Comment What about the parts BESIDES Romneycare? (Score 1) 1019

Everyone always talks about the part of the healthcare law that mandates insurance--the part that was supported in the past by Romney, Gingrich, and, I think, Nixon.

But what about all the rest of it? There's quite a bit of it besides that, like eliminating pre-existing conditions and many other things. Repealing everything is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Of course, not including a public option made the new law only a pale substitute for what it could have been. But the public option will never happen, because the huge corporations and their paid big-media mouthpieces (and the millions of gullible believers in that big media) will never let it happen.

Comment Massacre (Score 5, Insightful) 343

Why is this being downgraded to a "massacre" now that we know the perpetrators aren't Muslim?

Call it what it was. It was a terrorist attack. That's a superset of massacre, and it wasn't merely some deranged nut suddenly going off--it was premeditated, and it was for political reasons. But it seems a lot of people are trying to push that under the rug.

Comment Free thinkers? (Score 1) 626

By your definition, someone who believes that 1+1=3 is a free thinker. He's not oppressed by the dogma in the scientific community, that suppresses and stifles any dissent!

And by God, if he's not allowed to teach the children that 1+1=3, then the socialist lobby with their Godless, homosexual, communist agenda has won!!1!!1
