Regarding the U.S. being ranked 150th in life expectancy.
I do not have time to go through all of your figures. But I did pull this one up.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/12/AR2007081200113.html

This was from 8/2007.
It states we are ranked 42nd in life expectancy.
Just try to imagine my shock, when I discovered a liberal democrat commie socialist made a statement that proved to be inaccurate.

I have to agree with Limbaugh, I hope BHO and all who follow him fail and leave this country. He is a parasite on our country as well as those who voted for him are parasites. There is not one thing about the liberal parasites that is worthy of compromising and I would feel no saddness what so ever if all died tomorrow.

You and Limbaugh should run in the next election. Your statements would be funnier than Palin's.

Part of the problem with our life expectancy is minorities. Blacks live an average of 10 years less than whites. Hispanic is probably lower. Also it is self inflicted, obesity causes type II diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. Smoking, alcoholism, drug use, and Aids. All of this is self inflicted and causes problems. Hasn't got anything to do with health care. Even with free medicine, if you eat too much, smoke, drink too much, use drugs, or indulge in promiscuous sex, it will come back to bite you. We have a higher minority rate than European countries or Japan. Take out our minorities and we would be up higher. Even a free doctor can't make you stop doing what you are doing. Our health care and insurance rates would be much lower and affordable if people would live right and moderate their indulgences. There are also some people in America who wouldn't be happy no matter what you did. Europe pays high taxes. Gasoline is very high, electricity and natural gas is higher than ours. If we had a flat tax it would be more fair to all. Again, we could solve a lot of problems by having a higher import tarriff and lower tax rates on corporations and individuals.

Also, I am so tired of people thinking the Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats the poor. First off, this comes out of the Depression, and even that isn't all accurate. Reagan Republicans were conservative, Christians, fiscal conservatives, and pro lifers and average mostly middle class people. There are two classes of rich today, which I call new money and old money. Old money was the oil, coal, gas, chemical, nuclear, an military industrial industries who supported Republicans. New money supports Democrats, software companies, computer companies, pharmaceuticals, entertainment media, journalists, newspapers, and television executives. The George Soros's, and Ted Turners of the world, and companies who are "green". Obama raised far more money than anyone else. A lot of his money came from overseas using front names and companies, and rich liberal elitist individuals. Most Republican and independent money came from individual mom and pops. Most mom and pop companies and middle class individuals have in the last 20-30 years supported Republicans. Most poor, and far left, wealthy elitist liberals suppored Democrats. The Republicans in the last few elections have abandoned their base and became like democrats, which is why they lost. I don't drink the Democrats cool-aid about the Republicans being for the rich when most of their money came from multi-national corperations. Republicans have been mostly for the middle class, especially since Reagan. What do you think of Eisenhower, Reagan, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt. Give me a break.

If you are saying Palin said funny things. Obama thinks there are 57 states, yeah 57 muslim states. Biden puts his foot in his mouth all the time, but noone in the Media cares. I like Palin over McCain. She is a Christian who actually lives her beliefs, is a fiscal conservative, pro-life, and pro-American woman. I have been voting since 1972 and have never voted for a Democrat for president. I sometimes voted for the lesser of two evils, but I think Reagan was the greatest president in my lifetime, and that includes Eisenhower. Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite president, along with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

OK, this is the Presidential Oath of Office:

" I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

It does not say anything about emulating socialism in Western Europe.

WOW!!! I don't know where to start! First off I went to a public school and got a great education because I wanted to learn and be something in this world. Public or private, anyone can learn...IF they want to. 2nd, it's pretty ironic that Obama is supposed to be fixing the problem that he himself helped create as a member of ACORN. An organization that basically forced banks to loan to minorities that couldn't afford the loans. If I can't afford a new Lexus should the dealership be forced to give me a loan on it?

If you can't afford the mortgage, continue to rent until you can. Get your butt out there and work hard for it rather than waiting around for someone to hand everything to you on a silver platter. During the depression, the most difficult time in US history, it was a SHAME to have to go to the handout lines. People worked 2 and 3 jobs, whatever they could find so they didn't have to take handouts. That's what made this country great! Then come the democrats and there social welfare programs. Now we have people that would rather sit around and have babies so they can collect a bigger check each month. The majority of our problems come down to 2 things. The absence of pride and the existence of greed!

mirage1988 · « **Reply #71 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:44:36 PM »

No- The absence of pride and the existence of handouts. If if was embarassing to take a handout- only those that need a handout would take one. African-Americans are the proudest people in the world- think i'm wrong- go down to brooklyn blvd. and tell one to get a job. If you survive the gunshot he'll walk because you dissed him.

US is about 40th in life expectancy. Hong Kong is about #10 and there's a year's difference between US and Hong Kong life expectancy. Japan is #4 and there's a year and a half difference between US and Japan. Ratings vary depending on who is doing the counting. CIA, for example, includes small populations like Guernsy, Malta, and St Pierre. Cuban infant mortality is statistically identical to US infant mortality, at about 6 per thousand; compare that to say Angola with nearly 200 per thousand. Happiness is a good measure of satisfaction with one's lifestyle.

There is no reason to believe a liberal scum on anything they say. They have no morals what so ever lying is just another form of the "truth" in their abstract warped minds.

