Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

More than 200 million children worldwide under age 5 do not get basic health care, leading to nearly 10 million deaths annually from treatable ailments like diarrhea and pneumonia, a U.S.-based charity said Wednesday.

"Tell their parenst to get a job"

- DR Righties.

Something has to control the population.

Praise Jayzuzz they didn't get aborted as a two celled potential little Republican. We'd like to help them, but our mega-churches and private jets cost soo much to operate.

"Let's make sure these children are insured. That should include middle class 30 year old men making 60+ grand a year."

--DR Lefties

Abortion is a pre-emptive strike on such diseases.
Sincerely,
The Left

America ranks #27. Of course, when you're busy pouring $12 billion a month into supporting an Iranian shia theocracy in the ME, you can't afford to take care of your own folks.
We'll be ready to take care of our own in a 100 years.

Let's see, who did the article say came out with this information?

a U.S.-based charity said Wednesday.

Ok... and who gives the most to charities, the Left or the Right?

Conservatives More Liberal Givers

Well, I guess that means that NorthGuy talks out his ass, and Dumb_as_Rocks lives up to his name.

Yep,

DDT would prevent a lot of these deaths, but the Greenies won't let us use it....

Libs like to giv away my money, not theirs.

DDt prevents diareahh? God, let's spray the Drudge Righties and save a few billion bits and bytes.
And I didn't know DDT fought pneumonia. The science of the Right continues to amaze me. You'll never get to command a star ship that way Ryker.

And Moon-giving to your church to keep the A/C on isn't the same as helping kids stay alive-from your article:
"America is largely divided between religious givers and secular nongivers, and the former are disproportionately conservative. One demonstration that religion is a strong determinant of charitable behavior is that the least charitable cohort is a relatively small one -- secular conservatives."

If you think I'm talking out my ass, its probably because your ears are too close to it.

More b.s.

Libs believe in social programs and infrastructure investment that benefits the vast majority while Rightwing assholes believe in corporate welfare and tax cuts for the well off minority.

There is a boot stomping down on their faces.

Whenever it gets close they attempt to kiss it.

They are beyond fools.

Their so-called "Culture of Life" is really a Culture of Lies and Death.

They are toadies to the loathsome.

Most unwell.

Be Well.

/More than half the world lives on a dollar a day. The US has helped, more than any other country on earth, to assure this status quo continues indefinitely all rhetoric to the contrary.

What does a job have to do with it? If the illegals can go to a hospital and get free care, why cannot the others?

Maybe Hillary can expand her universal health care proposal to everyone else in the world. All they have to do is sneak across the border and they will be eligible. Oh, I forgot, they already do that.

Going to be millions more dying of starvation, so that liberals can feel good about themselves filling up the gas tanks of their SUV's with corn.

"Going to be millions more dying of starvation, so that liberals can feel good about themselves filling up the gas tanks of their SUV's with corn"

Well, then let's switch to hemp.

Oops, now it's the conservatives in the way.

Wow...that was easy.

--NORTHGUY3


I must have been seeing things when I saw all the community service churches have done in my area. I didn't realize that all those funds I thought I saw them using to feed people at home and overseas, fund research for fighting different diseases, renovate womens' safe houses, and give bicycles to underprivilaged kids were really going into the utilities bill for all the A/C they were using.

What does a job have to do with it? If the illegals can go to a hospital and get free care, why cannot the others?

It's along walk to NY from ethiopia. I'm still waiting to see why the Righties are so proud of being 27th in keeping our kids alive. I expect a child is only important to them until it pops out of the uterous and ceases to be politically useful.

If those Idiots on the Religious Right believe that America is God's Country, do they really think that GOD would ask us to continue to live as we do while the World's children die from DIARRHEA AN PNEUMONIA?

10 Million Children die from these illinesses, you wonder how much it would take to stop this maddness, maybe a week expense of the military in Iraq.....Someday we will have a President that will understand that we are a Nation blessed an as such much is expected of us, GOD how we have failed you!!

NG3--where is the link to show that the US is ranked 27th?

Murphy

Murphy,

It was a World Health Organization study, covering (iirc) 2005.

And the US came in 37th, not 27th.

www.photius.com

Ok--I can see how it would be confusing to mistake United Arab Emirates with the United States. ;o)

But this is for 1997--not 2005?? (go to stats compiled at the top "blue link")

And this seems to be subjective criteria..

How moving. So how much have you given--personally--to world child relief? Or is that another one of those things you expect government to do for you?

Our charities and the US gov give more for this effort then the rest of the world COMBINED. Of course, the dr left doesn't let facts get in the way of their hatred!

That means in the last 5 years 50 million kids have died, that is 1/5 of the US populations, so in 10 years 100 million, that is 2 percent of the world population..That is impossible! is the same as "there are 20 million new homeless every year" thing that cam out in the 1990's where someone figured out that in something like 16 years the entire world would be homeless

10 million out of 7 billion, thats = 0.00142857143


So now what that's 0.14 percent, or 14 per thousand. Sounds to me like it can be reduced, but it will never equal ZERO......

And Moon-giving to your church to keep the A/C on isn't the same as helping kids stay alive-from your article

Nice try, NorthGuy. Many, MANY charities given to by conservatives are religious founded and based. For example, Catholic missions do charity work in the community as well as all over the world to help people. Then there is the Salvation Army. As a matter of fact, if you read the article you would see that conservatives give more in EVERY WAY, including non-monetary support such as blood donations.

If you think I'm talking out my ass, its probably because your ears are too close to it.

No, I think that because that is what your head is stuck up. Try pulling it out before answering next time.

As harsh at is seems that is reality and while would love to prevent it, if half had children and extrapolating that forward over a 50 year period it would adds 1 billion to the worlds population.

Remembering that most of these are born into the worlds poorest areas then how are the going to survive.

"If you think I'm talking out my ass, its probably because your ears are too close to it.

And they call ME retarded.

And they call ME retarded.

Yes they do, and judging by your posts it is for good reason.

So if the world adds 1 billion every 50 years and 10 million die every year that means in 50 years of the 1 billion born 500 million will die..To me it sounds like nature is "thinning out the herd" it's called the circle of life. It's like those whiny Indians complaining, "that is what happens when you bring a tomahawk to a gun fight"...LOL, I crack myself up..

If you're talking about "thinning out the herd" then you're saying that peop[le are no better than cattle. Right?

I don't see what the big deal is. The world will produce more childred to replace the one's lost. Besides, once Hillary gets her health care plan enacted we can enroll all of them. Lets just hope there are enough Republicans to fund the program.

Ah Yas......... another statistic with no facts to back up the numbers.... What a lot of crap....

Well, I have statistics : 99 % of readers on this site will believe those made-up , picked out of the air numbers....

Talk about the dumming of America !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to forgive Ryker for reading material other than what is posted on DR. He is, infact, correct that malaria is a leading cause of death world wide claiming more than a million live per year of which about 850K are children.

Malaria kills more people world wide than HIV, for example.

I guess the righties will continue to amaze you if you only get your info from DR.
