Though it went right over your head, yes, it is the same thingThe fact that you go through life with blinders on puzzles meYes Ray, there is a LOT of bullshit. Your logic is completely out of whack for a start.
Yes, Republicans don't like things that Democrats do, and Democrats don't like things that Republicans do, and somehow this is Republicans loving their country, because as always, the right decide that THEIR POLICIES are PATRIOTIC and Democrat policies are treason, or something like that. It's always been like that, go look at the right in Turkey or Israel or wherever.
I understand what this is trying to do, it's trying to force people to accept your view out of fear of being branded whatever you want to brand them as. In the 1950s-1990s it was Communists, now it could be a Muslim love, a Communist, a traitor, whatever, it's name calling at it's worst, bullying at it's worst and shows you don't have a decent argument to go by.
I'm not a Socialist Ray. I hate Socialism and Communism. But I also hate blatantly obvious bullshit and people who will say ANYTHING to get what they want, no matter how contradictory it is to the last thing they just said, and this is EXACTLY what you're doing.
Then I have no idea what you're reading when you read my posts. My point was that Republicans never try to compare other countries to ours because we believe we have the greatest country in the world. Liberals do not; always telling us how great it is in other places.
The fact that liberals want to change just about everything in America makes me wonder if you people even like this country--not because Democrat policies are treason, but because you are always telling us how wrong our country is compared to others because their systems are so superior to ours.
Bottom line is it seems we Republicans love our country while you on the left love other countries.
I guess I'll never understand some people. Kind of reminds me of what our state is doing now which is putting up sound barriers on the highways to make it a tad bit quieter for the homes that border the highway. To a liberal, this is logical. To a conservative, WTF did you buy a house next to the Fn highway for??? Now we are wasting tens of millions of dollars because you clowns bought cheaper homes by the highway, and then complained to your representatives about the noise!
So to me, it makes no sense when liberals complain we are not like other countries instead of packing your bags and going to these other countries. If it's so great there with their socialized medical care, their gun laws, their taxation, their election system, their education system, move and live in your utopia. But no. Instead, stay here and complain.
Why wouldn't you want to look at practices used by other countries? If France comes up with a life saving medical procedure.......should we ignore it because it would be admitting we are not the best at everything?
Such a bogus comparison. I'm talking about societal and government structures and you're talking about a medical procedure. That's about as ridiculous as saying if Italy came out with a new pasta dish, we shouldn't serve it here.
Adopting something someone else is doing is not an admission of your own ineptness. It is what our brightest innovators do every day
Went over my head? It seems that's what happened to my comment. So let me put it another way:
Using a medical procedure created in another country will not duplicate a government or social system. It won't change a thing in our society outside of those who receive the treatment. It won't take over one-sixth of our economy either.
You think we invented healthcare? You think we are not already using insurance practices implemented around the world?
Our founding fathers used political ideas that were developed in France, England, the Greeks, the Romans
Borrowing from other countries built this country
