"Everywhere I go, all I see is our younger generation walking around looking like cell-phone zombies. Is it just me or are others of you out there as concerned as I am?"
"Before Mike McClellan and his military bashing liberal buddies offer their ill-informed opinions regarding combat troops, it might be more credible if they had actually ever worn the uniform. And maybe even have some combat experience. McClellan pontificates on ‘deplorable behavior' and ‘punishment' as if war were some kind of academic exercise. Such a foolish blowhard should scare every Dobson High School parent as to what idiocy he fostered in his classroom. Leave the warfighting to professionals and go back to splitting your infinitives."
"Michael Reagan's column ‘Emperor Obama seeing a little rain fall' (Jan. 20) spells out President Barack Hussein Obama's nearly-limitless power. It clearly shows that Obama's re-election is doomed if ObamaCare gets ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court."

"When gasoline hits $4.25 a gallon this summer, Obama's goose is cooked. No amount of Democrat-spin will extricate him. This Keystone pipeline decision is a gift to the Republicans."
"Anyone spouting about 10,000 lost jobs because Obama nixed the Keystone pipeline is lying. The real number is less than 5,000 jobs to build the pipeline and only 50 or so would be permanent jobs. Also, that pipeline has zero to do with current gas prices."
"Just another friendly note to hiring managers and human resources personnel: People with academic degrees have proven that they're trainable and therefore are qualified (not overqualified) for a wide range of jobs. (Some of us are still trying to keep our houses. Yes, really). Are you worried that we'll leave if offered a better opportunity? Well, here are three answers: Nobody knows what the future holds, that could take years, and wouldn't someone with a GED do the same?"

So, you think it's OK to force someone to "buy" something they don't want?

Willie,
Yet another issue upon which you and I agree! Had we passed a public option, there really would have been competition to provide services. But perhaps all of the potentially uninsurables would have had to go to the public option.
Should the Affordible Healthcare Act fail to pass muster under the Commerce Clause [and I'd say there is a strong chance that it won't] then the only way to encourage affordible healthcare insurance would be to require each state do the inforcing. The Commerce Clause does not impact states. And where Federal Dollars do impact states, cutting states off who do not afford competitive healthcare insurance to their citizens might do the trick. Ending Medicare in those states should do the trick and help balance the budget!

Yes, but because of Bohnercare, that policy you are required to purchase is with a PRIVATE FOR PROFIT INSURANCE COMPANY === NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
Instead of being able to purchase a policy from Medicare which pays out 92% of premiums in benefits, you get the privilege of buying the policy from a company that pays out only 70% of the premiums in benefits.
THAT'S A WHOLE LOT BETTER FOR YOU ISN'T IT?
No bloated government policy -- just a bloated insurance company policy. You get to contribute to some executives multi-million dollar bonuses. And watch them deny your claims.

Third Ventor: ....."Obama's re-election is doomed if ObamaCare gets ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court."
--------------------------------------
While our nation is at a constitutional crossroads, it is more likely Obama’s re-election will be doomed when all voters know that Big Government “ObamaCare” restricts our liberty by forcing all Americans to purchase a particular service – health insurance.
