    Merely thinking about obamacare (aka the affordable care act) – makes me want to shit my pants

    As does thinking what the republican party used to be / used to stand for.. and what it has now bastardized into (a bunch of milk toast – white bread idiots)

    Blow the whole damn thing up… let China be the world leader for awhile… and lets rebuild this kluge of a nation into what we once were;

    A true economic / military leader where innovation, individualism, and personal responsibility were heralded

    Possibly even get to a point where we look out for each other

    ==========

    Oh, and anyone possibly interpreting my “get back to what it once was” as going back to some sort of racial divide / inequality – I don’t give a shit what color you are

    You want something - work for and earn it

    But I do care if you’re an illegal alien – if you are – GTFO of my country

    ===========

    And if we can’t get back – then fuck it all – we deserve exactly what we've allowed to happen – or at least you do

    Count me out :)

    Happy Weekend All

    One thing I will say is that there is a rise of conservative parties around the world. In Australia, a strong conservative won the PM job. In France, the National Front party (far right) won a surprising election. And there is a rise of a similar "tea party" all throughout the EU.

    Why? People are feed up with what the socialists have done to these once great nations, and a movement is starting. Tired of no jobs, no growth, massive debt, etc. It all is to benefit the privileged elite few at the cost to the masses.

    So, when will the USA wake up from this socialist onslaught? Hopefully soon (2014 elections).

  6. you fell for it. Maverick posted a chart from the Heritage foundation. An extreme right-wing group, akin to the tea Party. (too right for most republicans)

  7. You are missing the point. ObamaCare is a money solution, not a quality solution.
    Thats why Americans will come to LOVE it.
    Im pretty sure quality will degenerate on average.

    You're missing the point. Now not only will poor people be priced out of the health insurance market, but the middle class will be squezed out too.

    It's no different than Obamanomics. He claims to want to help the little guy, but real median incomes and real net worths are down significantly under Obama for all groups but the wealthy.

    Only about 10-15% of that bill is worth keeping. The rest will lower quality and raise costs.

  9. Exactly...not to worry though...there will be such low enrollment amongst those who are most needed to subsidize this debacle that it will be a throw away in a few years.

    When people are asked to throw away hundreds to thousands per month in premiums PLUS massive deductibles, there just isn't enough money in most people's budgets for this crap.

    O-care took a terrible situation and made it infinitely worse. If the libtards around here were honest with themselves, they'd see that it was a complete sellout to the insurance cos...but no, they simply defend it at all costs.

  10. Do you guys... seriously :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Mkay, do you know what subsidies are and how they work????

    Im gonna try one more time. Just to appeal to if any logic exists.

    1) If obamacare is destruction of the USA, the republicans can just do nothing, and reap the rewards.

    DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?:eek: :eek: :eek:

    So why they fight EXTREMELY hard, all the way up to Gerrymandering, SupremeCourt, Shutdown.

    2) Obamacare is implemented in virtually all western countries.

    THINK PEOPLE.
    THINK.
    THINK.

    :( :( :(
