But it's not like Obama doesn't catch plenty of s*** here from me, balta, bs etc. granted it is from the left, but theres not unwavering praise. Why, you all got what you wanted, except becoming f***ing robots for the government. Line up for your chip. Oh, right, health care is not far enough left, we're not a marxist state (yet), and we haven't become France. If you like that style so damn much, go live there and leave us the hell alone. Oui Oui.

StrangeSox Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I wish we had a real, modern health care system like France instead of the pro-corporate insurance reform we got which will likely be struck down in a couple of months. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that your insistence that ppaca will bankrupt the insurance industry and leave us with single payer are true!

To say you can't is a strawman. See, the thing is, many people can't buy insurance. But you know this, you are just making a bad faith argument. It's pathetic that many poor americans have to rely on once-a-year clinics run by groups like doctors without borders if they can get non-emergency care at all. Best system in the world!

CanOfCorn Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Maybe someone should introduce legislation banning divorce. Then we'll see where the Christian Right sits. Cuz, ya know, we breeders do marriage SO WELL.... (Full Disclosure: My wife and I are both on our second marriages.

Balta1701 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 President endorses gay marriage in interview with ABC. F***ing A. "I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama told Roberts, in an interview to appear on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday. Excerpts of the interview will air tonight on ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
