So if your position is that the gov't should be in charge of overseeing every pregnancy through to a full term, does that make pro-life nutjobs communists?

No, because they're not demanding that anyone else but the parties involved pay for it...

So most westernized nations except the USA are communist? Well, until last year when we became communist too...

Holy shit the Marxists won, because when I find out I have multiple sclerosis, I can actually buy insurance out of my own fucking pocket under HCR.

:rolleyes:

I pretty strongly suspect that conservatives who throw the word "Communist" around rarely know what that word means.

You may want to look at where you claimed there was a 5 to 1 or 10 to 1 spending spree in favor of Republicans. You have no proof of that, oh and nice cherry picking from what I posted, completely ignoring the overall big picture. I like how you picked Meg Whitman as a way to prove your point while completely ignoring nearly 200 million in union money going only to Democrats. Nice.

I think anyone who wants gov't controlled Armed Forces, for defense is also a COMMIE. They just don't know it. What we need are civilian militias, with the guns that civilians are allowed to own, and let them take a knife to a gunfight. A semi auto hunting rifle up against rockets, morters, and fully auto machine guns.

Let's do the right thing and stop taking my tax money and funding a gov't controll military. Let's get rid of the defense budget. This just stinks too much of Communism and Socialism.

Wait a minute! Could it be WE just want to fund programs that kill others, yet don't want to fund programs that SAVE Americans lives? Or is it that we just pick and choose which programs appear Communistic?

The problem there is that the Constitution provides for national defense, but not health care. FAIL

He's done that quite well all on his own.

Communist?

Shit, the conservatives around here struggle with the meaning of the word "a." Baby steps.

Well there is that little bit that the congress's role is to provide for the general welfare. Was the Interstate Highway system that Ike got a commie plot? I think Ike would disagree with that, and he fought alongside the commies.

I'd say the health of the citizenry, specifically the ability of people who are sick through no fault of their own to be able to get health insurance, would fall under the general welfare. For god's sake its not like the government is paying for everyone's healthcare. You still have to pay for it yourself. A commie system would mean that, 1) there is no government at all, 2) hospitals and doctors would charge nothing 3) the people seeking medical treatment would pay nothing.

You do know "provide", and "compel" are two different words with two different meanings, right?
