Freedom is very important to people living in the boondocks. Get government off their backs!

what freedom? what does that mean? Freedom from what? And how is that impacted from the ACA? The AHCA will have brutal consequences on rural working class...Unless you're talking freedom to die then I'm not sure what freedom is needed?

In America two most overrated terms that are used without thinking -

I have to have Freedom

My time is money

No, I agree with you. I was just poking fun at stupid people who complain about silly stuff like a lack of freedom.

No worries, sometimes the insanity on here gets too much for me to handle as well.

America was already great.

Its a shame but I thought Hillary shoulda went to the rust belt and lied like Trump. Those jobs arent coming back but most of those people refuse to hear the truth so just lie to them.
The only reason those jobs left in the first place is govt policy that favored free trade and CEOs that had zero integrity. Henry Ford willing paid his workers well and never outsourced to cheaper places. We shouldn't wall off the world but we could gain a lot of manufacturing jobs make with trade deals where everyone wins, not just China and Mexico. Many people don't have the IQ to get a college degree and are only capable of low skill jobs. Is it better to have 50k of them die of opioid abuse per year? Have 15k drug deal related homicides? Free trade isn't free when you look the at cost to society of 25% of prime age people not being able to find a job that pays a living wage.

That's why it should be called freedumb and not freedom. Because it means NOTHING when it comes to healthcare.

We told you that he wasn't for the working class. He's a ******. What did you expect?

Ann Coulter: Trump 'starting to look like every other Republican administration' | TheHill
Her name is not Anna, it is Ann, and she's anything but kooky. She's brilliant, a lawyer, author and syndicated columnist.

When on any program where she debates with a liberal, she always destroys them, because she knows her facts, and she knows them well.

First, full repeal Obamacare with a clean bill. Then work on a replacement if needed, or restore all the liberty back to the people, without government deciding for you and me.

so, no actual answer on this right? You'll just going on spewing your gibberish totally void of nuance and critical reasoning/logic?
