Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun

Political solutions eventually require mass murder when they fail if the fail is large enough.

Folks who believe so generally get shot.
We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.

If my wife dies of cancer that your healthcare system fails to cover I will be coming with a rifle for my revenge on the ultra rich. Fair warning.

I've been saying for a long time, the only way the FedGov is going to be able to pay it's bills is if a large chunk of the people who are owed the money simply won't need it anymore.


For the longest time I just thought the Democrats were stupid, but years ago I realized a more ominous possibility exists.

That's the attitude of too many today, its =YOUR= fault if you don't pay for my misfortune. The work you did to create wealth and you having nothing to do with creating his misfortune don't enter into their calculus. The spoliation and ruin from their plundering is also neglected.

An attitude too much French Revolution, to <bleep> with the American Revolution.

Much sanity can be saved by not bothering to read the rantings of idiot kooks.

The Spammer is perfectly welcome to go after the ultra rich denizens of California, most of whom voted for the One anyway. That is if he could manage to even obtain a rifle in his state. Then again it's not the Republican healthcare plan which is causing cancer patients to lose their care right her and right now even in California, right where the spammer lives:

Of course our oh, so classy administrations answer to the women's pleas is a "Let them Eat Cake" Socialist style elitism. Considering where the spammer lives and the probable value of house in his town, I would have to guess that he is already in the top 1% and also one of those freeloaders who want healthcare on hardworking people's dime.

You never challenge anything I say in a meaningful way. You are all about snark without substance. There is no "there" there.


It is a manifestation of your deluded reality that you even think you are challenging anything.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity and/or incompetence...paraphrasing Napolean.

For the death of my wife? No, not particularly. Mind you, I probably won't have to make good; she doesn't have a lot of cancer in her family.

But the principle stands.

Why, do you not care enough for your wife to bother? If I may ask then, why did you bother to marry her?

No, it's your fault if you steal the money that should have paid for her healthcare, and would in any other country.

And like always, you try to ignore the stealing part and pretend it never happened.

That's as likely to make me go insane and start shooting as anything. You don't care; you just want the money. You don't value anything above money and anyone who does is "insane."

Oh no. I'll be headed for the Koch brothers first of all, then the Waltons. I think they're Midwest. If I survive that then we'll see. I'm not really concerned with the other half of the ultra rich; they're paying their way.

And in any case, this is all hypothetical anyway.
