   AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF APPLEBAUM HAS CHOSEN, OR BEEN   
   CHOSEN TO POINT OUT THE MISGIVINGS OF A BREAK BETWEEN TWO ALLIES WHOSE ONLY   
   DIFFERENCE AT PRESENT WOULD BE THE EMBARASSING OBEISANCE AND HUMBLE   
   PROTESTATIONS OF OBEDIENCE AND LOYALTY ABOVE AND BEYOND ANY REQUIRED BY A   
   LEADING PARTNER TO A NAUGHTY DEPENDENT.   
      
   EMPHASISING TO AMERICA AND ENGLAND THEY CAN HOPE FOR NOTHING WITH THEIR   
   WITLESS AND GUTLESS POLITICIANS.   
      
      Republicans held up the British health-care system as an example of  the   
   nightmare that might await America if Obama's health-care  proposals were   
   passed.   
      
   SO STRANGELY ENOUGH WE ARE TAKING ABOUT COMPARISON OF A UNIVERSAL HEALTH   
   CARE SYSTEM CARING FOR AL OF THE POPULATION.   
      
   AND THE REPUDS/JEWISH PARTY'S EFFICENT HEALTH FOR JEWISH AMERICANS AND SOME   
   NON JEWISH AMERICANS NONE FOR THE NON JEWISH 98% OF THE POPULATION WITHOUT   
   SHELLING OUT TO THE JEWISH POPULATION AS MUCH AS THE JEWISH HEALTH SYSTEM   
   CAN SOAK EM FOR AND STILL LEAVE  80% OF THE POPULATION WITH INSUFFICIENT OR   
   NO HEALTH CARE.   
      
   SO HOW YOU CAN POSSIBLY COME TO THE CONCLUSION NO HEALTH CARE IS GOOD FOR   
   ANYONE BUT THE AFFLUENT MINORITY POPULATION WHO MOST HAVE WHICH HAVE BEEN   
   FORCED INTO TENT LIVING WITH DESTROYED NEST EGGS BY JEWISH DOMINATED BANK   
   AND INSURANCE SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT THE JEWISH ISRAEL SADISTS WHO CANNOT RUN A   
   GOVERNMENT WITHOUT NATIVE BARBARITY WHICH ATAGONISES ALL NON JEWS IN IT'S   
   BARBARIC APARTHEIDIS RACISM AND INJUSTICE.   
      
   BUT JEWISH INFLUENCE INAMEICA HAS DECIDED TT ISRAEL WOULD BE SUPPORTED TILL   
   IT HURT.   
   AND BUYING OUT OF AMERICAN POLITICIANS WITH AMERICAN AID FUNDS CONTRIBUTING   
   TO THEIR PROBLEMS SEEMS IRONIC.   
      
    Further evidence that the days of ideological cross-pollination are  over   
   can be seen in discussions about education. Many of the troubles  of the   
   British state school system sound familiar to American ears:   
   > Falling standards, inner-city violence, private schools outperforming   
   > their state counterparts, uneven performance in different parts of the   
   > country.   
      
   TEN SHE PUTS SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT THE WST HAS SOLVED BEFORE WITHOUT THE   
   BREAKUP  AND CO-OPERATION SE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE IS HAPPENING?   
      
   WHY, TO SUPPORT THAT BREAKUP AND IMPROVE THE STATUS OF WORLDWIDE JEWRY AS   
   THE PROPER RESOLUTION SHE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE OF THE FALL OF WESTERN UNITY   
   , SO STAND ASIDE AND LET WORD JEWRY TAKE OVER?   
      
   PERHAPS THERE IS SOMEWHERE  PRESIDENTS OF TE CALIBRE IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE   
   AMERICA A TRUE LEADER AGAIN INSTEAD OF WHAT MOST NOW SEE , AN AMERICAN   
   POODLE KICKED AROUND BY AN ISRAELI MASTWER.
