Greatest Healthcare in the World Needs Charity Assistance

Remember ever hearing about RAM (Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps? It is an amazing charity that Stan Brock started (Wild Kingdom fame) that gives free health care services to all sorts of remote areas that lack these basic systems. You know, those poor, ignorant, backwards people in the jungle and shanty towns in Mexico or wherever? You know, just like those same poor, ignorant, backwards people in Knoxville, TN??!!??

As Logan Murphy at C&L points out:

Brock has no family, takes no salary and has no home. He is completely dedicated to RAM, as are the doctors and nurses who volunteer their time and expertise. The local response to this RAM clinic in Knoxville was amazing, yet profoundly saddening. Hundreds of people showed up for the clinic, many drove hours to get there and waited up to seven hours just to get a spot in line to be seen — and ultimately, hundreds had to be turned away. These were not Cadillac driving welfare queens, they were average, working Americans who are under insured or have no insurance at all. The most disheartening part of it all is to see how many of these people had avoided seeking medical treatment for years because they couldn’t afford it and are now reduced to begging for help. It’s a microcosm of our medical system and it’s a damn ugly sight in the world’s wealthiest nation.

Rednecks, we are talking about Knoxville, TN, here. This ain’t some little jungle people in the Amazon that you can’t relate to, but people just like your next door neighbor. HELLO?

This is the “richest country on the face of the earth”, yet we have people who NEED this type of help, because of our healthcare system is so inadequate and nothing but a system of corruption and PROFIT. We are shitting Billions down the Iraqi hole weekly, trying to improve their healthcare (amoung other unattainable horseshit), yet ours is failing and is pitiful to everyone EXCEPT those that can afford it (and even that number is winnowing down quickly… I know, I am one).

What does it take to wake up to what these fools in our government are doing to us, rednecks? Haven’t you seen enough to realize that the republicanreTHUGlican party is a corrupt whore intent on idiotic ideologies that are proven failures at anything EXCEPT making the rich richer? But do you realize that the Dem Party is little better?

Just barely.

McFlipFlop Does It Again

The Wall Street Journal records yet another flip-flop the esteemed ReTHUGlican asskisser blathered out of his untrustworthy, double-faced meal hole.

Q: On ABC’s “This Week” on Feb. 17, in response to a question, “Are you a ‘read my lips’ candidate, no new taxes?” you replied, “No new taxes.” Did you mean that literally?

A: I’m not making a “read my lips” statement in that I will not raise taxes. But I’m not saying I can envision a scenario where I would, OK? But I’m not making it a centerpiece in my campaign.

I want lower taxes. I want the family to keep more of their money.

Of course he didn’t mean it “literally”. He means NOTHING literally. Everything is open to flopping upon his whim and the gullibility of the idiot right-wing.
