Until that "equal treatment" extends to marriage. Then they suddenly oppose equality.
Ok...here we go. The state already has the ability to restrict who you are allowed to marry. You cannot marry close relatives. You cannot marry someone under the age of consent. You are allowed to marry someone of the opposite sex though. Are you suggesting all restrictions be removed on marriage or just those you don't like? Additionally, once restrictions on marriage are removed, how long untile we have polygamy, polyamary, group/line marriages?
Disclaimer: I don't have a personal issue w/ gay marriage. I do have a issue with how's its been pushed on the country via the courts rather then referendums. As we saw with Roe v Wade, when a divisive social issue of this magnitude is decided by the courts before the popular support is there, it stays divisive. Unfortunately, that's what will happen w/ gay marriage.
...but for fucks sake, stop comparing the US to Sweden (or other Euro countries). Sweden is the size of California and has 9million people in it vs the US's 330million+. You cannot compare the two.
And yet the seeds to the housing crash were planted as far back as the Carter era. Trying to blame Republicans for policies instituted by both parties is just ignoring facts and wanting to always blame the other guy no matter what.
What is it with your wanting to pin Obamacare onto Heritage any way you can? Is it because you think it then insulates criticism of it from conservatives?
You don't realize how much you are trying to stretch this do you.
If Think Progress came out with a study saying that gun control needs to be removed and conceal carry be allowed everywhere, and then they decided to say that that study is unworkable; would Dems be beholden to it for 20 years? Because thats what you are doing with Heritage and health care.
Does Obamacare require:
Only minimal catastrophic coverage?
Minimal regulations on insurures?
Tax changes to eliminate employer-sponsored insurance?
Replacing medicare w/ vouchers?
These are all parts of the Heritage plan.
Saying that the Heritage plan is the same as Obamacare is like saying that the Ryan voucher plan is the same as the NHS as they are both health care plans.
You mean the plan that Heritage came up with in the early 90's that they concluded was unworkable? Romneycare and Obamacare are nothing like that (they are worse).
"Last Friday, Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), along with Reps. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), signed a letter calling on Holder to end Equitable Sharing."

Depends which part of the GOP you are talking about though (As the Republican party is not some giant monolithic lock step party). The Republicans that are concerned about civil liberties (ie, those who didn't think about civil liberties when the patriot act was first signed, but have regretted it) will support this move. They have seen how this program has been abused by law enforcement agencies and needs to be curtailed.
(BTW, the democrats are very predictable in opposing anything republicans do, no matter how rational it is).
It's never lost a dime and in facts runs a profit, although as they say in the industry: past performance is no guarantee of future results. But FWIW the ExIm bank has been running a surplus since 1934.
So what about the 3 Billion in long term losses it had to reveal back in '87? Additionally, per the CBO, the ExIm will cost taxpayers about 2 billion over the next decade.
The simple fact is the US taxpayer need to stop subsidizing big business. (ironically, this is something occupiers and tea partiers agree on).
Elizabeth Warren is also in bed w/ the corps. Why else would she vote to continue the ExIm Bank (which is basically free money to a few large multinationals)?
And yet none of the current wireless chargers are as good as the ones for my Palm Pre (6 years ago). You didnt need a car mount with the pre charger...
And yet IRS has been used for political gain and private citizens tax information have been turned over political operatives. This was illegal under federal law, but still happened with no consequences.
What makes you think that this will not happen with private citizens medical info?
The problem is the progressives who brought us the attitude that a fetus is not a person are now contemplating that a baby is not a person until its a few years old.

And that millionaire (Vinod Khosla) is a liberal (based on his political contributions) not a conservative.
Theres a reason why the term limousine liberal has come into play so much in the past 10 years, it's because it's true on a lot of the rich now.

Fine them to the max and if they shut down, they shut down. That will wake up the rest of the corps that do this.
Can we just stop w/ the political stories?

The key word there is "Politicians". Not Democrats. Not Republicans. (As they both do this).
And yet when the Democrats came to power, the motto was "Never let a crisis go to waste".
You mean the plan that Heritage came up with in the early 90's that they concluded was unworkable? Romneycare and Obamacare are nothing like that (they are worse).
RTFA - Republicans called for this to happen.
"Last Friday, Sens. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), along with Reps. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), signed a letter calling on Holder to end Equitable Sharing."

This kind of shit belongs on DailyKos or Politico, but not on Slashdot.
Actually, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be great as a movie...

Yet where would you build such a plant. The CA coast is filled with NIMBYS who wouldn't allow it.

You do know that neither Romney nor Nixon were conservatives right?
