The left loves to hold up Sweden as a paragon of the entitlement system. Sweden like the rest of Europe will finally have to fall on their sword. Then watch these little leftie good-for-nothings riot. It'll be sweet retribution to see them finally work for their progress and lifestyles.

"Physicians as a group are leaner, fitter and live longer than average Americans. Male physicians keep their cholesterol and blood pressure lower. Women doctors are more likely to use hormone-replacement therapy than their patients. Doctors are also less likely to have their own primary care physician -- and more apt to abuse prescription drugs. ...

"Only 2% to 4% of physicians smoke cigarettes, compared to roughly 24% of the U.S. population."

My dad was a physician and just died at age 97---like myself he was very mentally fit and just finished writing a book.

I'm lean with a cholesterol at about 150 and a blood pressure of 120/68. I rarely visit a physician and avoid the medical community since it's dangerous to your health. I don't abuse prescription drugs, don't smoke and drink alcohol very occasionally.

Also, unlike rcade and other lefties, most physicians are very rational with a high level of cognitive reasoning.

Easily explained: They have to put up with men.

And all this time I thought Doc was a male----my bad.

The ACA was one big lie. It was also the classic "law of unintended consequences". The act was not understood by little 0 or congress when passed----I wonder why we have representatives and a POTUS in the first place. Danni etal love being lied to since their lives are probably one big lie to begin with; many of the rest of us believe in integrity and honesty, those good old fashioned virtues. Sadly, they're lacking in this country and we're paying a huge price now and in the future for that. But you reap what you sow. So, screw the unions; they fell for the Alinsky tactics as did others.

I'll agree with the assessment of idiots. I've said constantly the Obungler is incompetent and I believe we've seen a dose of it. He just exists to fill an office----his administration is out of control and he has no way of stopping it since he doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

This government is trying desperately to shut down any challenge to the dollar, the reserve currency. It ultimately won't work. They're currently driving down the price of paper gold yet there are lines of people in Asia and other countries buying gold at a large premium. Eventually real gold will separate in price from the paper gold controlled and manipulated by the bullion banks and the Federal Reserve. Real gold is being withdrawn from the COMEX and JPMorgan by the tons. Also from the etf GLD. Once this corrupt government can't manipulate gold any longer along with other changes taking place globally, we're done as the holders of the reserve currency. The sooner the better. It'll put a stop to the corruption in congress, our POTUSES, and the Federal Reserve.

You got to admit this administration is entertaining. It's completely unraveling and will finally be seen for what it is---an emperor without any clothes. Even the MSM won't be able to run any interference for it anymore-----the keystone cops are loose.

This is the reason you folks are so desparate to pin something on obama. But it's gonna backfire. The repub leadership knows the wingnut brand is dying.

Poor Kudzoo; he thought when Obungler was elected, he would be on the offense; now he's on the defense team with an unbelievable disastrous and incompetent administration----it's been a long time since the slogan "hopey and changey" was bantered about. It's just a memory from Kudzu's "dreams of my father" which have turned out to be "nightmares of my mother".

The demonratic dream team for 2016: Weiner/Holder.

Matsop said early in this administration that it was the most dangerous to our freedoms in a long time as far as administrations are concerned. I don't think it's about Obungler since he's pretty much incompetent and a puppet that's sent out to do teleprompting readings. It's about the people around him. Obungler isn't in control of much---I know many in Washington DC that say this administration is totally about imagery and is out of control since it's not well organized internally. Obungler has had personally nothing to do with any of the legislation passed during his administration except to pick up a heavy pen to sign it. What a gig.

Lefties should relax and become more progressive. As a conservative, I have no problem with these students availing themselves of the limited grass there is.

Hicks is another sacrificial lamb while the deviants aren't held accountable---just another day in Washington politics. This country deserves all its' current and coming difficulties just because of the depths of immorality it's sunk to The responsible, and honest citizenry along with savers are being held hostage while the corrupt run our government.

I stopped watching NBC, ABC, and CBS in college when it was obvious they manipulated issues and events to reflect their bias. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence understands they don't report news objectively but editorialize omitting facts and info not fitting their slanted objectives.

Anybody that accepts a conspiracy theory for 9/11 other then a bunch of whack jobs running planes into towers makes those whack jobs look like they were completely normal individuals.

This whole event is causing an unraveling of the Obama's early administration's attempt to create a foreign policy of appeasement of the Arab world by avoiding pointing the finger at radical Islam's/Al Quaeda's terrorism.

Obama's drone policy suggest otherwise, does it not?

No, it doesn't. Obama's administration is based on obfuscation, opagueness, and speaking one way and acting differently. It's attempting to offer an olive branch while underneath reacting no differently then a Bush administration would----whereas, Bush was in your face and didn't play word games, the Obama administration plays word games but continues the same policy agenda. Should this surprise anyone----no, since there is philosophically no difference between the 2 parties since they answer to the same power brokers on a foreign policy and economic policy perspective. That's how they keep the American public in their place; by appearing to offer a choice where a choice really doesn't exist. One segment of the population roots for their guy thinking they're going to get something different while the other side roots for their guy; the sad truth is there is no basic hope and change since the American people are duped over and over and over and over......it's been going on for years and that's why we are now economically in the position we're in.

Of course, the truth should come out. When it does, it'll again show an incompetent administration with a certain schtick they attempted to maintain by pointing out a causal movie for the Benghazi event along with the manipulation of documents/facts by those familiar with the true cause. This whole event is causing an unraveling of the Obama's early administration's attempt to create a foreign policy of appeasement of the Arab world by avoiding pointing the finger at radical Islam's/Al Quaeda's terrorism.

So, one has a choice; to either live in fantasy land (opaque land) and continue the charade or want our government to deal with reality, truth, and transparency. I have a feeling a large part of our population would just as soon continue to live in fantasy land and be lied to on a perpetual basis both from a foreign policy and economic policy standpoint.

Years ago most of the sheep had no clue as to the media bias of the big 3; NBC, CBS, and ABC. The best thing that happened to media was cable. No longer can the MSM hide the fact they're just an extension arm of the demonrats---at least now they sit out there like the boil they are and we all know it. Maybe that boil will be lanced some day and they can become real news stations instead of propaganda machines.

It's all about keeping us in bondage.

And it all started in 1913 with the Federal Reserve----and now your children and grandchildren will live in bondage.

Another great government program----anyone see a pattern. We are so screwed. The big government pig needs to be taken out of the sty and placed on a diet.

So you decrease the interest rates----has anyone figured out what the saying "follow the money" means----someone has to pick up the difference---the universities? the taxpayer? There's no free lunch.

Benghazi, IRS oppression, horrible economy, increasing regulations, increasing debt, ongoing deficits, consistent pattern of lying, government opaqueness---a government in disarray-----that's the bad news; it only can get better.

much like they did with the Berlin Wall.

Or the walls of Jericho.

Hey, it's great seeing these fledgling lefties handed their sorry rearends. I'm starting to like Mexicans more and more.

You guys are a joke---they occurred during a war (not after) and were not of the magnitude of Benghazi---nice try---you should be ashamed of yourselves. Hillary blew it along with the Obungler (who was in all likelihood not even on top of it and sacked out). It just shows the incompetence again of this administration and the fact that amateurs exist in the WH. It would be laughable if it didn't involve the loss of life of 4 people left hanging out in the breeze.

President Obama made the list as well but came in at number 65.

After Benghazi, he'll be lucky to make the list. Although I didn't agree with Carter on some things, I believe he had more integrity then any of our recent Presidents.
