Yeh, the government doesn't create jobs unless that spending cut is in a republicans district... then it's the end of the world, 100% unemployment forever!!!!1!11!1!!!!
Wouldn't have mattered if they picked the high bidder. The problem is the law itself, not just the website. The self-righteous arrogance of this administration is only surpassed by the previous one.
With all due respect... pull your head out of your ass. we're talking about the technical aspect of the launch of the website. The only thing that would matter is who's doing the development. Suggesting that the ACA itself is responsible for the poor technical development of the website is just fucking stupid. You may not like the law for whatever reason, but please, use your fucking brain.
Not only that, but when things went south on Part D, the democrats did everything they could to help fix the problems. With the ACA, the republicans have acted like complete assholes for the entire time, doing everything they can to undermine it, then undermine anything they can and tie it to the ACA.
The piece missing is where the radical conservatives in this country have tried to alter the meaning of the understanding of fascism to mean progressive or leftist. Fascism is a marriage of business and the government at the expense of the populace, usually done with fervent nationalism or religious asides, with a very strong dose of populism thrown in.... think the current GOP/Tea Party in the US. Socialism, the actual "left," is the elimination of private ownership, business, production, and resource extraction, with all those resources being "for the group;" think Jesus and his disciples (who Marx drew his "from each to their ability, to each their need" concept).
For the past few decades US conservatives have been trying to make both ends of the spectrum out to be solely the "left," so they don't have to come to grips with what the radical right really is. They've used the word "socialism" so often, and so inaccurately, than now they need a new derogatory name calling, hence why you now see conservative "sources" try to associate fascism with the left.
A simple run down of the traits of fascism shows where it lies in today's politics, and who is exhibiting those traits; and you don't need propaganda trying to re-write reality to conform to your precious world view to do that.... just a little intellectual honesty.
What's odd about the discovery is that the Cosmological principle--one of the fundamental tenets of cosmology--holds that the distribution of matter in the universe will appear uniform if viewed at a large enough scale. And yet, structures clearly emerge at every scale astronomers can see.
Beings as we can only ever see a very small fraction of the universe, and don't even know how big it is in its entirety, it's certainly possible we simply can't view a large enough area for the distribution to "even out."
Your post is merely confirmation that the biggest problem we have in the US is really stupid fucking people who can only regurgitate bumper sticker talking points, and who prefer to be lied to like two dollar whores instead of using their brain to actually think. People like you are why the fucknuts get elected who go out of their way to pass crap like the Patriot Act, and to invade other countries for no reason.
Exactly. It's always been o-chem. I think the problem here is this was written by a pre-med. The college i went two had 2 o-chem classes, one for pre-med...the easy one... then the one for real people, you now, chem majors.
They are different skill sets though (chem and bio)... the bio classes i took before becoming too bored to stand it were all exercises in memorization, nothing more; chem... yeh, not so much.
That said, some context: Of the 788 amendments filed, 67 came from Democrats and 721 from Republicans. (That disparity drew jeers that Republicans were trying to slow things down. Another explanation may be that they offered so many so they could later claim—as they are now, in fact, claiming—that most of their suggestions went unheeded.) Only 197 amendments were passed in the end—36 from Democrats and 161 from Republicans. And of those 161 GOP amendments, Senate Republicans classify 29 as substantive and 132 as technical.
Then, of course, is the simple thing that republicans seem loathed to say: Obamacare is pretty much a national version of Romneycare, which was taken largely from suggestions form the Heritage Foundation.
It's not that the creation process of the law was flawed, it's that you and your fellow rabid conservatives have been lied to for so long, you actually believe the bullshit you've been fed.
Immaterial... Obama didn't build the website... the government didn't build the website... a private company did. This isn't an indictment of Obama, it's an indictment of privatization. Your partisan bullshit is simply an example of what's wrong in the US: too many people who prefer 15 second sound bites instead of using heir brain to understand the real answer.
Regardless of all the partisan bullshit on this thread, the ultimate fact is that it was a private company that developed the website. This is not a government story, it's a story about private company.
