Exactly what do you think you understand? Let it all out, stop holding back. Let's go...give your solutions, solve all the problems in the world..apparently you think you can...so let's have it...ready, set, GO! Get some good conversation going on - stop peeing in a sandbox with the rest of the 3 year olds. Man-up and get some facts going.

Umm no.

provincial - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

"3 a : a person of local or restricted interests or outlook b : a person lacking urban polish or refinement"

Come on you are suppose to be enlightening me. So far this has been a one way street.

Again, you must be bored in that good ol' blue state of yours. No wonder you're so angry...your millions of posts are evidence enough of that!!!

I'm an American. I also have many conservative friends (although the smart rational kind, yes there are many). But yes, being a "liberal" leaner (although by no means a liberal), I just do not see why anyone would be agaisnt single-payer government-run health insurance. The pros greatly outweigh the cons ... by far. I hate that we dismiss this idea as a country.

Shorebaby...thinking the OP is a huge waste of time. If there ever was a definition of "troll"...

Well, lets recap the past 3 years:

1) Democrats - the liberals in this country - retained a supermajority in Congress and gained another seat in the White House

2) Free healthcare isn't free - someone has to pay for it - and the liberals in this nation are insisting that "I" pay for "your" healthcare.

3) Democrats drafted the healthcare legislation that is a virtual candy store for healthcare providers (ie. corporations), giving them more power than they've ever had over the American healthcare system

So, who exactly is the dumbass here? I'd reconcile that it is you who needs a refresher course on who's doing the dictating.

Get a clue.
You are another prime example of the kind of person I was specifically making reference to

Keep up the good work, because you save me the trouble of having to prove how much of a backward-thinking prat you (and others like you) are.

I think we've identified the forum's latest lightweight.

Nothing of subtance has come from any of his posts.

I stand ready to debate you when you get your thumb out of your mouth.

Angry? Moi? No no no. A little bored so I engage the likes of you. Millions of post? Is reading comprehension another of your strengths? SO sad. You might as well quit while you are behind.

p.s. Shorebaby, Jerseywhatever and that "driver" chick, explain the difference to me between:

Communism
Liberalism
Socialism

...or are they all the same to you?

After that, consider it "class dismissed".
