Celee -- No offense, but you sound exactly like my uncle. It is painfully obvious to me that you are just repeating all the same talking points fed to you by Tucker Carlson, etc. I know this, because your diatribes are the exactly the same as his (my uncle's) almost word for word. Had you been actually reading widely and coming up with your own ideas, there would be some divergence of thought. But there isn't. I have nothing against you personally--I don't even know you and you'd probably be a good and honest neighbor--but you are toeing a warped party line that has been fed to you, and that's a scary thing.
In regard to Swalwell, your insinuations are entirely ridiculous and unfair. Yours is the narrative of Fox News. This Chinese operative targeted Swalwell and other up-and-coming politicians. I think he may have gone on a couple of dinner dates with her. The thing is, he didn't know she was a spy. He was the 'mark.' You seriously don't think that detail is relevant? When he found out she was suspected of being a spy, he dropped her like a ton of bricks and fully cooperated with the F.B.I. and revealed everything he knew. There was no wrongdoing and no evidence he ever told her anything worthwhile.
This is the polar opposite of Paul Manafort knowingly working with the Ruskies and illegally giving them polling data, etc. -All of which was PROVEN by a bi-partisan Senate Committee. The two cases are not even in the same political universe, despite what you've been fed.
The thing is, you're being played, old boy, but you won't ever believe me, just as my uncle will never believe me. He's a good guy in many ways, but he's just regurgitating, without even any attempt at skepticism, all the fake news being fed to him by Rupert Murdoch & Company. They are Libertarians out go gain as much power and wealth as they can gain, society and government be damned. What I would calmly say to you is that you are blaming the wrong people for the country's woes, but--again--you won't believe me.
Good luck, but I've said all I care to say. You're going to have to work it out for yourself.

[QUOTE=celee;n778508][QUOTE=Ally;n778504]
Ally this is the last time I am corresponding with you. I worry about your mental health. The parents do have rights. I know liberals hate that but that is the way it goes. Obviously, a Doctor in ITALY was willing to treat the baby.
That's not medically necessary that's just barbaric.
The parents who probably are Christians, I know liberals hate that, wanted to give their child every chance to live maybe they even prayed to God, I bet your head is about to explode.
There is a big difference between wanting to fight for the life of your child and abusing the child.
Oh and to be clear, I don't blame the parents for being insane, it's idiots like you who back them in their insanity and use their unhinged grief and use it as a political weapon who I have an issue with. They have an excuse for being stupid. They're insane with grief. You don't.

No and no. Who cares if his parents were willing to take him to ITALY, see you don't even know what the hell you're talking about. If parents are willing to take their kids to the middle of the desert to participate in a ritual that's going to kill them does that mean they have the right? No, it doesn't. Parents don't have the final say, just because they birthed the damn kid. When the parents are delusional dumbasses, who don't know what the hell they are talking about their opinions should absolutely NOT override medical wishes. Like the imbeciles who want to feed their kids diets that make them malnourished, should they have the final say? NO. Just because they are parents, doesn't mean they get to do whatever the hell they want with their kid. The kid has rights to, and the right not to be tortured just because they have idiots for parents is one of those rights.
The right to protect children from idiots like you who apparently think parents have the right to abuse their children because they are parents.

I agree with everything Ally said in post #73 but I just wanted to point out, in case anyone misunderstands, the first part that’s been attributed to me was actually a quote from celee. I know that Ally knows this but I just thought I’d point it out in case anyone else thought it confusing. It’s just a typing error.

What right does the government have to step in?

Gen. Washington made the controversial decision to order the mass inoculation of his soldiers, an effort to combat spread of the disease that was at the time a major deterrent to enlistments and posed the risk of debilitating his army.

[QUOTE=Herlock Sholmes;n778492]
And that was a decision made by doctors for medical reasons. Are any of us qualified to comment on medical issues? I’m certainly not. The doctors felt that the baby couldn’t be cured based on medical knowledge.
Do not you feel the parents should have the final say on if their child would be treated or not? Alfie had parents that were willing to take him to France. What right does the government have to step in? Honestly, America cried for Alfie. The government should never be allowed to tell a parent that they can't provide the medical care they feel their child deserves. It is outrageous. like I posted before socializing medicine, in theory, is good. Everyone deserves health care but it is a slippery slope. I read that in Finland Doctors have the right to euthanize covid patience without family consent. I think that is disgusting. President Reagan has a famous quote. "The scariest words are “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.” So true.Last edited by celee; 01-15-2022, 04:57 PM.

