Problem is, if Fox started spewing Obama talking points you would think they were the best news outlet ever. don't say it's not true, because it is. You would be shopping the factor store so quick it would look like Bill O'Reilly thew up on you.
Let us know when you have a major illness, need care that is being rationed and need to come to the US. Maybe we can grab a bite to eat after you get your care, which will be about an hour after you get here.
Another the argument is over because evidence that 'I need not mention' clearly shows support for government run care.
Only thing I can agree on is not trusting 'our congressmen'. Which is interesting that you don't trust government unless they are running health care, then they are totally trustworthy.
Clean up the mess by spending 10X what Bush did in 1/4 of the time?
Any Republican or Democrat that wants to expand government and spend more money is destroying this country. Don't even get caught up in the R or D Left or Right argument, it's a game. Become an independent, vote for people that match your standards and if they let you down kick them out of office.
Don't listen to this guy, it's just random spew of talking points emailed to him from the DNC.
The biggest push that Marxism or socialism in general has is the 'right to health care'. So when people are concerned about government run health care and socialism their fears are based in reality.
The military is not a business. I don't know how that is even an argument. Our constitution requires the government to have a military to protect our citizens.
Ignoring the George Bush comments, that's just name that's invoked to gain acceptance of other like minded liberals/socialists.
I agree with the change to metric, although the reason we don't switch over is the huge cost associated with such a large country.

Health Care Reform

· Score: 1, Troll
Once Canadians/Europeans/Australians/New Zealanders stop coming to the US so they can get care they couldn't get in their respective countries wonderful single payer systems (I am being sarcastic), then maybe we will consider it. No US citizens leave the US for care they need, but cannot get in the US. With single payer systems in other countries that's not the case, they come to the US in droves.
That being said I agree there needs to be reform of insurance, pay structures for care and how US citizens get care.
The reason our insurance is tied to an employer is because of past government caps on what employees could get paid. Offering insurance as a benefit added value without breaking government caps on pay. So our entire system is born out of government involvement, that is why people don't trust government to fix it.
Well, only if it was opposite day and you were a leprechaun.
Since you are going to pretend not to understand, let me simplify.
A rock on the ground is nature, a rock in you hand is a 20 million dollar hazmat cleanup.
Don't act like your green, ghoulish, commie, contribute nothing, luddite, hypocritical brain doesn't understand what the man said. Little fucks like you are what causes the chasm with rational people who want to protect the environment. Do I think we should dump heavy metals into water supplies? No you douche bag conceived fuck hole.
If I were to ask you if you wanted to help me start a not-for-profit to keep legitimate mining in court and from ever breaking ground, what would you say? You would be giving me a reach around in the next Denny's parking lot. I know what you're saying, a reach around in a parking lot that doesn't seem ergonomic, well fucker that just proves my point, if your first thought is about the logistics of a Denny's parking lot reach around instead of the weight on society that frivolous lawsuits cost everyone you've reached your anti-epiphany. You don't matter so you get in other peoples way. While people try to make something worthwhile you (and people like you) bite at their ankles like my 8 mo. old puppy, except my puppy now has funding and a lawyer.
Actually that is not fact. African-Americans voted Republican up through the civil rights moment until Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed in NC. He cut a deal with JFK to support democrats if JFK would support the civil rights movement. Up to this point in US history democrats were segregationists and formed various groups to intimidate African Americans (such as the KKK). JFK didn't support civil rights legislation where Nixon of course did. When MLK and JFK cut that deal, that's when the voting trend dramatically changed.
Well then Columbus technically did physically sail to the New World. It's like saying I mean to drive home after drinking at the bar, but end up driving into my neighbors house. I didn't drive into my neighbors house any less because my intent was to drive home.
Looks like Iraq is going to be successful in being a stable nation, at the least it has a fighting chance. If Obama can keep moving in a positive way in Afghanistan, that would be another stable nation.
I know you are hard wired to want the US to lose and no matter what kind of successes can be gained you would never accept them and will only accept absolute failure. I GET THAT. One thing you have to remember the longest and most expensive war the US has faught with little success is the war on poverty. We have spent around $9 trillion with nothing to show for it. So when you say that healthcare spending may not be a great way to save money, but at least THIS money is being spent on improving people's lives., your not right.
I know. If only there was a way to have the military go to the area of the world the jihadists train and recruit and kill them. Maybe create conditions in that geographic area where the normal local population can sustain itself against radicals. Now would that work? No, no, no of course not, because the military is always bad, the US is always wrong and the world would be a much better place if the US just cut off all foreign involvement.
Sure. Just don't cry when the dollar influx from the military spending goes out of your economy. Oh, and on the terms that you can't cry to the US if some other country starts bossing you around. Or for that matter natural disasters, yeah, our blood thirsty military has a large roll in humanitarian efforts so don't have any natural disasters.
The Republicans didn't seem to mind declaring victory in Iraq and pulling out before George H.W. Bush's first term was up. What you describe already happened once. No one here in the U.S. seemed to care at all when that happened the first time...
That was because it was the only terms that the democrats would allow if we were to go to war with Iraq, otherwise the democrats would not support the war.
Yeah, military spending never gives us any new useful technology and it's not like we need to defend ourselves there are no wack-jobs in the world that would love to see us burn.
Oh, and if say for some reason military spending was cut in half tomorrow we wouldn't go to Mars or the Moon; we would spend it all on some massive social spending program that would yield zero returns. The most expensive war we have ever fought is the war on poverty and the US has nothing to show for it.
It costs 1 trillion over 10 years, but the major benefits (spending) is not until the last 5 years. This is so the CBO would score it in a positive way, if the entire program started right away it would be WAY over 1 trillion and not 'budget neutral'. It's all games to make it look good when it's costs are going to cripple the country.
Your not thinking in the context of the time and what was going on. Abolitionists didn't want slaves to be counted as a man at all...zero... This is because the more people the south had, the more power they had in congress and thus say over questions of slavery. Don't discount the founding fathers so quickly, they were much smarter than we can even imagine.
I know historical fact is really inconvenient, but some of the founding fathers were or became the biggest abolitionists, like Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson (read Notes On The State of Virginia), John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine and of course even George Washington. "to see some plan adopted, by which slavery in this country may be abolished by slow, sure, and imperceptible degrees."

