortunalely the liberty people have been in opposition for a long time, but hope for this hemisphere depends on their coming back to power and ending the world wide military adventures that only benefit American corporations, and are impoverishing the people. any onterested should start reading chris hedges. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Bobert Date: 25 Mar 13 - 11:31 AM Good point, Richard... To listen to the wrongman's interpretation here one would come away with mental pictures of birth control nazis going door to door holding women down and forcing birth control pills down their throats??? But that's the way delusional people think... Especially those who are obsessed as wrongman is... And another good point, GUEST, 11:07... Obama so far has acted like a Boy Scout helping old ladies cross the street compared to the last several presidents who were mighty trigger happy... Yet wrongman couldn't care less about those people because he isn't obsessed with them... A clinical psychologist's notes on wrongman would read: "Client suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)... He also is dealing with personality disorders and should be monitored for violent behaviors resulting from deep seated anger and hostilities"... BTW, that isn't a personal attack... It is an observation based on years as a social worker dealing primarily with people with mental illness... Wrongman has shown enough behaviors here support the above diagnosis... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Larry Saidman Date: 25 Mar 13 - 01:01 PM Bobert, No ethical professional mental health worker (psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, clinical counsellor, etc.) of any kind would diagnose somebody based on a few posts on a specific topic. You have no idea of songwronger's motivation here, or whether there is any 'obsession' or 'compulsion' for him to make these posts.....or whether he's possibly even doing some kind of 'research study' on his own, or making his own diagnoses depending on how we all respond to him. We just don't know. So yes, to make, amidst your anger, some kind of 'diagnosis', in my opinion constitutes a 'personal attack'. (not that I'd ever diagnose you as a 'personal attacker'. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Larry Saidman Date: 25 Mar 13 - 01:50 PM Richard, I did read all his posts. It's not that different from attempts many of us made in introductory philosophy/logic courses to use an 'if....then' type of argument, and to see how ridiculous we could find topics to argue about using some form of 'logic' to support them. In this instance, of course, as has been pointed out, songwronger is making a supposition that anything paid through taxes means that it is 'imposed'. From a logical point of view I could talk about the difference between a measure being 'imposed' and 'supported'. But a lot of good points have been made trying to refute songwronger's logic......but they either haven't hit home to songwronger, or he's just choosing to remain provocative. I'm not particularly interested in getting hooked in to disputing this so-called logical argument, because I don't feel it's very important. Much more important is (a) How we as a group conduct ourselves when we feel frustrated.....can we respond without attacking a person's character? and (b) The genuine expression of outrage from lizzie cornish about how this thread trivializes a truly serious subject....which is genocide. I think her comment is well worth reading and re-reading. It's for that reason that I really don't want to enter into this debate. But I do want to encourage all of us to respond in a respectful and 'human' manner. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 25 Mar 13 - 02:07 PM Yeah, Larry I tried that approach first when I came to this forum 12 years ago. Keep this in mind. Some people, just like the confrontation. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 25 Mar 13 - 02:50 PM Larry, when someone stalks you from thread to thread, consistently misquotes and distorts what you've said in your posts in an effort to make you look bad, and attacks YOUR character at every turn—and you simply call him a "liar"—which he has proven himself to be—then is that an unjustified attack on his character? I deplore the fact that so many of these threads degenerate into partisan slagging matches, but that seems to be the way of the internet these days. Some people simply do not know how to behave in a civilized manner. Just be glad they're out there on the internet, not living next door to you, or, God forbid, sitting in your living room.

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST,Larry Saidman Date: 25 Mar 13 - 03:09 PM I just find, Don, that when somebody does that......and, from this thread, I actually didn't see much personal attacking from songwronger other than his 'baiting' of the so-called 'liberal' (whatever that term means to him). Some of the more bizarre comments he made really, from my point of view, didn't reflect upon anybody else's character. It was hard to take them too seriously. I'm just wondering why so often (and I include myself in this) we end up rising to the bait. The more we defend ourselves....particularly when we start thinking that 'the best defense is a good offence'.......the more we put down our own character. Songwronger, (and this is my own opinion) seems to be wanting to have some fun with us, and to 'bait' us. If we want to partake in the fun and debate back, terrific. But let's not give him more ammunition by showing that we're really not so 'liberal' after all. I think that this topic of how we respond to these arguments is so near and dear to my heart because I can recall doing exactly the same time of thing, during my university years, to my professors....particularly the ones I judged as 'pompous'. And the more they got 'worked up', the more victorious I felt. Hopefully I've matured and don't do that too often....but every once in awhile I know I'm tempted to slip back. And I invite anybody to call me on it when I do. -Larry |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 25 Mar 13 - 03:55 PM Songwronger has a history here, and it's a bit indefinite as to whether he truly believes what he posts, or if he's merely a wind-up artist. Whichever he is, he posts a lot of just plain lies. I personally feel that the blatant misinformation he posts should be countered and the record set straight.

