Where would you rather see your tax dollar spent

My friend, I thought you had long ago gotten past the "I heard somewhere" research methods. Don't you realize that one of the core methods the Right Wing has used since Reagan's time is the constant repetition of lies in order to get the gullible to begin to believe them. That's Palin's MO to a tee - "death panels", "pull the plug on grandma", and that's Fox' main "journalistic standard" - "deep seated hatred of White People"? "Tiller the Baby Killer?"

So - I want documented FACTS this time: How do you possibly justify the slanderous statement that "Obama is working hard to get rid of" individualism???? That is the most nonsensical thing I think I've ever heard you say. How is fighting FOR human rights working to get rid of individualism"? How is trying to keep people alive even though they're poor working to get rid of individualism? How is fighting against the corporate takeover of the American election process - which deprives YOU of the right to have your vote heard - working to get rid of individualism? You are smarter than most of the Right Wingers around here and you know that the President is not a socialist, not a communist, not planning a secret New World Order, not trying to impose Sharia Law on the United States and so forth.

FACTS this time. Not talking points. FACTS.

And finally, your "opt out" suggestion is probably as close to outright fascism as I've ever heard you come. Let's take that one a step further. Let's say a group of people decide that they don't think that black people deserve to get heart transplants. Should they be allowed to "opt out" of their health insurance premium?

Do you REALLY want someone else to get to decide what YOUR health insurance covers and doesn't cover? You pay your premiums and you get the coverage that the policy provides. You have no right to tell the insurance company what coverage they should or should not provide to anyone but you.

I'm disappointed in you.

An argument that a law says one thing but somehow someone might find a way around it someday so therefore the law says the exact opposite of what it says is nonsensical, in my humble opinion.

And since the Fourteenth Amendment is probably the single most progressive clause in the entire Constitution ("equal protection of the laws" is kind of a dictionary definition of progressivism) I fail to see where there is any distortion.

Once again I want you to provide PROOF. Show me ONE instance, just ONE, of the President showing favoritism to ANY one religious denomination over another. That means SPECIFIC EXAMPLES and VERIFIABLE SOURCES.

You made the false accusation that "the only sect Obama has actually defended and stood up for is Islam". You made the false statement that he embraces Sharia Law. You made the false accusation that not only is the President not defending our borders (which is a LIE) but that he is DELIBERATELY not defending our borders in order to encourage Muslim extremists to enter and destroy the country. And you made the completely false statement that the President is "giving middle easterners in war torn areas carte blance to come here without background checks."

So if I can count that's at least FIVE deliberate, malicious, slanderous, racist attacks on the President of the United States without even the slightest attempt to provide even shaky evidence to support any one of them.

As for the reason you wrote this blog, it was to assert the absurd, cruel and totally false contention that war and abortion are equivalent. What you wound up asking was whether people would rather fund mass killing or human rights.

Finally, I invite you to read back up through this thread. Which of us first mentioned Islam? Which of us first mentioned Sharia Law? Which of us first mentioned "middle easterners in war torn areas" (aka Palestinian Muslims)?

So WHO IS HIJACKING THIS THREAD?
