    I thought all tax legislation had to originate in the House. The ACA passed the Senate 12/24/2009 and then the House 3/21/2010.

    I have called myself conservative, but I can assure you I have offended other conservatives before. It is a label that is way too broad, I am my own party of one.

    Liberty is to politics what atheism is to religion. Lack of something instead of an overarching belief system with its fundamental assumptions. People on the left have replaced god with socialist government, it fills the same need that people have for some sort of larger entity in control of everything. The trouble is that this is a greater danger to my own liberty than any american religious group since in order to get what they want, the left needs to control everyone. When I offend them they react in the same manner as religious people do when offended.

    There is nothing really offensive in this thread since I am agreeing with Obama, so your reaction is kind of strange yet revealing at the same time. I don't know of anyone defending Roberts' argument very vigorously. Liberals don't care, they won.

  5. Mav,

    I felt I needed to make it clear that I agree with the post I quoted from you when I responded to this thread earlier. I don't, however, agree with or appreciate some of the language you use, especially in the opening sentences of this thread. I respect your right to express yourself, but this is a public forum. Please respect others who might be reading your comments. Thanks.

  6. You're delusional, your post above, like the seatbelt story about my dad is fiction. Difference is I know when I'm bullshitting, you don't know when your full of it.
