I don't know what in hell you are talking about and apparently neither do you. There is no requirement for any info whatsoever to get security updates. I hit the apple in the top corner of the screen, scroll down to software update, it shows the updates and I hit go and it goes. My computer asks for my administrator login/password. That's pretty much it, a lot like updating my linux box. I get the idea you've never used an apple computer.
You make a good point. Things are a long way from a dictatorship but I think it's important to fight every step. It's not a good idea to wait until they completely dismantle freedom.
You have to admire it. They have a limitless amount of nerve and absolutely no shame. This is what happens when people decide that the end justifies the means. Also the quote "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." comes to mind.
I hear what you are saying but the administration made it sound like the Supreme Court didn't have jurisdiction, not that it wasn't appropriate. I'm sure if the Supreme Court chooses to hear the case it can. If anyone has overstepped their bounds it's been the executive branch of the last two presidencies.
You have to wonder what Tricky Dick could have done in this day and age don't you? Imagine J. Edgar Hoover with all these new toys and info systems. Oh man!
Don't read too much into it. I just grabbed Nixon's name because he was the only President to resign. Obama may be liberal but I don't think he's crooked. He uses the government to rob people which is entirely legal.
Actually they exceeded even the minor limitations of the Patriot Act. They lied to Congress about what they were doing as well which is a felony. It seems that if you have enough power the law doesn't apply to you nowadays. If Nixon were president today he wouldn't need to resign.
I can argue that the average life expectancy is more a matter of lifestyle than health care. A lot of Americans, myself included, are obese. We live a sedentary lifestyle with food that's bad for us. We're victims of high living.
There are a lot of things wrong with the health care system in the US. It needed help and reworking. What it got was a cluster fuck. It went from bad to worse. So many special interest groups were involved in this messed up legislation and it got so twisted that even Pelosi didn't know what all was in it. The obscene rush to get it out at any cost left us with an expensive mess that will probably take decades to fix if it ever can be.
The death panels are a fact. They may be necessary as spending millions to keep people barely alive for a year or two more may not actually be the right thing to do but they do exist. Lying about it does nothing for the credibility of people pushing Obamacare.
There is plenty of room for fraud hunting. I know I've caught bogus charges on more than one itemized charge list that I had to request from a hospital or doctor. Charges like the gall bladder scan for my Wife who has no gall bladder. All kinds of bullshit you have to watch for from the greedy. I'm not mad at the wrong people though. Fraud is fraud. We should stamp it all out. It's killing us.
I can compromise. I'm not really heartless I've just grown sick of seeing deadbeats break a system put in place to help people with absolutely no options. I want some real teeth put in the assistance programs to handle fraud. Until that happens these programs are doomed. There isn't enough money for everyone no matter what you do. We have to limit it to the truly needy and that isn't happening. In the last 6 years the number of people leaching the government has grown enormously. If some hard choices aren't made there wont be any way to help anyone in a decade or maybe less. What's going to happen when the money isn't there to write the checks?

There are still some limits and they're constantly pushing and testing those that remain.
And this is the point. The people responsible should lose their jobs and go to jail. But they wont. They might, just might, get a slap on the wrist.

Yep. Same war I was talking about.
Actually I've noticed community colleges where the teachers wrote at about that level. Education isn't what it once was.

What war is that? The war on US liberty?

I wasn't aware he even had a heart. I heard it had been replaced with a ten pound hammer.
Socialized health care.
Abortion
Gay Marriage
That was easy.
Well a few decades ago you couldn't openly flaunt it. It was necessary to cover things up.

Wow. That's ultra liberal there. I like it. The fact that I'm fat is some corporation's fault! Twisted logic but beautifully done.

I wonder why people who do work and pay taxes have to pay for people who wont work to have insurance.
