Let's pray, on this Palm Sunday, that this country will never again sink to the Hellish depths that we did under Bush and the Republicans!
While those are nice numbers, I don't believe that under the Constitution, any of those alternatives are to be provided by government.
Please...we know much of that would be funneled to ACORN to perpetuate voter fraud and Planned Parenthood to murder more babies.
First, the comment by anonymous is ignorant, but we all know that...
Second, no Briggman, those numbers are not "nice" and your rebuttable is as dumb as anonymous's. Nothing in the post mentions that the government should pay for those things...you damn fascist.
Lastly, I hope America remembers that this is what you get when the Supreme Court selects an ignoramus who makes decisions based upon "God speaking to him" and a pre-conceived plan to invade Irag because Daddy screwed up the first time.
REAL anonymous, you f'ng moron. Democrat legislators voted for the war. Now, a Democrat President is perpetuating it. The world is safer without Saddam. Or, it was, until this namby pamby punk community organizer got elected. Now, all the world's bad guys feel that again they can get away with any damn thing they want because we have a pansy in the White House who won't oppose them.
