I just remembered one of the nastier fascistic bits of the health care legislation that had nothing to do with health care; the part that abolished choice in student loans and established a monopoly ruled by an unaccountable elite. How does this help health care? How does it help anyone except the greedy and the power-hungry? One significant way this legislation does meet the definition of fascism/socialism: a total power grab by the ruling elites.<br />----------------<br /><br />Laugh of the day: Toad said of Republicans that they "less government controlling who you sleep with"<br /><br />I suggest you check to find out the party of the man who signed into law both DADT and DOMA. And realize that Pres. Obama campaigned on opposition to gay marriage (a stand very similar to that in California's "Proposition 8"). He also has urged the courts to keep DADT in place, using a <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-10-15/obamas-dont-ask-dont-tell-madness/" rel="nofollow">flimsly weasely excuse</a>.<br /><br />Sure, the Republicans would probably enact anti-gay legislation. The problem is those dang Democrats keep beating them to it.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-19851306921028299612010-11-07T09:40:16.444-05:002010-11-07T09:40:16.444-05:00Toad said: "The repeal of Obama care means le...Toad said: "The repeal of Obama care means less freedom and liberty for the people"<br /><br />How so?

Those statements don't refer to any Republicans I have seen in the government over the last 30 years....I don't know, was Nixon for those things??<br /><br />The repeal of Obama care means less freedom and liberty for the people, and I notice that you didn't put the phrase "fiscal responsibility" in there either because the one Republican who really did cut taxes was not a fan of either freedom or fiscal responsibility.<br /><br />Again, if you want lower taxes (for 98% of the rest of us), fiscal responsibility, true freedom and less government controlling who you sleep with, what birth control methods you use, who you can marry, what you can smoke, what women can do with their body, the insurance you can choose, what doctors you can see, whether or not you can join the army, etc. and a smaller government that doesn't spend trillions of Nation Building and our Empire, then clearly you need to be voting for Democrats. <br /><br />Ha ha, Republican and small government...Good one!Toad734https://www.blogger.com/profile/01450263690181812924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-30175920095845041022010-11-03T19:54:04.806-04:002010-11-03T19:54:04.806-04:00More like a "red tide," which we get fro...More like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tide" rel="nofollow">"red tide,"</a> which we get from time to time here on the east coast during the summer months and which is toxic and kills much of the marine life.<br /><br />The GOP will own whatever happens over the next two years. And what happens will no longer be just President Obama's doing.<br /><br />It's one thing to stand on the side lines and bitch about the coaching; it's quite another thing to actually play the game.<br /><br />PS.
