The Buzzwords Of Dennis Kucinich

From the continuing series at Slate:

Weapon of mass destruction
Example: "Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Lack of adequate education is a weapon of mass destruction. Our children not having good neighborhoods is a weapon of mass destruction" (Children's Defense Fund forum, April 9, 2003).
What it means: Big problem.
What it hides: If you had to choose between getting nuked and getting a bad education, would it be a tough call?
Subtext: Please applaud while I change the subject.
Read the rest ...

Anyone who wants a laugh should tune into Dennis’ website. All Dennis wants to do is “use America’s peace dividend for guaranteed health care for all, ending health care for profit.”

Let’s think about this for a minute: healthcare is deemed a “necessity” now, because people cannot live without it. And horrors, some people get better care than others in our country because they can AFFORD it!! Isn’t that awful?

But what about our other “necessities”? What about food, clothing and shelter? Shouldn’t we end the “for profit” nature of all these items? Shouldn’t everything be available to us in a free marketplace, comrade?

Before you answer that, tell me who will labor in the “free” medical marketplace? Doctors who just spent $400,000 on their own education? Or should the government take that task over as well? And even if the doctors work for free, who feeds, clothes and shelters the doctors? (not to mention THEIR “free” healthcare?)

Just like the laws of physics, ignorance of market laws doesn’t mean you don’t have to obey them. You can suspend the inevitable for a few years, but the system comes crashing down eventually (i.e. USSR). Even an incredibly rich country like the USA would go bankrupt under 4 years of socialist pipe dreams like this.

Nothing is “free”. Everything we obtain for ourselves and our families comes at a price. This why we work. So we can earn enough money to give our loved ones a better life.

Profoundly immature and ignorant ideas have as much right to run for the Presidency as any others, but why is Kucinich given any more gravitas than Lyndon LaRouche?

Because he’s a democrat, and we can’t very well admit in the general press that some of their elevators don’t go all the way to the top, can we?

Well, I’ve got to go work for nothing in the free marketplace again comrades, see you after the next Five Year Plan.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
