What is a Patriot?

What a childish and ignorant statement to make.
Thank you for revealing your true blind idiotic self to the board.

You've got it all wrong, RKM. Love of country can mean in this case, standing up to the tyranny that is the president. I'm not suggesting you support him blindly or at all.

I doubt there's a single democrat that would call a single republican a Patriot off the field of battle. Democrats are the enemy plain and simple.

Anyone who agrees with the taking of labor against one's will is my enemy, plain and simple. I don't care how you justify the redistribution of income and assets, I don't approve of it. It's just that simple.

At any rate , fedgov will continue to demand crazy concessions from the insurance companies until they will either go bankrupt like the federal government or demand or demand immunity . Or they will be abolished and the federal government will be the only provider.

Either way we will be fucked.

.

I would not be so sure about that.
With the number of Bankers and Corporate CEO's rotating between DC and their respective industry, not to mention the lobbyists, they know exactly what they are doing and it will be the 99.5% of the rest of the country paying for it.


Health Insurance and Big Pharma are at the top of the list when it comes to Government Bribes.

Do you have a SCOTUS decision to back up your clap trap, or are you just making up illogical rhetoric on the fly?

How strange coming from someone like yourself that cannot put a descent thought on the board.
You live in the same guiltless denial filled world.
Your thoughts are very useless on the board.

What a childish and ignorant statement to make.