Blacks and Whites worked and lived side by side as indentured servants. This was very early on of course and the attitude changed to full ownership rather than an indentured servant.
You have to remember that at this time in the western world was for the first time seeing that slavery was becoming questioned; before this time slavery was broad and common place in just about every culture West and East.
So before you spout of more useless, hateful, ignorant drivel; you should put down your TV remote, stop listening to your state approved school propagandist and read something that contains 51% 1st source material(that means read what the founders actually said and did).
So a few small groups of people acting poorly on a local level many many years after the founding of the country was the foundation of the American Dream? I didn't know they even had Deloreans back then.
Oh, and whats your point about gun ownership statistics? The only place it's not safe is where lawful citizens are forbidden to defend themselves. That has been proven so many times over I can't even believe you brought it up.
Obama, Biden and McCain the founding fathers would find so similarly perverting the federal governments role they would wonder why we haven't removed them for violating the constitution. So no, they would not vote for McCain. Palin they would see as ideologically a step better then the rest, but unqualified. Hell, Obama is the least qualified of all four of them. You should probably read about the founding fathers and what they stood for.
The real reason everyone is so upset is that we learned today that a child can be taught to do what no doubt overpaid bureaucrats fuck up on a daily basis. I heard some of the recordings, the kid sounded like he was sure of himself and the flight crews seemed completely fine with the situation.
I know I know, it was a child (under the direct supervision of an adult) directing air planes OH MY GOD!!!!!!! Isn't that what caused 9/11???!?!?! (oh wait that was the adults). What was this kid doing expanding his experiences in the real world, enjoying and learning and....FUCK ME.... building self confidence???
WHERE IS CONGRESS?? We need congress to find this poor child and make sure he is put in front of a TV and becomes part of the mediocrity. Fire his father so he becomes part of the unemployment line (don't worry public assistance will help with the TV/cable bill).
Obama is here to save us from the internet! Don't worry everyone it's not like the Obama administration has ever said anything about your electronics devices on a network as it relates to privacy...oh wait wasn't there something about cell phones and Americans having “no reasonable expectation of privacy” http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10451518-38.html
I'm sure we'll be fine...hey...why does my system tray have a little icon that looks like a dude in a brownshirt?? Never mind, when I mouse over it it says 'Hope and Change' so false alarm..
Let me balance this out a bit, I don't like the patriot act as well.

The majority of Americans don't want this legislation OR single payer. Most people voted for change, they got more of the same. That we can agree on.
