I support Obama and the Dems 110% and all, but poo poo like this really needs to stop:quote:Massachusetts pioneered universal health care in 2006. Under then-Governor Mitt Romney, it was the first state to guarantee access to insurance — and drove its uninsured rate down to just 4 percent. http://www.vox.com/2014/5/12/5691934/how-massachusetts-screwed-up-obamacare What the gently caress, Massachusetts? Same poo poo happened in Oregon and Maryland, all three run by Dem governors with Dem legislatures. Not a single one of these states can fallback on the excuse that Republicans are loving things up.

Since we were talking about the Pope a few pages back, I did have a question that I've been wondering for a while. I'm not a Catholic, so I don't know how the Church is supposed to be run, but are Catholics supposed to follow what the Pope commands? Or is the Pope just a figurehead type person who offers suggestions and guidelines but that no one actually needs to listen to?

I find it odd that Ambassador Stevens was the one and only one person in Obama's entire administration who Republicans just absolutely adore. Hillary? Nope. Holder? Nope. Sebellius? Nope. I guess this is all just a happy coincidence.

El Rushbo posted:“The Regime, Hillary, Michelle Obama sympathize with Boko Haram,” Limbaugh said. “They’re blaming the Christian Nigerian government for creating Boko Haram, and they want to get rid of the Nigerian government, because if you do that, if you appease the terror group by getting rid of the group you think is responsible for their existence, then you’ve made peace with them. You’ve made friends with them and they’ll leave us alone, or whatever convoluted thinking. I’m sorry, my ability to comprehend liberalism only goes so far.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/05/13/rush-limbaughs-explosive-claim-about-radical-terrorist-group-boko-haram-and-the-obama-regime/ Really love the bolded.

I have a question about the VA scandal in the news. Conservatives like this douche are bragging about how the problems at the VA prove socialized medicine doesn't work (and for once actually uses the term "socialized medicine" in an accurate manner). But isn't one of the major problems that there's been a massive influx of veterans trying to seek medical attention in the past few years? Apparently, funding HAS increased under Obama, but it looks like it didn't increase nearly enough to compensate the veterans coming in.

Dr. Ben Carson goes on The View and eviscerates lazy welfare queens:quote:When you rob someone of their incentive to go out there and improve themselves, you are not doing them any favors. When you take somebody and pat them on the head and say, ‘There, there, you poor little thing. … Let me give you housing subsidies, let me give you free health care because you can’t do that.’ What would be much more empowering is to use our intellect and our resources to give those people a way up and out.” Of course, this doesn't apply to himself, naturally: quote:No doubt, Mother Carson deserves tremendous credit, but – in the words of a political sound bite from the last presidential election – she didn’t do it alone. Carson, in his book, tells how his grades improved tremendously when a government program provided him with free eyeglasses because he could barely see. Not only that, in “Gifted Hands” we read this nugget: “By the time I reached ninth grade, mother had made such strides that she received nothing but food stamps. She couldn’t have provided for us and kept up the house without that subsidy.” But it's okay! Cause Carson has a totally legit reason why it was okay for him and his family to be moochers: quote:It’s hard not to see Carson’s own upbringing coming into view here. He grew up in meager surroundings in Detroit and Boston, in a family that made use of public assistance programs like food stamps. The culture was different then, Carson insists. “I think there was a time when people were not proud of taking handouts,” he said. “There were more people who did have that drive and determination. You do what you have to do." See? No hypocrisy or assholery here, no sir.

Joementum posted:"If you like your religion, you can keep your religion." ~ Bobby Jindal on Obama's position on religious liberty. So...if you're a Christian, Obama's going to somehow take away your Christianity? How would that even work? I know, I know. Conservative humor isn't supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to be used to attack Democrats, but still.

agarjogger posted:Interweb I think I'd love to know about the origins of your avatar more than I'd like to know about right-wing psychology. This was way back, shortly after I registered. Originally the avatar, which was bought by someone else in the gaming section, was just a regular pic of Gabe Newell, with the text saying "Official SA Gaming News correspondent" (or something to that effect). Shortly after that, I seemed to rub someone the wrong way (I could be wrong, but I think it was Louisgod) and so he altered that pic to what it is right now. Might not be the most exciting or interesting origin story, but there ya go.

vulturesrow posted:So that minimum wage increase to 15$ in SeaTac is working out well. Of course there was really no way to know what might happen. That may be some lovely right-wing think tank/propaganda factory, but as I said in the Dittohead thread, I really hope the wage hike won't be high enough to have any significant negative impact. Conservatives will use that to argue against any min. wage increases from now until the end of time.
