Liberal race issues

" And welcome it is Thursday morning. Tom still on vacation that nobody filling in today for Thomas he couldn't find anybody willing to take the -- today. About that. Maybe it's hot and it's -- he told them seeker. In May have to be nicer view Indio thing. How you doin' today. Enemy of iced tea or a little rain may be some clouds but clouds mix -- but still warm before things. This or two ago self. Maureen Dowd yesterday white man's last stand O'Reilly -- talking about the last thing. The liberals are are the race. Debaters. Liberals are the racial divide brand are they not. It isn't it liberals who were into race in this country who makes well what are the Sotomayor about her candidacy for the Supreme Court and her. Were told constantly the fact that she's going to be. Approved for the Supreme Court. Why are they so sure that she's going to be approved why were they so -- going into this process its because. She's Hispanic. That's why -- that's why she was nominate not not because they wanna celebrate diversity. But because they want to. Play. Racial politics."

" Its identity politics. Right that's why she was nominated they wanna play identity politics and they know they can get a liberal by. If the liberal is a minority. Unless you have a complete -- your target confirmed. I mean that's that's how they entered. Into the hearings -- Lindsey Graham who's supposed to be the loyal opposition. Announcing so nicely that everything that was going to fall was just bidder. With the hope that she might make a mistake. So that there would be some obvious momentum building against her. Has anyone mentioned. The fact. That she's a member of La -- Has anyone mentioned. That she is a bit out of Puerto Rican. Activists. And grandma. Has anyone mentioned this in the hearings. This is identity politics this he's using. Race. Ethnicity. As a shield. Yes -- no."

" Because. I'm sure like judge Alito said no there's you would suffered. Discrimination in your life as well so you could understand how they might feel. Whether they were right or wrong in the outcome in the -- that it in the keep in front."

" I hear ya ain't gonna -- up."

" I mean this is it did did that con the gets put on the American people I find shocking and dismaying. She's a member of the Puerto Rican legal defense and education fund which does what it's it's an ACLU. For Puerto Ricans. This group that she is a board member of for twelve years. Went out there and advocated to stop judge Bork's nomination. From going through. She is say an extremist in terms of where she has put her support privately. We know that she is somebody who shouldn't be on the court why because she's up Barack Obama's school of thinking. Which is that power the government should now be used not to. We view people blindly. Regardless of the color of their skin regardless of their ethnicity but -- do the opposite. If she'd be working to lift up those and empower those who don't have power."

" No sir I don't stands by the understanding of that statement. That I really nor other facts or other experiences. Because I have and have them."

" I do believe. That life experiences. Are important to the process of judging they help you to understand them listen. But that the law are requires a result enabled command you to the facts that are relevant. To the disposition of the."

" He's not guy admit Bobo oh god does not. -- there."

" She won't ignore them but you'll minimize them. Because she will seek certain outcomes this is the Barack Obama philosophy. And I think all the indications are that Sotomayor is on board with him why are re are you disgusted by Republicans sitting there going along with this scale. -- they're so scared of losing the Hispanic vote. Which is they haven't been doing that well with to begin with. Do you think that she was replacing more conservative. State put up or fight. I I think they've they would feel a little more emboldened because they you know they're kind of laying down because of that argument that she's just replacing another liberal. But I you know I'm concerned about the future makeup of the court. And what kind of people are on it. And I think that's -- Republican should be doing they should be standing up and fighting. About Sotomayor. This is a kidnapping of the America we know. You know it's fine if that's what the you want to have happen if that's what voters in this country wanna have happen. But we should be conscious of what is going on. Barack Obama did not yet. Vetted by the American people during the election process. John McCain would not stand up to him would not talk about his unholy alliances at the -- his career work not. I mean come on that would anybody else except a black man be able to hang around. With. Somebody like Reverend Wright for twenty years."

" And like why now."

