Don't ya just love how rightwing assholes can NEVER EVER say ANYTHING that even remotely resembles the TRUTH?
It's WHY conservatives took over America, overthrew the constitution, and installed Bush as dictator.
Rightwing conservatives in America are a joke, and traitors, and seditionists, and liars, and phony, and stupid to boot.
It's not that people won't pay for health care. It's that people don't want to OVERpay for healthcare.
We have the most expensive least efficient health care system in the world.
I don't want to 'bargain' for my health care.
My food is only as good as the number of suppliers make my food
What I want is collective bargaining for affordable health care.
Again, another dumb ass ayn randian conservative that still does not understand that they are full of shit. Get used to it, you'll be full of shit the rest of your days. It's people like you that still do not understand why conservatives are a joke, not because I say conservatives are a joke without any credibility. It's because conservatives really are a joke and have no credibility.
"The blinders that rich people in the US use to not see the large percentage of the population which isn't well off are are amazing. There are a shitload of people for whom a 60" HDTV is just not an option, and for whom lack of health care insurance is a real hardship."
Yes that is correct. Because 90% of baby-boomer/Gen-X generations of Americans are not only clueless about everything in the world, contribute nothing to the world but consumption, have no real opinion about anything unless they consult Rush Limbaugh first, but are mean-spirited, self-centered, bigoted, hateful, conservative Americans who have dishonored everything their grandparents fought for in WW II. The WW II generation was the last great generation. It appears that the millennial generation might actually be a real force of good in the world as well.
But baby-boomers? My generation? (Gen-X) Jokes. Worst two generations of Americans ever. Baby boomers are the worst because they are the generation that actually left America worse off to future generations than when they inherited it. Gen-X because they sold out to the conservative dogma and never wanted to actually do the heavy lifting of progress. So the millennials will have to come in and wipe everyone's ass to right the American ship. So it's time for Gen-X and the Boomers to have a nice big cup of shut the fuck up.
And yet, statistically speaking, the poor are having far more children than the rich. Somehow they're affording it.
Actually, no, they are not affording it. Not even close. I am not going to get into a pissing contest about poor people having babies, not using contraception, getting an abortion/not getting an abortion. Either you know the stats or you refuse to look them up. But I will say this. I don't care how much it costs in the history of the United States for the amount of welfare that has been paid out. Nor how much it will cost to educate the underclass so they can become middle class, hence, NOT POOR.
But I will say this. The republican led congress under bush gave FAR MORE MONEY AWAY to the wealthiest 5% of The People and Corporations (TEN TRILLION DOLLARS...that's right $10,000,000,000,000.00). So your baby-boomer yuppy 'I know everything' attitude is total bullshit. Conservatives are a joke. Dittoheads cannot govern. Conservatives make terrible managers and Ayn Rand was a deceptive bitch who never worked an honest day in her life. Phyllis Schafly is a liar. So is George Will. So is William Kristol. So is Grover Norquist.
Everyone that has been involved in the 'conservative' movement for the past 20 years...guess what? YOU WERE WRONG. People died because you were wrong. So go FUCK YOURSELVES!
It's people like YOU that do not realize that there are MORE SLAVES IN EXISTENCE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW THAN AT ANY OTHER POINT IN HUMAN RECORDED HISTORY. There are slaves in existence RIGHT NOW in America
Don't believe me. Don't listen to what I say, I know you won't. You'll sit there are try to make up some smart ass comment or 'troll rate' me to make yourself feel better about yourself. I don't give a FUCK. The people that voted, supported, and gave power to Bush are the people that ruined the country. These are the same people that would have had slaves 200 years ago. All of you can go FUCK YOURSELVES.
And one more thing:
You nimrods talk about cutting taxes...you set the tax rates from the HIGHEST INCOME level FIRST and cut the taxes on the guy making LESS MONEY. You don't look at the guy on the top of the income chart and cut his taxes first. Another deceptive conservative Grover Norquist cannard.
It's not about 'If you make more you pay more' moron...it's 'If you make LESS you PAY LESS'. And the people in America that are making the MOST money are NOT paying their fair share. They ARE being unpatriotic.
By temperament and voter registration, I'm a Republican; however, I voted for (and hope for) an Obama win because the path the government has taken over the last 7-8 years has saddened and disgusted me. I'm glad he won.
But, I am not a "believer." Now that the opposing party is in charge (just like the GOP was for all those years) it's going to be hard for them to put away all those neat new toys that Bush & Co. left behind. This is because it's hard for the party on top to admit that a power or capability is too dangerous to use (dangerous as in potentially or outright abusive of Constitutional rights.)
If there were ever a prime time to hold your government's feet to the fire over policy, now is the time to do it. Otherwise, it will be fait accompli, and we'll start hearing things from this administration (and its supporters) like, "But we're not Bush; we're better than him!"
Just my inflation-adjusted 2 cents...,
Unlike these other jokers in here that think they are republicans, I believe you, sir, are a true republican. It's a shame there are so many folks in your party that cannot measure up to your standards. For if they did have a reasonable mind like you, America would be a much better place, and being bi-partisan wouldn't have a stigma, indeed, it would be a great way to get things done.
I've felt that Americans should always hold their public servants feet to the fire - no matter what party that be. There are quite a few democrats I'd like to replaced...Steny Hoyer comes to mind, and Harry Reid, and Jello Jay Rockefeller, and he's not a democrat, but I definitely want Lieberman out too.
"Although I do agree that these people need to be getting some sort of trial before they are held indefinitely. However, if they are not American citizens, they are not subject to the bill of rights."
I have 4 words: GO FUCK YOURSELF ASSHOLE.
That's right, non-Americans don't get the bill of rights. You know why? Because they get the UNIVERSAL BILL OF RIGHTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE UNITED NATIONS. This issue is bigger than your pea-brain can swallow. Go back to listening to Rush Limburger. Conservatives are a joke.
And again, like the previous
The managers are the dead weight. Most are overpaid pinheads with MBAs on their walls and Atlas Shrugged and The Prince on their book shelf - and the few that are good get marginalized by the incompetent ones, reducing their effectiveness or worse...forcing them out. And since a manager makes 2 - 3 times or great what a developer makes...that's the money drain.
Watchmen movie is a perfect example of 'overeducated' Ayn Randian Fox executives not knowing WTF they are doing...WB is another. Microsoft is a sterling example of a company being run by a moron in need of a hair transplant.
The flaw with all this isn't that the wiretapping is legal/illegal, it's that in reality, FISA itself is unConstitutional. But what do I know? I'm just a constitution loving, taxpaying, voting American.
