my primary care physician thinks that people will be healthier if they get yearly checkups, something that is normally skipped because the uninsured can't afford doctor visits.

I'm really tired of these teabagging nutjobs and their 'boogieman' called healthcare. God forbid we all can get to a doctor and afford healthcare regardless of how much we make. How bad can a country be that allows THAT to happen??!!

Yes, it is THAT Bryan Fischer..

Jillian Rayfield November 17, 2010

Bryan Fischer, the “Director of Issues Analysis” for the conservative Christian group the American Family Association, was unhappy yesterday that President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to a soldier for saving lives. This, Fischer wrote on his blog, shows that the Medal of Honor has been “feminized” because “we now award it only for preventing casualties, not for inflicting them...”

Giunta, the first living Medal of Honor winner of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, braved heavy gunfire to pull a fellow soldier to cover and rescued another who was being dragged away by insurgents...

He's taken the Rush Limbaugh definition of the purpose of the military, WORD for WORD, to heart:

Fischer’s take? “So the question is this: when are we going to start awarding the Medal of Honor once again for soldiers who kill people and break things so our families can sleep safely at night?”

Another effort to give credence to his not-quite-in-the-Bible teachings:

“We have feminized the Medal of Honor,” Fischer wrote. He also quoted General Patton: “Gen. George Patton once famously said, ‘The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other guy die for his.’” (Actually, Patton doesn’t say anything about the other guy: “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”)

Go to the link. He also calls for the extinction of grizzly bears...

This is the Conservapedia page on this, although I hope it's a spoof, I can't tell. But by looking at search results for Bible verses I've known for years, I'm finding results that always point right. Our language and culture online have been adulterated by bots:

Right-wing religious fanatic, obsessed with other people's conduct and beliefs, self-loathing 5 star hypocrite, blow dried hair. Yep, and if he wears a diamond pinky ring he fits the profile to a tee.

That's insanity. The reason that there aren't GP's is not the universal health care system, it's the non-universal medical education system. Doctors specialize because, after their education is finished, they have to pay back major loans that were needed for that education.

Why the hell does anyone listen to these asshats?
