It's asinine stuff like the above that helped get Trump elected.

Conservatism is the new counter-culture.

I mostly agree. That's why I'm not one. Although I don't think they normally play into the conspiracy theories quite like the right-wing and their blogoshere does...but it's close.

That's completely moronic. WaPo gets linked here by liberals and conservatives alike. It's not hard to click on enough stories to hit the limit each month. I think it's only like 7 or 8 for WaPo. And I added the disclaimer because another poster, who was not a liberal, had a cow because he said I linked to a pay site.

But I do find it interesting that you seem to use the CJ phrase along with BH quite a lot. That could be taken as saying something about you AMIRITE?

I guess that explains why ONCE AGAIN you left the thread when the questions got too hot for you to answer.

There's still some pertinent questions you left unanswered from the other day my friend. But I'll cut you some slack as you're clearly busy running your business. What business was that again?

When things got too hot? You pretty much admitted that Obama care is killing you, but you still pimp it.

There's a reason Gruber was counting on people like you.

Wrong again and another piss-poor deflection from you.

I have said clearly for years now that the ACA has had little to no effect on me. My premiums have not changes much at all in years and my deductibles only have increased slightly over that time as well. I've also said many times that the ACA was not perfect and needed changes. I've also said that I prefer something like single payer or medicare for all. Or hell even some of the things Owl numbers always proposes.

What I did say was that insurance has never really been affordable for me and that held true long before the ACA. In addition, it holds true for pretty much everyone at or below middle class in America.

You ran away when I asked how much your monthly premiums were before and after the ACA. Without knowing these, the amount of your co-pay and deductible are meaningless alone as we have no way of knowing the total you are paying for health insurance. Of course this is all moot because you're still under the impression that your former provider magically paid all your doctor bills for roughly $15 a visit no matter the cost (not counting your deductible and monthly premiums).

Mr. "ACA was not perfect" prefers "single payer"

I'm just astounded by how much the Liberals hate that a New York Democrat won the White House.

I have little interest in the musings of a soft whore--which that man certainly is.

This is at its heart not a battle of ideologies but a battle between the common man and the self styled elites.

According to Michael Gerson, a former top aide to President George W. Bush as assistant to the president for policy and strategic planning.

Quote:The conservative mind, in some very visible cases, has become diseased.

So conservatism is bad... yep, that's what author writes in the FIRST line.

Quote:The movement has been seized by a kind of discrediting madness, in which conspiracy delusions figure prominently.

Holy mackeral... where are the conspiracy delusions? The frickin' progressives with the Russia issue... NOT the conservatives. Are there some conspiracy believers? Yep.. are they the primary parts of the conservatives? No.

Quote:Institutions and individuals that once served an important ideological role, providing a balance to media bias, are discrediting themselves in crucial ways.

So wait a min.. the Media has gone ALL in on "Trump is deranged, trump is bad, trump must be impeached"... So if someone on the conservative side _balances that_... if they're not as the author writes "balancing that".. what, conservatives are also believing he "trump bad, everyone else good" theory?

Quote:With the blessings of a president, they have abandoned the normal constraints of reason and compassion.

Say what???!!???

Quote:They have allowed political polarization to reach their hearts, and harden them. They have allowed polarization to dominate their minds, and empty them.

HOLY MACKERAL.. this guy says that the conservatives are polarizing? Where the hell has he been watching the previous administration??

I don't have to read the entire article, if this is this writer's opinion in the first paragraph... that is a load of bollocks from the start.

If you think conservatives haven't jumped the shark, just take a look at who is defending Infowars in that other thread.
