Tuesday: Imagine a world without gay people............not a world I'd want to live in,not having Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, would alone be a deal breaker.I don't think homophobes realise how much of a void we would have in the world without the contributions of the gay community
The Young Turks are ultra liberal. One video so far and the only nut in the video was the moron commentator host. Michele Bachmann was right on in her assessment of Obama.
Tuesday: Yes and it's a metaphor but most uneducated democrats would miss it. We should be armed with the truth (even the Bible speaks using this exact metaphoric language) so that we can be dangerous to the opposition.
Knowledge is power. Leave it to wimpy minded liberals to resort to manufacturing a straw man.
Tuesday: No, it's because what she says is true. I see a president that is changing America into something other than what the founders intended. He'll be defeated. First in November and then in 2012.
Temo: Re:Name ONE thing he has done to change the country into something other than what the founders intended. ONE.
Tuesday: You will never achieve a utopia of financial equity. There will always be the haves and have nots. It's the haves that create the businesses that create the jobs. Like it or not, without the rich, there would be many many more poor people.
Temo: Re: who sail that liberals are cockroaches and must be killed?
Artful Dodger: It seems to be a right wing talk radio thing to refer to liberals as "cockroaches" who are subhuman It quickly follows that cockroaches are to be exterminated. Micheal Savage comes to mind as someone who outright advocates death. He once told a Gay man that he should "die of Aids".
There is also Glenn Beck's now famous tirade about killing Michael Moore or hiring someone to do it for him.
You may can cite samples of this kind of talk by liberal pundits. That's not responsible either. You might also laugh this kind of propaganda off as "sarcasm", but many people do not.
Temo: Re: who sail that liberals are cockroaches and must be killed?
Ferris Bueller: Micheal Savage is a bit radical and most conservatives take him with a grain of salt. for anyone suggest that Bachmann was suggesting taking up "guns" is laughable. I see such a ploy for what it is: desperation on the left because they know they are losing ground.
Why do you think you liberals are going to lose big time in November? People hate the policies of the left and they particularly hate the policies of Obama.
Temo: Re: who sail that liberals are cockroaches and must be killed?
Tuesday: This is rather big, far more than normal.
I like Michele and I like her message. I'm 100% with her. She's a smart lady and I agree that we conservatives (republicans, independents, and democrats) need to arm ourselves and get ready for a huge fight.
well-armed adj (well armed when postpositive) 1. having many or good weapons well-armed forces 2. suitably prepared in advance well-armed for an argument
Britan's NHS to make massive cuts and ration basic services Rick Moran Britain's national health care system is broken.
Duh.
What is truly pitiful, however, is the idea that the bureaucrats think that by tweaking things here and there that they can fix it. This piece in the Telegraph shows why that's akin to The Impossible Dream:
Some of the most common operations - including hip replacements and cataract surgery - will be rationed as part of attempts to save billions of pounds, despite government promises that front-line services would be protected. Patients' groups have described the measures as "astonishingly brutal". An investigation by The Sunday Telegraph has uncovered widespread cuts planned across the NHS, many of which have already been agreed by senior health service officials. They include: * Restrictions on some of the most basic and common operations, including hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and orthodontic procedures. * Plans to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from budgets for the terminally ill, with dying cancer patients to be told to manage their own symptoms if their condition worsens at evenings or weekends. * The closure of nursing homes for the elderly. * A reduction in acute hospital beds, including those for the mentally ill, with targets to discourage GPs from sending patients to hospitals and reduce the number of people using accident and emergency departments. * Tighter rationing of NHS funding for IVF treatment, and for surgery for obesity. Other changes include thousands of job losses and cost cutting for pediatric and maternity programs as well as care for the elderly. How about that American cancer patients; do you want a system that tells you to go to hell if you happen to be in unbearable pain on a weekend? And you better not have an accident - you might simply be turned away for lack of beds - and a lack of concern. We are told by national health care advocates - including our brand new Medicare chief Donald Berwick - that rationing is the wave of the future and there''s nothing that can be done except have government determine who gets what as far as health care is concerned. The pitilessness of the British model turns my stomach. And the hell of it is, Americans will not wake up to what Obamacare really means until they are personally affected by the changes. By then it will be far too late to step back from the brink and we'll end up like Great Britain; tinkering with a failed system that will only make things worse for everyone.
Temo: Re:You all need to stop attacking the president the way you do...making him out to be Hitler, anti-american, etc. It's dangerous.
Tuesday: according to you. Obama is fair game for any and all types of criticism. He's a slick willie. He's a liar. He lied in the campaign and he's still lying now. Why do you think he's losing so much of his base support. More and more democrats are admitting to buyer's remorse. they are sorry for having voted for the man. they feel let down.
And those democrats running for office are distancing themselves from Obama because he carries the stigma of death for any candidate. You can't see all this?
