Why would it? They are one of the most oppressive governments that involves themselves, at the expense of liberty, in peoples lives, and many times at the expense of many lives they do this! If one wants to evoke what a free country should not be like why not bring up china?
Yes, they are. And America has had a economic policy for decades with China. China used to be a 'free' State? The people of China used to have 'Liberty'? All Governments engage in policies that are at the expense of its people. China has not requirement to allow the degree of 'Freedom' that Americans have.
Wake up, China's middle class is about the size of the U.S. population, we are falling behind. The decline of the U.S. is happening before our eyes, and all we can do with our time here int he states is bicker, and play political games. The Titanic is going down, and there is no State out there that is, or will help us.
Should a person conciously think "oh wait is Liu Chinese or Japanese or Taiwanese; if he's Chinese I can't bring up China. Oh wait someone might think I'm racist just because he's Asian, maybe I should use Pakistan or a country in Africa, oh wait if I say that am I being racist against the president now because he is of African decent?..."
I genuinely try not to accuse individuals of being racist, making racist statements, or having a racial undertone to their responses, but seriously, some things just are what they are, and when I see it, I point it out. It doesn't mean I am right, just saying.
I am not stating that China cannot be brought up. I just find it interesting that rarely did I hear anything about Kenya until Obama was running for President, and the statements made about Kenya, and how it relates to Obama was suggesting that he is not American, hence, the Birthers
.
Or maybe the constant "he's a racist" argument is bunk and the only racists in politics right now are the liberal progressives. I find it amusing that a big progressive liberal supporter, planned parenthood, has killed more African Americans than the KKK could ever have hoped to; yet one is vilified for being racist (not saying they weren't or aren't) and the other many prop up as a wonderful progressive helpful organization.
*Yawn* Ok, I will play along. NO!...maybe the Real Racists are Conservatives
Planned Parenthood offers many different types of services. Whether they are doing or referring females for abortion is a whole other discussion. I should point out though that every female I know who has utilized Planned Parenthood did not have insurance, could not receive health insurance, and would go in for things such as contraception, OBGYN, as well as other female health services.
You want to get rid of Planned Parenthood, then go at it.
Oh, BTW, Planned Parenthood also help men from what I understand, but they make up a small percentage of the individuals who utilize the services.
I have always found it interesting that Conservatives want there to be no abortion, but the unaborted babies that are born, well, Conservatives don't want to pay higher taxes, and offer services to help those children that would surely be born into poverty, and to parents that are either too young to support the child, addicted to drugs, or both.
