In any case, I fail to see the difference between, "You sound hysterical," and "You are hysterical." But I suppose I should just be okay with the slight difference thereof as well as being called a hateful person too, right? (Honestly, I am, but I hate being held to a differnt standard.)
If the economy is his now, then the war surely is, as well. We aren't fighting to win it; we're fighting to fight it. He's paralyzed by going for either option - if he sends more troops, he enrages the left. If he pulls them out, he loses the support of the American people.He's not helping it; he's proloninging it and making it worse! It's obscene! And it was obscene when Bush was doing it! People are dying and he's paralyzed by politics!
I'm quite sure the Norwegians have no desire to fawn or idolise your president,
We can argue about that all day long, and neither of us would change the other's mind. But they DID want to slap the last one, and this was one way they could do it.
an intention to close Guantanamo
So they ARE rewarding intentions, like I said? And no, I didn't mention the nuclear disarmament because it's the same as Guantanamo: intentions. It's likely to lead me on a different tangent, so I left it out.
They say the difference between liberals and conservatives is the difference between good intentions and good actions. - A conservative is held accountable for his actions; a liberal is held only to his intentions.
"Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize." - President Barack Obama
Okay. Now even the President himself agrees that he hasn't DONE anything to deserve it. So forgive me if I'm offended for the ridculous accusations of "being blinded by dislike." (See: hate.) No, I just have an incapacity to understand what's really happening because I asked What and Why. Can the man never be questioned or criticized? Is it impossible that someone's intentions on that committee can be impure?
I wonder... Does the President dislike himself, too?
Let's clear up some myths about the barbaric United States of America: 1) Anyone in the United States can get healthcare with or without insurance, and with or without paying. Hospitals here that receive federal funding are REQUIRED to treat anyone that comes through the door. Unpaid medical expenses incurred by groups such as illegal immigrants are one of the contributing factors to our healthcare costs. NO ONE is arguing against this. Not a single. solitary. human being. - or American, since we're not quite human - with any possible credibility. It's a figment of the left's imagination! A way to demonize the opposition without having to debate the actual issue! 2) The 46 million uninsured - not untreated - is a farce of mythological proportions. An estimated 12 million are illegal immigrants. That brings us down to 36 million uninsured. About 18 million of them have an income of $50,000 a year; more than 9 million in this group make over $75,000 a year. In the United States, 83 million people are already on some form of government healthcare system - that's about 30% of our population. 14 million of America's uninsured are qualified for government insurance but have not applied. In addition, about 2/3 of all uninsured Americans are between the ages of 18-34: the invincible crowd. It's a risk they've chosen to take. Also something Universal Healthcare proponents will never tell you is that about half of those uninsured are only uninsured for 6 months to less than a year due to job changes and temporary situations. All in all, it's impossible to know the exact number of uninsured because some of these demographics cross, but it's at least dramatically less than the myth that 46 million Americans can't afford healthcare.
