Screw you, Jimmy Carter

I am fed up with being labelled a racist for any opinion I have that might be a teeny weeny bit different from President Obama's. FED. UP. Okay, so I don't relish the idea of a national health care plan because it still won't cover everyone and my past experience with Medicare and Medicaid leads me to think it will probably be a big nightmarish screw-up. So, obviously, I am a racist.

But hey, why stop at my political opinions?

In fact, why bother insinuation at all? Let's just come out and say definitively that everything I do is done because of my damn dirty racist mind.

Let's see. Well, I play classical guitar and recently a lot of Bach and Chopin. Obviously, that classical music is the purview of the oppressive European white culture. If I weren't such a racist, I'd be playing Scott Joplin songs, or Villa-Lobos. I'm such a narrow minded jerk. And a racist.

Oh, and I hate my cat Sparky. He's black. 'Nuff said. Racist.

Oh and let's talk about Halo Action Figure Theater. Who is my current villain? Michael "Blackie" Black (no relation to Michael "Burnie" Burns) and the action figure is black. Need I go further? I think not. Obviously my entire comic is laced with racist themes. I make myself puke.

So after being shown the true nature of my ways by the American media (and Jimmy Carter) I just want everyone to know that everything I do is racially motivated. Including writing this journal entry. It's all probably because of my subconscious deep-seated need to come clean about my foul bigoted soul.

I'm going to stomp away now... because I'm racist... and I probably won't even have tacos for dinner like my son asked, because they come from Tacoland, and not my beloved America. From now on I'm only eating bacon with mayonnaise on white bread. Ooh! I should also take up smoking and prejudicially buy some guns. I hope I rot in hell.

If thats the case than I'm racist for hating the driver who almost hit me today and happens to be white. Seriously though your not racist, you just have your own opinion which were all entitled to and who does Jimmy think he is calling my friends racist.

While he has redeemed himself somewhat with his humanitarian efforts since, Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents of the 20th century. I'd consider the source.

Opinions are all well and good but really does that coincide with your 'racist' ideals? I mean they are letting you think freely and speak your mind... wow how very unracist of them... or you or... I don't know... maybe because I'm posting in this I'm supporting racism is that the case? Can you be racist by proxy? Is that even possible?

maybe by winking three times I'm starting a new racist trend...

I'd settle for any kind of reform that actually lets me buy health insurance. And I mean reasonably-priced insurance that actually covers stuff, like migraine medicine and allergy shots and our chiropractor. I'm not poor, and I'm not unreasonable. But my husband is a full-time Ph.D. student and I work for a small business that can't really afford good health insurance.

To buy any kind of plan on our own, it would cost at least $600 per month to cover both of us. That includes a huge deductible that's beyond the realm of sanity, crappy prescription coverage, and some of our pre-existing conditions would be excluded.

Ugh. I don't know what the solution is, but the "system" we have now sucks.

The guy is, what, 88?

He's just babbling.

Personally, I think that the best health care reform would be to make Insurance companies, hospitals and just about any company involve in the health care industry as true nonprofit with a salary cap at about $500,000 a year for the top brass.

No perks.
No "incentives"
No bonuses.

And any profit gets funneled back into the R&D for the section of the industry that you work in. Insurance company profits would go into a pool that would fund health care research, and I mean real research, not the bogus "hey, everyone's fat" type of research, we know about that already.

That kind of thing.

In reply to PrincessNybo, #4: Yeah, I am on COBRA and I pay about $400 a month for my premiums. On the other hand, I can go see any doctor I want. shrugs

You are RACIST! Just look at your post... all these little BLACK letters on a much larger and dominant WHITE background!

I feel the exact same way. Some day, we're going to have a non-white president that we can openly criticize without being called nazis/racists/bigots/evil. I just don't think that day will happen in the next 3 and a half years. Oh, and because I've made Dean's List, I'm reinforcing the stereotype that white people can be intelligent and therefore black people aren't. RACIST!

oh my friggen God. Can you please be in my brain a little bit more?!? The biggest problem that I have is that we don't really need healthCARE reform, we need health INSURANCE reform. But nothing that is REQUIRED. But what do I know, I'm a racist too, i guess... Darn me for not wanting to pay taxes to carry someone else's ass through life.

I'd love to have an honest debate about the issues affecting our country. There are plenty of people on both sides with reasonable points of view, and, honestly, they need to hash it out on the issues.

Where folks run into problems, IMO, is when they take the debate outside of the issues. Jimmy Carter, for instance, but also the birthers, and the people more interested in the names they call Obama then they are on the actual issues. There are certainly people with racial issues with out president, but it's a mistake to lump them together with folks that have legit policy grievances.

Eh, who cares if you're a racist? As long as you're barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, that's all you need to worry about, sweetie pie! Sexism 4 evar! ;)

You being the Opti-whatsit should know about the dents in this health care plan, I knew from the start that this was going to be a bad idea but no one listens to the whole scheme any more just keywords like affordable and reform and then complain when they really find out what it does. The new health care reform is socialist which means docs and dentists get paid less so there is no incentive for them to do the high risk surgeries and actually help people. Then there is the waiting list and that will be oh joy when someone has a malignant tumor and has to just hope they are on the lottery. I also want to know who called you a racist, and then sock them in the mouth for being so entirely wrong. Oh and I guess screw granny too because she is a racist and we need to pull the plug on her because we're spending too many resources on her. I say goodbye to all these Obamabots, Russia should send some nukes our way and end this country before there is pandemics, or martial law, or healthcare reform, or socialism, and we completely lose sight of the foundations this country was built on.

You forgot waving your Dixie flag. My work has a health insurance pool, but it would cost per month the same amount I pay for rent since there's only like two dozen people who participate. I dunno if eating is better than knowing I'll be able to pay to get myself patched up if some drunken moron runs my bike over.

I have no idea if Jimmy is more delusional or more insightfull than I have given him credit for in the past. I think that people try really hard to find reasons for things that just are. Some people support Obama, some don't. Some support some of his programs but not all. Sometimes there is no overarching and sinister reason. sometimes you have to look at an individuals opinions and reasons on a case by case basis to understand why.

Anyway, universal health care works. Period. Canada has a system that treats everyone first and figures out how to break down the cash between governtment funding (taxes), readily avaiable and cheap insurance, and out of pocket espences (20% of all prescriptions under my coverage) later. Any system is only as good as the people runnign it are smart and well intentioned. Do with that as you see fit.
