This seems to be what liberals suffer from. For those who do not understand the term it means a state where development has stopped prematurely. In layman terms it means people that do not mature, in other words it means that they never grow up. Sort of like Peter Pan. These people never get out of the childlike idyllic state.
Some folks want to classify liberalism as a mental disease. That's going a bit far, but not by much. Liberals are basically children that have never grown up. Just look at Joe "big f'ing deal" Biden. Here's a guy who isn't smart enough or grown up enough to curb his language in front of potentially the entire country. C'mon, he had to know that his intro of the One might show up on the evening news. I don't care that he swears, hell, I swear too. But this guy is a dunce for using that type of language where others outside of the inner circle can hear it. I remember when GWB said something inappropriate while engaged in conversation with Tony Blair that caused him a fair amount of grief, why not this for Biden?
The pompous Speaker of the House is nothing more than a woman-child herself. Just look at the way she has acted this last year. Throwing around unsubstantiated accusations at the CIA and her demeanor over the entire health care debate. Smarmy doesn't even begin to describe her. Children act like this, not adults.
The gloating POTUS this week has been almost unbearable. It might partly be because I think that this monstrosity of a health care reform bill passed the House, but he has seemed to be breaking his arm patting himself on the back. Plus flying around on a victory tour of sorts is a bit much.
But besides that, let's just look at what has now become the typical liberal agenda. For starters it's the want of a single payer health care system. Don't think that this isn't the first step because it is. The liberals think that health insurance is a god given right. I hate to burst your bubble, but it isn't. Health insurance is a business, no different than a furniture store, a car dealership or a hotel. In order to purchase goods or services from any of these business, you must have a certain amount of money. If I want to spend the night in a Fairmont Hotel, I better have plenty of room on the credit card, if not, I stay at the Motel 6.
Insurance companies are no different than any other business. They exist to make money, period. If they are now required to play by a new set of rules that will cost them more money than they make, well, you know what happens, they cease to exist. If I want to buy insurance, I can. If I want to try to pay the doctor on my own, I can do that to. If I just want to go to the emergency room when I'm really in pain, I can do that. Then I work out payments with the doctor or hospital. Until Tuesday there was no law requiring me to have insurance.
As far as I know, if a hospital is accepting either Medicare or Medicaid payments from the government then they cannot turn people away that need life saving care. If a person wants more than that then they need to make arrangements to pay for services rendered. I know that sounds cold, but if people had been taking care of their obligations all along then medical costs would not have risen to today's current levels. If someone doesn't pay for the services they receive then the rest of us make up the difference. It's simple economics, but it seems that this is one course not taught at Ivy League schools.
The thought that the government will take care of us from the "womb to the tomb" is great for the lazy ones, but it does nothing for those of us that are willing to take care of ourselves. I for one have suffered for the poor choices that I have made in my life. I have since learned not to make those same choices and my life has improved significantly. So don't tell me it can't be done, that's BS pure and simple.
In the interest of brevity I will stop here for now.
But don't worry, I haven't said the last on this subject yet.
