I hate crybaby excuse makers. In the end, they spend their whole lives doing nothing but being crybaby excuse makers. Nothing is ever good enough. Nothing ever works - and it's always somebody else's fault. You could give them a million dollars for doing nothing, and they'd complain that it wasn't two million dollars. Then they'd go out and blow it, and complain because they're poor.

So 40 million Americans who can't afford health insurance are just being "lazy cry babies".

Yeah, and pigs will start flying soon. It could perhaps be an underlying problem with capitalism. Just a wild guess

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
