John Charlton, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, headquartered in Ramadi. Whereas six months ago only half of Ramadi’s 23 tribes were cooperating with the coalition, all have now been persuaded to join an anti-al Qaeda alliance. One of Ramadi’s leading sheikhs told me: “A rifle pointed at an American soldier is a rifle pointed at an Iraqi.”}}}

I’m not gloating over it, you Coward, you are.
What do you think the point of my post was?
{{{According to the APA Report, a growing number of military personnel and their families are reporting emotional problems resulting from deployment stress. More than 30 percent of all soldiers met the criteria for a mental disorder but less than half (23-40%) of those with mental health concerns sought help. Moreover, these figures do not include those who don’t identify concerns or those who develop symptoms after returning from deployments.}}}
The army is doing it’s job for once and identifying a problem and being proactive with it. Where soldiers would normally go untreated BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T REPORT THE PROBLEM, the army is making more care available as they should be doing.
So what does the AJC say: >overwhelmed by the number of soldiers returning from war with mental problems,<.
That is a bald faced lie and a propaganda announcement on behalf of Al Qaeda.
You, POS, as usual, DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SOLDIERS UNLESS THEY CAN BE USED AGAINST AMERICA.

Romney might do well in Georgia. He’s a Mormon (not to be confused with Moron, (although many of the beliefs of both groups are similar, and they are often hard to distinguish)), which is an evangelical religion that’s just as KKKhristian as Southern Baptist and the other loser cults popular in the red states. Their doctrines and beliefs are just the kind of farfetched superstitions the idiots of Georgia lap up.
And the whole polygamy thing is very intriguing to rednecks, since they grew up in households where nobody really knew who their daddy was, and their were lots of men and women in and out and around.
There are a couple of things about Mormonism that might turn off the redneck vote - unlike the Baptists, Mormons don’t drink or chew tebakkky or smoke either. And generally, Mormons marry their nieces before they have sex with them.
Also, Mormons have a much higher standard of personal hygiene than most Southern Baptists, and Mitt’s coifed and tanned personna, and the northeastern prep school candy-a-ss name of Mitt will also turn off many Georgia GOPers, who aren’t known for their in-depth analysis when it comes to politics - or anything else for that matter.
When it’s all said and done, “that Romney - he ain’t from around here.” will be hard for Mitt to overcome. Perhaps a Romney-Perdoofus or Romney - David Duke ticket could rally Georgia GOPers more to Mitt…
Too bad he can’t raise J.B. Stoner or Zell Miller from the dead…

You really are a piece of work Buy Danish.
But I will paraphrase what I told RW/Buy Danish - I never claimed to be an expert on calculating infant mortality rates. I believe RW who made that claim. All I said last night was that I had friends and family in Europe - some who had even had heart attacks and didn’t have to wait for four weeks for treatment.
Somehow, you/RW took that to mean I was claiming to be an expert. Nope. Not an expert, are you? Is RW?
He/You made a pretty outrageous claim about how many countries don’t help premature babies and those with defects. I was just calling him on that yesterday, and You/He, can’t stand it when somebody calls you on something.

Being born with a silver spoon in your mouth (that you can later conveniently turn into your college coke spoon) means you don’t really know what it’s like for the rest of us-you know, the people who actually have to work for a living. Our (cough-cough) esteemed president is of the silver spoon variety, and then some. Not only does he have no clue about the tough decisions working people have to face with regards to money issues, he apparently thinks they pretty much deserve to get screwed by those who have the big bucks.
In a case now before the Supreme Court (Stoneridge v. Scientific-American), the US Solicitor General- with the direct urging of President Bush- is asking the court to reject an SEC recommendation that would hold investment banks liable for their roles in schemes that defraud investors. Think Enron here folks, because if the court accepts this line of argument, Enron will look like hopscotch compared to what could come.

“The endgame in Iraq is now clear. We ought to start coming to grips with the meaning of losing in Iraq.
Were our founding fathers here, they would surely look on Iraq with horror and judge that the nation they created had fundamentally lost its way. If the war in Iraq leads the United States to return to its traditional, restrained grand strategy, then perhaps the whole experience will not have been in vain.
The American people seem to understand, however — and historians will certainly agree — that the war itself was a catastrophic mistake. It was a faulty grand strategy, not poor implementation.”

