Comment on Christian beliefs lead me to oppose health reform bill by James Collins

Mr. Azuma,
have you ever considered that you may be the ignoramus as that is the only way anybody could support this health care bill, christian or not. Your comment lacks substance and is a complete waste of time to read.

Comment on Obvious to medical student that US needs real health reform by Anne

It is great to hear such a strong, clear voice in favor of health reform coming from someone who is in the trenches of the health care system every day. We need a health care system that works for doctors – like the future Dr. Romm – and patients, not insurance companies. I hope that President Obama, and the countless Senators and Representatives elected on their promise for real health reform, hear this call and step up to the plate!

I like the idea of students having freedom of expression as many of the most provocative ideas come from those in the midst of their educations. But Will, my friend you need to stick your head out the window a little more for a hearty dose of reality because the world you live in…its not real. Your entire post reads as ignorant as a death panel rant. I pray to god that your professors read your post and get their asses in gear clearing away the fog so that you might come to better and more mindfully serve your lord and the values that are embodied by christianity.

Comment on Conservatives cast aside ideology, whine about Obama cutting big government by Chris Burks

Thanks for the comment. I’m sure this runs counter to your ideology, but, in this case, the government is clearly better at managing money than a private entity.

Whether it is because of generally poor loan management, or wasteful spending on executives, or losses in other businesses that caused alterations to these policies, the banks are inefficient.

As for a monopoly, yes, you are exactly right. I could try to argue with you that you should expand your notion of the marketplace and that this is a rational policy in line with economic thought, but, instead, I agree that this monopoly will improve things.

Yeah, a monopoly of a government run loans is certainly going to improve things. After all, the government is good at managing money.

Comment on U. Maryland students show up for Obama — not health care reform by Blair Wallace

He is including you in the process because he knows you haven’t experienced enough of life to understand the damage that he is doing to your future. It is a sad state of affairs when college students, who are suppose to be intelligent, stand in line to shake the hand of a man who has all of the earmarks of a socialist/marxist/fascist. Realize he can’t be all of them at the same time but the key point is that he is not a supporter of the financial system that allowed us to become the leading economic engine in the World. This guy will destroy it, in my opinion

The Government Accountability Office says that the only loophole is one that won’t block illegal immigrants from buying health insurance on the national exchanges that most current reform bills would establish. Each bill bars illegal immigrants from receiving public funding for getting health insurance.

My point isn’t that Wilson or Obama are lying; it’s that this is complicated. Shouting “You lie!” on the floor of Congress is about as mature as most Code Pink marches, and about as substantive as a Michael Moore flick. It’s one thing to suggest that the President is lying in a crappy documentary, or even on cable news. It’s something entirely different to interrupt a major policy speech by the President in Congress.

Protocol matters, and manners count for something. Wilson is not the type of voice that is going to get the GOP back into the good graces of the Northeast, Midwest, Big West, and Upper South. He’s the kind of speaker who looks like he’s throwing a temper tantrum. Save it for the protests, Mr. Representative – intemperate anger doesn’t belong in formal political debate.