Go find another hobby, man... This is a sick thread and your argument is pathological... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 25 Mar 13 - 07:46 PM This measure does not force people to use birth control if they do not choose to. It is a matter of their free choice, hence, in no way can a reasonable person consider it to be "imposing genocide." Another attempt by Songwronger to bad-mouth that uppity—fellow—who, by popular vote, currently occupies the White House. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 25 Mar 13 - 11:13 PM Okay. Three semi-stabs at addressing the issue. Sift out a bunch of self-loathing on the racism issue and what do we have? 1) Obamacare does not forcibly collect money. Yes it does. The supreme court ruling upholding Obamacare did so by placing it under the taxing authority of the U.S. constitution. Health insurance MUST be purchased, or you will owe a penalty...sorry, a "tax." Said tax to be collected by the internal revenue service. So, Obamacare DOES forcibly collect money. 2) Who exactly is going to force anyone to take the birth control pills??? Might of fact, who is going to force women to ask their doctors for them??? Back-alley abortion imagery may be blinding some of you to what I'm talking about. You see, the government IMPOSES the Obamacare tax on me, and then disburses the money to provode birth control. The U.N. Convention on Genocide says that "imposing measures to prevent births within the (national) group" is genocide. A tax is an imposed measure. And the Obamacare tax is used to prevent births within my national group (America). No one is forcing women to practice birth control under Obamacare; I AM THE ONE BEING IMPOSED UPON, through taxation. You don't have to be a pregnant woman to be imposed upon, merely a member of the national group. 3) This measure does not force people to use birth control if they do not choose to. It is a matter of their free choice, hence, in no way can a reasonable person consider it to be "imposing genocide." See explanation for # 2. At any rate, Obamacare is genocide. Not with bullets or coat hangers, but with balance sheets. And you have to address genocide, wherever you see it. It's true that the historical genocides mentioned are more dramatic, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't point out this one. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Richard Bridge Date: 26 Mar 13 - 04:42 AM That STILL does not come anywhere near a logical progression, ding-dong. First we don't know your "national group". Second we don't know the "national groups" of the women who might (or might not) choose to avail themselves of contraceptive measures. Third, since the women have a free choice, nothing relevant PREVENTS them getting pregnant or giving birth. The measure you appear to address, taxation, does nothing of the kind. It merely takes money out of your pocket. Not even the disbursement of the tax revenue ( a quite different thing) prevents births. You are confused, irrational, and pig-headed. |

I mean, it's easy to make (parrot) these mindless statements that the Republican Party's PR firm has put out there but let's get real here... Where is all this selling out??? Solyndra??? Nope... If you use facts, that wasn't even a sellout... Solyndra first made application for a government backed loan back in 2005... I mean, let's get real here... Pragmatism ain't selling out... Selling out is taking money and changing an existing policy in exchange... But Obama got lots of Wall Street $$$ in '08... Yes, he did... And what did Wall Street get in return??? Not much or they would have given him the big $$$ in '12... So, let me repeat the question... Just who has Obama sold out to...

