    Where is it written to constantly tinker,adjust and look for convenient
    ways to make things better.That does not apply to many things like
    Great Red Wine,or Cognac,or even bread.
    For that matter ... Great writing.Even of the more political persuation
    like Voltaire.Or begrudgingly side as Oscar Wilde,sometimes perfumed.

    " Without philosophy we should be little above animals.
    Can there exist a people free from all superstitious prejudices ?
    That is to ask: can there exist a nation of philosophers. "
    -- Voltaire { 1694-1778 }

    " The public is wonderfully tolerant.They forgive everything
    but genius."
    " Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. "
    -- Oscar Wilde { 1854-1900 }

    Is that a double entendre?

    We have in this country what is known as Medicaid.
    Which is Free Healthcare for those of qualifying poor means.
    That is basically what many states used as ObamaCare.
    Because many poor people either did not know about the
    availability of Medicaid or how to apply.
    Plus with open borders and Sanctuary cities health issues
    and service is reaching an epidemic.As in L.A. and a huge
    Homeless squatting problem.An Outbreak of the Plague is all
    but imminent.That is entirely on the Democrats in California proper.
    Nothing like that when Republicans/ Conservatives ran California.

    If you are just going to post nonsense there is no sense trying to explain the truth to you. And deflecting trump's obvious mental problems to Hillary is laughable and a very sad comment on your lack of any powers of perceptions.

    I've never raped or disrespected any woman. Why would I admire a puke like trump?

    Also, though I have dated a lot of women. I am fundamentally monogamous. And I sure of hell wouldn't be having unsafe sex with hookers with a new pregnant bride at home. That is some seriously sick sht

    It is a crackpot conspiracy theory in the extreme. They existed but haven't been significant since the 1700s.

    i don't get how a 'hooker' is different than a 'sugar baby', they both provide a means to an end

    hookers can practise safe sex, provide companionship, and be just as classy. Julia Roberts demonstrating in - Pretty Woman - {1990}

    LOL! I just Googled "new zion" in response to your post. The cite seemed reveal what Christian Zionists are all about. I searched it for "zion", and there it was - did not read further.

    Just searched for "cabal" - no hits. That may suggest that Oscar Wilde was right. ;-)

    Because it eviscerates the term of any meaning. Acceptance of "gay marriage" is now the status quo, but no conservative worthy of the name wants to conserve "gay marriage".

    I get it.Unlike the extreme mental acuity of someone like
    a Joe Biden.Who pledged to make sure Females in this land
    { 720 Million } are put into the workforce.
    Or Hillary Dillary Docks great memory.I wouldn't even know where
    to start with that.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are plenty of gay conservatives and some of them are married to each other.

    Start naming them.The Gay Community was used to help elect Obama
    in 2012.It has always been a very strong backer of the Democrat Party.
    Obama had to face that reality because he went on record Opposing
    Same Sex Marriage Before he decided he was For Same Sex Marriage.
    It's what's known as Political Expediency.Perfected of course by the
    Party of Slavery,Jim Crow,Bull Conner and Segregationist like Bill
    Clinton's mentor { J.William Fulbright } who also signed the Southern
    Manifesto.

    I hate the smell of vapor because it has a very sleazy character with a hint of poisonous sweetness. I am not a smoker either and the only time I would stand next to a smoker is if I am having one myself, but cigarettes are great for conversation and they also help you cool down and think. Vape cannot provide any intellectual insights whereas many of the greatest thinkers have reached their world-changing conclusions thanks to a cigarette. ;)

    Put in the words of Ayn Rand; "I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind--and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.”

    O bs too. NOBODY talks that way and it's insulting as **** to go on like everyone who doesn't live in a multistory apartment building has a monster truck, collects guns and is on their fourth wife. There is no such THING as the "country" you *******s all sing about.

    Old Ayn, I bet she was a WILD **** when she was a 20's flapper.

    I gave up smoking years ago and the only thing I still miss is seeing smoke come out my mouth. I was going to take up vaping with a non-nicotiine base but will never do it now because I have lung problems. I wonder why it cant' be used as an medicine delivery system.

    Medicaid doesn't even address the main problem which is that the average person will be permanently bankrupted by even a minor illness if it catches him between jobs, which is where a lot of us spend a lot of time in this New Economy. Obamacare did exactly that
