It is far beyond a joke anymore. It is dangerously unhealthy to blame everything on others. It seems to be a weakness that idiots do not realize. They simply conform the latest lie, each as they come. Doublethink at it's best. They are tools of the establishment. Spoon fed conformists everyone. On occasion here we have witnessed what happens when there is a reversal in the latest line and a liberal conformist misses the fast turn. On the thread now called "Obama Do you agree we've had enough of him" Kenneth Phillipps , a well known tool of the democrat party was busy blustering over how wonderfully black and brilliant Reverend Wright was, but hadn't gotten the memo that Obama had thrown him under the bus. It was laughable and sad. Yet soon as he was proven Obama threw Wright under the bus, good ole Kenney didn't skip a beat in cutting down Wright as passing on the new think as if he never supported wright. There is no shame, no pride, there is just parroting the latest lines.

Here's another effect of ObamaCare. Plenty of Californians lost their health insurance plans because the state wanted to kick them into the general pool of "larger risk" patients. These Californians had cheaper plans that didn't cover as much as the plans mandated by ObamaCare, but they didn't need more comprehensive plans because for the most part they were healthy people. However, many of them just got cancellation notices from their health insurance providers, which stated that the cancelled plans didn't meet the ObamaCare requirements for coverage. So now they're forced into more comprehensive, more expensive plans that they didn't need because ObamaCare is founded on the concept that the healthy must pay for the sick. Said one Californian, who will see her health insurance premium go up from $98 to at least $238 a month: "It doesn't seem right to make the middle class pay so much more in order to give health insurance to everybody else," said Harris, who is three months pregnant. "This increase is simply not affordable." Of course, she probably thought someone richer than her and her family would get the bill. Here's the best part. Peter Lee, the executive director of the California exchange, Covered California, had this to say about those complaining about higher rates: "People could have kept their cheaper, bad coverage, and those people wouldn't have been part of the common risk pool," Lee said. "*We are better off all being in this together. We are transforming the individual market and making it better.*" Sound familiar? "We are a fucking society and we're all in this together."