Is redneck an ethnic group? Really?
Rednecks can be found across many races, cultures, religions. The typical North Georgian has much in common with a typical Compton resident and your garden variety Taliban - hatred and disrespect of women, belief in violence, suspicion of things intellectual, xenophobia, racism, superstition, hopelessness, victimology, broken homes, STDs, drug and substance abuse, etc., so you see, rednecks are cross-cultural, come from many religions and even no religion, although a healthy skepticism towards evangelical religion indicates a mind more capable of recovering from redneck affliction.
Yes, places like Afghanistan, the American South, and American inner cities are breeding grounds of redneck behavior - but lets look - aren’t you, POS Andi/e, from the Chicago area?
You are proof that “redneck” is not an ethnicity, it is a lifestyle CHOICE, or like alcoholism or drug addiction, a DISEASE or MENTAL DISORDER.
As a redneck, YOU willfuly choose your ignorance, your hatred, your belief in violence, even your paranoia, and you willfully choose NOT to be different.
Rednecks are sick and broken human beings that walk amongst us and try to drag us down to their level. Perhaps they deserve our pity, but they continue to serve it back to us with scorn and hatred. Unwilling to face the fear and hatred in their own hearts, they lash out to anything and everyone…

Why do you continue to think logic and reason will change minds over ideology and stridency?
Good rule of thumb: whoever the ublerlibs target in the GOP is who they think could be a problem for Hillary in the general election. Plus, they will avoid policy discussions at all costs - one can infer the reasons why.
Ever notice how they continue to grapple with the concept of “journalist” vs “broadcaster” vs “reporter,” let alone distinguish among the various specialties and assignments those term carry? Let’s see, someone who earns a Masters Degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University and a Master of Public Administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University is a (pick one of the three. Hint: it’s not the same as someone who gets a Bachelor of Science degree in communications arts with no advanced degrees).
I thought the first comment of the day was pretty astute. ML do a cartoon on Hillary’s Iraq stances? ML couldn’t portray the lecterns in a straight line - they’d have to be more in a pretzel shape. But we won’t talk about that…

Well, I guess it’s “the rainy season” for John Edwards ml.
(((Last February, Edwards told a crowd of supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., “We have to stop letting the health insurance companies and the big pharmaceutical concerns decide our nation’s health care policy.”)))
(((In that same February speech, Edwards went on to say, “It’s time we stood up for an energy policy that’s not dictated by the profit margins of big oil.”John Edwards has tried to set his 2008 presidential candidacy apart from the pack by highlighting poverty and criticizing corporate power, but the North Carolina Democrat in recent years has accepted tens of thousands of dollars in donations from individuals working for the tobacco, pharmaceutical, oil and other sectors.)))
(((But for Common Cause, a liberal government watchdog group, the question of Edwards’ donors does underline the need to get “big money” out of politics.)))
(((The fact that Edwards accepts donations from such sources could cloud his message, said Jon Orman, political science professor at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Conn.)))
(((“If he takes money from the same groups he criticizes … does it disqualify his statements? No. But it does make them suspect,” Orman told Cybercast News Service.)))

Last I checked (been awhile, may have changed) Sweden’s first tax bracket was 31 percent - don’t recall if they have much in the way of exemptions. How many here making $40,000 would be happy paying over $12,000 in Federal tax? Plus, they have fewer tax brackets than we do and one has to make a lot, lot more before jumping into the next bracket.
Makes one wonder - they’re so egalitarian - yet most Americans consider it wrong to charge mid-to-low income earners much of anything in taxes. There’s a discussion topic.
Brits used to pay about 18 percent of their gross wages for national health. Then there’s Value Added Tax on all purchases (it’s about 25% in Sweden - again, no exemptions for low to middle income folks).
Here’s the kicker - when you count all taxes paid - to all government sources - the US isn’t all that much different from many of these more socialized countries. At least people over there can feel as if they’re getting something for themselves for the taxes they pay - not just transferring it to other special interest constituencies.
Maybe if we got rid of most of some Federal agencies and program, cut Defense by about a third… we could use the funds more equitably.