" And and not face political damage for continue believe. There we heard that scared of skin color DC where things have gotten with the skin color is the if the game now. The game now is to use race as a shield it's not that you have less of a chance of getting elected if your black man in this country. You have a better chance. Because people are afraid to attack you you have a better chance of winning approval. Under the supreme court for being Hispanic even if you've. Engaged in racially based politics by involving yourself. In politically active organizations like this Puerto Rican education fun thing. These are. Race based ethnic based superiority organizations how do we get more of that pie because we are who we are. This is not about equality. Democrats do not care about equality. They want to steal from the rich to give to the poor that's democratic politics and they base it all around the racial divide. It is not what they make it appear to beat and we we've got to wake up and see it again act of god it's frustrating. It is so frustrating Deval Patrick today. Front page of the globe he wants more money for Charter Schools. What kind of game is going on here Charter Schools. Are the schools that work. Regular public schools controlled by the teachers' unions are the schools that fail. Deval Patrick has spent his governorship. Hurting Charter Schools and now he's proposing partially lifting the limits are Charter Schools so -- is gonna be a hero now. Because he wants a few more good schools and he wants to protect a few less spent schools. Bad education is the product to the Democrats -- went. When will they face the music for that. When will they face the music there's only one time they're gonna face -- music and that's when we stand up and saying now. We stand up NC can't do anymore. You can't do it were not gonna let you pursue bad policy -- health care reform. Big agenda going on now. For the Democrats and their got to push something through the question is what gets pushed through. This has the potential to be the most destructive legislation ever to be passed in this country. And up four after cap and trade. A cap and trade is minor league I think compared to because you're talking about so much money you're talking about 16 of the dollars -- spent in this country that. Democrats want to steal from the public sector and put through the government. That's their ultimate goal is have that controlled by the government don't believe anything else when you hear about this public insurance plan. That governor -- the president says."

" You have that cut coaxing. I promise you know he is very promising. What does he say it's an absolute. He says it's an absolutely you don't have to warrantless."

" There -- a few years of socialized medicine ration care limited choice how do you handle that you know what all I can -- just keep on repeating. The absolute. Promise that I have made. If you've got health insurance that you're happy with you've got -- doctor that -- we don't want you to do anything. We don't want you to change what we are saying is that if you don't have health insurance if you're underinsured that we're gonna lower your costs. We wanna give security people because a lot of folks out there who have health insurance. But what they don't realizes that the one job change -- or one lost -- away. From suddenly being in a very disastrous situation we wanna prevent them that's what this reform could."

" The area's -- well he says he's making capsule promised but Danny does or -- with the promises which is the best way to make a promise access. You promise the promise but then you don't deliver the words upon which the promised would be built. That's the president for you but what he's trying to make you think he's promising is that. This is not all ought to get rid of your health insurance it is it is the public -- the only reason to be pushing the public insurance plan. To compete against the private ones is knowing that you can fix the public plan that it will be cheaper. And therefore it'll wipe out all the other ones are let's talk about. Rationing coming up with a -- she pulled a good calm out of the New York Times about healthcare rationing. And in the the title is why we must ration health care the argument is basically. That health care is already rationed and therefore. We've just got to face the music in through the --"

" Beyond the headlines and explore those strollers who."

" I was better it was better news in Russia -- Barack Obama out there yesterday pushing for his health care plan. And one of the buzz word that is being highlighted as something to attack because the emotion around this. On the resistance to the health care plan is the notion of rationing. -- universal health care means ration. And there's a big right Upton in the New York Times it's attacking this notion of rationing in the argument from Peter Singer who who wrote the column. Is that we already have rationing is just invisible rationing. Debt debt our insurers now make decisions. About that for which we are in short. And the only way to bring down on the cost of health care whether it's the government try to bring it down under universal health care model. Or the government try to bring it down under current model. The only way you lower the cost is to deny people care yes or no power also we got to lower the cost well I know there are other ways. I know there are other ways to lower cost but. Ultimately if you're gonna bring down costs we have to examine things like what do you do when somebody's got three months shall. Should somebody who's got three months we'll get expensive drugs. That could maybe give them six months salute. Somebody's 85. Who's got six months to live or three months solution to be expanded to six or if they have six months should be spent. Fifty grand to give them another three months somebody's gotta make those decisions right. Whether it's under the universal health care model or under Carmona. Do you fear rationing. Do you think rationing doesn't happen now rationing is our big buzz word he gets assault going. But are we being rational about rationing 6172666860. Are we being are we facing up to reality. One of the ways we will lower the costs of health care. Is to say to people who got three months to live you know what we're not gonna -- underground and to give you three mormons. I think he whether we stick -- this model or whether we would we allow Barack Obama to socialized medicine. Don't we have to face up to that question there we've got to make decisions. About cost. Either way were under shared cost plan right. Health insurance from the government. Health insurance from the private sector these are shared money pools and shared many -- have to make decisions about what gets paid for. Right. I think more more comfortable with the current model because it's an entrepreneurial. Capitalist model. But may be -- 6172666860. Terry good morning your NW RQ Todd -- here Tom is off."

