Where are the flag waving America lovers in regard to LOVING THE FACT THAT WE ARE FINALLY TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO TAKE CARE OF THE (SWIFTLY GROWING) HEALTH CARE CRISIS?

    And what is it that we exactly plan to do? I would really like to know. The Messiah doesen't even know. It looks like hope is starting to turn to disdain.

    Patriotism is really about money these days.

    :roll: Only on AMT
    i dunno, i kind of do think that it is about money. i would have liked to own an american flag and/or a red white and blue ribbon making company at the time of the beginning of the war. or how about the person that invented those stupid ribbon magnets for your car that everyone and their mom bought? i guarantee those people are alot more patriotic now that they are millionaires off of suffering of their fellow citizens.

    remember "the patriot pack" they sold on infomercials on tv in like 2003? you could order like 12 or 14 american flags of different sizes to show everyone else you are a bigger patriot than they are, as if it was a manhood measuring contest, but back then it was..... and a ton of people bought them.

    that said, would the patriotic thing to do here be to stop funding wars in the middle east, instead making sure everyone has health insurance, public option included, or leave things as they are with 47 million uninsured and millions more underinsured and trillions going down the toilet in iraq and afghanistan? i choose the former.

    oh and by the way, i really wish people would stop calling obama "the messiah". lardass rush beat all of you to that a year ago. besides, a huge number of us that voted for him are not religious and do not consider ANYONE a messiah. let alone a two-bit politician. i think if we were we would have voted another way. so come up with another title for him please....

    I would pay extra tax dollars for a few years if they spent the $$ on making the govt administer its programs more efficiently. Hopefully the $$ they'd spend would improve the efficiency for years to come.

    A fella can dream!
