How conservatives see Obama:
"Ba-wah-ha-ha, on your knees you pitiful mortals and bow before me. It is I, the Muslim-atheist-fascist-communist-Kenyan-Indonesian-usurper come to destroy your way of life and take away your freedom fries."
How liberals see Obama:
"Oh, please don't say mean things about me, Mr. Republican. I'll do whatever you want. Here, here's some political giveaways. I'll offer you all kinds of concessions. Just be cool to me, OK? Aw c'mon guys, here's some more stuff. Can't we all just have a group hug? Aw c'mon guys..."
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

I thought you'd already answered that question a few posts back, the american taxpayer, the same people who pay for any other tax here in the U.S. How federal rationing or control of soda ties into healthcare is, to me, far more interesting than anything you've offered thusfar with regards to "Obamacare".

I wasn't tying it to Obamacare. I was being sarcastic with regard to government imposing its will over us from something as huge as forcing us into Obamacare to NYC Mayor Bloomberg regulating how many ounces of sugary drinks people are allowed to buy.....

"A theist" lolololol what a totally witty name pardon me while I go go laugh in total stony silence.
I already posted information as to who will be taxed. Here's a hint: Of that 1.75 trillion or so, almost all of it will come from private health insurance companies and from high-end premium health insurance plan "sales" taxes. Hardly any of it will come from average Joe Citizen.

............I would happily participate in that thread but I'm more intrested in why people like the OP, who probably benefits from "obamacare", for some reason is actually opposed to it.

Did you see our olympic opening ceremony, 15 minutes devoted to celebrating the NHS.
Would the usa be so proud of its useless healthcare system that they seem to want to stay broken.
Obamacare isnt half way to creating a decent system but it was the nearset he was able to claw from the american idiots who vote against their interests.

Exactly. I'm sure he has a better understanding of how far short it falls of adequate. But I'm also sure he has a far better understanding of what is politically possible in our strange country.
