“If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that’s in people’s pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the War Between The States — the Great War of Yankee Aggression.”

By now, most Americans know the dirty details of Obamacare. It raises taxes. It will force Americans to pay for other people's abortions. It will put the government in charge of more than 18 percent of our private sector economy. It may provide benefits to up to 6.1 million illegal immigrants. It diminishes liberty and gives government more power.

hits that beautiful psycho trifecta of 1) referencing the civil war 2) literally making something up whole sale 3) not really making sense on any level at all

4) calling the Civil War the War Between the States.

i love how the dipshit has to give the Civil War two different names.

Traitorous rebels.

So if illegal immigrants don't buy private insurance they have to pay the fine as well, right?

There's a news segment in the Onion movie where Georgia adds a Swastika and a middle finger to the state flag.

I think the procedure is to hold them upside down and shake before catapulting them them over the border fence.

xp

Meanwhile Peggy Noonan gets her ass slapped around

Would you stop, one-year tangent? Health care's 20% of our economy and it's a tangent? This is the problem -- we've got to solve the problem but let's do it some other time. For eight years in this country this problem was festering. Incomes were flat. Why? Cause every single spare dollar an employer had had to go into health care, not into wages. Our wages are down, our economy's at a standstill because of health care. And we're fixing that problem because your team didn't do it.

lol well done dude

One measure of its success: a stammering Scarborough, and the hemorrhoid that formed on Noonan's face.

that georgia rep reminds me.. maryland is trying to secede from the south. of course, we are not the south anyway. though i do recall reading the occasional reference to the 'war of northern aggression' in the decades-long letters-to-the-editor debates over local history in my hometown paper..

man, why is scarborough complaning that there's no public option? since when did he care?

If dudes like that are allowed to call it the 'War Of Yankee Aggression' then why can't we call it the 'War Of Southern Slave-Owning'?

tbh that's what I call it

Maryland was a slave State that remained in the Union, right?

The southern pride thing is complete and totally BS anyways, because before the civil war the wealth distribution in the south (amongst whites) was highly concentrated among the upper class and everyone else was in abject poverty. People think the rebels fought a war to preserve this great "uncomplicated" way of living when all they were really fighting for was for the top 1% to maintain their status quo of total economic domination.

had to fix my fixing

The War to Redistribute the Top 1%'s Wealth

IMO there are tons of things to love and be proud of about the South but not that particular thing.

xpost the deconstructionist line is that that was the North's motivation too, right?

mmm cornbread

I think we even did a list thread on that! I remember Dan fighting with everyone else about okra c/d.

(things to love about the south that is)

Okra is only C if it's fried.

i literally would be cool with all these things

*checks pocket for free insurance card*

you would be cool w/ diminished liberty?

trading freedom for fillings

ok maybe the liberty part wouldnt be so great

It will put the government in charge of more than 18 percent of our private sector economy

Wrong

I like how the main argument against this health care bill is that it will destroy competition because any given government-run plan will clearly be superior to the private plans we already have.

I am still getting over the statistic that health care is 18% of the economy?

Making that argument only illustrates how bad the problem has become

But it doesn't make sense. If financial services was 33% of the economy as of Sept 2008, then... well... what is the rest of the US economy even doing right now

Don't ask

At least 20% is Wal-Mart

So premiums are going to be capped in the public exchanges that are created, but there's nothing in this bill that caps premiums in the private market. Sounds like a good way to indirectly control prices, if the exchanges are strong enough. Hopefully the gov't-run health fearmongering we've been seeing won't enter the permanent market with an unending deluge of anti-exchange ads.

there isn't any government run plan in this bill so WTF are they talking about

I assume they're talking about regulations. which, you know, have completely destroyed America's agriculture, finance, energy, insurance, and construction industries, among others

like did you know the FCC controls the entertainment industry? it's true!

someone's got to--those homosexuals in Hollywood are out of control

Oh shit -- The Corner's page ain't loading. Is this a consequence of government-run health care?