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 27 Mar 13 - 12:45 AM It's pretty obvious that some of the posters here haven't bothered to read the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide, so here are the articles relevant to my argument: Article 2 - In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. Article 3 - The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d ) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide. You cannot do certain things to certain groups of people. National groups included. You cannot impose measures intended to prevent births within the group. Yet we Americans have had birth control imposed on us through the Obamacare tax. Obamacare = genocide. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 27 Mar 13 - 01:12 AM Songwronger, in your hatred for Obama, you're overlooking one rather large flaw in your--um--reasoning(?). Birth control does not prevent people from having children. And it doesn't "impose." It allows. It allows people to decide whether they want to have a child at a particular time, or not. This way, they can plan their families and have their children at the most convenient time for them. In no way does this qualify as "genecide." Go take a couple of aspirin and get a good night's sleep, there's a good fellow. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Richard Bridge Date: 27 Mar 13 - 04:57 AM Ding-dong, in the first place your purported rationale does not withstand the previous demonstrations above of its falsity. Secondly, since as far as I know all groups within the USA have equal access to what you term "Obamacare" how do you assert that it victimises any particular group. Third, you just shot yourself in the foot (probably more painful than shooting yourself in the head since obviously there are no brains in there) - no American has had birth control IMPOSED on them. Some may be offered it but even you should be able to see that that is not the same thing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 28 Mar 13 - 12:47 AM Well, that's what genocide means to YOU, Don Firth. The U.N. has a broader definition of it. And under the U.N.'s guidelines, "imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group" is genocide. The reasoning's not convoluted at all: a) "Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the (national) group" is genocide, according to the U.N. b) Obamacare taxes Americans so that birth control can be provided. c) The tax is forcibly imposed. That's genocide, and it's wrong. I haven't attacked Obama in this thread. Obamacare is being imposed with the help of both Democrats and Republicans, and with the help of all four branches of government (the complicit media being the fourth). But the fact that Obama's name is attached to the turd of Obamacare will mark him in history as a genocidalist. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 28 Mar 13 - 01:19 AM Songwronger, Obamacare does NOT IMPOSE birth control on anyone.

The tax money will be used for many necessary purposes, including birth control. Against my wishes? Possibly, but that's what happens when you vote in a government, you get the package and by majority vote you have given them the mandate to decide exactly how and on what, they spend those taxes. They don't instruct or persuade anybody either to use, or not to use those facilities they fund. If you don't see the disconnect between paying general taxes and the government doing what it was elected to do, with your mandate as a winning or losing voter, and distributing that money, then you are not as smart as you think you are.

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: beardedbruce Date: 28 Mar 13 - 09:15 AM More than two years after Obama took office vowing to banish "special interests" from his administration, nearly 200 of his biggest donors have landed plum government jobs and advisory posts, won federal contracts worth millions of dollars for their business interests or attended numerous elite White House meetings and social events, an investigation by iWatch News has found. These "bundlers" raised at least $50,000 — and sometimes more than $500,000 — in campaign donations for Obama's campaign. Many of those in the "Class of 2008" are now being asked to bundle contributions for Obama's reelection, an effort that could cost $1 billion. As a candidate, Obama spoke passionately about diminishing the clout of moneyed interests. Kicking off his presidential run on Feb. 10, 2007, he blasted "the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests," who had "turned our government into a game only they can afford to play." "We're here today to take it back," he said. But just like other presidential aspirants, Obama relied heavily on megadonors to propel his campaign across the finish line, and many fundraisers have shared in the spoils of victory. The White House insisted its appointees are eminently qualified. "In filling these posts, the administration looks for the most qualified candidates who represent Americans from all walks of life," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. "Being a donor does not get you a job in this administration, nor does it preclude you from getting one." The iWatch News investigation found: • Overall, 184 of 556, or about one-third of Obama bundlers or their spouses joined the administration in some role. But the percentages are much higher for the big-dollar bundlers. Nearly 80 percent of those who collected more than $500,000 for Obama took "key administration posts," as defined by the White House. More than half the 24 ambassador nominees who were bundlers raised $500,000. • The big bundlers had broad access to the White House for meetings with top administration officials and glitzy social events. In all, campaign bundlers and their family members account for more than 3,000 White House meetings and visits. Half of them raised $200,000 or more. • Some Obama bundlers have ties to companies that stand to gain financially from the president's policy agenda, particularly in clean energy and telecommunications, and some already have done so. Level 3 Communications, for instance, snared $13.8 million in stimulus money. Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/56993.html#ixzz2Oq8fgbF6 |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: beardedbruce Date: 28 Mar 13 - 09:20 AM Obama's Flip-Flops on Money in Politics: A Brief History by Justin Elliott ProPublica, Jan. 30, 2013, 3 p.m. When President Obama told supporters that he would morph his campaign into a new nonprofit that would accept unlimited corporate donations, the announcement set off a familiar round of griping from campaign finance reformers. The creation this month of Organizing for Action, which will promote the president's second-term agenda, appears to be the fourth reversal by Obama on major money-in-politics issues since 2008. "No big bank or corporation will donate million-dollar checks to OFA without the expectation that it will impact which issues they engage on, and that's very troubling," said Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. The Washington Post noted that in reorganizing his campaign as a tax-exempt social welfare group, the president is embracing a structure that has been criticized for allowing anonymous money into politics. Conservatives who've been attacked by the Obama camp for their reliance on such "dark money" groups called out the president's "brazen hypocrisy." Neither the White House nor Organizing for America responded to requests for comment. Here's a brief history of Obama's other shifts on money-in-politics issues going back to 2008: Public financing In November 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama pledged to take part in the presidential public financing system for the general election, calling himself "a longtime advocate for public financing of campaigns." Under the system, created in the wake of Watergate, a candidate receives taxpayer money ($84 million in 2008) and cannot accept most private donations or spend beyond the amount of the government grant. Less than a year later, in June 2008, Obama reversed himself and announced he was opting out of the system. He maintained he still supported the system in principle but said it should be reformed. Obama became the first candidate to decline general election public financing since the creation of the system and went on to raise a then-record $745 million for the cycle. He outspent John McCain, who did accept public money, by four-to-one. Obama's 2008 decision generally takes at least some of the blame from campaign finance observers for killing the system. Neither Obama nor Mitt Romney accepted public financing in the 2012 race. The Obama campaign raised $782 million for the cycle. Super PACs When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 2010 Citizens United decision, opening the way for the creation of super PACs financed with unlimited corporate or individual money, Obama became the ruling's biggest critic. "Last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests u2014 including foreign corporations u2014 to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said in his State of the Union address a few days after the decision. "I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities." That criticism turned into a pledge not to use the new funding vehicles. In July 2011, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told the Washington Post: "Neither the president nor his campaign staff or aides will fundraise for super PACs. Our campaign will continue to lead the way when it comes to transparency and reform." Seven months later, the campaign reversed itself and embraced a super PAC founded by former White House aides called Priorities USA Action. "[O]ur campaign has to face the reality of the law as it currently stands," wrote campaign manager Jim Messina in a blog post. With the blessing of the campaign, top Obama aides, such as then-Chief of Staff Jack Lew and confidantes like Rahm Emanuel, were dispatched to solicit super PAC donations from Democratic millionaires and billionaires. Priorities USA ultimately spent more than $60 million to help re-elect the president. Is THIS too conservative for you? |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 28 Mar 13 - 08:48 PM In the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." Obamacare does NONE of these things. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 28 Mar 13 - 10:17 PM TV's done most of that. Sixty-five years ago the world still had enough propensity for shame to consider it might be found out. The camps from eight years earlier were a scar on the body of nations. Now, we do the same damned thing and don't care. like a man without a home like a dog without a bone like a kid without a phone lost As a child I looked at pictures of people dumped in piles, heaps of bones, human cruelty propagated by political philosophies. Years later, when I thought we'd become better as a world, I saw the killing fields, and then yet again the Rwandans mass-murdering other Rwandans and a world doing fuck all about it. Politicians like Clinton 'letting it go'. Good people arguing a few years back that "why should a blow job be a big deal" when bigger things were at stake, and so many of us agreeing. Fact One: We, the people of this earth, are being exterminated. Fact two: We, the people of this earth are doing fuck all about it. We will die happy with no regard for our children. We're way beyond that. Obama does not equal genocide. We do, and we allow it to happen. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Jack the Sailor Date: 29 Mar 13 - 04:54 PM The middle class is in trouble no matter what the government does. It has been shrinking since the 1960's. In the 50's one working man's income could support a middle class family. The oil shocks under Nixon and Carter and the burden from Vietnam both in terms of taxation and confidence put the middle class under serious stress. Then there was competition from Japan, corporate globalization, Aging baby boomers, decline in interest in science education. Etc, etc... I think that the Democrats want to do all that is feasible in the modern world economy to protect the middle class. But global factors may lead to diminished returns at this point. The GOP plans of austerity and providing tax breaks to people who are not spending the added disposable income in this economy and who are investing it elsewhere, and also to decline to invest in infrastructure and education are insane. I give the Democrats a "D" grade say 60 out of a hundred I give the GOP less than zero, say minus 30. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 29 Mar 13 - 09:32 PM Finally, something we can all agree on. Intent to destroy. Of course, most of you will blame it on the "other party," but again, Obamacare is a construct of both major parties and all branches of the federal government. Obama and his predecessors in the oval office have shown an undeniable intent to destroy the nation. As have congress and the supreme court. Obamacare is a continuation of the intentional destruction of America by its lawmakers. That was easy. So now we have the fact that birth control has been imposed on America via the Obamacare tax, and the fact that the perpetrators of the tax have demonstrated an intent to destroy the nation. Obamacare still = Genocide. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Don Firth Date: 30 Mar 13 - 06:34 PM From a book review: The theme of John Brunner's 1969 Hugo Award winning novel, Stand on Zanzibar is overpopulation and its projected consequences. The title refers to an early twentieth-century claim that the world's population could fit onto the Isle of Wight – which has an area of 381 square kilometres (147 sq mi) – if they were all standing upright. Brunner remarked that the growing world population now required a larger island; the 3.5 billion people living in 1968 could stand together on the Isle of Man (area 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi)), while the 7 billion people who he (correctly) projected would be alive in 2010 would need to stand on Zanzibar (area 1,554 square kilometres (600 sq mi)).THIS is the world that Songwronger would impose on US!

