Kaz, as long as he does not refuse his services based on his beliefs then I personally have no problem, but the moment he refuses service or does not treat a patient with the very same care he should based on their beliefs or opinions then I have a VERY big problem with that. Like I stated before he can believe and think as he wishes. That's his right as an American citizen. The moment it affects how he deals with his patients it crosses the line and steps should be taken to correct that situation. My family doctor years ago was a Republican. He and I used to talk about things all the time. He knew I was a democrat, and we had the best conversations whenever I visited. He was the kind of man that would bend over backwards and then give you the shirt off your back. My mom and I adored him and thought he was the BEST doctor either of us had ever known. When he passed away we went to his funeral. You'd have thought half the city of Athens was there. One of the things that always stuck in my head that he and I discussed was the fact that regardless of whether he and I agreed or disagreed on a particular matter he always said "Rick, I'm a republican. I don't budge, and I'm very old fashioned, but when I see you I'm not a republican, I'm not even an American, I'm a doctor. My job is to take make you better." I'll always think the world of that man. He was a good man, and a wonderful doctor. I'd give anything to find a doctor like him again.
Anyone who mistreats a child has lost his/her right to be on this planet. I definitely say execute them, but let's bring back something less humane than lethal injection! It would not be unfair, in my opinion, for the parents of the child to kill him/her any way they please.
I agree with Mama Kaz all the way! There is no way this man deserved that prize, any more than he deserved to be President? Just who is he, anyway?! Another puppet put in office by the Bilderbers, in my opinion.
All the signs were there, but our government is so afraid to be politically incorrect it chose to look the other way. It's such a shame we have come to be the land of the wussies!
Bottom line: He is a doctor and should not be inquiring about anyone's political affiliations. However, I see our personal freedoms falling by the wayside, so I do endorse his right to post the sign, regardless of how tasteless it is.
Not legalizing this is stupid and short sighted. It wastes current government resources when it could be generating revenues and cleaning up the providers by forcing to be legit.
While you make a good point Rick; from a legal stand point, as far as I know he's not refused anyone service. If a Obama or Healthcare supporter came into his clinic seeking service and they were denied because of their political affiliation then you'd be right. Posting a sign is one thing, denying service because of someones ideology is another. What do you think?
Umm. Cutie nobody said he didn't have freedom of speech. He can say whatever he likes, but when you state that you will no longer accept patients who support Obama, then everyone should have a problem. This is a man with obligations neither you nor myself will ever have. As a Team Lead for Target whenever I don't offer the best possible guest service nobody dies!! Ethically this man has obligations to his patients and to his profession that far outweigh his own beliefs. That is the awesome responsibility that you take on when you decide to become a physician. A healer of the people. Someone who regardless of their own political beliefs is responsible for the health of his patients and sometimes their very lives. Politics and beliefs are something that do not belong inside the operating room, and as a physician of medical science he should d*** well know better!
Sorry guys. I meant to say "He was the kind of man that would bend over backwards and then give you the shirt off his back."
