And, by far, the most childish!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

And for most folks with any sense of morality, saving thousands of American lives is a good thing. Sure, the ACA didn't do anything to [personal attack deleted], but maybe [personal attack deleted] will help with that. Keep the faith and keep investing in Trump's booming stock market. And whatever you do, don't let the rowdy life of Boondock USA, stop you from fighting the good fight on the internet every day.

How sad is that?

Yeah, all those CEOs and shareholders of Insurance companies that are surely registered Democrats and that just had the government force money down their throats sure put up a fight...."so sad" how this situation is such a source of consternation for Republicans...yep, so sad...how will they survive?

Classic. When the ACA was in its first stages all we heard from idiots like subz was about this was government run healthcare. When reality proved them wrong and it turned out to be very much a market based system where private companies compete, they have to spin it in a hilarious way that is also hypocritical because we all know they don't give a flying damn about money going to private corporations. Of course, with millions more people buying insurance, obviously the insurance companies are going to benefit. That's how private business works.

yeah, and this fact was noted by posts, such as mine, during that time - but understandably it was beyond your ability to grasp at the time, since you had not joined the board yet.

Obama was like a blue light flashed on a hotel room, except rather than making disgusting bodily fluids appear, he made all the quiet disgusting racists come out of the woodwork and get a lot louder and (if possible) more obnoxious.

Quite an accomplishment.

All Drumpf did was exploit that fact. It's yet another thing for which Drumpf (the whiny little bitch) wants to take credit from Obama.