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 06 Jun 13 - 07:05 PM From the World Socialist Website: US health reform to slash care, leave millions uninsured With the full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) less than seven months away, mounting evidence demonstrates that the health care reform signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010 will result in deep cutbacks in medical care, while raising costs for the vast majority of ordinary Americans. At the same time, millions of the uninsured who were promised health coverage will be left out in the cold altogether. While working families and the poor face an uncertain future as far as their health care is concerned, private insurance companies are gearing up for steep increases in premiums as the medical benefits provided under their policies shrink. The Obama administration's health care overhaul will also reduce reimbursements to Medicare by more than $700 billion over 10 years, forcing drastic cutbacks to medical services and treatments for millions of American seniors that rely on the government program.... ...individuals in about 90 percent of US states would likely face "significant premium increases." Based on responses from 17 insurance companies, the report estimates that individuals purchasing coverage on the individual market could face average premium increases of nearly 100 percent, with potential increases of 400 percent.... All the major players in the overhaul of the health care system—the corporations and health care industry, the Democratic Party and their supporters in the trade unions—have perpetrated what can only be called a conspiracy against the American people. They have attempted to pass off as a reform legislation that will reduce care and benefits and leave millions of people uninsured and impoverished. Any nominally progressive component of the legislation has been long-since ripped away, leaving behind a contorted patchwork of rules and regulations that serve one main purpose: to slash costs for the government and corporations and boost the profits of the privately owned health care corporations, which already rake in $200 billion a year in profits. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 10 Sep 13 - 11:59 PM Obamacare is turning America into a land of part-time jobs. People are suffering on account of it. From another forum: I just received a letter from my job stating that no one will be working more than 30 hours a week. I normally worked 48-52 hours per week generating 40 hours of regular pay, and 8-12 hours of overtime. Each hour I work averages an ADDITIONAL $11.25 in tips. This means each week I will now be losing (20)(11.25) + (10)(10.50) + (10)(16.25) dollars per week. I will now be losing an average of $492.50 per week. This is nearly $2,000 per month. Almost $24,000 a year ($23,640) I can no longer afford my own private healthcare coverage --- thanks to Obamacare. I will also have to find a second job, and DROP two classes at Stony Brook University. So now I will make less money, work more hours, and it will take longer to complete my degree. My life has been ruined by the parasites. Obamacare just ruined my life. |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: Songwronger Date: 07 Oct 13 - 06:41 PM US budget and debt talks to focus on cutting Social Security, Medicare ...Spokesmen for the Obama administration and congressional Republicans indicated Sunday they were preparing to shift the focus of the ongoing Washington budget and debt discussions to the major entitlement programs, Social Security and Medicare. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are using the partial shutdown of federal government operations and the looming October 17 deadline for raising the federal debt ceiling, to create a crisis atmosphere to justify cuts that are overwhelmingly opposed by the American people.... ...Neither party proposes even the slightest incursion into the wealth of the financial aristocracy. Both of them blame the dismal fiscal projections for the federal budget on "demographic" factors. In other words, working people are living too long, a "problem" which can only be resolved by raising the retirement age or, as a consequence of cuts in healthcare and living standards more generally, engineering a reduction in life expectancy. http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/10/07/budg-o07.html |

Subject: RE: BS: Obamacare = Genocide From: GUEST Date: 08 Oct 13 - 07:59 PM To argue with this waste of space is like playing a violin in front of an Ox.
