    Obamacare is Dead - Long Live Healthcare!

    How many people draw benefits from Medicare and how many people pay into it? Can you not see the Medicare is barely treading water when EVERYONE pays for it and only a handful draw benefits. And what is this garbage about "hating" people. Why is it everything with you Liberals is a personal...

    Are anti-Discrimination laws just?

    Instead of the usual insults why not try to answer the question? Because you Liberals have only dogma, you can't even break down your own arguments. Need me to do it for you?

    Two Health Care Systems

    Looking at the world through dogma as usual I see. We have enough people to have two systems. There would be no disproportionate allocation of resources. I'm sure enough of you Liberals have jobs to pay for those that don't with only a quarter of the population. You'll do fine without us.

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    Yet to be disproven and well exemplified that is for sure. Much thanks to you and padawan. BTW, look up the word "reiteration." Nothing I said in the post above was a reiteration. Every sentence was in reference to a different component of a larger logical scheme. Perhaps you were unable...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    You really think that is a valid comparison? We have no choice but to accept that which is necessary for life. Heterosexual sex is necessary for their existence as well as everyone else's, so it technically can not be "in their face." Think clearly, not from dogma.

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    I once worked with a couple gay guys - one was my supervisor. They were very "in your face" with their lifestyle and sometimes inappropriate. And they created an atmosphere in which our acceptance of them was tested and an issue was made of how gay friendly we were. I remember the one guy...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    I consider my point proven. Liberals like the two above are incapable of thinking by any means other than dogma and project this onto Conservatives. Padawan has no response and Jeffchr utterly failed to comprehend my last post. I think my work is done here.

    Two Health Care Systems

    Since so many on the Left are so into the notion of a public option why don't we do this. There are 300 million people in the US, plenty for two systems. So, those of us wishing to keep our current system can do so. We will be group A. Those in favor of a public option will be put into...

    Obamacare is Dead - Long Live Healthcare!

    This forum is becoming so predictable it is getting boring. Typical accusations of "bigot, homophobe, misogynist," etc. Where is the originality? I make a comment about the people who would be handling our health care being similar to that of the DMV and of course the comment is...

    To Hell with the Baby Boomers!

    I agree. They screwed things up in more ways than we even know. Forcing women into the workforce contrary to their nature and best interest was one of their more brilliant ideas. They were so drunk off the notion of equality that they failed to think about the ramifications. And nobody likes...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    Wrong. Try reading it again. The major claim was that Conservatives do not only think by way of religious dogma as often claimed by Liberals. This is easily demonstrated. My minor claim was that Liberals believe this because they themselves only think through dogma and project that onto...

    Who the Fu*k You Are and What the Fu*k You Stand For

    I am, among many other things, a person who is no longer shocked but never the less saddened by the notion that we have become a Nation filled with people who can sum up all of their beliefs about life in a few paragraphs. They sum up life within a bumper sticker and then have absolute...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    Every high school should organize educational tours of Detroit. Being here is an eye opener, learning experience and something that improves ones world view. When you are in a city with an unemployment rate that is consistently about 3X the National average; nearing 50% right now by some...

    Obamacare is Dead - Long Live Healthcare!

    Is anyone here really qualified to judge how our health care compares to the rest of the world? Last I checked, we lead the way in invention, innovation, capabilities, drug development and just about every other area. If a person needs advanced medical treatment there is no other place a...

    Read the OP for the point - it is one that Padawanbater is proving quite well for me.

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    I would vote to ban proselytizing period - I find it that annoying. The problem is, it is the most fundamental underlying basis for the first amendment. Courts have even ruled that people may trespass in order to proselytize. I know because I called the cops on those fuckers before. As what...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    Blah, blah, blah - now you sound like the adults in the old Charlie Brown cartoons. Now you are going to take a poll of pot smokes to prove that your ideas are more rooted in fact than mine - gee, you are just full of brilliance today. And you are asking me to prove a negative - another...

    Are anti-Discrimination laws just?

    Of course this is true. But, doesn't that just prove that we don't need all these laws to prevent discrimination? I want to hear some solid reasons for why the Government ought to suppress the rights of private citizens to associate with, or do business with whom they chose. So many in this...

    Time to End "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    BINGO! I treat my employees great, and in return I expect certain things including a level of professionalism. This term BTW, pretty much sums up everything we are saying. Showing up for work with your heart on your sleeve is not professional. Likewise, to even think that your sexuality...

    Conservative Does No Mean Christian.

    No it doesn't. Only a fool believes that opinions having to do with politics and social issued can be proved. To believe this, one must be ignorant of the meaning of proof and the abstract nature of social issues and of life in general. Your inability to see how easily Conservative thinking...
