Thought you would find this interesting... to put it mildly !

          There are actually two messages here. The first is very
interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.

            A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.

            Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years
after diagnosis:

             U.S.                    65%

             England              46%

             Canada              42%

            Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received

             England              15%

            Canada               43%

             England              15%
;
             Canada               43%

            Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within
one month:

             U.S.                     77%

             England               40%

             Canada               43%

            Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
people:

             U.S.                     71

             England             14

             Canada              18

            Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are
in "excellent health":

             U.S.                    12%

            England               2%

             Canada               6%

            And now for the last statistic:

            National Health Insurance?

             U.S .                     NO

             England            YES

             Canada             YES

            Check this last set of statistics!!

            The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a
government job. Here are the percentages.


       T. Roosevelt.................... 38%

       Taft.................................. 40%

       Wilson ........................... 52%

       Harding........................... 49%

       Coolidge......................... 48%

       Hoover............................ 42%

       F. Roosevelt................... 50%

       Truman........................... 50%

       Eisenhower................ .... 57%

       Kennedy......................... 30%

       Johnson.......................... 47%

       Nixon.............................. 53%

       Ford................................ 42%

       Carter............................. 32%

        Reagan........................... 56%

        GH Bush......................... 51%

        Clinton .......................... 39%

        GW Bush........................ 55%

        Obama........... .......... 8%

             This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

            That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?

            How can the president of a major nation and society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main
stream media.

Take Action: Sign the petition to change the rating of the documentary "Bully" to PG-13

Celebs, Members of Congress Sign Bully Petition
By Jeremy Kinser

Pop singer Demi Lovato, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and
20 members of Congress have joined Ellen DeGeneres in signing Katy
Butler's petition to change the rating of the documentary Bully.

Butler, a Michigan high school student who identifies as lesbian and
who launched a Change.org petition to change the R rating of the
antibullying documentary to a more accessible PG-13 rating, personally
delivered 200,000 signatures to the Motion Picture Association of
America on March 7.

Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) has issued a bipartisan letter to the MPAA,
signed by 20 additional members of Congress, supporting Butler's
petition.

"We are writing to express our sincere disappointment in the MPAA's
decision to issue an R rating for the soon-to-be-released documentary
Bully," the letter reads. "This important project shows the real life
anguish of many teenagers in this country who are tormented, harassed,
and bullied by their peers. This truth should be shared with as wide
an audience as is appropriate and possible. We believe an R-rating
excludes the very audience for whom this film is desperately
important."

Last week DeGeneres encouraged viewers of her daytime talk show to
sign the petition and introduced Butler from the studio audience.
Singer-actress Lovato also urged her more than five million Twitter
followers to sign Butler's petition. You can sign the petition here.

Rump-Rider Sycophants Removing Chick-fil-a from College Campuses

New post on Doctor Bulldog & Ronin

Rump-Rider Sycophants Removing Chick-fil-a from College Campuses

by doctorbulldog

Nothing like the hypocrisy inherent in the much touted "all-inclusive," Liberal academic world excluding those who are of a different opinion:

Chick-fil-A's Christian ties stir college opposition
by Anne Reiner/WorldonCampus.com - via Baptist Press

BOSTON (BP) -- Last week, the student senate at Northeastern University, in Boston, voted to end negotiations to bring fast-food chain Chick-fil-A to campus after students protested over the company's affiliation with several Christian organizations the students say have an "anti-gay" agenda.

The Atlanta-based company, dogged for months by accusations of homophobia, insists it is "not anti-anybody" but instead simply wants to "graciously serve great food and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."

But students from at least 10 campuses aren't buying it. Incensed over the company's Christian values, they opposed new franchises and lobbied for the removal of existing restaurants on campuses across the country. Although the furor has generated a lot of media attention, prompting the company's president to publicly defend its philanthropic affiliations, it's not likely to hurt Chick-fil-A's bottom line. With about 1,540 restaurants in 38 states and annual sales figures topping $3 billion, the company still has plenty of fans.

At Northeastern, the student body eagerly embraced Chick-fil-A's proposal to become a vendor in the student center, until a small group of students complained about the organizations to which the company contributes through its WinShape Foundation. Led by Senior Taylor Cotter, a member of the school's' student senate who spent almost a year opposing the company's interest in coming to campus, the students circulated a petition and gathered 300 signatures -- about 1.5 percent of the student body. Despite the relatively small opposition, the school's student government quickly voted to end negotiations with the company.

School administrators supported the decision, saying the company's principles contradicted Northeastern's respect for diversity and support for the gay community: "We are proud of the decision that affirms our university's commitment to be an inclusive, diverse community that is respectful of all," college spokeswoman Renata Nyul said in a prepared statement.

ROFLMAO!!! The hypocrisy runs deep with this one!

Responding with their own written statement, company representatives said they were disappointed over the school's "hasty" decision: "We are not anti-anybody and Chick-fil-A [has] no agenda, policy or position against anyone as some reports continue to represent."

Company president Dan Cathy insists Chick-fil-A is not a Christian company, just one founded on biblical principles. But thanks in part to the company's affiliation with pro-family groups, its frequent presence at large religious rallies and the praise music reverberating from speakers in its restaurants, both fans and detractors often refer to it as one of the country's most overtly Christian businesses.

Through the WinShape Foundation, started by company founders Truett and Jeannette Cathy, Chick-fil-A donates to several Christian organizations, including The Marriage & Family Legacy Fund, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the National Christian Foundation. According to its statement, Chick-fil-A has given the groups $1,714,199. None of the organizations the company supports has an "anti-gay" agenda, although as Christian groups, they do uphold and support heterosexual marriage, Donald A. Perry, the company's vice president of corporate public relations, said in his statement.

"I want to assure you that the historical intent of our Foundation and corporate giving have been toward compassion, principally by serving youth and families," he said. The company gives millions of dollars every year toward education.
