  1. Yes. Because when they do get new insurance it will cost them more so they can subsidize the poor people who can't afford insurance. Never mind though that the people that used to be able to afford to get insurance won't be able to anymore. You have to ignore that part, otherwise your brain will explode. Catch-22 one of my favorite books of all time.

  2. He doesn't have the political capital to get it or anything else major done other than by executive order. Plus he would just f it up again. Look for massive EPA rules and executive orders to combat global warming. That's the only card he can play now. He will f that up too.

  3. HK makes some great guns, but are you sure you want to blow that much cash on a new AR? Its like buying a new car, you fire one round out of that gun and how much value does it lose? My opinion, Buy him an heirloom gun, spend your money on something that will always be worth what you paid, especially if you're willing to spend that kind of dough. Find a nice Gen 1 single action army, or a Sharps rifle, maybe even an HK91 or a Belgium made FAL. Even an original 1903 with a unertl scope is a better buy than a brand new in the box HK, and he'd be able to actually use/enjoy those guns without worrying about destroying their worth just because he's shot a few rounds through it. Something to consider.

  6. Last I checked money says "In God we trust" not in a God we trust or in God's we trust. The pledge says one "nation under God" not...... one nation under a God. So I call malarkey on your statement about the founding fathers being deists, did you Magley or any of your descendants know them personally? Oh the history books and other writings say it to be true, so it must be true "cough, cough BS". Perspective of written history is exactly that, perspective can be said of the Bible as well. Atheism is alive and well, so you have nothing to fear I assure you .I do not berate a person for not being a believer, matter of fact it is quite the contrary, and plenty of non believers have also done some crummy things in the past and in the present "you love to bring up all the terrible followers of God throughout history". We do many things different here in the USA when compared to the rest of the world, at least that is how it used to be. I do not recall ever having creationism, any other religions or God shoved down my throat in school, yet everything else not related to the possibility of God is very much shoved down our throats. Oh the lies....... we must get rid of swearing upon the Bible and God in court, we must also do away with the same concerning the Presidential inauguration.........sure does not sound to me like the President is swearing to some random deity. Oh the damage that the belief in God is causing, oh the principles and values are just horrible for us. How dare NASCAR have prayer to the sky fairy before every race, that is so offensive!!!!! So now back to the topic at hand, I got myself off track again. The pledge of allegiance is all about unity, strength and patriotism in my eyes, all of which are in short supply these days. The almighty dollar is a much worse thing for us all the be pledging to, and that my friends is the great debacle we are in.

  7. I am sure you are just giddy about that too. Where do you have me stating or alluding to not being a Christian as a communist? You despise all religions and that is very obvious to me, yet you claim you are all about religious freedom "I don't believe you". You want a society that believes in nothing but science and human reason and logic, I am truly baffled at times about what you do stand for and where you draw the line. Like it or not this country is founded on the Christian faith "as flawed as it may seem at times" does that make much of Europe wrong as well? There is no perfect belief system when it comes to society, but I can assure you that one belief system is for sure growing and being massively catered to here. That belief system is changing the American culture and traditions that we have always had "it offends them", we are becoming the anti America in our own country. Here is a great solution...... lets do away with all things religious when it comes anything that currently is, yet those of us can enter our places of worship and celebrate certain holidays in our communities as we see fit. That puts everybody on the same playing field, no favoritism or conforming to religious beliefs in the workplace, any place public, state or federal government or any of our schools. Yes I believe that would solve many of our problems, but that just is not going to happen. This country is changing in some bad ways, and it has nothing to do with those pesky and hypocritical Christians. I have no problems at all with the pledge of allegiance, heck all countries have a friggin flag. It is a symbol of American freedom and of American strength and unity, so how can that be bad? Take the word God out of everything, heck I can care less because in all truthfulness it won't affect me one bit.

  8. My two cents: "Under God" was add to the Pledge of Allegiance on June 14, 1954. I'd rather see "Under God" removed and every child in every classroom saying the Pledge of Allegiance every morning than see it being removed from every classroom.

  9. At least we can agree on that! Spot on, most of these men were deists/unitarians, and only believed in a god/creator because there was no viable alternative at the time. I fully expect that if these men were alive today they would certainly be at very least agnostics (PAP- Permanent Agnosticism in Principle) or as I am, fully accepting of the fact that there are and never were any gods save for in the imaginations of people.

  10. So wait, you're also denouncing accepted history in favor of your own reviosionist brand...good little christian...keep fucking that chicken... I bet the founding fathers all believed in exactly the same god you believe in, and all said, we should make Brian's religion our official religion of the whole country... No wait, they didn't... They said this country will have NO established religion. http://altreligion.about.com/od/alternativereligionsaz/p/Deism.htm Incidentally John Adams is one of my forefathers directly, on my mother's side.

  11. You mentioned singing "god bless america" is now over, then called us "comrades"... I don't care if you believe me... Yes I think religion is a plague upon the human consciousness, but I'd much rather see it willfully abandoned than outlawed. Fortunately, that is the case, religion is falling out of favor faster than any religion is growing... Draw the line? I believe things that are testable, repeatable, and have evidence to support them. Where do you draw the line? That's very, very broad. Yes, the founding fathers were mostly "christian" but christian meant a different thing to them, most of them were Deists (look it up, they didn't believe in a living god who listened to prayers, or granted miracles, just in a designer of the natural order of the universe as they saw it), and all of them made it VERY clear that Christianity was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a national religion. So you can stuff that "this is a christian nation" malarkey back in your bag of tricks... it doesn't fly. Sounds good, let's do it...
