Wow! More heartwarming Christianity from Free Republic

[BlackCoffeeSound]

Bitching about a child getting a kidney transplant. Yep, Jesus sure is on their side alright!

1. What?

I refuse to click on a link to that hell of slime and hatred, but WTF???? How can you bitch about a child getting a kidney transplant?? What is their objection to it?

[burythehatchet]

3. I swear sometimes I believe the only objective is to get

someone besides their 40 members to go to their page.

[Kurovski]

9. LOL

That was good.

[BlackCoffeeSound]

4. what else?!

It's going into *gasp* an IMMIGRANT which means their tax dollars paid for it! And unless it's going in a white boy, they ain't too keen on the idea.

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Ahhhh, gotcha. That would explain it.

Can't be having any tax dollars go to anyone with brown skin, now can we?

God. No sense of humanity or decency in those CREATURES at all, is there?

[neebob]

11. Yeah, no thanks

Whenever I go there, it crashes my Internet Explorer.

[Kipepeo]

12. here's the article about the boy getting a transplant

And here is what lies beneath the myth of "compassionate conservative:"


It just blows my mind.....I'm almost speechless.

by MissouriConservative

Well fortunately, kidneys grow on trees, so no one else was bumped to the back of the waiting line.

by skip_intro

I hope they send flowers to the funeral of the American who had to die of kidney failure because of this disgrace.

by Finalapproach29er

Just more proof that the USA is the greatest and most humane country in the world.

It's great to be a foreigner I wonder if a more traditional American can get the same treatment, I often times see news stories of "fund-raisers" for terminal children dying of cancer and read stories of parents having to sell their homes to pay the hospital bills. I'm just wondering why many of these children aren't getting free medical care?

by Coleus

Dang immigrants and their kidneys.

by Free and Armed

It's nice to know that America and Americans will pick up this tab. We are the welfare capital of the world. Wonder how he got bumped up the list....I hear it is a long one.

by MissouriConservative

Many people die every day waiting for one.

by Coleus

I can see federal law advocating helping America's poor with bills like this....but illegals as well? Doesn't that put American law at odds with itself?

It's illegal to aid a criminal, but that's exactly what federal law is advocating....aiding criminals.

by MissouriConservative

Heck, if our borders were guarded we wouldn't have this problem.

by Coleus

I wonder if a more traditional American can get the same treatment,
An American with no insurance would have been told get lost.

by FITZ

They didn't want the inconvenience or any kind of wait. It worked --- they went straight to the front of the line --- and it's completely free for them.

by FITZ

[BlackCoffeeSound]

13. High-larious!

"I wonder if a more traditional American can get the same treatment,
An American with no insurance would have been told get lost.

by FITZ "


But by God, I'll be damned if this country tries to implement National Health Care!!!

[tsuki]

40. FITZ is correct about the no insurance. In FL, Medicaid will not

pay for chemo, just the drugs so you can "die" humanely.

Their is real anger on this thread, but directed at the wrong place. Good little Bushbots that have been brainwashed that national health care is BAD. But somewhere in their brain lurks the dissident thought that no health care is BAD.

The problem is refocusing their anger. Why are Americans, now 45 million strong without health care? Why does an insurance CEO have to make 94 million a year while they do without? Is compassionate conservatism the Kevorkian Option?

[American Tragedy]

18. AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

<<I'm just wondering why many of these children aren't getting free medical care?>>

We've been wondering that for a long time, buddy!

[cornermouse]

38. Usually its the wealthy, connected, and/or famous

that get bumped to the front of the line.

[AngryOldDem]

26. He's not one of "us"

He's one of those illegal border-hoppers.

That kidney should have gone to an All-American kid.

[burythehatchet]

2. What is this obsession with people wanting DU to know

what those pricks are saying. Does anyone think we'll be surprised? Freerepublic is a wasteland that is already irrelevant. If they had any intelligent points to forward, I'll be the first to read and listen, but by definition they are devoid of thought.

[BlackCoffeeSound]

7. sorry

Yeah, I'll try to knock off reading and posting their crap here. Its like a damn tabloid magazine: devoid of any worth or integrity but like a car wreck, facinating to watch sometimes. I mean, being pissed off about a child getting a kidney is almost freaking to the point of being satirical of themselves but they're damn serious about it.

[burythehatchet]

10. no sweat

we're all a little shell-shocked here and there are a lot of trolls walking about. The point is that we feel good about ourselves as it is. We shouldn't have any need to validate that by reading about the rantings of our intellectually challenged bretheren.

[0007]

21. I hope that's a commitment you'll keep!

With all of FR issues, this one is child's play compared to turning Mecca into a glass parking lot.

[davhill]

19. It's important

They have captured a significant portion of the electorate. We have to know something about their mindframe if we are to be successful in combating their evil.

[hyphenate]

22. Actually, most of us have seen

their mindset, either in real life or with people who are loud, nasty and trolling in the past. It's very simple, just like they are: they're ignorant, intolerant and utterly and completely without morals or merit. Those who claim intelligence are "Bush" repukes because they are greedy, insensitive, bigoted assholes. Those we know who can't claim a high IQ are just plain ignorant.

The word "nuanced" has been used a lot in the past couple of years, and I think it applies most aptly to "Bush" pukes. They have no nuances. They're transparent. They stand for a set of values that the devil himself might take pause and question. There isn't a decent soul who supports GWB. People who HAVE souls have no problem distinguishing the good and evil of the repuke party.

It was most apparent in this most recent election. Ignorance, stupidity and intolerance were the seeds of terror spawned by the repukes under Karl Rove. They managed to hoodwink at last 20% of the population with their lies and their deceitful ads and other propaganda, but there was a good 29% that voted for GWB simply because they were assholes. End of story.

