Yeah, I'm joking on this. Seriously, most folks that declare themselves of the conservative philosophy seem to approach life, liberty and the persuit of happniness by being mean, selfish, dishonest, uncomprimising, unwise, unintelligent, reckless, uneducated, and immature. I've observed sixth graders with more maturity, ability, and patience then the whole of a Tea Party rally. The worst of it is, that most of these folks will hold Democrats and Mr. Obama over the most petty things every hour of the day; but give a 'blank check' for the folks they elect to office to wreck the nation.
The same can be said about Democrats. But, whatever.

Sorry, but there is nothing offically on the books called 'Obamacare'. There *IS* the Affordable Care Act, that was put into law in 2010.
Did you know what I meant? Sure you did. Communication happened properly. Stick to the script.
quote:
Have you read the ACA from cover to cover? All 2409 pages of it? Its a pretty.....dry....read, and will cure you of any sleeping problems you might have to handle in life. But like a good conservative, you havent read it, and speaking....just like the grand majority of conservatives....from a position of ignorance. It would actually answer most of your questions, if you actually took the time to read it. You might just find that the law is either decent or should be better.
Holy shit. The Democrats that voted on this, when pressed for an answer, admitted they didn't read the bill. I tried, but I didn't have the time to track down every little change to existing code. At least Conservatives wanted to know what was in the bill before passing it.
quote:
See doing all those things is the 'old school' concept of 'conservative politics'. Unfortunately its not consider 'Liberal and Moderate' positions by most conservatives across the nation. If it doesnt involve 'oil, natural gas, nuclear, or chemical energy, the GOP doesnt want it. So making yourself more efficient, energy wise is something the president adovcates in favor of. Again, are you really sure your a conservative?
The difference is this: I'm not being forced to do this. I'm not being coerced to do this. I'm choosing to do this because I'm a cheap S.O.B. that doesn't want to spend money if I don't have to. If I can cut my reliance on someone else providing something for me, I'm going to look into it. Why did I switch the bulbs in the most-used fixtures in my old house to CFL's? 1. lower energy usage. 2. more appealing light profile. 3. I didn't know about the Hg in them. Why didn't I switch *all* my fixtures to CFL's? I already had a lot of incandescent bulbs. The house my ex kept faces North. Wanna know why? So the greatest undisturbed roofing area faces south, which is where my area will get the best sunlight. It's all about the plan.
I support a person's right to choose their path. Oddly enough, that's not the Democrat's intentions. It most definitely is the Conservative agenda. Choose your path and accept the results. If it works, congrats. If it doesn't, try again.

Yes, voter fraud has taken place. How OFTEN does it take place, DS? As often as murder? Rape? Assault? Battery? Speeding? Reckless Endangerment? No? That is because voter fraud happens so absolutely infrequently as to warrent much attention. The goverment has dont studies on this, and the rate of actual voter fraud is less than 1% per state at best. But your wishing to create hurdles, rules, regulations and oh yes...spend money....on the elusive, shadowy, boogey man whom enjoys voter fraud once every four years? Isn't the GOP the organization that tells America its in favor of reducing regulations, rules, and goverment spending? How exactly does the B.S. get justified with that platform?
Conservatism relies on Capitalism, which is looked on as "Free Market" principles. No Conservative truly believes that Government has no business at all being in the Market. Not a single one. There are regulations that are absolutely necessary to maintain Market efficiency. Once people get their ID's, there is not much more of a need for increased costs, staffing, etc. I'm not going to support someone not pushing for necessary legislation based on the fact that we have too many laws on the books. If it's necessary, it's because it's not on the books.
What was the basis for the Financial Regulation Reform, the Dodd-Frank Bill? The recession. Would the regulations passed in the bill have prevented the recession? Not according to the CBO. Did we have enough regulation to prevent the meltdown? Yes, according to the Congressional report on the matter. Regulators were too busy downloading porn to catch it. It wasn't that we didn't have the necessary regulations. We had regulators asleep at the switch. More regulations would do what, then? Nothing. Did the Fed fuck up? According to the Congressional report, they did. According to that report, the Fed bears the most blame since they have been tasked with preventing shit like this
Did you know that the whole S & L crisis was caused, in no small part, by regulations?
quote:
Can you show up a credible study or report that shows voter fraud his higher than five percent? How about four percent? Why should I have to show my ID for something that happens less than 1% of the time? Are you stating that until everyone shows their photo ID they are in the process of voter fraud.....and must 'clear their good name' before voting? Yeah, that was 'old Europe' thinking that the Founding Fathers didn't like; that a person was 'guility' until they proved their 'innocence' beyound a reasonable doubt!
So, you're all about dismantling the TSA, right? I mean, everyone gets checked or else they're not allowed to fly. You get checked to prevent a crime. Glad you're with me on that.
