Punky,

There is a term in emergency care known as triage. Look it up.

Punky, just read this again. I am sure a broken finger can be extremely painful. But a gunshot or stabbing wound could well be fatal. What I am missing here?

Ahh yes. The failed attempt of the ’93 Hillarycare is warm in the incubator today. I can just see it in our future….waiting 6-8 hours in the emergency room for my daughter’s broken finger, which happens to be excrutiatingly painful. However, priorities are for the stabbings and gun shot wounds first. Ahh well.

Socialism may not be far off, if Hillary has anything to say about it.

No, not mutually exclusive. Although our society was founded upon the idea that if you safeguarded individual rights, society would be OK in the aggregate.

Thousand points of light, and all that.

Not necessarily mutually exclusive concepts though – those two.

Yep Lex! that would be a gaffe.

Here’s a beaut:

Two Quotes of Interest here:

“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”
- Nikita Kruschev, Premiere of the former Soviet Union, 3-1/2 months before his first visit to the United States.

And…

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
- Norman Thomas, for many years the U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate

Hmm… “All enemies, foreign and domestic…”

I just wonder why the “Left” can’t learn from history that socialism hasn’t/can’t/won’t ever work, it just goes against human nature.

Don’t even get me started on Universal Health Care.
