    Mitt Romney On Obamacare: 'I'm Not Getting Rid Of All Of Health Care Reform'

    in Current Events and Hot Social Topics

    Posted

    I attended a political function today where Ted Cruz spoke. He'll probably be elected as the junior Senator from Texas. He vowed that one of his goals (along with like-minded others) is to repeal every word of 0bamacare as the highest priority.

    Well then, he must be a G.D.genius....and yes that is sarcasm just in case there was any doubt for the geniuses quoting their savior hero geniuses. The ignorance is astounding.

    getting PCC before the embassy knows my case??

    My I-130 is just approved. I checked from the reciprocity that after I request for the PCC, my PCC result will be 'sent directly to the Consulate General and/or immigration office specified on the application' in 4 weeks. Is it too early to request for the PCC now? The embassy still has no idea about my case. Please help.

    You will need your NVC case number when you request PCC in Hong Kong. In HK, the report is sent directly to the HK consulate, not the NVC. Also, important to note that if you have lived anywhere else in China for 6 months or more while you were over the age of 16, you will need to get the PCC from there as well. One PCC will cover all mainland China except HK and Macau.

    Does anybody remember this?

    It's a pity the author couldn't get his facts straight. The USA made sure it screwed the one major ally not to submit to foreign domination into the ground.

    You should note that the opinion was dated 1973...I note that your reply was in English and not German, if you catch my drift.

    From 1973, but might as well have been written today. No matter your politics, as an American, this has got to make you proud of our great country and our shining, selfless and often thankless contributions to world. Looking back after all these years though, thanks or not, doing the right thing and the pride we can feel for it, vastly outweighs any thanks we might have received and to this day sets an example for the rest of the world.

    The following is an opinion from one Canadian...Gordon Sinclair

    The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French, and

    British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in

    West Germany.

    It has declined there by 41 since 1971, and this Canadian

    Thinks it's time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and

    Possibly the least appreciated people in all the world.

    As long as sixty

    Years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on

    The Yellow River and the Yangtze.

    Well, who rushed in with men and money

    To help?

    The Americans did, that's who.

    They have helped control floods

    On the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges, and the Niger.

    Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is underwater, and no foreign land has sent

    A dollar to help.

    Germany, Japan, and to a lesser extent Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in

    Billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts.

    None of those countries is today paying even the interest on it's remaining debts to the

    United States.

    When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and

    Swindled on the streets of Paris--and I was there, I saw that.

    When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it's the United States that hurries

    In to help; Managua, Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples.

    So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by

    Tornadoes--nobody has helped.

    The Marshall Plan, the Truman Policy--all

    Pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries, and

    Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, war-mongering Americans. Now, I'd like to see just one of those countries

    That is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build it's own airplanes.

    Come on, now you--lets hear it!

    Does any country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing jumbo jet, the Lockheed Tristar, or the Douglas Ten.

    If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all

    International lines except Russia fly American planes?

    Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a woman on the moon? You

    Talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios.

    You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

    You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times, and safely home again.

    You talk about scandals, and the Americans put

    Theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at.

    Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded.

    They're right here on our streets in Toronto. Most of them, unless they're breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend up here.

    When the Americans get out of this bind, as they will, who could blame

    Them if they said to hell with the rest of the world.

    Let somebody else buy the bonds.

    Let somebody else build or repair foreign dams, or design foreign buildings that wont shake apart in earthquakes.

    When the railways of France and Germany and India were breaking down through age,

    It was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and

    The New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose.

    Both of them are still broke.

    I can name to you five thousand times when the

    Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

    Can you name to me even one time when someone raced to the help of the Americans in

    Trouble?

    I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

    Our neighbors have faced it alone.

    And I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around.

    They'll come out of this thing with their flag high, and when they do, they're entitled

    To thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present trouble.

    I hope Canada is not one of these.

    But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians.

    And finally, the American Red Cross was told at

    It's 48th annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

    This years disasters, with the year less than half over, have taken it

    All, and nobody, but nobody, has helped. --

    The other guys try to report some facts every now and then - not so over at Fixed News Channel...

    And just the head this off - this isn't a single occurence at Fixed News either. When the scandal over the Republican ex-Congressman Mark Foley broke, he was identified as a Democrat on Fixed News as well...

    As long as the government doesn't shut 'em down - no harm no foul.

    Freedom of speech applies to the President and the White House staff just as much as it belongs to the media.

    Nobody is looking to shut them down no matter how much Glenn Beck tries to suggest that. Put them in their place, now that's a different story...

    Democrat or Republican: Is there a better news program than The O'Reilly Factor?

    The answer is no.

    The O'Reilly Factor is a news program? :rofl:

    Well played, sir!!!! :thumbs:
