Well, what do you expect an America-hating terrorist to say? Surely you're not suggesting that we bow to their demands and change our culture to something "more acceptable" to them, thinking that that'll make them leave us and our allies alone?

Of course not.
Between Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Queda and the Taliban, to name but a few,(oops, can't forget the Iranian revolutionary guard, Solmali terrorists,etc etc) there's always the actions of the latter, the few bad apples that taint the rest of the religion of peace...

is us, according to:

Oh Brian, looks like somebody else agrees with you...

Yes, insurance coverage is expanded, but pretty soon you might have to wait until you're 90 years old before screening is recommended, if the current trend continues.

Actually, not:

I really like the last proposal: awesome $24000 in home upgrades for twelve grand?! (Maybe Richard can invent energy efficient cabinets and make a few buck off of it...)
Anyhow, it takes money to make money...

Are you serious?
Pelosi and most other sane, rational people are looking at that "facet" of the health care debate as a particle of the lunatic fringe nutcase groups that are out there. It's like saying you can't require American citizens to partake in medicare when they reach a certain age, it's going to happen and it has nothing to do with the constitution. It's a fraud and a hoax on America when Leiberman does a flip flop and prevents Americans who are 55 from buying into medicare when he previously supported the idea and it's the least he could have done since the jerks have eliminated a public option to appease the insurance carriers and their CEOs and the lobbyists who support them. What the heck was wrong with letting people who are in between the ages of 55 and 60 something who need health care insurance the most and who otherwise can't afford it buy into medicare to get it?
I really hope some of you out there end up in a similar situation and experience it first hand for yourselves. Don't turn to a tea bag enthusiast to help, most of 'em are already on medicare(and social security) so they could care less. Oh, they're too concerned about death panels unhooking grandma from a ventilator. I've got news for you, keeping grandma on a ventilator is going to bankrupt this country(and not health care reform or the deficit) and that's a fact and you morons don't get it. Neither you or Palin or the tea party nutcases understand that most grandmas don't want to exist hooked to a ventilator anyway but who asked them, anyway? Obviously not Palin, or the tea bag crowd or you...

Goes to the queen of the idiots: Sarah Palin!

She can add that one to her list of "accomplishments"...

Aren't commanders on the ground always right? Well, according to everything I've heard from McCain and Palin, they are.
So what's this, pregnancy in the military is punishable by court martial because of manpower needs?

That's got to be some kind of insane liberal plot. Where are the right to lifers(not to mention the church) when you need 'em the most?
Can you imagine the uproar if this policy originated from the commander-in-chief?

It looks like the Obama administration has drawn a line in the sand and the Iranians don't seem to get it.
On the positive side, another one of Iran's top nuclear scientists reportedly went missing the other day. Looks like the Bro's have been busy again. (The boys are back in town!)(Thump, thump! splat!). So the Iranians have been pushed back a bit behind that line, giving the world a wee bit more time...