{{{{As far as I can see it, the majority of people over their have no complaints.}}}}
Stevie,
There is really no freedom of speech in Sweden, so the opportunities to complain are not boundless, and even if you do complain there is no one to complain to.
Here is an interesting commentary on the Swedish health care system. I found this statement particularly telling:
There is somewhat of an assembly line mentality among physicians that most Swedes do not question, but which can be hard for Americans to accept. Americans who are used to a personal physician or pediatrician, and who are used to taking responsibility for their own health, may have some difficulties adjusting to the Swedish system. Doctors are generally just parts of the assembly line, and one doctor can easily be exchanged for another. Patients are filed into the system, treated and sent home. Doctors in Sweden need not sell themselves to patients. Medical education does not emphasize interviewing and listening skills. They are not accustomed to patients questioning their prescribed treatments.——————>Patients are not expected to know (or want to know) much about their diseases.<—————
Ignorance is bliss in Socialist counties. That’s the only way they can continue to operate.
Sounds groovy, Stevie. They welcome immigrants over there since their own population cannot support its bloated welfare state.
If you ever need medical attention you can just hop on a plane.

Rednecks have no logic and reason. They can’t understand thing that are in front of them nor understand the implications of past history on the present. That’s why the war was dumbed down, so that “simple” people could understand. “They hate us for our freedom!”, Bush says. It’s much more complicated then that. If you would use your brain, or finish high school you would understand such things. Then again, you guys refuse to go to those “libru’l” schools.

Yes, it matters not what the actual citizens of a country might think, they are living in such a suppressed socialistic existence. Poor things.
Okay, I’ve tried three times to post some kind of links that demonstrate how to calculate infant mortality rates, and have failed all three times. Infant mortality rates, in general, are the rate of infant deaths in a country before year one.
But here are some links I’ve found that address how these rates are calculated:
Berkeley
London Health Observatory
Again, I’m not claiming to be an expert. These are just a couple of reports I found on the internet.
In none of these reports did I see anything about how premature infants or those born with defects are measured into IMR. I read over them pretty quickly, so I may have missed it. If anyone sees anything about that, please let me know.
Now, like I said, I’m no expert. But, now for me, RW/Buy Danish can you please provide some kind of proof to make your statement “many countries do nothing to save the lives of premature babies or those born with defects and don’t ever count them as a life” to be true?

This is a very informative article about the Swedish health care system, and it serves as a warning about what not to do.
Researchers studying Swedes waiting for hip or knee replacement concluded that “almost every aspect of daily life is affected by the indeterminate wait for surgery and the related experiences of pain and disability. The respondents express a deep sense of lost dignity, powerlessness and frustration.” One patient complained that the pain had gotten so bad that she “had no quality of life.” “I can’t participate in anything,” she said. “I can’t go for a walk, I can’t do anything, so why on earth do I need to wake up in the morning!” Depression and hopelessness were other common symptoms. Another patient complained, “I feel as though I’ve lost my human dignity. You get depressed and fed up with the pain. Still I try to be patient. But you lose the desire (to live).” She further complained of her treatment by the clinic where her surgery was to take place. “I felt so neglected, you get treated, yes, worse than an animal because you can take an animal to the veterinary… I feel so powerless.
And speaking of mortality rates:
{{{A recent study that examined over 5,800 Swedish patients on a wait list for heart surgery found that the long wait has consequences far worse than pain, anxiety or monetary cost. In this study, the median wait time was found to be 55 days. While on the waiting list, 77 patients died. The authors’ statistical analysis led them to conclude that the “risk of death increases significantly with waiting time.” Another study found a mean wait time of 55 days for heart surgery in Sweden and a similar rate of mortality for those on the waiting list. Finally, a study in the Swedish medical journal Lakartidningen found that reducing waiting times reduced the heart surgery mortality rate from seven percent to just under three percent}}}

