How do you know this? If I remember correctly from your original post all you did was walk by them with your nose in the air like some pseudo-intellectual..... Then after assuming something that you had no proof about you scoffed at them for taking part in the political process. For shame Colonel...for shame.

The content of your opinion doesn't surprise me in the least. What it says is that you would rather go along with something bad then actually have something good. Which doesn't make too much sense here in the land of the conscious observer.

What we don't have is a single payer option to compete with private for profit unregulated insurance companies.

What we got....not by our choosing I may add....is a bill cobbled together by the private sector to rip off the common man. This health care system is now a state sponsored cartel to gut the American people and deny them care. Hence why true Democrats fought against it.

This is the Antithesis of FDR and Johnson's Great society. Another sad day in the land of the blind.

<sigh>

He is as dismissive and as arrogant as he claims that I am. Pot, meet kettle.

Tadao, you're right. Much as I've tried to drag a coherent thought out of him, it's just not coming. And that's a shame, because I think if he could just drop his facade of elitism he could present a few excellent points. Unfortunately, it gets lost in his attitude - I know more than you do, therefore you should believe me; if you don't you're a lemming. :noseintheair

I'm sure he has a few links, or a video that he'll show now to prove me wrong.

For the record, I've actually spoken to many protesters in my 50 years on this earth, and it has been my experience (not sound-bite, blog, or op-ed piece) that most individuals did not really know why they were protesting. They were there because someone told them to be there - in other words, they were doing exactly what Coolie has been accusing most of us, including myself, of doing - being lemmings.

Again, I have no sound-bite, blog or op-ed piece to show to prove me right. I don't particularly feel the need to prove myself to anyone, as this is only my opinion. Feel free to disagree, this is teh interwebs. Just try to do it in a non-condescending manner.

He made the mistake of joining a forum where people can pick apart his copy/paste wisdom. When asked to explain his ideals he resorts to being a faggot.

Let's see what any of this has to do with what Colonel wrote... Hmm, yes, yes... I have concluded that this has absolutely nothing to do with what Flagg wrote and that Coolinator is possibly schizophrenic.

Do I have to pull out the Exhibits again like I did in the global warming debate? You didn't like when I did that the last time.

Would any of them actually have to do with the discussion or will they just be kind of related and/or present ideas that everyone already agrees upon?

I think we should just make everything free. That way we wouldn't have to worry about healthcare or recessions, and doctors and other would work because it's necessary for survivalism, not for money.

The health care bill has turned the government into one giant bill collector for private for profit insurance companies.
