Feelings aren’t more important than facts .
No he just twists facts and speaks fast. He knows little about health insurance, and less about net neutrality. He should stick to SJW facts.

As for emotions, I personally get angry at BS for making fun of the war that 100s of thousands of my people died and claiming he wished it have gone worse for us. The man is a pathetic POS.

Did she really? Sounds like Hugo Chavez getting rid of all the oil executives and now they can’t make enough money from their oil industry even with the largest reserves in the world, and the eighth largest reserves of natural gas. Now people are starving. Frickin idiots.

What does that have to do with Socialism, an over reliance on oil with no plan for a drop in prices is more a problem with a command economy, not socialism.

But of course you have no idea what the difference is.

She’s comparing Shapiro’s offer to ... cat calling .. this young lady is nuts!

“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.

And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Well, if taxes are raised, I guess these "free" programs aren't free at all.
This broad makes dumber and dumber look like college professors.

Pknop, are you legitimately having difficulty understanding the point calguy is making multiple times quoting the word "free"?
You can't seriously be that dense.

You support Ben Shapiro, a man who laughs at the million+ deaths his favorite president caused in my country. The man is a POS and you should feel embarrassed for supporting a man like him.
Can you provide some evidence to support this claim?

What if I decide I need more?

What if I decide I want more?

I hadn't until I watched the video earlier and I commented on why I dismiss him. You or no one else commented on my comment.

He said that if someone needed an x-ray or a recliner they would purchase the recliner. That is weak and based upon stupid stereotypes. I didn't bother looking up more recent numbers as this will work. In 2012 the average American spent $9596 on health care. That is a lot of recliners.

As I admit to, that was the only thing I've heard him say but based upon that and what others are saying he is one of those people who get off on demonizing people he sees as less than himself.

He would not be tough to outdo in a debate.

It would be easy, as I just showed.