That said, the person i was replying to was suggesting that France felt safer conflicting with Scientology than with those Muslims because Muslims are murderous radicals, while my position is, radicals are radicals (and dangerous) regardless of religious affiliation.
Nor do they go around performing exorcisms and letting people die from them, let their kids go without medical treatment for easily curable diseases that can be fatal if untreated, not outright murder doctors.
If you're trying to make the point all religion can be abused by radicals, yes... otherwise you need to put down the kool-aid and take a look at reality.
More people do oppose Obamacare than support it.... however, those people support the ACA more than they do Obamacare. In additional, ALL of the major parts of the ACA (AKA: Obamacare for anyone without their head shoved up their ideological ass) show a large majority support (some over 90%), other than the individual mandate.
So...saying more people oppose it than support it is a Microsoft answer...technically correct, but bullshit. As soon as you change the question to do they support the ACA (instead of Obamacare), almost 60% of conservatives change their tune. The real answer is: more people don't know enough about it, or are ideologically incapable of agreeing with ANYTHING that has Obama's name on it.
I'll at least give you credit for admitting that your ultimate goal is a single payer system. Most democrats wouldn't admit to this. I suspect the Obamacare bill as passed is just a way to get their foot in the door. They know that like virtually all government programs, this will just balloon over time.
....then you don't know most democrats. Democrats are the first ones to say we need single payer, or some version thereof. It works in all other industrialized countries..where the cost of medical care is lower to much lower than ours, with as good or better outcomes. Only an idiot would think that's not what we need. Sadly, we have too many in this country who want "gub'ment to keep its hands of their medicare," you know.... the true idiots.
...this has to do with government is the fact that, once again, a PRIVATE COMPANY that the government has to use because of the fascist conservatives in this country have forced privatization every chance they get... has screwed some people over. That, and the obligatory rants by said conservatives about how bad the government is (even though, once again, this was the fault of A PRIVATE COMPANY).
My point stands... we ran a surplus the last two years Clinton was in office, and had a projected 10 year SURPLUS of ~5.6 trillion. That was projected to be able to pay of the national debt in 12-13 years; BUT... then we elected fuckwad republicans who decided that instead of being responsible people, they'd piss it away. Now all we have is a bunch of imbecile republicans trying really hard to rewrite history and eliminate the fact they fucked this country over, yet again, for their stupid fucking ideology of "trickle-down" economics which is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.
Because you don't seem to understand the difference between the deficit and the national debt, i'd suggest you go back and learn a little about which you are trying to talk about.
....and lets not forget, dumbfuck, that when Clinton left office there was a projected 10 year surplus of ~5.6 trillion dollars, and a national debt of ~5.7 trillion dollars. The first thing that fucknut Bush and the other anti-government dipshits did was piss away that surplus. Add in the two wars the put on the credit card, and the taxpayer money giveaway to big pharma... and what you end up with is a turnaround of ~16-17trillion dollars because stupid fucking conservatives ideologues can't be responsible and pay down/off the national debt.
Republicans INTENTIONALLY kept the debt, then piled onto it enormous amounts...and the only thing a fuckwad republican like you can do is blame someone else. Not all republicans are useless, but dipshits like you make all the normal ones look bad.
Conservatives hate this country. They have been actively trying to tear it to pieces for the last 30 years. Newt upped the ante in 1994, but the fucktards like you have gone so far overboard that Mussolini would be impressed by your complete fucking idiocy. How about, for once in your life, you let your nuts drop and try to take a little bit of responsibility for the complete fuck up that you obviously were party to.
We don't have a spending problem here in this country, we have a stupid fucking idiot republican in office problem.

Probably more as a plutocracy than a dictatorship.

You mean the lazy ass red states who are leeches off the rest of the country for not stepping up and actually governing for a change.

Hmm, i knew they refuse psych help, but didn't know they refused normal medical help like the Christian Scientists do. Their website suggests their beliefs vs medical treatment are more mainstream http://www.scientology.org/faq/scientology-attitudes-and-practices/scientology-view-on-medical-care.html than Christian Scientists, while the CH tend to just let kids die http://www.masskids.org/index.php?option=com_content&id=161&Itemid=165
