Dakryn's Batshit Theory of the Week

Yesterday according to Al Jazeera:

Yesterday according to CNN:

 

[Matt]

CNN, fantastic as usual

 

[Pessimism]

Yes, we all know that is how the news works in America.

 

[Badbird]

That was...sad

 

[Dak]

Hey, at least it isn't Michael Jackson headlines anymore.

 

[unknown]

...so how bout that health care!

 

[Dak]

Another nail in the national coffin.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

It's for the children..

The most important items on the bill don't take effect until 2014. Not sure if that was more to leave time to raise funds or just to give people an excuse to vote Democrat in 2012.

At any rate, one of the immediate-effect provisions is that children can stay on their parents' insurance policies until age 26, which could help me out a lot - assuming that isn't just an excuse for Anthem to downgrade my parents' coverage or some shit.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

which could help me out a lot - assuming that isn't just an excuse for Anthem to downgrade my parents' coverage or some shit.

Pretty sure that isn't possible so I wouldn't worry about it.

Public option. Maybe they could ram this through as well.

 

[Dak]

If the whole thing doesn't get repealed by the time my wife is out of the Marines I am pretty sure we will move out of the US.

So, we all know the Republican Party is a joke, but... their website right now takes the joke to a whole new level.

Wow..just incredible

it reminds me of www.godhatessweden.com

EDIT: Before their new fresh remodel of the website fucking Westboro Baptist Church

 

[Pessimism]

Just wow.

Also, I love how even on their own website they can't even get the facts right

..government-run health care experiment and its funding for abortion.

It doesn't, that was one of the concessions the Dems did in the beginning in order to try to move that clusterfuck of twats into bipartisanship. Needless to say it didn't work.


And seriously, it's not the final nail in the coffin. The final nail hit in the 50's when god fearing idiots rose a shitstorm and started blacklisting everyone. That fear that gripped the parties then exists today in the most extreme cases of paranoia. A socialist health care system will not spell the end of America. The ONE thing to worry about is bad implementation, and the only people that spouted that argument were a very small number of Dems and Republicans - the rest focused on OH NO SOCIALISM = NAZI COMMUNISM AND THAT NOT WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS BLAH BLAH BLAH HOT AIR UP MY ASS.

The other problem is that we live in a republic that is dominated by two parties; the specific example being the republicans correlating their idiocy into mass movements to discredit the rest of the administration while fillibustering every fucking piece of legislation they could because they're wankers. The Democrats for being prickless fucks.

America needs to get down-sized, or just deport all the rednecks

 

[damnromulans]

I think Daleks said it better

 

[Pessimism]

The world needs to eliminate most of its population and Pessimism needs to help by creating elaborate creatures that kill indiscriminately

FYP

 

[Cythraul]

The Democrats for being prickless fucks.

And for knowing fuck all about economics. But that's ok, because they have "good intentions."

 

[Dak]

The elected officials don't need to understand foreign policy, economics, or the Constitution. They merely need to do what their handlers tell them to do.

Whether we keep limping along into 2nd class status, or the nation fragments state by state, the US will shortly be replaced as the world superpower by whoever can fill the vacuum.
