I agree with all of this, especially that last part, and don't have much to add. Are mine eyes decieving me? A randroid that supports government-provided health insurance anything? The RR thread on this is particularly amusing--they'll decry government provided health care as evil incarnate and a terrible idea, but then attack Obama for trying to take it away from veterans. Do these people even think before forming an opinion on a subject? |

A 'Randroid', as you so ignorantly put it, and most Republicans for that matter would certainly support it and describe it differently than 'nationalized health care'. It's a matter of earning it and a veteran would have done that.
As much as Republicans tend to lack thought, that's actually one subject that they usually understand. They like to talk about that because it's the only sensible leg they have to stand on. It doesn't jive with the religious ideals they blindly carry on their shoulders, which should tell them something.

It's a matter of earning it and a veteran would have done that. I seriously doubt that Radroids would even support the maintenance of a national army, let alone a national army that gets (supposedly inferior) public health insurance. They'd say that they should negotiate a bigger cheque, and use that to pay for (crappy, expensive) private health care. At the very least. This is presuming that they support the existence of a tax-gathering institution like a government at all. What are you anti-life? You can't be for both health care and life: 1 is 1, after all. |

Fred, before you talk more trash about what you think "randroids" believe in, you still need to explain yourself in the John Galt thread. Otherwise, I'm going to bust your ass on it every time you mention the word "Rand".   If you read current Objectivist stuff (which I wouldn't really recommend anyway except to make sure you know what you're talking about), you'd see they're pretty gung ho on supporting military. As far as other Repubs, conservatives, etc. go, I've seen a few individuals make some pretty interesting arguments about the kind of public health care they'd be in favor of supporting. So it's too broad a brush to say they would be opposed to some type of public health care. |
