Bad law, no matter who describes it. But, you continue to miss the point.
The point has been made over and over Jack,,
Its just for many folks to get used to the idea
its over now…and get on with life.
..In the end the laws consequences will be no
worse than worthy folks collecting Social Security.
At least thats the way I view it.
Poor people are an offense to God and the only reason they have ever existed is that they are inferior, and everyone knows it. It has nothing to do with being more generous, or more honest, or the victim of crimes and greed. And don’t tell me how a doctor’s entire lifetime of wages could be paid for with the cost of just one missle. Bombing brown people until they love us is far wiser and pleases God.
Bombing brown people until they love us is far wiser and pleases God.
So why is 0bama bombing brown people, and where is the leftwing outrage? He’s killed more brown people than Bush did at the same juncture of his presidency. Not a problem for you? Why not?
I think Mitt did a great job explaining that..
Dave Greasham@3
I assume that you are one sarcastic dude. I hope so.
#4 Why does this non-person suzie keep insisting there’s no outrage when in fact there is? Oh, that’s right, it’s a troll.
I missed the outrage, gdad. Be a dear and show a little for us.
#7 Golly gee whiz, Henry, I’ve expressed my disgust with the escalation in Afghanistan and the slow pull out of Iraq NUMEROUS times. As has Dan. Pay attention and you might learn something. Although probably not. Free Republic has no doubt turned what used to be your brain into mush.
Suzie you are absolutely right. That drone program is a disgrace, and Obama has expanded it likely beyond what we even know about it. Murder is not ok, even when it’s just done on a video screen from thousands of miles away like a game.
First Goober and now Andy. Rip Mr. Griffith. Your TV show set a high standard for character based comedy. Rarely is it matched.
#9 You men the drone program that just killed the #2 Al Qaeda leader? The guy who stepped into the void after Obama killed Bin Laden? You mean that program which is slowly decimating the organization responsible for 9-11?
I am willing to bet the farm that health care costs (insurance and medical care) will go up considerably when this law is implemented. I am also willing to bet the farm that supporters of the law will claim it would have been worse if not for the law (see stimulus plan/weak recovery).
Any “outrage” I have over the use of drones, “kill lists” and the efforts to hurt Al-Qaeda that does not involve boots on the ground in a war Obama did not start, is overpowered by the disgust I have for the folks who were good with and even defended torture, GITMO, Rendition, Indefinite Detention getting the “Deck of Cards” terrorists, and any other tactic Bush/Cheney allowed, who now want to pretend it is all new territory. Hypocrites!
wilbert, I am also “willing to bet the farm that health care costs (insurance and medical care) will go up considerably” regardless of this law or anything else we try until we go for the single payer controlled system like Medicare for all. This law is not “the fix”, it is the beginning. Yes, you may also safely bet that “supporters of the law will claim it would have been worse if not for the law (see stimulus plan/weak recovery)” just as the opponents of the law/stimulus/recovery will continue to lie, distort and defame any effort. Even the ones they invented, promoted, implemented, has been upheld in the SC and now denounced. Go figure.