" Good morning how are you. You know I wish I could just take every cart right all of mistakes they made -- helped guarantee that all over again but I really felt don't know what the least bit."

" talk about -- because that is -- Ambilight."

" Actor and I helped."

" I understand what you're saying and I think you're right but -- if your in the business. Of treating diseases. You're job when somebody comes in with a symptom mr. try to figure out what the disease is right."

" 21 -- extraordinary extent which happens all the time. AB example aren't. To not talk -- mum and maybe they end up an intent to carry it."

" You know -- built along promote -- of the intent -- and it was -- one million dollars that we put it but bill aren't."

" And in what should we should be what are what's the alternative Terry."

" Well kind of like you pat rationing we going to have to -- the eight by the Euro."

" No we're not -- because I don't have to."

" What should -- say what shall we say to the mother of those babies in intensive care. About the million dollar shall we not -- the million dollars."

" I wouldn't -- be like that with a system saying no you can't have any fertility. Medication flat and baby products as well how -- can -- that you can support and -- the system and I -- what."

" Aren't that a lot of stuff sectarian -- appreciate your input on this 617. 2666060. Is a mistake a week provides a fertility treatments in the first place. And is that fertility treatment be covered by insurance plan. And now we're back to rationing do you do wouldn't you like to ration Terry saying we need to ration don't give the fertility is that rationing. Virginia good morning."

" And it's my opinion that."

" It. Okay you want everybody given everything they want perhaps I. I'm not I voted against you know there are. I don't I don't think there should be any an investment in."

" Up but right now you could have your insurance companies say to your Medicare -- look we're not to recover them."

" You want everything -- and you can get Patrick. Pat --"

" Debate I've accepted the -- an impact that it."

" But that's the -- I. Have -- have been advocating that."

" At that isn't at."

" Have been in the hospital and at a -- Cut it -- We have -- perfect -- support."

" It says see you thank you personal choices -- people -- big influence that's a good point and I'm not sure where this enters into the conversation. John and sale on good morning you're on WR KOI knew we'd love to have that discussion but I don't know how it fits and universal health care sorry John go ahead."

" God and things first and foremost is that I dispatched here we're in the emergency room and I think they're -- to be some type of safeguard at humor ensure around the turn people away. -- a going their frivolous. You know -- if you would okay because there's such a backlog and then that's crazy any emergency care goes skyrocket in the room."

" I never understood John I say this all the time I'll say it again why are. What when you come into the emergency room why isn't there -- nurse practitioner option for the person who's going in who's got. Any infection. The idea that you have this ER team that's prepared to deal with. Anything coming in the door from mangled bodies -- a plane crash or whatever and they have to also deal with the year -- make any sense."

" Not net none whatsoever in India are being -- it in in this -- get people Robert remark you made to animals and we are. People if I bring my darting to the back in a vet says to me you know what. You're better -- put him down okay unless they put people dollars in the answer but my mother little iBook and make our mother our. Probably six more months and they -- so. Okay even -- proxy employers like the last cross that I opened a liability issue whatnot but. But the intent to kill bill also we -- from the specialist it's -- maybe six or seven minutes -- visit. They charged 450 dollars -- that 67 minute exit that's absolutely the."

" If you can be done with those guys for the first few hundred bucks you want out but we we we do put people to death we do what people down. And the trouble is. We we have a system now more comfortable with making those decisions we talked about yesterday. Every day in hospitals and make decisions to let people buy or help them die. And do we wanna turn that over to the government I think that they are rationing is that we don't want some bureaucrat. In Washington. Making good decisions about who gets put down that's a problem isn't it let's talk more about it coming up on 680 WRKO."

" I thought for I don't know I don't like when -- aren't allowed."

" Thousand want to talk radio window of personalities. Back you know."
