Jon Stewart was on a roll this whole show. Worth watching the whole thing comedycentral.com.

Jon:

…You’re slowly going from Nixon to Mr. Burns.

Excellent.

I’m not going to sit here and let you insult Mr. Burns. True they are both cruel and inhumane but at least Mr. Burns is intelligent and can speak in complete sentences.

These kids don’t want the government telling them what they can or cannot die from. It’s just wrong.

Yeah, at the rate our esteemed representatives from both ‘parties’ are going these children will get the same opportunity when they….

Grow up to be adults.

The whole SCHIPS scam is a pathetic attempt by our ‘leaders’ to show us that they an get something done by passing something that affects approx. 4 m. cute, ‘lil’ kids.

One question for the squirming mass of pus-sacks currently infesting Congress…

What about the other 43 million folks who are uninsured?

Got any plans for them?

Besides letting their dead bodies pile up outside the emergency rooms?

Yeah, I. Did. Not. Think. So.

Please, Congress, override this inane veto.

Think of it this way:

If Baby Bush had been able to get medical and psychiatric help, to combat his ADD and MBS (Malfunctioning Brain Syndrome), this country would not be in this godawful mess.

Don’t take a chance on this disaster recurring, give our current kids good health. Then we can worry about their education, giving them better role models than the current administration, and restoring the constitution so they can live free.

And maybe someday we can have a sane, healthy president.

I don’t know what’s sadder, Bush’s lack of empathy or that it took you two days to post this. I laughed my butt off when I saw this on Thursday.

awe lets just admit it.. we hate poor people, or at least we should. and more than anything we should hate poor children for wanting their health. we have a brain dead president that seems to do well enough for himself.

Compassionate Conservatism - If you’re not rich, you’re screwed!

If Bush is Burns,
Does that make Jeff Gannon Mr. Smithers?

Bush’s alternative to SCHIP:

Oh, my god! My face muscles hurt. And John Oliver is nuts…

Oh, yeah, Bush proves once again he’s mentally retarded.

It would be nice to have health care for children, however I think charities, churches and other organizations (even local government) should do it NOT the Federal government. The Federal government has 2 jobs, print money and protect our civil liberties. EVERYTHING else thet try to do has a negative impact on our country. I wish you guys would realize that.

You all know Ron Paul is by far the best candidate, really the only one who is what a president should be. Another Libertarian named Harry Browne had a simple message, would it be worth it to give up your favorite government program if you never had to pay income tax, property tax, gas tax and run your life and business without excessive government regulation and interference again?

That was easy for me to answer and I think it is easy for you too. I don’t have a favorite government program, in fact the only thing I EVER got from the government was college money, although that was in exchange for 4 years of my time in the military. Be honest with yourself, exactly WHAT benefits do you get from the federal government (I mean real personal benefits not just what you’re supposed to get)? Now WHAT does the federal government take from you? Is it a fair trade?

Most liberals THINK there are all these government programs that help many people but the reality is quite the opposite. You need to make a paradigm shift in your thinking.

You must realize that there has never been free market capitalism. However, for about the first 100 years the US has something close and that made this country the greatest in history. For the last 100 years we have been moving back and forth between socialist (welfare state) and fascist (warfare state). Today th US federal government is literally worse than Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. Corporations and central bankers OWN most politicians. The idea that lobbyists are the problem is ridiculous because politicians today already have their marching orders BEFORE they are allowed to take office.

The only hope this country has is to radically reduce the size and scope of the federal government. NO MORE PROGRAMS. Abolish the Federal Reserve. Stop paying Taxes. Stop supporting the 2 party system because they are both for big government. Stop all wars, especially the wars on ‘terror’ and ‘drugs’. Those are both FAKE and are primarily to support the CIA and invisible government (who incidentally are the real terrorists and drug dealers).

I think I need a translator for everything John Oliver was saying.

so…
You think Mr Burns is a Libertarian?

ujm

That is an idiotic statement, but I didn’t expect much more from you.

In all seriousness I agree that total government reform would have to include the goal of reducing government to less than 1/10th of its size and eliminating the duplicity that exists between fed state and local governments. It would free up so many tax dollars that local organizations could be set up, funded by local citizens to help out the local poor.

It would be sink or swim for many groups, but we are supposed to be adaptable. Right now, most programs are opportunities not only for government waste, but corporate greed.

Mr. President, excellent first point sir. Well thought out and worded.

Sam, check out the Ron Paul article at http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com

Excerpt, handwritten letter from Ron Paul: ” I don’t need to tell you that our American way of life is under attack. We see it all around us — every day — and it is up to us to save it.

The world’s elites are busy forming a North American Union. If they are successful, as they were in forming the European Union, the good ‘ol USA will only be a memory. We can’t let that happen.

The UN also wants to confiscate our firearms and impose a global tax. The UN elites want to control the world’s oceans with the Law of the Sea Treaty. And they want to use our military to police the world.”

Ron Paul is dead-on with respect to PNAC and a few other issues, but most of the time he’s one sandwich short of a picnic.

