Tell me if yours is better or just different, I pay $54/month (includes dental).

You want history lessons? I’ll give you history lessons.

The good people of those countries have always spoken. The problem is people pay attention to them when is too late.

Is the people outside those countries, who could’ve made a difference, who didn’t do shit when they were supposed to. Modern day events more than support this. This is why we say the UN is worthless.

So, I give you a “close, but no cigar” rating.

#119 You’re right. That also explains why the Dems. have been taken over by lefty loons.

- however, in the interests of accuracy, you should have pointed out that the original article ended with the words”the fanatics who threaten our way of life”

The last 9 lines of your post, including the comment about the silent majority being disarmed, have been added by someone else.

How come its that same group that has all the guns?

Thank you for that. Probably your best contribution to this blog, ever.

This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Paul E. Marek.

A German’s View on Islam

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. “Very few people were true Nazis”, he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen”. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp, and the Allies destroyed my factories”.

We are told again and again by “experts” and “talking heads” that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the “silent majority”, is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.

China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were “peace loving”?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, worldwide, read this and think about it, and send it on before it’s too late.
The first thing the fanatics will do to the silent majority is to disarm them.

WE NEVER LEARN FROM OUR HISTORY!!!

Right now, there are only one or two States that have any kind of health care system in place and in every case it is bankrupting the State and in no case has it reduced cost. Given that the US is already bankrupt, what makes anyone think that a similar plan won’t bankrupt the US? I know that France for example, is dealing with massive budget issues directly related to their health care offering.

Say it until you finally get it: the US is B-R-O-K-E. No money would be an improvement. We have less than no money. A bum on the street has a higher net worth than the US. We are trillions of dollars in the red. When the total national debt including all obligations like social security is less than 10%, then, maybe, we might, possibly consider discussing some sort of universal health care coverage. Until that time, the best solution is to pass health care legislation to foster competition, improve regulation of insurance companies, encourage the States to implement some sort of plan to cover their constituents so that in the future we might have something on which to base a Federal solution and most importantly: STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON’T HAVE.

At 2:40 the bias appeared: “Aligning Key Players” in the health care arena which included “the payers.”

Any presentation wishing to Align the Payers of health care with anything but the dust bin is not worth listening to.

The first 2 minutes pretty well confirm what Freddy has been posting and the rest of the non-shill world already knows. The USA health care system sucks in full view of 37 other health care systems that are up, running, working, satisfying most of their citizens.

Only in america.

Freddy–please post back with your evaluation. I’m not going to listen to a 78mb file. Smitty advertises it as about how to save money in health care. “Traditionally” thats not what RWJF is all about and the web page that links to the audio program is not about savings==so I smell a pile of red herring.

smitty–if you have the attention span, let me deconstruct your argument and demonstrate why I scorn you. You say: “You are wrong because what you state is just not the case. Insuring more people will cost more.” ==== NOT once we get rid of the for profit system and replace it with government run healthcare. Those stats are in. USA pays 16% of GDP and leaves 45 Million uncovered. OF COURSE, if you extended THAT program to everyone the system will cost more but that is no one’s plan except the Repuglicans pushing their masters bankruptcy plan for America. The high cancer survival rates in the USA don’t factor in the number of people who die from untreated cancer because that is a “chronic condition” that you cannot get care for thru the Emergency Room–cancer is not an emergency. The Repuglican Health Care plan applies==go Home and die Quickly.

What I don’t understand is why someone smart enough to obviously avoid facts and conclusions that get in the way of a desired outcome as you do is not smart enough not to. I can assume greed as a paid shill of the Ins Co’s, but I can’t assume stupidity.

Real puzzzler.
