Some great nations, Imperial Japan for example, die with a bang. Others, like the Soviet Union, die with a whimper. The U.S. may be the first to disappear simply from going insane.
Conservatives went berserk when Chief Justice John Roberts upheld the constitutionality of Obamacare.
In fact Roberts was right; the Constitution puts the people in charge. Nothing in the Constitution requires the Supreme Court to correct matters when the people go mad.
Clearly, electing someone with no greater qualifications than Obama to president of the U.S., armed with thousands of nuclear weapons, was an act of madness.
He became an Illinois senator when his opponents miraculously faded away while gathering qualifying signatures.
As a state senator he mainly continued his work as neighborhood organizer. He mostly voted “present,” meaning he voted neither “Yea” nor “Nay” on issues.
One salient exception was the hassle over whether he voted to save an unsuccessful abortion attempt or leave the baby to die.
When he ran for the U.S. Senate his Republican opponent’s court-sealed unpleasant divorce record was somehow unsealed and exposed in Chicago. Surprise, surprise. As a U.S. senator he spent his entire time running for president.
No one has seen his college records; no one can find an old girlfriend or even a friend. His background is jealously guarded.
Closer to home we have Congressman Thompson who flies home frequently at enormous cost, grinning and grinning at social functions while our supervisors try to tax us to raise a few bucks to fix potholes. He can’t bum a ride from Pelosi; she lost her job and her big airplane.
Thompson runs as a “Blue Dog Democrat.” What a crock. Last year he bragged that he wrote the House part of Obamacare. Go to www.taxhike-mike.com for his real record.
Finally, check out our sterling Assemblywoman Mariko Yamada.
After pushing it in committee, she just supplied the deciding vote in the Assembly to send AB2346 to the Senate, which will require farmers to provide shade and cold water within a few feet of every farm worker as they work. The definition of shade is insane; trees don’t count. This will bankrupt farmers to pay off Yamada’s labor union support.
Roberts is right; we have till November to regain our sanity and kill Obamacare by ousting those who produced it.

If you are this uneducated and weak-minded, then I'll be sure to avoid hiring Kabatin Plumbing! I certainly wouldn't trust you with my toilets.

Randy, he is correct in that all the Republicans want is your vote and money.
Your opinions mean nothing to the party hierarchy.
It is so amazing that Randy and others of the talking point party, refuse to even try learning.
And the fallowing is with no one person or political mindset in mind, but to paraphrase Judge Judy,
"Ignorance can be overcome with learning, but stupid if forever"
I should stop here.

Like Glen Beck and the other Republicant blow-hards, Randy is a tool, a puppet- incapable of having his own thougts. He thinks being able to repeat things he hears on Rush or Beck is "smart"!
Isn't that cute! The parrot thinks he's people!

I believe that there is a saying, "Crazy is as Crazy is" Or is it "you may be smart, but still crazy"
One of those would apply in his case.
If it seems that I have very little tolerance for some one that believes only trees can give shade, then so be it.

So he thinks that Imperial Japan and the CCCP were great. Wow, dude, you must mean then, that republican democracies such as the USA and parliamentary democracies such as Canada, and European countries are someting less then your heroes, The Soviet Union and Imperial Japan.
Why not add Libya and n**i Germany to your list of great nations.
Randy, you really screwed up this time, The little credibility (and it was very, very little.) you had is now completely gone.

Other than that, I have know idea what happened to him while he was growing up, that reality and facts mean nothing.
Sad it is!

I do have a gun, but don't let that curtail our friendly 'discussion'. You can discuss an issue, right?

But of course since the workers most likely do not believe what you do their well being does not count.
One of these days Randy, you will state a true fact and no one will believe you.
Oh. thank you Rex for a dose of reality. I'm sure Randy has no clue as to what you mean by using facts.
I can't wait for his reply. I'm sure it will be a doozy. Give a good laugh I'm sure.

And here you sit griping about national healthcare, which every other civilized nation in the world has. The death of this nation is rooted in ignorance, not insanity.

As your mother has probably told you too many times, "sit down & shut up" if you can't behave civilly.
