    Hinting at stupid is not commenting on the post but rather the poster albeit in a slightly indirect way. Boo
    Calling someone a sycophant is again an indirect way of hitting at the poster. Boo, again.
    I don't recall the arctic drilling incident so can't comment on that unless you care to elaborate.
    Selling Iran nuclear technology again is so vague that I can't comment unless you care to elaborate.
    Keeping GTMO open is because of the Republican Congress and not because of Obama.
    Keeping troops in Afghanistan is a good idea although drawing down is also a good idea. Advocating is one of Obama's errors in the early stages of his Presidency in my opinion. That one did not occur to me off the top of my head.

    I'm all for people being decent to each other and taking care of one another.

    I'm also one that grows tired of hearing things like healthcare is a human right.

    Health care is a human right? How so? Please eaborate on how you beleive it os yourcrightvto tax me for your health issues?

    Hate, so then to be fair, does that mean that every human who chooses to sit on the couch drinking soda and eating potato chips hate those that take care of themselves aNd dont impose thier health issues on others?

    Being a Decent human being is having self control and discipline and sef respect enough to take care of ones body, so health issues dont arise, forcing others to deal with.

    This country has an obesity problem due to increased employment driven by the brain and not physical labor. So, because people choose not to excersize regularly to counteract our evolving labor force life styles, everyone else should pay for the eventual health issues these choices created?

    I dont think so.

    Health care isnt a human right, but do you know what is?
    The right to care for yourself.

    We get taxed. Whether we should or not is a different debate, but we get taxed.

    When we vote for people, we are essentially declaring how we would like our tax dollars to be spent.

    Some people would rather a larger portion of our taxes go to making sure our country, the richest country in the history of the earth, can take care of its citizens health care.

    Some people would rather build a wall.

    To each their own.

    I always knew I liked you.

    Not even going to respond to uncompassionates anymore.

    Some of us think taking care of sick children no matter what is a priority.

    Some of us want to keep restocking our dildo collections instead of letting little johnny live. Or build a wall. Damn mexicans!

    Not me.

    I get what I need and I pay for what I need.

    No need to complicate things with exhorbitant fees to a needless middleman industry.

    So you're not on Medicare? A benefit you paid into and earned?

    Well thank you! The rest of us appreciate your sacrifice.

    EXACTLY. We get taxed. I want my tax dollars to go to HELPING OTHER PEOPLE. End of story. If people have an issue on that, that's on them, and I feel sorry they lack compassion and don't want to spend money WE GET TAXED ON ANYWAY to go to helping others.

    Some people are assholes that only care about themselves. We are lucky that some of them are so deep in their roots that they so easily identify themselves i guess?

    That way we know they are uncompassionate bad people who don't deserve our time.

    I'm sorry, I fail to see the connection between the Wall and health care.

    Too young, I'm just a pup.

    But thanks for reminding me how Obama stole from my future Medicare, a benefit I paid into and earned, to subsidize illegal aliens getting Obamacare.

    The question was to me, about me.

    Stop trying to make everything about you.