With respect to the debate on health care, it should be said that there are no easy answers and that two factors: cost and availibility, are going to decide the future of the health care industry.
Any thinking person would prefer a free market health care system over a socialized system. However, circumstances bring difficult choices.
As things stand now, we have health care costs that cripple businesses and threaten our ability to compete. It simply is cheaper to have an auto plant in Toronto because the company won’t have to pay for health care.
In addition, those people who can’t get health care through their employers have great difficulty affording health insurance. Those at the bottom of the economic scale get free, although insufficient, health care.
These circumstances bring difficult choices for us as a country. If we continue on the same path, more and more people will become uninsured and more and more companies will move overseas where they don’t have the burden of health care costs. If we allow a government takeover then costs will be controlled by controlling our behavior and the resultant services will not be as good.
At this point, the calculation seems to be that those Americans who can afford it should have the benefit of the best health care in the world. However, as less and less people get that health care and the more it is seen as a luxury for the rich, democratic forces are going to demand a change.
What needs to be done in the short term is something similar to what LBJ did in the ‘60’s which was to provide more access to health care at higher profits for service providers. If we can make a similar correction, perhaps the socialization of medicine can at least be postponed.
While I generally side with the Democrats on most issues, I am not for socialization of health care, yet. However, the burden is going to be on the right to come up with a market based solution that serves more people without compromising quality. If the GOP holds the position that status quo is good enough, those things that Buy Danish justifiably fears are unavoidable.

A local politician in southern Sweden has been fined 18,000 kronor for writing a motion claiming that 95 percent of all heroin brought in to Sweden comes via Kosovo…Prosecutor Mats Svensson told the court Pettersson had used tactics that pitted different societal groups against each other and deliberately spread wounding statements about Kosovo Albanians./Pettersson’s counsel Bjelica Milenko said that freedom of speech was on trial. A motion about homelessness must be allowed to point to the problems and costs of immigration, he said… The court found against Pettersson, ruling that he was guilty of Agitation Against a National or Ethnic Group
Of course you libs probably rejoice over this sort of thing that make people like myself cringe.

Yeah! Buy Danish has now turned into RW!
“You claimed to be an expert in infant mortality rates yesterday when you said any dispute of your findings was through ignorance.”
When did I say that yesterday?
Yes, I have actually heard of those terms, and if you’ll read those reports I posted, you’ll see who wrote it. I said, “in general” that is what infant mortality rates are. You are right, there are perinatal, neonatal, and post-neonatal mortality rates that factor into the whole big picture.
You are now just simply lying. I never claimed to be an expert. You are simply making that up RW.
Also, when are you going to provide proof to back up your claim that “many countries do nothing to save the lives of premature babies or those born with defects and don’t ever count them as a life”

You claimed that disputing your claim was ignorant. That means you are claiming to at the very least possess superior knowledge on the subject, but in 26 hours you have provided exactly jacksh-it. Some expert you are!!
To find the proof of that last paragraph just go to any report from any country and find out who is included in their stats. Oddly you’ll find that a lot of European countries hide their infant mortality rates by classifying perinatal deaths as miscarriages.

No, I actually am friends with real Swedes and thus I gauge their opinions about their health care system from what they tell me rather than some propaganda from an American conservative think tank.
They do have freedom of speech. The trial was about inciting racial hatred, which is illegal in most European countries. Given the Holocaust and other atrocities that have been committed over there in recent history, one could see why there is such a law on the books over there.
Evidently, the case is being appealed. Sometimes cases can be overturned, as we are learning first hand here in Georgia at the present moment.

The gibberish you cut and paste here is nothing new. Like the uneducated redneck that you self-identify with, you think if it is on the internet it must be true, and it must be true because you went to the trouble to cut and paste it. That, to you, constitutes debate and discussion. Period.
You get the response you deserve here. Despite your arrogance, you are nothing more than an ignorant, scared sh-itless POS. On your best day here.
You profess strong core values, yet all you really value is violence and retribution. You fancy that somehow your high school education makes you an expert on everything, when all it proves is that you have a limited ability for abstract thought. Like most rednecks, you gave up on school because it was too hard and you were too lazy, but you kid yourself that you stopped because you knew everything worth knowing, so now you consider yourself an expert on foreign affairs, global warming, economics, world religions, and all sorts of things that you are basically so clueless about you don’t even know you are clueless.
Of course, you know in your heart you don’t really know sh-it. Other than that violence might solve all the world’s problems - after all, it works for animals, some of the time.
POS Andi/e, I’ve invested a lot of time on your behalf today. I know you don’t appreciate it, but maybe someone who doesn’t suffer from redneck syndrome to the extent that you do will recognize their illness and do something about it. At the very least, I know I have contrbuted to the discussion here by helping some of the more progressive posters here to recognize the deep-seated mental disturbance that is neo-conservatism.

