The MSM barely covered secession petitions when they burst upon the scene. Since then secession has completely dropped off the media radar screen. The topic has more or less disappeared on the Net as well. Sean Hannity revives the topic a bit in this audio: I especially like Seans reference to the elections in 2014. He went on to say: No matter what happens in 2014, long before the 2012 election I said that 2016 will be the most important election in the nations history. Thats why Im posting this thread in the Elections & Campaigns forum rather than in Law & Justice. In any event, the topic of secession was debated in this thread among others: My fear is that calling 2012 the most important election ever might have jaded American voters. After all how many elections can be called the most important election in the nations history before voters think of Chicken Little: Finally, Hussein & Company going all-out to abolish the 2nd Amendment adds to my belief that 2016 is the election that turns the country around or destroys it forever.
it may already be too late. when half of the voters are on the dole, it becomes very hard to reverse the trend towards socialism and destruction of the USA as a free republic.
great day when we lose rest of our freedoms and become a socialist state?????????? is that your hope for the USA? If so, please leave.
How does having health coverage (as an example) make a person LESS free? To look at it, you'd think it would make you MORE free. Please explain. And yes, it is my hope for the USA - and I ain't goin' anywhere.
You're one sick puppy that all of the tax monies funding that obama healthscare won't be able to cure you.
To Phoebe Bump: The people who are forced to fund socialized medicine are less free. The parasite class does not see getting something for nothing as a loss of freedom so long as someone else pays the bill.
Umm, because you are being forced to buy a product by a privately owned for profit company? If you are forced to do something against your will you are less free.
are you more free to have to pay for it for someone through your taxes because they refused to do it themselves? seems equally less free to me.
Except that Obamacare is not socialized medicine. It does not give out free health care. It does not institute government-run doctors and hospitals. It doesn't even institute government-run health insurance. What it does is make insurance more affordable. One of the big winners in Obamacare is the private, for-profit insurance industry which will be getting tens of millions of new paying customers.
Up to now, you have been forced to pay for medical care (usually the most expensive medical care, the ER) of people who choose not to have insurance. These people are called "free-riders" because they pay NOTHING in, and you foot the bill. That's the system you want to keep. Under Obamacare, those free riders will be pushed (not forced) to buy insurance. If they choose not to, then they pay the tax. Either way, 50 million Americans are finally going to be taking some personal responsibility for paying for their health care. BTW, this idea originated with the conservative Heritage Foundation. Republicans loved it right up until the day that President Obama embraced it, then it magically become socialism. Which is weird, because nothing could be further from socialism than telling people they AREN'T getting a free ride anymore.
The government isn't "giving" health care. It's forcing hugely profitable insurance companies to treat the American people with some decency.
I listen to Sean Hannity on the radio. (Sun Tzu can explain why). He stated over and over and over and over and over that 2012 was "the most important election in our lifetime" for all the various and sundry "America will be doomed if we lose" reasons. November 6th 2012 comes and goes....he loses....and then suddenly "miraculously" we are given ANOTHER 2-4 years "reprieve" and 2014 or 2016 is "the most important election in our lifetime".
LOL, you have bought into the lies. it will be cheaper to pay the fine than to buy insurance, when you pay the fine you will fall under the control of govt provided healthcare-----------which was the dem/lib/obama plan from the beginning. - - - Updated - - - LOL, you have bought into the lies. it will be cheaper to pay the fine than to buy insurance, when you pay the fine you will fall under the control of govt provided healthcare-----------which was the dem/lib/obama plan from the beginning. - - - Updated - - - said the sheep to the hungry wolf. you have bought into the lies.
they are all important, the most important ones have already passed. Its probably too late to prevent the US from becoming a copy of failed european socialism. you deserve what you vote for.
Your pessimism will also "miraculously" vanish....if the GOP wins the Senate in 2014 or if a Republican becomes President in 2016. "America is doomed if the GOP doesn't win" is just partisan b.s.......from the King of Partisan B.S. Sean Hannity,as well as others like him on the radio
thats not it at all, many republicans are no better than democrats, its liberalism that is the problem--in both parties. Fat boy Christie is a perfect example of a *******ed republican.
To Phoebe Bump: I think you know, but I’ll repeat it for you, and for those who are not sure. Members of the parasites class are defined as everyone who derives the majority of their income from tax dollars without being necessary to the operation of limited government. A parasite can be a billionaire or an unnecessary government employee of which there are millions, or a welfare recipient living on an entitlement program. AT LEAST four million more parasites will begin living on tax dollars when the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented.
2012 WAS the big one. The USA residents voted in communism and by definition "war". You will get what is coming. 2016 is a dream currently in the USA.
ragin, I'll save your post and a link to it. And if the GOP wins the Senate in 2014 or a Repub becomes President in 2016.....I'll be interested to see if you stick with your "BOTH parties are the problem".....or are celebrating with all the other Rightwingers. Deal? - - - Updated - - - Senior citizens, veterans, poor women, children.....the "scum" to the Right.
