State Governments aren't the Feds. Most of what you have been sold, is just the usual lies, yet you continue to believe them. You will see. How's that Social Security lockbox working out for you?

This is just the beginning. You and your left wing buddies have no idea what you have unleashed on this country. It's not even worth debating it. We will just wait and the remind you we told you so.

http://politicker.com/2013/01/bloomberg-slaps-down-criticism-of-painkiller-restriction-plan/ Yesterday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and city officials unveiled a new initiative to limit supplies of prescription painkillers in the city’s emergency rooms as a way to combat what they described as a growing addiction problem in the region. Some critics, as documented by The New York Times, however, felt the move would unnecessarily hurt poor and uninsured patients who use emergency rooms as their primary care doctor. Needless to say, Mr. Bloomberg was not swayed by this line of argument. “The city hospitals we control, so … we’re going to do it and we’re urging all of the other hospitals to do it, voluntary guidelines. Somebody said, oh, somebody wrote, ‘Oh then maybe there won’t be enough painkillers for the poor who use the emergency rooms as their primary care doctor,’” the mayor said on his weekly radio show with John Gambling. “Number one, there’s no evidence of that. Number two, supposing it is really true, so you didn’t get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit. The other side of the coin is people are dying and there’s nothing perfect … There’s nothing that you can possibly do where somebody isn’t going to suffer, and it’s always the same group [claiming], ‘Everybody is heartless.’ Come on, this is a very big problem.” In the same interview, Mr. Bloomberg stressed the initiative’s simple rationale is to prevent extra pills from piling up in the cabinets of New Yorkers who no longer need them, where they can pose a health risk if they’re abused. “We talk about drugs, heroin and crack and marijuana, this is one of the big outbursts–and it’s a lot worse around the country than it is here. It’s kids and adults getting painkillers and using them for entertainment purposes, or whatever field of purposes, as opposed to what they are designed for,” he explained. “If you break a leg, you’re going to be in pain, nothing wrong with getting something that reduces the pain. But if you get 20 days worth of pills and you only need them three days, there’s 17 days sitting there. Invariably some of the kids are going to find them, or you’re going to take them and get you addicted.” Mr. Bloomberg also argued the number of pain pills currently being prescribed had even contributed to an uptick in violent crimes outside of pharmacies from robbers looking to steal the drugs. “You see there’s a lot more hold-ups of pharmacies, people getting held up as they walk out of pharmacies,” he explained. “What are they all about? They’re not trying to steal your shaving cream or toothpaste at the point of a gun. They want these drugs.”

I understand Edsel and Yugoslav drivers gave their cars very high ratings also. Seriously, did you expect them to say something different after they just plunked down all that money?

Why do you think Obama wants electricity prices to rise? Please don't just say "power" or "control", as that makes no sense. He has stated he wants to shut down coal plants and won't approve building more nuclear. What do you think is going to happen to electric prices as demand increases and supplies decrease?

90% of jumpers are open minded.... the other 10% are regular posters here. I think lefties like you constitute more than 10%.

Yeah, she should have just had sex with him. Then tried to talk him out of killing her. I've heard that works.

Yep, Obama has been responsible for more gun sales and NRA Memberships than LaPierre could have imagined in his wildest dreams.

QuoteWhat's interesting is it appears in this case there actually is more than one way to stop a bad man with a gun. In this case, it was a good teacher who wasn't a good man with a gun, but instead had a silver tongue. He talked the gunman down.[/reply He's lucky he wasn't shot and killed.

Sounds like government brainwashing to me.

Which really says a lot more about you than it does about Obama or the people who voted for him. Yes and I'm very proud of what it says about me. I wonder if people like you and her are as proud of what it says about them? Birds of a feather, I suspect.

Here's what you said: So please explain how raising taxes solved all these problems as you claimed.

Had she passed a psychological test to allow her to own that gun? Was that gun disassembled and locked away in a gun safe?

That's a very well thought out answer. I couldn't agree more. It also highlights a difference in ideologies. Some feel as if they can simply rely on the government to bail them out of every situation and therefore they go about thier lives with the "no big deal" attitude. Other are very tired of constantly being asked to support this philosophy and feel that "tough love" is the only way to change this. It really has gotten to the point where it's very ingrained into our culture. It comes out in many way whether it be going to jail, having multiple children one cannot afford, and even a psychotic/pathological disregard for human life as seen in the ongoing problem with gun violence and abortion.

Explain how raising taxes solved all those problems.

What spending, specifically has he cut other than counting what we will not be spending in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Serious question, what do you think fosters this type of thinking? It's doubtful this woman and the men were never taught that having sex will eventually result in a pregnancy. It's also doubtful they didn't have access to birth control. I'm also curious what the tipping point was that finally caused her financial collapse, assuming she was getting some type of public assistance. This woman appears to be the mythical "Welfare Queen".

How do you think someone ends up with 15 kids they can't pay for. What do you think goes on in someone like that's mind? Why do they think that's ok?

I prefer to refer to her as a stereo-typical Obama voter.

Currently they have all too easy access to the tools to do that. Let's make it just a bit more difficult than buying a 32 ounce soda. You haven't been to NYC lately have you?

Obama is doing fine on his own scaring people into buying guns. His "marketing plan" makes the NRA's pale in comparison.

Nothing more than Democrats creating Boogiemen hiding under the bed in an attempt to scare people and gain political power by "doing something".

You cannot overlook the fact that cars are safer than they were 50 years ago. Consumer awareness and a greater sense of unacceptability has also played a major role. It's not just a simple matter of more laws, it's more of a change of culture.

I don't think many disagree that we need to keep weapons out of the hands of loonies. The question is how to do that without trampling on their rights. Do we intervene when a person has a heated argument with their spouse and take their guns away for a period of time? If we did something like that, then what is the process the person has for getting their guns back?