Here is an article from CNN that was posted last year. It says that we had the second worst newborn death rate in the “modern” or Western industrialized world. The SECOND WORST. Sweden was towards the top. In fact, that article shows that skilled personnel are present at NEARLY ALL births in Sweden.

Sweden has a higher life expectancy rate than we do. I don’t think that comes from a lot of people dying because of waiting for a procedure.
If you’re buying me a ticket to Europe, I’d gladly accept it. It’s a great place.
In fact, I lived over there for a year and enjoyed it. The best part about it is that I was over there when the Iraq War started, so I missed the brunt of all that rah-rah-tie-a-yellow-ribbon-fake-patriotic-bullshiit.

Romney is an interesting character. I saw him being interviewed several years ago and was very unimpressed.
But there is no doubt that he is, like the president preceding the current one, very intelligent. (Summa cum laude from BYU and cum laude from Harvard Law School).
And to his credit he did, by some accounts, basically save the Salt Lake Games of 2002.
But it appears that Luckovich’s cartoon is not incorrect.
Romney now holds pro-life views, though in 1994 he supported abortion rights in Massachusetts, which he says was a result of having a sister-in-law die as the result of an illegal abortion. In the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign, he was endorsed by the Republicans for Choice coalition.
He supports the death penalty, charter schools, and sentencing under the three strikes law.
(I’ve never understood how someone can, with a straight face, say they are pro-life AND for the death penalty! Call it what it is, anti-abortion or anti-choice but NOT pro-life.))
During his 1994 run for the senate against Kennedy, Romney sent a letter to the Log Cabin Republicans, where he was quoted as saying he would be more supportive of gay rights than Kennedy himself. His letter included the phrase “We must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern.” However, he opposed both same-sex marriage and civil unions in Massachusetts; when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ordered such marriages be permitted, he lobbied for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision. He has renounced his past support for domestic partnership benefits. He has been criticized by many in the right wing, particularly Paul Weyrich, as being a “flip flopper” on this and other issues.
(The above is taken from Wikipedia, and I know that really annoys some, but I’ve found all but the most minuscule percentage of the information there to be accurate.)

Contraception and infant mortality are two factors in the Mothers Index according to the article. Sweden kicks our butts in the Mothers Index because of BOTH a higher use of contraception and a lower infant mortality rate. They are two INDEPENDENT variables that are considered for the index.
Again, Sweden has a lower infant mortality rate than we do, which is measured by infant deaths per 1,000 births, and it has not so much to do with contraception as it does to access to health care and living conditions.

steve-o,
Do you have any idea how idiotic you sound?
First you blasted ME for connecting infant mortality rates to contraception and said (correctly) that those rates were only connected to LIVE BIRTHS.
I pointed out to you on no less than TWO occasions that it was CNN who made that ridiculous connection, not me, and it was you who linked the CNN story.
Now you’re saying, “IT HAS NOT SO MUCH TO DO WITH CONTRACEPTION as it does to access to health care and living conditions.”
It has nothing to do with contraception. If a baby is never conceived it can’t die, can it? If it can’t die it can’t be part of infant mortality rates, can it?
I feel like I’m communicating with someone from another planet.