Straight shooter,

Please tell me one candidate who has enough sandwiches to make a picnic.

Yeah, that worked real good here prior to FDR. Every day they’d send the clean up crews out to pick up the dead bodies of those who had died in the night from starvation, disease and drunkeness. And yeah, slavery another thing you so-called libertarians overlook. If it wasn’t for action by the nasty, evil Federal Government black folks would still be slaves.

Your need to get yer head out of your ass and read some actual history instead of what momma home schooled ya.

Yea, and I’m sick of ham and turkey.

How can these 29%-ers listen to this idiot president and still adore him. “I have a decision making job, so as a result, I make a lot of decisions.” –Genius, sheer genius– where can I send my money to support him?– If I were there, I’d be howling with laughter. But I probably wouldn’t be picked to attend that forum.

Brilliant!! Thanks John and John.

OK everybody….All together now…“Always look on the bright side of life…”

joe @ 13:

I think I need a translator for everything John Oliver was saying.

Speaking of translaters John Oliver did a hilarious interview when he interviewed a conservative who demanded Spanish speaking immigrants speak English. Oliver asked him a question in a highlands English dialect. The guy couldn’t understand a single word he said. Then this conservative dolt said if the Mexicans can’t speak English if they are admitted to a hospital they can just point to what’s wrong. So John pointed to his arm to indicate broken arm, then pointed to his chest indicating heart attack then he asked the guy, “How would this person, using their hands, say ‘I’m allergic to penicillan?”

Back OT. Bush and his baby boomer followers seem to forget “these children” are going to be the ones taking care of their withered asses in a few years. What goes around comes around.

AC

Moron is not spelled with an A. I didn’t think anyone could reply with a stupider post than ujm but you get the retard award.

This country will not survive another 4 years of more federal spending on wars or health care/environmental programs. Welfare and Warfare is destroying us, if you can’t understand that then you deserve what you are creating/supporting.

George W. Bush.

Providing Jon Stewart with endless material since 2000.

The fact that you cannot see a difference between war spending and health care/environmental spending betrays the fact that you are incapable of seeing shades of gray. Your arguments are all-or-nothing, throw-out-the-baby-with-the-bathwater idiocy. You have a very simple mind. It must be a great comfort to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let’s get rid of all government programs! Environmental protection? Who needs it! Safe food and water? Fuck that noise! Safety and health protections for workers? That’s for pussies! Let’s get rid of all of that and just put our trust in the “free market” because, God knows, those wonderful, altruistic human beings who run Big Business can certainly be trusted to regulate themselves. Fucking Libertarian bullshit. But what can we expect from people who don’t even realize that Ayn Rand was writing a work of FICTION when she wrote “Atlas Shrugged”.

There must be a happy medium.

Maybe we could try dividing the country into North and South.

Jon Stewart is a gift. John Oliver was hilarious.

Stewart should be hosting the GOP debates …

Wow Gene, you certainly have a way with words. I love how your sarcasm drips. When are the ‘elites’ going to realize/accept that we are all in this together. Those who can pay more than the basic ‘fair share’ should. ‘How much’ continuously to be argued and legislated. Unfortunatly, too many of the big corps are managing to escape paying their fair share, leaving the burden to those who aren’t connected or know what ‘wheels to grease.’

Let’s face it, we’ve become the Nation Of the Corporations, By the Corporations, For the Corporations.

How much more fair would it be if we could delegate how our tax dollars are allocated? I do NOT want to fund the war in Iraq (get the hell out of the Middle East altogether ASAP), paying for Abu Grabi, a lavish lifestyle for the top tier of the military, FISA, War on Drugs, etc.

I DO want my taxes spent on schools/education, healthcare for all, libraries, parks/environment, roads, police, firefighters, 911 - all the good things that coordinates the inhabitants of this country and makes everyone’s life better - not just for those who are lining their pockets.

Maybe I should change my name to Pollyanna.

Blue Rose, the elites will NEVER admit that their plight is tied to that of us proles. Divide and conquer, that’s always been their plan. Set up bullshit strawmen like gay marriage or flag burning, anything thing to keep the serfs distracted while THEY (the elites) continue to line their pockets. Quite frankly, I don’t see how it’s ever going to change when working Americans keep consistently voting against their own interests. I just don’t get it. I’m with you with regards to how our tax money should be spent. Here’s my prioritized list: HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, EDUCATION, CREATION OF INDUSTRIES DEDICATED TO CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY(sort of like a space program for energy independence). And don’t change your name to pollyanna :-)

You can have your precious programs, but LOCALLY. I can’t believe how fuckin dense you guys are. The FEDERAL government and programs are the problem, because all they do is steal all our money, inflate our currency, limit our freedoms, and just to expand the wealth and power of multinational corporations and central banks.

Each State should be FREE to tax how they want, create programs that they want, and compete for citizens. And the federal government should just print money and protect our borders and rights.

The Elites are moving us to a ‘North American Union’, if that happens no more constitution, no more dollars, although you might get your precious Canadian health care system (hope you like waiting in line). Wake up before it is too late. Europe is just realizing how they have been duped, and we are next.
