That's easy for you and I to say, but there are people who are marginalized, and treated with utter contempt. Public disapproval is a very real force of oppression.


I assure you it would only strengthen my will.

Think about what you just said, then think about how you and a good 3/4 of this board talk about conservatives.

I've seen plenty of conservatives write mean and nasty things themselves, I blame the internet.

I'm not impressed with moral equivalency, it's not an argument, and besides the point, which is that someone who's saying one thing while doing another might want to reconsider both.

You mean "Unaffordable Care". There used to be guy on here called Longshanks. I know him because we fought side by side. Heck of a guy. Best tactical search and rescue commander I ever saw. He won 29 battles and never lost a man. Always brought people home alive. He used to investigate medical fraud for the Feds. If you want to know why we have such a deficit, you should listen to him spout off the medical fraud figures - all verifiable. Don't believe everything the libs tell you. Last I heard, he works for a consulting company now - and that's what he does is consult on medical fraud. People have no idea what a fraud Obamacare is - but Longshanks can show you if anyone can.

it was the first affordable care available to me in years. without the subsidies my premiums would be $500+ per month, I don't know who outside of Richie rich who could afford that.
