Universal healthcare is crap. Here's why.

MY MOM HAS LOCKJAW AND MEDICAID WON'T PAY FOR THE SURGERY BECAUSE IT'S "COSMETIC".

Fuck Medicaid. My mom can't open her mouth and since humans need to eat to survive, this is a health problem. Not cosmetic.  But we want Medicaid for everyone, right? Universal healthcare or bust!

The truth about healthcare is that greed ruins everything. Nationalized healthcare is no better than Medicaid. You pay taxes for crappy service while the rich can afford the better service you get from private doctors who over charge so the poor can't afford them.  Before you fight for NHS in the US, talk to people who have experience in those systems. We're an immigrant nation. Lots of Canadians rather live here. Find one. Talk to them.

Obama lied to us. His plan didn't help us the way it was supposed to. The way he promised us it would. For every 1 person who benefited from Obamacare, there's 10 more who paid for something they couldn't use. That's just the truth if it. The law needs massive tweeking.

And here's the rub. It never will be better.  They'll make changes, but politicians like getting money from rich people so those changes will be designed to appease the rich people who give them money.  Billionaires who own insurance companies give politicians money.  Pharma bro gives politicians money.  Their voice matters more than ours.

Healthcare is over priced. THAT'S the issue that needs solving.  We SHOULD NOT NEED to pay a third party middle man to help cover our medical costs.  If not for greed, we'd be able to afford them on our own. Insurance is a scam.

But nationalized healthcare isn't going to solve any of our healthcare woes. Greed will still exist. Prices will go up and government cost cutting will mean the poor continue to get the shaft.

A healthy diet and exercise is the best thing we can do.  They try to make this hard for us because they want us sick so we have to use their healthcare and they can continue to get rich off of us, but we just have to outsmart them. If you aren't limiting your doctor visits to emergencies only, you're just contributing to the problem.

We have to force these greedy bastards to accommodate us.  The only way to do that is with our buying power.  Make them beg us to use their service.

Good luck. Watch this video.

The Wrong Side of History

Anyone who feels compelled to constantly remind you that THEY'RE on the right side of history while YOU'RE not, is with 99% probability NOT on the right side of anything.

History is written by both the winners and the losers and the 2 sides very rarely are honest with their accounts. This is why white Southerners know the Civil War was also about an over reaching government but downplay the significance of slavery and white Northerners think the Civil War was solely over slavery. Both a hatred over big government and whether or not slavery was ok fostered the Civil War, but very few admit that it was BOTH.  Those that do? Ostracized.

And now we have SJWs demanding that racist white America erase all memorials to the confederacy or else and Southerners moaning about how unfair whiping out their heritage is.  No one understands the purpose of monuments.

They're not to celebrate. They're to REMEMBER.  If there's one time in American history we don't need to forget, it's the time when we almost died as a nation over bipartisan bullshit.

It's ok to take monuments down, but put them in museums so our children can learn about WHY we took them down. Don't just erase white history because you don't like white people. The confederacy built the South and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and even having a statue or two so that passersbys can be REMINDED of those times and HOW FAR WE'VE COME since then.

I don't care how great you think your own ancestors were.  Mine contributed just as much to the founding of this country.  We didn't take credit for what you built.  We designed it.  You're a racist asshat if you think that doesn't matter.

Also recognize that freedom means people have a right to own, fly, wear, masturbate to, etc all the confederate flags they want. America, you asshats.

These monuments represent history.  You can't just rewrite history to fit that anti white propganda you so desperately want to believe.  Racist, asshats.

But another note.  Mark my words, those who are so quick to destroy any memory of the confederacy.  Your day will come.

This country will be majority hispanic in 30 years. We have an ever increasing Muslim population. We have white guilt that leads us to complacency and an out of control need to destroy America in the name of "diversity".  Understand that there will come a time when YOU are no longer relevant.  YOUR ideas will be obsolete.  YOU will be condemned for YOUR actions.  BLM, folks.

ONE DAY YOU WILL BE FORGOTTEN.

One day, a century from now, some future generation will tear down all the monuments to MLK and Malcolm X.  Those monuments won't be needed anymore. They'll be too racist. Too controversial.  Future generations will tear down your monuments and put up their own.

And you're children and grandchildren will not like it anymore than the white Southerners you're condemning now do.

Think about that.

Man has been building monuments for centuries. Most of them were taken down.  You can pretend eradicating any reference to the confederacy is a victory, but it's a short lived victory.  One day, it'll be your turn.

Asshats.

The Casual Prayer

If there's one thing that drives me crazy about church, it's the people who only go because they feel obligated.  That's not what your church time is for.  You're supposed to be communing with the Lord and that's something you should WANT to do.  Not something you feel forced to do.

I know we're supposed to spend time with God every day, but let's be honest. We live busy lives and left to our own devices, we are weak minded enough to forget.  That's why we still go to church.  Not because it's something God wants us to do but because we need the reminder and the dedicated time to think about God and what He expects for us.

I can't stand the people who are only good Christians on Sunday and lie about it.  The ones who only go to Life Group or teach Sunday school and never stay for worship or the ones who go through the whole process but can't wait to go home and watch the game.

What are you really doing to grow in your faith?  Are you ministering to your neighbors? When is the last time you participated in an Agape meal?  Do you tithe?  Do you read your Bible at home?

Or are you putting on a good show to maintain your reputation in the church community?

A lot of people are missing the point.  You're the casual prayer, the casual Christian.  You aren't doing God's will.  You're going through the motions to save face or because everyone else is or because you were trained to as a child and never thought about it.

When you were baptized, did you really accept Jesus as your personal savior? Or did you only do it to be accepted into the church?  Baptism isn't a gang initiation.  Unless you're serious about dedicating your life to God, don't bother.

I struggle with this myself. We all do.  Some days I don't feel well. Some days external forces prevent me from going.  And some days I do forgot to pray.  I'm human.  I'm fallible.  No matter how many Bible versus we memorize, we're all children in the faith until we meet God face to face. I want to do better.

And I want anyone who reads this to do better.  Don't pretend you're pious when you're not.  Or why bother going to church at all?  Jesus only saves those who come to Him.

No none comes to Jesus who doesn't really want to.  Truth.

Please want to.
