I don't recall at the moment. I do remember seeing the "debate" about the quote, and then the refutation by Snopes, which changed some of the verbiage to make it look like they "proved" the (mis)quote was not true, by referring to some other quote. But they never really addressed the real quote that was in fact, factual.
It was subtle, enough to trick stupid liberals using SNOPES to prove their point, got caught making wrong statements about the actual quote. Snopes was technically correct about the "facts" it was reporting on, it just wasn't reporting on the other politically damaging quotes (ignoring them).
To be honest, Snopes is a valuable tool for most "wrong" internet MEMES and hoaxes. But on the Political crap, not useful at all, simply because there is a bias that comes out.
As I say, bias isn't always what is in what is being reported, sometimes it is in what is NOT being reported.
Forget Jimmy Carter much? Reagan has as much to do with the failure of Carter as anything. Yeah, Carter, the person that Democrats never remember.
I blame Republicans for Obama, as much as I blame Clintons (both of them) for Obama. But Democrats were all "hopey and changey" gaga over Obama, that they clearly have the lead on his failures. And keeping Nancy Pelosi "you have to pass it to read it" and Harry Reid as leaders clearly show how much Democrats hate America.
The Republicans aren't much better keeping Mitch and John in power either.
Tell me, when is Government not in bed with business? Crony Capitalism is no better than a corrupt Bureaucracy that targets citizens, instead of serving them.
Government isn't the solution to problems, it is largely responsible for them. Here is the process.
People complain about problem, government "Fixes" the problem, but generates three new problems. Repeat.
And fixing the problems government creates is as simple as raising taxes and giving the money away to voters. All those programs and shit that we spend inordinate amounts of money on, are not solving the problems they were created for. War on Poverty/Great Society hasn't stopped poverty, and from the looks of it (where I am) it is actually worse now than I have ever seen since Jimmy Carter.
But you all keep believing government is going to solve the problems it created, but I think that is pure insanity.
Yes, indeed. But, my impression is, this is going to be just rebranded IE with all the same issues of integration and bugginess and security holes as IE, just with a "new and improved", "best Browser Ever", "Faster than IE" marketing jargon that might work on people too stupid to remember the last 20 years.
Funny, the President said "no" ("l'll veto..." ) more times that I can ever recall during a SotU speech.
And talk about broken record..."raise taxes on the rich.... free stuff for everyone else" is just lame playbook. But it works, American voters are stupid.
We have a doctor shortage, even made worse by ObamaCare, and doctors quitting because of the huge increases in regulations that provide nothing in the area of Care for patients, but rather provides more government intrusions into our lives.
IRS in charge of healthcare, only makes sense to liberals.
My specific case was MRI, and I can assure you, that the wait times for MRI is nowhere near what France's are. My wife has had multiple MRIs done in the last three months, each one ordered and fulfilled within days of each other.
I am not rich. My wife cannot work (bad back) and I work for a school district and total household income is less than median household in the US. I'm middle class, barely.
So, you're quoting bullshit leftwing misinformation designed to make us look bad. I have relatives in France, and they HATE their health care system because it is so bad. We have good healthcare in the US, and it is expensive, because people want to use it.
IF you want to fix healthcare costs, make the costs more transparent (one price for everyone), give us Health Savings accounts, and eliminate the need for most Health Insurance. The greatest cost in healthcare is the paperwork and liability insurance due to our LEGAL system. You'd cut costs in half (or more) making a couple simple changes
I've noticed several of the "Political" style facts often don't actually represent the truth on Snopes, and definitively have a left leaning bent. In one case, the "Claim" was correct (it happened), but the refutation by snopes used other things to "false" the claim. To me, taking one claim, and refuting another and never addressing the "facts" of the original is slick politics.
For most things, Snopes is okay, but anything "political" is suspect out of the gate.
Here is just one example. MRI costs less than half in France as it does in the US. Sounds great. Until you realize that the wait time to get an MRI is more that three times longer.
You can take your European Health Care, and low prices / long wait lines and call it superior all you want.
And small Scandinavian countries are not comparable to the vastness of the USA. Let me know when Sweden's health insurance is welcomed by German doctors. Or Great Britain patients can get their MRI done in France (wait times ignored) simply because it is worth the price of the train ticket to get there.
You want to fix healthcare, make the price paid the same for everyone, and pricing is upfront (as can be allowed). Let the user know exactly what the Knee Scope is going to run before surgery.
Let me know when Gaming Consoles can do WPS and I'll be happy to put a huge long ugly password in. I would love to be able to use the button on my router.
So long as it helps to drive healthcare costs down.
HealthCare costs so much, because we (society) require HeathCare providers to cover things they normally wouldn't cover, like uninsured people who don't take care of themselves. From the Smoker's Lung Cancer, to the obese person's Diabetes and Heart Problems, to the Adventurist's broken bones.
You want to fix health care, it is unfixable at this point because we have interfered with it way too much at this point. And no, ObamaCare isn't going to make anything better, and is likely to make things much much worse (except the few people it might benefit). But Pictures of Grandma going over a cliff will quickly dismiss any attempts to fix it properly.
How much an Android device is worth without the Google Play store?
You can use Android, without Google, Google Play or anything else. You can side load all the apps you want, it just isn't convenient and perhaps not secure.
Remember, the original poster was complaining about Google+ being rammed up our ass. My point was Google+ isn't being rammed by anyone, you don't even need anything Google to run Android. You really don't. And you can load just the Play store app (side load) on pure Android (no GAPPS package) and go. If you want a Google Android Phone, it comes pre-loaded, along with a ton of other useful apps for the full "Google Experience".
Yeah, I get that not everyone wants the full Google Experience. And having used Samsung, I prefer the uncluttered nature of nearly pure stock android.
Are they now? Or is it perhaps that you can't see how this slippery slope is going to end. This is just simply the camel's nose in the proverbial tent.
Can anyone name a successful change of politics in US history through second-amendment means?
1775-1783
Which is exactly why the 2nd Amendment is there in the first place. But too many pansy ass liberals want to take away guns because "oooh scary", and want a totalitarian government telling everyone how to live.

Can you sue the Government over HIPAA violations in ObamaCare? Would Obama let you?

GAHHHH I hate both parties almost equally.
benefited enough people
It has hurt enough people that it is not suicide.

WAZE is croud sourced, and you didn't report the road closed? You're the reason it didn't report it closed.

Universally bad healthcare is not a replacement for best of breed healthcare. No thanks.

A lot of "facts" really are opinions anyway.
That's your opinion. Mine is different. /toungeincheek
And that is absolute bullshit.

Taxes are a necessary evil. They are both necessary, and evil.
They are also always regressive.
The greatest reason though is an implied "right" of government to tax its populace to its breaking point.
Therefore, it is my conclusion, that taxes should be the LAST resort of raising revenue.
So long as it helps to drive healthcare costs down.

Or, you can be under insured, get involved in a hit and run, and suffer because there is nobody to pay the claim.
Thats not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
I saved twice that in half the time.
Who cares about dongles in cars, pretty soon, we will all be using UBER/Google Self driving cars. Who needs to buy insurance at that point?
Google maps uses WAZE to gather traffic info. WAZE is a great app if you use it, giving alternate routes around traffic as it discovers them.
