I love this country but we have collectively made mistake after mistake ever since we let old G.W.B claim victory in an election he lost. We need to stop worrying about the rest of the world and fix our own country so we can be great again.

I agree it will not fall. This will definitely begin a depression though. The domino effect is going to be a disaster here. I don't understand why some people think all of a sudden we will be locked up slaves? If anything there will be more people speaking out and trying to create change.

The Tea Party marchers on Washington represent the average Americans.

If that were true, there would be a hella lot more of them in the streets.


Perhaps the true, Average American has a vastly different idea of what freedom means.


Perhaps that idea is centered on the belief that one's personal comfort is not more important than the health and well-being of one's friends, neighbors, community and Nation.




Perhaps True Americans believe the concept of "We, the people",

not just "I, the individual".

Quoted for truth. I couldn't of said it better my self.
[sarcasm]Oh guess what? You're socialist now! Because you talked about "we" instead of "I". [/sarcasm]

problem is average voter in america dosnt even know what day of a week is it ... and they up there love it

I think it is funny that some people are saying "down with America" and all that jazz. for example saying we don't want this bill passed because we don't want Obama to have a "win". Its ok, I'm 15 and i KNOW that obama is a Marxist, communist hypocrite. You say that WE are easily manipulated, I form my own opinions and i actually know information. And for saying down with America is selfish. And yelling like little children debating nations is immature! Ok, you wanna live in your dirt hole without coke and microwaves don't cry to me. THE POINT IS that AMERICA IS A NATION!!! How would you know what it would be like without them. and why blame us. You say we have chains on you and you want the health care bill passed so we get the freedoms you have. HEALTH CARE IS CHAINS, ALONG WITH TAX RETURNS! You know that minorities get more money back at the end of the year so they will depend on Uncle Sam more? Also, Health care is a way for them to get average people to depend on America! So what you cant do this or that. IT IS AMERICA. You have your nation, we have ours. the point is. if you dont like it, CRY about it.

just because public healthcare would be an option doesn't mean you have to use it there will still be private healthcare and if we can spend half a trillion a year on our military we should be able to provide healthcare to our less fortunate citizens i dont understand what the big deal is and people waiting to see a doctor for six months is in my opinion better than those same people never getting to see a doctor because they cant afford it.

I understand this is a point of view for many of you. But have you forgotten that Usa have had everything under controll since the start of the 1900s. In 1954 all the leaders of the world gathered and made a deal of making something called the NWO. For making the NWO alot of changes has to be done. What you are all experiencing is a over 60 years old plan going perfectly into pieces.

For the usa,bill clinton,bush,obama have done one amazing job to actually fullfill this plan.

Its brilliant.

Do you denounce such things in the name of liberty and our Constitution, for an ACTUAL greater good come tomorrow?



You already know my answer.

I'm about to get controversial.

There here, this statement and what it alludes to is America's greatest problem. The belief that the individual, and the individual's right is more important than the whole is what drives the essence of corruption. Do you really think that your so called "liberty" and "individual freedom" is what is going to make everything work together so nicely?

Don't you see? America started off with these things called "freedom" and "liberty" and now look where it brought you. These corporations, these selfish people, driven by the same motives as the individual albeit with more power than the individual but still using the same rules, corrupted a once great nation.

Continue to cry for individuality and you won't see change. You'll see more of the same.

The greater good is caring for the entire population, social and economic well being for all, rights for all, but most importantly, consideration and care for all. Individualism does not promote this. And that is what is America, and the rest of the world's problem is.

Spoken very well, and a point I have been trying to make also. Don't expect ANYONE to grasp the concept though. It's hopeless. I have lived in two other countries in my lifetime, though American born and most of my life here. NOWHERE else in the world are people SO SELFISH, and SO SELF-CENTERED. We are so easily manipulated and controlled through this constant self-seeking. One of the things that really bothers me is how Americans talk about HOW GREAT this country is, while making excuses for it, not realizing the rest of the world doesn't agree with that sentiment. There are SOME GREAT countries in the world that don't start with "I"
America was a GREAT IDEAL...but looking back through the HISTORY & the TRUTH...that's all it EVER WAS... a great idea which was NEVER realized from DAY 1. Americans refuse to see that truth and truth about a pretty UGLY past. America is not DEAD...it was never really born.

Just a heads up the vote is incoming now. Probably less than 30 minutes and it will be set in stone for now.

American's FEAR "SOCIALISM" a term created to mean something EVIL, by way of bi-partisan propaganda. The idea of UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE seems like a social program to many folks.
Yes, the very idea of sharing anything with another human being is disgusting to so many in the United States.
