Ruth "Buzzi" Ginginsburg has fallen, can she get back up?

Getting old sucks and I doubt several of you at DP understand that yet. But some day you will. I have a 94 year old aunt that had a bad fall a couple of weeks before and broke 4 ribs. She has been in a lot of pain and and spent a week in the hospital. . When you have broken ribs it can hurt with every breath you take. And if you have the unfortunate need to cough the pain intensifies.


I wish Ruth B. Ginsberg a speedy recovery.

And a long, enjoyable retirement in short order.

I think it's making fun of the famous commercial, and leftists who are offering to give her organs. They would rather waste a good rib (are rib transplants even a thing?) then see the constitution truthfully interpreted.

I might have entertained that thought except for the title of the thread. Then the OP removed all doubt at post #8:
Someone who has wiped their ass with the US Constitution as often as she has gets no consideration,

And #17:
See #8 and I hope she is alive and alert to know when President Trump replaces her, Just like I'm delighted to know Harry Reid is watching the rule he made up to give Democrats an unfair advantage being used by The President to appoint Judges who actually follow the Constitution.

You need to learn some history. Leftist movements have often been more productive for this nation than the right which always in its conservatism did its best maintain a status quo no matter its failures. The right has always endorsed seclusion and exclusion, the left inclusion and global reach.

In modern human history every Holocaust or similar situation was caused by the Left. All the poverty and human misery is at least indirectly caused by the Left.

All the prosperity and wealth was caused by Right Wing principles.

American Conservatives and Libertarians have no problem with changes as long as they are actual improvements.

Going Leftist is never an improvement.

Horse Manure. Ideologies are nothing more than excuses, subterfuges. People who kill people do so because they enjoy killing people. Where did you serve hot shot? Where?

The fundamental difference between the Right and Left is that the Right are individualist and the Left are Collectivests.

Individualist naturally require a limited power government and Collectivest naturally require a powerful government.

Hitler and Stalin were able to do what they did because they were heads of Governments that had almost total power. The type American Leftist want for us.

Holocausts can not happen with the Limited Power Government America has traditionally had.

How very 'Christian' of you to make fun of an elderly woman 'suffering' such a terrible and painful injury.

Well I'm not Christian. Considering how this POS has wipped her ass with the Constitution I'm being nicer than she deserves.

Karma.....I hope you aren't in pain and elderly and reliant on others to support you.

It's amazing how you wear your christianity on your sleeve, yet you belie it with posts like this.

You should be ashamed, if you can understand shame....

Its what Leftist do.

Notice no one actually defends her character just "how dare you insult a sick old lady" type responses.

No, it is much too close to the next election for any further Trump nominees. It is the McConnell rule.

well if Trump is in office and the GOP has at least 50 senators, Trump will appoint whom he wants and when he wants

Leftist Ideology has killed 200 million people, it is arguably the greatest evil humanity has ever created. I have strong personal animus against anyone trying to inflict it on me.

Hate to disillusion you, but individualism has little to do with either right or left. Give that some thought, but first I suggest you read a short story by Shirley Jackson, The Lottery. And then a novel called The Oxbow Incident by Walter Van Tilburg Clark for a thrilling example of American individualism. There are times when fiction provided the greater truths.

Not to mention, the first objective of our military training is destruction of the individual for the benefit of the unit, the whole.

Reality comes a knockin'.

BS. I defended her character and still do so. But your insults of an elderly hurt individual for her pain are beyond the pale of common decency and you've earned the right to be ignored by sensible people on both sides of the aisle.

I don't think I have ever seen examples given that are less relevant to a subject.

Every political science professor or expert I have ever heard speak on the subject, and I have heard a lot, describes Right and Left as Individualist and Collectivist. Even those who are Leftists themselves https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...FD17A09D08FEFAD0E5E6FD17A09D08FE&&FORM=VRDGAR

When debaters use fictional examples it's because real examples that supports their claim don't exist.

Destroying the individual is the last thing US Military basic training is trying to accomplish. You are repeating an anti-military assumption based on ignorance. The objective is to train troops to follow orders without hesitation and work as a team. Individuals abilities adapt and improvise is one of the reasons the US Military has been so successful. Released documents from the old USSR shows they assessed a strength off our troops and a weakness of theirs was our ability to individually function. The Rugged Individualism that the Military actually promotes is why most troops are Conservatives or Libertarians

Clearly supporting my notion that you haven't a clue about Ginsburg. The only thing you know about Ginsburg is that she wasn't appointed by a republican. And you are bothered by that and that alone.