Originally posted by celee View PostPeople are just not honest on this board. They desperately try to defend their arguments with stupid rhetoric. Ally go back and read your post and then read mine again. You contradict yourself. You make outlandish assumptions to support your arguments. It is not interesting anymore. boring Bye.
Herlock and Al I seem to remember a heartbreaking story in England where the courts took away the rights of a couple to seek treatment for their baby. The couple wanted to take their son to France for some type of treatment that the Doctors in England refused to give because they felt the baby was terminal and it would not be in the child's best interest. I think the baby died in the mother's arms. The child's name was Alfie.
Speaking as an Englishman though I can tell you that across the board including those on the left and those on the right you will be hard pressed to find anyone over here that doesn’t consider the National Health Service one of our finest achievements and it was achieved by a Socialist government. Like all countries we have things to be proud of and stuff not to be proud of but the NHS is universally revered here. It’s not perfect of course (because it’s run by fallible human beings) but it’s worthy of celebration as an achievement. No one here thinks that if you don’t have cash then tough.
Ill tell what many of my older family members certainly do remember though Celee, it’s their parents not being able to send for a Doctor because they didn’t have cash to pay. How many people died from lack of treatment because they couldn’t afford it? How many illnesses went undiagnosed? How many babies died? Now everyone gets health treatment from the Prime Minister (or Idiot as most of us call him) down to someone sleeping rough.
If anyone does decry the NHS it’s always, and I mean always, someone who is a) on the right, and b) comfortably off financially……so basically it’s “I’m alright Jack.”

The things I described with socialized medicine are happening in every country that has government-run health care. We getting a little taste of what it could be like now. Doctors being threatened with losing their licenses and not being allowed to prescribe certain possible treatments and vaccine mandates
Ive never understood why some have such a big issue with any attempt to ensure that everyone gets decent access medical treatment?

Originally posted by celee View PostDemocrats went on for five years claiming President Trump was an illegitimate President and stole the election.
You commented Democrats do not tolerate corrupt politicians and then you make excuses for Democrat corrupt politicians. You are amusing.
Are you joking? I think you are just trying to keep me amused. It is working. If President Trump has Russian vodka Democrats cry for impeachment. Talk about easy to blackmail. C'mon the guy was sleeping with a Chinese spy.
The same things you hate about President Trump and claim that everyone else should too are the same things Biden has been accused of. Biden has been accused of sexual assault. Biden has made several racist comments. Biden has lied to the American public. plagiarized other political figures and his family has business ties to Russia, China, and Ukraine.
Biden was accused of sexual assault by one woman that even the Republicans said were lying because her story changed repeatedly about what happened. She was proven to be a liar about multiple instances in her own personal history that had nothing to do with Biden, but she'd manufactured for drama/effect, and could not maintain a consistent story as to either what Biden had done, and her story veered wildly all over the place, depending on which reporter she told it to.
What Biden IS guilty of, and which he has been rightly called out for, is being one of those annoying PEOPLE (and I know men and women), who have no sense of personal space and no sense of boundaries, who stand too close, who touch people's arms, who put a hand around your your shoulder, who are overly and intrusively personally affectionate. If you are a woman, and a man does this to you, it can feel like sexual intimidation, but since Biden does it to men and women alike, it's not a sexual harassment thing, it's a boundary thing, which he has been called out on, and which he should apologize for and quit the **** doing. But that's not sexual harassment. That's a lack of recognition that people have different personal boundaries.
You down Former President Trump for wishing Maxwell luck but it is okay for the Clinton's to have a close friendship with her.
Once again, the fact that you Republicans don't actually see a difference, is troubling. You don't know what your pals get up to at night. But once you do, it reflects on you. The Clintons didn't go "Good Job Giselle! Beat the System!" when the news came out.
The Clinton foundation was very corrupt. Just ask the people of Hati and of course there is the whole destroying cell phones and emails that had been court-ordered to be turned over. Sounds a little bit like obstruction of justice.
Y'all dumbasses will believe anything.
Yes she did and her son has some shady business deals.
You obviously do not read my post. I posted that socialism in theory is the best system in my opinion. However, Capitalism is the economic system that gives the people the most freedom.
The hypocrisy is hysterical and the fact you seem to be totally unaware of it is priceless comedy. Democrats did not exactly lose with grace in 2016.
Other than being entertaining this discussion is going nowhere. So, let us just stop.
The things I described with socialized medicine are happening in every country that has government-run health care. We getting a little taste of what it could be like now. Doctors being threatened with losing their licenses and not being allowed to prescribe certain possible treatments and vaccine mandates.
