    The Bizarro World of Today's Conservatives?

    Hi TAL, I'm talking about the time when the 'big 3' of NBC, CBS, and ABC were the primary sources of news for most Americans. That every policy that they would have wanted enacted wasn't put into place doesn't change the fact that liberals controlled the media during this time...

    Obama's worst moment

    It's good to see our little Barry grow up before our very eyes. But seriously, it looks like a rather irrefutable common sense argument has irked the liberals (or whatever they are calling themselves these days) here. He said that evil exists in the world. Is this a scandalous thing to say...

    The Bizarro World of Today's Conservatives?

    I would say that the breakup of liberal monopoly of the news media can explain this clash of worlds so to speak. A lot of liberals long for the good old days when NBC, CBS and ABC newscasts were treated as the gospel truth. This is where mainstream was big government, pro-choice and host of...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Alceste, That's weird because your government pays for its citizens to come to places like Detroit to get the healthcare that the benevolent Canadian government denies to its citizens. And since when is it Christian charity if you don't give (tax evasion) the government comes after you...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Alceste, So the right to health insurance is in the U.S. Constitution? You are good, we just need to get you on the hunt for bin Laden because you can find things anywhere.

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Mr. Sprinkles, U.S. Bureau of the Census, "Changes in Median Household Income: 1969-1996," Current Population Reports, P23-196, p. 1

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi mball, That darn freedom. Here is where you put your ideological blinders on. In countries like Canada and Great Britain everybody is 'covered' by the government but does everybody have access to healthcare. No, in many ways it is much worse than it is here. In the UK pregnant...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Mr. Sprinkles, So, you are arguing that in Great Britain's NHS decision to withhold the availability of drugs is evidence of the free market at work? Are you seriously making that argument? Let me clue you in on a few things about the free market; in the free market the government...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi Sunstone, What I don't understand is who cares what Rush Limbaugh thinks? Rush Limbaugh has no power over you; he can't raise your taxes or take away your insurance. Who cares if he did believe that poor people don't deserve healthcare. How would that affect you at all? Your attention...

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi mball, TAL said this in post 38:

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    I already addressed the issue then. Unfortunately the federal government has made it illegal for someone to purchase health insurance across state lines. Not only that but many states force insurance companies to offer the same price regardless of the risk (called 'community rating'). So, maybe...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi mball, I'm going on the safe assumption that 20 or 30 years ago 25% of teens weren't infected with an STD. I could be wrong. That is why I brought up the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. I'm Catholic if you haven't noticed. So, there is no sex outside of marriage. So, when you say that this...

    What has Sarah Palin actually done?

    Hi Contentius, Yes, because I don't believe it has been shown that the 25% of teens with an STD were taught abstinence-only education. Not that this can actually been proven so it is most likely a moot point. And the larger point I am making is that I believe that teens are more sexual...

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi mball, Darkness said that part of her wretched political ideology was that she believes homosexuality is a sin. Then TAL brought up the whole gay marriage issue.

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi mball, I know, it must be tough to be a homosexual in the U.S. Being in shackles in all and not allowed to work in many industries here. That is my point. Palin would have basically no effect on gay marriage or the lives of homosexuals. The point again is, Palin has little to do with...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi xkatz, Why do people hate this? It makes no sense for a person with a chronic conditon to purchase health insurance. You would be buying healthcare. Healthcare and health insurance are two different things. All a person with a pre-existing condition is doing is asking the insurance company...

    Rush Limbaugh Believes the Poor Don't Deserve Healthcare

    Hi challupa, If people can buy their own healthcare in countries with socialized healthcare, then why were Canadians coming to Detroit for healthcare?

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi Smoke, My point was that Palin has little to no effect on gay marriage. And in every state where people can actually vote on the issue, gay marriage loses. So, this whole 'Palin will stop gay rights' argument that someone else was making is nonsense because many Americans have already...

    Hitchens surprisingly misunderstands Palin's conservative appeal

    Hi mball, And my point was that Palin has little to no effect on the question of gay marriage. In every state that gay marriage has been on the ballot it has lost. I think it is now 30 states where gay marriage has lost when put up to a vote.