Liberal scum rate right down at the bottom of the world with muslims.

Yup put me down for hoping obama fails miserably as I think that EVERYTHING he stands for and hopes to make happen go counter to EVERYTHING I stand for and hope happens. I doubt I see eye to eye with him on anything and hope nothing he tries works.

EXACTLY!! First, one must define what standards the "failing" or succeeding actions of Obama will be attributed to. I promise that he will indeed fail to make this country economically stronger, or stronger in any way that is good for the country. But he will succeed greatly in advancing the agenda of the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg associations, among others.

I have to agree with you on this one Myronman......I would hope he turned out to be a great president, but I know he won't.

You can't make it to the top without being bought and paid for .
That is the way the system works.

Yep, Limbaugh rails, contorts and whines about socialism in the US. But he never says a darn thing about
giving the US economy over to the Chinese communists. Limbaugh is not smart enough to see that we are subsidizing the destruction of our society at the hands of the Chinese Red army: Neither are most of his listeners.

Dixie Dude · « **Reply #82 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:01:32 AM »

I don't agree with everything he says, BUT he does promote free enterprise, entropeneurship, less big government, less taxes, and less intrusion by government. I think we should protect our industry, but not through socialism, but by tarriffs on certain imports and low taxes for home owned industry. We could also put a lot of people to work in the energy sector by promoting solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, nuclear, more drilling, and clean coal technologies. All of it to keep everyone satisfied, and not just certain sectors. This could be through tax cuts and credits for domestically produced energy and tarriffs on imported oil. Government must also allow drilling and digging on government land and offshore and get out of the way. Government doesn't have to own the industry to regulate it. Just have reasonable regulations and don't tell them how to go about doing it like with the auto industry, let the industry decide.

Republicans like to say they are for smaller government but their actions speak louder than words. Reagan grew the size of government, Clinton shrank the size of Government, and then Bush grew it back again. As far as protecting our industry and putting people to work in the energy sector, Obama agrees with you whole heartedly. I would almost say you were quoting from one of his speaches. Rush is for deregulating everything which like you stated earlier, caused all this mess.

Does the fact that Obama wants to tax businesses and people that make more money to give it to the people that do not make money even make any since to you?(Joe the plumber) Not my words or Rush Limbaughs but Obama's from his campaign speeches. That is not how this country became the industrial power that it used to be! Wake up and smell the coffee. The entrpreneurs and and the people that invest in business deserve to make the money they make because they took risk to earn it. If you dont like your job or the business owner where you work start your own or get a job you respect! If the people that have money get it taken away there wont be new jobs or economic recovery! If you want hand outs from the government, national health insurance and big unions then you have the man in office that will get them for you. Are you gonna be willing to pay the price in the long run! Our children will never see the opportunity that we have had if this country goes to socialism. And that is precisely what he is talking about ! Call it what you will it is socialist to make the haves pay for the have nots. It is not what this country was founded on Period! Remember free enterprise and the pursuit of happiness. not promised handouts!

And how in the hell can anyone on a firearms forum support someone who wants to limit your owner ship of firearms and possibly take the ones you own away! Ask the man yourself dont listen to me! I assume you're here because you support the second amendment right?

jlchucker · « **Reply #85 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:55:08 AM »

You can all say what you want about Rush. Like him or not, people listen to him. He's an American citizen and has a right to say whatever in hell he wants. Just as much as any liberal socialist pig who carries around protest signs and writes internet whines on newspaper blogs, bashing everything they don't agree with. Rush's first amendment rights are not subject to any liberal whiner, nor are they subject to the liberal-in-chief's. Obama has no more right to censor Rush or anyone else, any more than the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Johnny C, TD7, or Fazak do. What's this country coming to, anyway?

Obamas energy policy is NOT complete. He does not want to promote clean coal or synthetic gasoline from coal. He does not want to build new nuclear power plants. He only wants wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal, maybe ethenol. Ethenol is not a good solution, puts too much farmland into production of energy instead of food, wetlands and forests. We must built at least 50 new nuclear power plants in the next 50 years to handle a growing economy and to recharge potential electric and hybrid vehicles. T. Boone Pickens has the best solution that can be implemented now. Obama is in favor of abortion which kills unborn humans. He is in favor of gun control, which we are not. He wants us all to drive little cars and little trucks, and use little boats for recreation. I am not a die hard republican, but more of a libertarian. I vote republican to keep liberal democrats out. We already bailed out banks at the tune of $700 billion, now Obama wants to spend $1 trillion. The budget was already shot from the two wars. China owns most of the treasury bills. So we have to buy their goods to pay that back. We are in for HIGH INFLATION, and HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT in the next few years. Too many new taxes on the rich and they will sell out and go overseas somewhere, then who pays, what is left of the middle class. The POOR was the primary cause of this recession because they were given homes and credit they couldn't pay for.

Dixie Dude · « **Reply #89 on:** January 27, 2009, 09:31:52 AM »

Reagan had a democrat congress led by Tip O'neal if you remember. Clinton had a republican congress led by Newt Gingrich. Congress approves all spending. Now Obama has a congress led by Pelosi. Give me a break. O'bama might be good, if he can learn to compromise with republicans and if republicans take over in 2010 like they did under Bill Clinton.
