  1. In character on HealthCare.gov Back-End Status: See You In September · · Score: 1

    It's like, how much more dishonest could the #ObamaCare be? The answer is none. None more dishonest.

  2. Reality on HealthCare.gov Back-End Status: See You In September · · Score: 1

    Reality: the ultimate conservative talking point. If you thought that 'bugaboo' was done sucking, you know nothing of statist vampires.

    Consult your accountant for disappointing tax news. If you don't know from where that blood's to be extracted, it's your flesh.

    If the market weren't distorted, then the useless rent seeking should, itself, be destroyed. The Socialist penchant for clipping a wing and then mocking the inability of a bird to fly is a truly sweet con.

    So, as long as our redistributive Ponzi scheme can continue to vacuum up victims into the future, the fundamental immorality is beside the point? Is that what you're contending?

    If you're going to argue that the DARPA protocols informing the Internet are some kind of anti-capitalist triumph, fine. Keep in mind that you also just bought the Military-Industrial Complex and all of the wars the U.S. has fought. So ya got a lot of artillery and missiles goin' for ya.

    Only if we continue to H8 the capitalism that drives real improvement, in favor of some nebulous "change" that seems to involve a lot of un-repayable debt.

    Wait for the next round of papers to examine the shiny new ideas of universal age climate change.

    Pretty sure the sidereal movement of the Earth is going to cause a "sunrise" in a few hours, irrespective of the state of this unresolvable argument.

    The genius of org mode is that the only key you need to know is TAB.
    Whether it requires too much emacs affinity to be useful to the non-nerd is a point well-taken.

    The thing Europeans like best about the US military is all the coin we drop having bases there.

    That U.S. crotch you're cheerfully kicking might not be able to bail out your "actual civilized" buttocks from the next war.
    So, pray for peace. I don't wish you ill, but the "actual uncivilized reality" can be a, well, you know, 'bear'.

    Neither do the CoS people, which is why the project is set up to get the whole thing communicated, agreed upon, locked in by enough states so the outcome is assured, and THEN bring about the Article V convention. In other words, the "runaway convention" argument has been considered.
    Meanwhile, the current cast of crooks is destroying the country. The "devil you know" argument is out of gas.

    Why do you H8 Article V? We can keep trying to elect more and more reformers, but until we do something substantial to restore the separation of powers in DC, I don't foresee any improvement in the slow pirouette to tyranny.

    What you've got right now is just completely jacked up through the roof. I wouldn't accuse the CoS of being perfect, but it's the least-worst thing I've heard going yet.

    I commend to you a little more research prior to making that judgement of the CoS. I can't speak for all of the Federalist Papers, but I'm confident that the CoS leaders have read deeply in them.