[davhill]

39. A lot of Germans wrote off Hitler and his Brownshirts

As a result they were unable to combat his appeal. We need to understand what is happening to our country. There are nuances. Some vote Republican only because they feel sorry for all the aborted little babies. Some want to return to 19th century robber Barron capitalism. Some think that life should be like a Rambo movie.

[burythehatchet]

24. Their mindframe, as you put it, is not a really tough one to figure out

Matter over mind
Social and economic darwinism
An unquenchable thirst to plug the black hole in their soul.

What's not to understand?

[Bouncy Ball]

30. I live in Texas

I've seen and heard enough of their "mindframe" to last me a couple of lifetimes, thankyouverymuch.

Just like the right wing pundits, their greatest fear is to BE IGNORED.

To not even be mentioned. To not even be a blip on anyone's radar. To hear crickets chirping while holding a dead mike in their hands.

THAT is their greatest fear.

These people ADVOCATE NUKING the Middle East. They advocate GREED and MURDER and are perfectly ok with election problems.

They don't need to be "understood" they need to be SHUNNED, they need to be MARGINALIZED so we can get back to some common sense and human decency in this country.

[shanti]

28. thank you very much!

this irks me too. if i wanted to read their drivel, i'd go there!! :grr:

[burythehatchet]

34. Om shanti!

:)

[shanti]

35. peace to you too!

;-)

[Bouncy Ball]

29. Hear, hear.

I couldn't really give less of a shit what those turds think. They DON'T think, they just open their mouths and hateful shit spews out.

[Kipepeo]

5. good god

Those people don't have souls.

It made me sick just reading that kind of xenophobia, on proud display. So sad.

[The_Casual_Observer]

6. One needn't read the posts to correctly predict what kind of disgusting

remarks would be made. Who cares what that bunch of criminals think.

[LadyRaivan]

8. Seems like their biggest concern

isn't about someone losing (or gaining) their life, but about who is going to pay the bill. Me, me, mine, mine, my, my, my.

There is something morally and spiritually wrong with these people.

[traco]

14. Seems like they can be

such a hateful breed!

[ET Awful]

15. I love this reply

Hey buddy, us evil liberals have been trying to get that to happen for years, and you CONservatives have fought it at every turn.

[Skittles]

17. lol

that prhrase "more tradional Americans" (read: white) about says it all, doesn't it?

[Skittles]

16. yeah and I'm sure all these rat bastards are organ donors

riiiiiiiiiight

[Zynx]

20. That's what I call compassion there.

They make me sick.

[REP]

23. It Is A Little Annoying To Us Who Have To Cough Up Our Own 51K

Not that the kid got a kidney, but that breaking the law was rewarded with something beyond the reach of many who did nothing wrong beyond having failing kidneys. Those people have to make do with dialysis because even if Medicare does cover 80%, the 20% is beyond them (and they're only covered for antirejection drugs for 36 months). But many of those people aren't chubby-cheeked teens - they're older black men, Native Americans, and sometimes even middle-aged women.

[txaslftist]

32. NONSENSE>>

This is Freeper spin.

The fact is that an ailing child or adult with failing kidneys is put on the list based on need, survivability and likelihood/non-likelihood of rejection. Finances don't enter into the list.

Sure, having a huge chunk of cash can grease the skids so you can be moved to the front of the line, but lack of cash/lack of insurance will not keep you off of the list.

Bottom line, a child got a kidney and a chance to live. It hardly matters what his nationality was. Or are we saying that the hospitals should become an arm of the US government?

The Freepers are trying to connect the dots on two separate pieces of paper, as usual.

I wonder, though, does anyone know how many hits they get a day versus how many we get? Whose share is increasing and who is declining?

I suspect that DU is growing while Freeperville is becoming a ghost town, but I don't know that for sure. Does anyone know?

[REP]

37. Getting Listed Is Not the Same As Getting the Surgery

You deliberately misunderstood.

The family in question broke the law and was rewarded for it.

US kidney patients who can't afford the cost of the transplant surgery they are responsible for or the anti-rejection meds don't have wealthy business people throwing cash at them, so they make do on dialysis until they can't survive the dialysis anymore. Then they die.

It's not about denying the kid his tx - it's about how many adult citizens are dying on dialysis (which is not as much fun as you may have heard) because they can't afford the tx surgery and the drugs. It's about illegal actions being rewarded, and it's about the unfairness of the system to all - cute teens and uncute adults.

You have made a lovely straw man; too bad it doesn't fit the facts.

[adigal]

25. Many of them are evil people

I guess they will not be taken up to heaven in their earthly bodies, glorified of course, during the Rapture. They will be stuck down here with us suckers, fighting the anti-Christ.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. New Free Republic motto

"Free Republic: Redefining "Psychotic Monster" since 2001"

[Cleita]

33. My husband, who just died, received dialysis through

Medicare, which gave him five more years on earth than if he hadn't gotten dialysis. We too could not have afforded the very expensive treatment if there was no government program for it. We can look forward to our country being like Mexico in the future, if the Republicans gut Medicare and Social Security as they plan to.

Maybe if that freeper's child or grandchild dies because the treatment was unaffordable except to the ultra-rich parasites on our economy, then maybe the scales might fall from their eyes so they can see the truth.

This has to be the most insensitive and cruel posting I have yet to see on Free Republic.

[Felix Mala]

36. Lots here to make you wonder what's in their heads

How 'bout the idiot who posted:

"I am keeping emotion out of this purely for the reason is that emotion clouds the issue."

Last time I checked, hatred was an emotion...
