    Good grief, guys, newsflash: The most controversial element of Obamacare, pushed by Obama, the liberal, came from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. It doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be, a partisan issue. Judge it on its merits, not by whether you like the president or not.
    Professional conservatives have a lot of stupid ideas. For example, the current crop of professional conservatives in congress think it's a good idea to legalize millions of Mexicans who will inevitably put anything even remotely resembling conservatism into the grave where it belongs.

    There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

      On the merits, government should be running as little as possible (unless you like programs that cost more, and deliver less, than promised while going deeper in debt). Obama has little to do with why I don't like Obamacare; you've gotten that precisely backwards.
      As one of my heroes often says, 'yeah.'
      Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

          The number of Obama supporters is dwindling.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                My favorite Obamacare "success" story was the woman who signed up for her "free" government insurance, sent Obama a thank you note, Obama paraded her note before the press and patted himself on the back, and then less than a month later she was suddenly charged for the full amount which she couldn't actually afford. The funniest part is that she was so sure that as a single mother making $50,000 a year that she would qualify for the freebies when the fact is that she is being asked to pay for everybody else's freebies.

                Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                Than a fool in the eyes of God

                  Which is why I honestly prefer subjects with more levity.

                    I think we need to quit spacing out and get back on-topic.

                      Why do all of you gravitate to these kind of threads???

                        You don't think this is a weighty matter?