Okay, Buy Danish, I’ll take it slow for you so you can keep up —
This statement was made by RW at 9:40 yesterday:
“That infant mortality rate is simply because many countries do nothing to save the lives of premature babies or those born with defects and don’t ever count them as a life.”
I’ve asked him many times to explain that statement yesterday and today, and he has yet to do it. Since you and him share the same brain, would you like to explain that?
The statement “That is the second best ignorant statment of the day, just behind the police/fire department one.”
Yes, that is mine. Somehow you/RW took that to mean a proclamation of my expertise as one who calculates infant mortality rates. Which, I have already said many times today that I’m not an expert. I even rephrased it as a effort to comprimise with you/RW and instead of the word “ignorant” I used “outrageous.”
But still, no word as to how that statement (That infant mortality rate is simply because many countries do nothing to save the lives of premature babies or those born with defects and don’t ever count them as a life), outrageous as it may seem is indeed, the truth.
I feel the truth is that you can’t support this statement with any facts, so now, in a feeble attempt at twisting reality, you are trying to make it seem that I made that statement which is absolutely false.

Read my lips:
ONE:
I have not made ONE statement about infant mortality rates except to note how ludicrous it was for CNN to confuse contraception rates with infant mortality rates.
I have not intervened in your discussion with RW except to point out to RW (and other readers) that you also complained about what I posted about Sweden yet you provided zilch to refute my links.
In other words, you have a habit of freely giving your opinion on things but not providing a single thing to back those opinions up.
TWO:
I posted your comments unedited in their entirety. I did not add any of my own commentary to your post. I merely located it for you. If you “feel” that that is unfair then that is your problem, not mine.
It goes a long way to explain why you are a liberal.

Stevie from Moonbatica,
No kidding! And if a baby is not conceived, it cannot be born, and therefore it cannot die.
If it cannot be born and cannot die it cannot be part of infant mortality rates.
CNN, not me, stated:
“The report said that family planning and increased contraception use leads to lower maternal and infant death rates.”
Spin it any way you want, it says what it says. Why not just admit that it was an idiotic thing for CNN to say?
That has been my single, solitary point, and as far as I’m concerned it is irrefutable.
The only thing that’s missing from this picture is to have Planned Parenthood chirp in about how abortion affects infant mortality rates.

Regarding the CNN article…whatever. The bottom line is that Sweden has a lower infant mortality rate and a higher standard of living due in part to their good health care system.

I never implied that RW’s quote, which was in quotation marks that you yourself added, was something YOU said.
Most people (well, maybe not those with GED’s) understand that quotation marks (“like this!”) indicate that you are quoting SOMEONE ELSE.
Would you have preferred that I only post your commentary, out of context? Is that how Libs are used to operating?

The 21st Century definition of “liberals” - Noun. Someone who advocates segregating people into groups in the name of “diversity” and “multi-culturalism”.
Commencement weekend is hard to plan at the University of California, Los Angeles. The university now has so many separate identity-group graduations that scheduling them not to conflict with one another is a challenge. The women’s studies graduation and the Chicana/Chicano studies graduation are both set for 10 AM Saturday. The broader Hispanic graduation, “Raza,” is in near-conflict with the black graduation, which starts just an hour later.
{{{Planning was easier before a new crop of ethnic groups pushed for inclusion. Students of Asian heritage were once content with the Asian–Pacific Islanders ceremony. But now there are separate Filipino and Vietnamese commencements, and some talk of a Cambodian one in the future. Years ago, UCLA sponsored an Iranian graduation, but the school’s commencement office couldn’t tell me if the event was still around. The entire Middle East may yet be a fertile source for UCLA commencements.}}}

For those of you who can’t understand what is wrong with segregating college students and are too lazy to read the story, here’s the explanation, from a common sense conservative:
Promoters of ethnic and racial graduations often talk about the strong sense of community that they favor. But it is a sense of community based on blood, a dubious and historically dangerous organizing principle…/But the core reason for separatist graduations is the obvious one: on campus, assimilation is a hostile force, the domestic version of American imperialism.

The Hispanic Solution being forced down this country’s throat by conservatives is forcing the issue too soon, and this could lead to a palestinian style situation right here at home. So far, it’s been a fairly peaceful migration of populations. In history, migrations are rarely peaceful. There’s always some isolationists who get the dogs of war riled up. The motivation of the Right in pressing this Amnesty label is to distract the American People from Iraq and Bush’s corrupt government. Amazing how it’s working, but the problem is that the Right is leading us down a path to a Mexican Confrontation that nobody needs and only a lunatic wants.
