I think you're missing the point. You see, due to that Socialist entitlement program MEDICAID, nobody is denied health care. Don't confuse Teabaggers with facts. Much like Presidents of old they tend to think with their ample guts.

Nope. If it were, LABillzFan would be unpatriotic instead of just partisan.

Well, none that have come out of the closet yet at least.

I'm still trying to work out exactly where I defended this guy in any way. So, if we can agree that I agree that this guy is a bad pick, what's your point? Is this an impeachable offense? Should we bust out the torches and pitchforks and head for the White House?

Unless you're under 65 of course.

Most of the responses you got are from posters who think that Sean Hannity schitts chocolate bars and farts rainbows. If you do spend any time watching Fox News I'm sure you know what to expect from these types. You can't take personal attacks very personally here.

WWJD

A: LABillzFan would never start an unflattering thread about a Birther.

Nope, you've got me all wrong. Anyone who believe that 9-11 Truther crap is a fckuing retard IMHO. My point is that believing something like 9-11 Bush Conspiracy or that Obama was born in Kenya or that the Moon landings were faked or that the government planned the JFK assassination or (pick your favorite religious fairy tale) is all the same. It's irrational, illogical, emotional and usually shows a fundamental lack of critical thought in the face of overwhelming evidence. Humanity's capacity to believe is truly mind-boggling. People seem to live for this schitt. Clear enough? My problem with the man is his apparent lack of judgment and ability to think for himself. You seem to have an axe to grind because he is a Democrat and works for Obama, which is your right of course, but who's reasoning is more sound here? Way to go for the unbiased, reputable news site BTW! How many Fox News YouTube videos can you put on a single web page before it's considered gaudy?

Hey, at least we're better than the Lions! Oh, wait...schitt.

People will believe anything! I once knew a guy who believed that a cracker could be transformed into the literal body and blood of a guy who has been dead for nearly 2,000 years. Dude was nuts! He also thought that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that that the aforementioned dead guy once rose from the dead. What a crazy mf'er! Conspiracy theories and fairy tales are for bumpkins. Maybe Obama should find that guy and hire him!

Not as crazy as shooting up a Holocost Museum, but still pretty crazy.

You asshats should know better than to badmouth the great leader. You might as well start talking schitt about Jesus Christ himself. Frakkin heathens!

Cigarettes of course, what were you talking about? Now I rarely smoke anything that isn't green.

I quit smoking like 10 years ago, but thanks.

You're worth it.

But I do have to be a Bills fan for it to bother me personally. You don't see many Bills fans getting all bent out of shape because the Lions went winless last year.

Yes, a bit assumptive, but it doesn't make my assumption wrong. And it's not really mean-spirited as most people don't belong to a high tax bracket. I don't. It just never ceases to amaze me that people spend so much time worrying about policies that do not have a large impact on them personally. Don't you have enough to worry about? I understand what I believe to be right and that mostly involves taking care of my family and helping others, though I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination. If I understood what sells I'd be rich! Confucius may have been in over his head here - there is no soul, though I agree that the substance and character of a person is more important than what he or she possesses. Liberal... As a Liberal, I'm a lover, not a fighter unless I need to be. Always be quick to speak up when you made a mistake. That one really works for me. The inferior man is always worried about things like rich people getting taxed too much? I am not a unique snowflake? All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again? Well, no schitt.

You don't strike me as someone who is in a very high tax bracket. I could be wrong of course, I just figure that most corporate executives don't spend so much time bullschitting on message boards. So I wonder if you are bitching on principle or if you have a legitimate personal stake in the argument.

I just missed it dude, relax! Here's a good article talking about what you brought up (a.k.a. some of the research I failed to do). It doesn't bring up the Nitrous Oxide problem specifically, but I think it's fair to say that objectively that a pattern can be seen here. http://www.reason.com/blog/show/126276.html Myth one: Organic farming is good for the environment The study of Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for the UK, sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, should concern anyone who buys organic. It shows that milk and dairy production is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). A litre of organic milk requires 80 per cent more land than conventional milk to produce, has 20 per cent greater global warming potential, releases 60 per cent more nutrients to water sources, and contributes 70 per cent more to acid rain.... Myth two: Organic farming is more sustainable Organic potatoes use less energy in terms of fertiliser production, but need more fossil fuel for ploughing. A hectare of conventionally farmed land produces 2.5 times more potatoes than an organic one. Heated greenhouse tomatoes in Britain use up to 100 times more energy than those grown in fields in Africa. Organic yield is 75 per cent of conventional tomato crops but takes twice the energy – so the climate consequences of home-grown organic tomatoes exceed those of Kenyan imports... Myth four: Pesticide levels in conventional food are dangerous The proponents of organic food – particularly celebrities, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, who have jumped on the organic bandwagon – say there is a "cocktail effect" of pesticides. Some point to an "epidemic of cancer". In fact, there is no epidemic of cancer. When age-standardised, cancer rates are falling dramatically and have been doing so for 50 years... Myth five: Organic food is healthier To quote Hohenheim University: "No clear conclusions about the quality of organic food can be reached using the results of present literature and research results." What research there is does not support the claims made for organic food. Large studies in Holland, Denmark and Austria found the food-poisoning bacterium Campylobacter in 100 per cent of organic chicken flocks but only a third of conventional flocks; equal rates of contamination with Salmonella (despite many organic flocks being vaccinated against it); and 72 per cent of organic chickens infected with parasites... The Independent article concludes: In a serious age, we should talk about the future seriously and not use food scares and misinformation as a tactic to increase sales.

That would imply that I read your last post.

To me it's no different than herbal remedies or homeopathy. People are moving lots of product and making lots of money by misleading others with virtually no regulation by the FDA or any other organization. If prescription drugs approvals were handled with such a lack of scrutiny, we would have some serious issues.

Well, not to be a dick about it, but I actually have done the reading and have now more than said my piece. It would be nice to be able to believe what you guys are talking about. It would be nice if a return to the "old ways" was really better for everyone. The truth is that industrial farming does less to harm the environment and is a more efficient use of land and resources than small, so-called sustainable farming. There's nothing more I can say about it. Most people are going to believe what they want and it's no skin off my back. A funny thought just occurred to me. We are literally talking about 'sacred cows' here.

You guys have a lot of good intentions that are really misplaced. Instead of clinging to your strongly-held beliefs, maybe you should do some reading. Sorry if that comes off in an arrogant way - it's not meant to. Incidentally, the humane treatment of animals argument is a good one. Industrial farms would do well to improve their treatment of livestock. The 'organic foods are better for me and my environment' argument simply does not hold up under any amount of real scrutiny.
