You feel as if it is your duty to look down on and judge others for not meeting your standards. You feel as if people must conform to your way of thinking or be deemed an obstacle or a nuisance.
Unlike you, I've lived a more humble existence.
1) I am the only one in my family to graduate high school or anything for that matter. That's among my father, mother, Grandmother, and four brothers.
2) I am currently taking care of my grandmother as a paid caretaker. I can now say that despite her income, my Grandmother felt it necessary to turn this into a means of employment for me.
3) Also I've held down three other jobs in my life as well. So misquoting me is a big mistake Joe.
4) I was .5 grade points from being the Salutatorian in the literature department at my high school.
So nothing really very impressive.
Again, I graduated from college at a time when BOth of my parents had terminal cancer, I had to hold down two part time jobs and serve in the National Guard to pay my way through, and somehow, I managed to hold it all together. Because I didn't have a choice. Failure was not an option.
You are the only person here that I know of who would use his own service to win a petty argument as you have. You are about as dishonorable as they come.
No, I point it out because a lot of you guys who would happily sign up for "pointless war of the week" don't appreciate what you are signing folks up for because it'll never happen to you.

You could have graduated cumma sum laude somewhere, but you'd still be wrong, I have proven you wrong, and when you are proven wrong you begin launching ad hominem. It's a fact of life you need to live with. You're wrong. I don't understand how someone as accomplished as you are is as gullible and malinformed as you are.
Guy, here's the thing. I used to be more right wing than you are and usually argued the point better than saying "You're wrong, you big meanyhead!", which is what most of your arguments consist of.
And then I learned the error of my ways. Real life broadsided me and I realized that if we don't look out for each other, we are on our own. It's a lesson I honestly hope you never have to learn.
What part of the 14th Amendment says you can lie about people keeping their insurance and their doctors? Gee, I must have missed the whole 'equal protection under the law' part.
Oh, my God, a politician didn't do what he said!!!!
That's like saying you went to a house of ill-repute and didn't feel loved.
Or that you went to a Denny's and the food wasn't any good!
Okay, my usual snark out of the way,
Obama shouldn't have said it that way.
Bush shouldn't have said "Mission Accomplished".
His Pappy shouldn't have said "Read my lips".
We all say things that we totally mean when we say them. And then we find out that all those other human beings we have to interact with as a civilized society are going to find ways to muck it up. Politicians are no different than the rest of us. We make promises we think we can keep and we can't.
I'm sure that Obama thought that when the Insurance Companies helped design the ACA to avoid getting a single payer system, that they would sincerely do everything they could to make it work.
Okay, I'm tired, I'm getting too philosophical and I'm done for the night.
It is going to cost lots of jobs--because employers will not be able to afford it, they will turn full time employees into part time or simply just lay them off.
