it's not trolling. it's a fair point. On a whole host of issues, most notably privacy and executive power, the Obama administration is lock step a continuation of the bush administration.

"The buck stops here." The FBI is using spy planes over US cities. Obama is either complicit or ignorant, neither of which leaves him innocent.

GP is a mocking rebuttal to those who thought he election of Obama would solve all problems, and his messianic persona during the first campaign.

oh, we got those too, that's different. We've got the ones on the right that have always done it for religious reasons.

what he's talking about is the newer movement that says vaccines are bad for you and cause disease.

the religious exemption has never been a big issue, not enough to make a dent in herd immunity. It's the dirty hippies that are causing the big problems in the US.
