You are trying to confuse the issue of Universal Health Care with somebody wanting something for nothing and some such nonsense. I pointed to Limbaugh and Hannity because they spew that crap and get away with it by screening their calls. There's no screening at OKCTalk - it won't work here.
This is a post about a political position? I pointed out that liberals routinely assume (in a snearing manner) that anyone who disagrees with them get their information from a certain "disapproved" list of sources. Frankly, I don't know if I am to the right or left or sitting right on top of McCain and am not worried about it, a bit. At my age, I have my own opinions based on my own research, experience, education and value set. That there is some sort of list of disapproved information sources (based on how often I see liberals fall back on it) strikes me as sort of creepy.

I wish you'd quit swearing - it isn't necessary and certainly isn't helping your argument.

Universal health care costs money. Someone has to pay it. I've heard a lot of arguments as to why it should be adopted but your argument, that you have some sort of right to the job of your choice so the rest of us should subsidize your happiness, takes the cake. I think a lot of us MIGHT subsidize universal health care for certain reasons and under certain conditions, but the happiness level of our fellow citizens who think they should have jobs of their choice isn't doing it, for me.
