WWNH: In the last half of the 20th Century radical feminists and acolytes solicited and lobbied government in political, legal, and economic issues. Never did they or government concern themselves with the bias against men or the social and domestic unrest caused within relationships.
Some people believe in government of, by, and for the people, and this traditional spirit puts women and children in the front of the bus. Others have created government of the politicians, by the bureaucrats, and for the lobbyists. All arranged under the principle that power comes first. This takes power away from the people, which moves women to the back of the bus.
Some people depend upon constitutional restraints to prevent federal government from growing too big. Others believe ever-growing Big Government to be the solution to all of life’s problems. Women and adolescents easily fall victim to Big Government propaganda, because it touts promises they like to hear: equality, compassion, empathy, sympathy, tax the rich, help the poor, lift the downtrodden, protect the disadvantaged, and especially ‘I feel your pain’.
Some people favor ideologies that promote better home life for women and children, e.g., free market capitalism, which rewards people according to what they put into the economy. Others favor ideologies that cost women and children more than they benefit, e.g., socialism interferes with economic growth and then has to ration goods and services. (If you think health care is expensive now, then wait until it’s free.)
Some people measure society’s progress by how well their life improves along with that of others. Others measure progress by how their anti-American ideology makes their life better at the expense of everyone else.

“If you think health care is expensive now, then wait until it’s free.”
Correct me if I’m wrong. If public health care becomes reality, that would mean that even more Americans will take less responsibility for their health, which will overwhelm the health care system even more. More hazardous lifestyles (eating enormous amounts of crap + being sedentary) = more disease. The gov’t will pay for my chemo when my cancer sets in! Whee!!!!
I say if you want health insurance, every single health insurance company will require a health exam. If you are fat, you will pay more. If you are healthy, you will pay less.

There’s a good article about how Safeway is successfully implementing risk based health insurance. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124476804026308603.html
So the left’s agenda is to take from the rich and give to the poor which takes incentive to work away from both! How does this relate to feminism, kind Sir Guy and what can we do on daily basis to stay out of the fray and not be destroyed by all this?
Your Preciousness Princess Rita,
Millions of tax dollars go to Planned Parenthood. It’s run by feminists. They promote and help girls get abortions, but they refuse to help with unmarried births and adoption.
To stay out of the fray, learn more about the fray. I close post 615 with a book that superbly describes the fray. I recommend Saturday’s post and highly recommend the book.

“The key to achieving these savings is health-care plans that reward healthy behavior.”
I LOVE it! It is a huge kick in the pants for the unhealthy. Why in the hell should I pay for someone’s unhealthy lifestyle while I’m grunting in my weight room and not eating fried foods? That’s how health care should be. That way neither the rich nor the poor are penalized. The ones penalized are the unhealthy.

A concern I have with a national health care system is also linked with my position of pro-life. All life is sacred, including the unborn and the ‘handicapped’ and the old. But if a national health care system is in place and it is not a pro-life government, that opens the way for the gov’t. to decide that the handicapped and the old are too much trouble and too much of a drain on the finances. Ever since I was 17 I have been a military dependent and until the last few years had medical care at military facilities. I was ALWAYS given adequate care, but never anything close to what civilians expected or received. This included lung surgery. No private or semi-private room, but an open ward with 10-15 other patients, all with thoracic type surgeries ranging from open heart surgery to lung cancer. When government health care is our ONLY option, they get to do what they want, when they want, and how they want for whomever they want, while the general population pays for it.

That’s exactly what will happen and people refuse to see it. There are online petitions for people to sign against this. Tea Party Patriots is one.

Sorry Guy, I hope I’m not getting too poltical, but we all seem to agree, so I just wanted to put it out there.
