Lying sack of garbage...lies about illegals getting free medical care and lies about individual mandate...and the kool aide drinkers keep singing this POS's praises. STUPID!

Just like many other issues Obama flip flops on the isues & he says the republican(s) namely Mitt Romney has amnesia. Does this guy ever listen to himself talk ?

Our Federal government has no constitutional authority to force people to buy health insurance. In addition, it has no constitutional authority to force people to violate their conscience by paying an insurance premium with an insurance company that is forced by the federal government to provide baby killing drugs. There is no "opt out"-either through your company's plan or government run health care, your premium goes toward a plan that covers baby killing drugs under the guise of "health".

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. One lie after another, that's all he does. I once respected him as the person who held the office of the presidency. But, with his constant lying, I no longer listen to anything he has to say anymore, becuase I know it's just more of the same.

i pay cash when i go to the doctor, how can that hurt someone else? my brother went to the emergency room for a broken arm and my dad paid monthly payments. i don't get how paying payments rise the premium for the " rest of us"?

@abntemplar82 and I understand that harsh aspect when it comes to survival. It just depends on the mentality of the neighborhood one is in. I'd rather use my skills though in assisting somoen vs. taking someone's life. Breaking and entering and all and attempted roberies are a completely different story. In the interim I'll just start stocking up on staples but I do think this economy is diverse and hopefully organized in some aspect to operate in absence of an irrelvant Federal govt.

@shaithis80 the history of natural disasters as well as man made disasters (war etc) has proven that those who dont have food water and the basics will take what they can from whomever they can. believe me i dont want to fire on another person in my life again but if i have to.. it is not in the remote locations you need to worry, it is the burbs and the cities. just look to katrina and new orleans for proof. and now that the citezens are still unarmed the crime rate is skyrocketing.

@abntemplar82 either towns willl be resourceful and people work together or you'll have fighting. I'm not about to use a weapon as I have no defined targets. There are plenty of ways to be helpful however I'm just not paranoid. I agree with having an ample supply of food and water on hand in the event public services are ever disrupted. Just have to know your neighbors and organize accordingly if and when the time comes. If I was living in more remote locations, I'd consider carrying.

@shaithis80 you pretty much hit the nail on the head there. look for groups in your area, state wide, and get involved with them. learn and watch, things are going to get real ugly real soon...the states will survive but in what condition? that is the question, as well as who will be incharge of them. we are coming to a point in our history that is ugly in the extreme...be prepared food, water, ammo....good luck and god bless!

@abntemplar82 I like to think some towns are better situated than others but whatever happens will happen. I'm relocating to where I can ink out a living and staying out of the bigger markets altogether. Just have to know the people that are around you and offer whatever skills you have and contribute if it really gets that bad. I think our system is unique because each state is organized with their own executive branch in the event the Feds drop the ball big time.I think states will survive.

@shaithis80 yea tell me about it, now with this new ndaa crap, if you have more than two weeks food stored you can be considered a low level terrorist. hell i got 8 people living here, i buy the food a month at a time.its just easier that way.do what you can to prep for emergency, and off the grid living as best you can without breaking the bank, hit me up personally and i can help direct you. first look for a morman (lds) food pantry, they got great bulk deals and its cheap as hell.

@shaithis80 the reason for the states rights is many. first and formost, each state is a sovern nation in and of itself. if you ever study business for example, if you ship products out of your state to another it is considered internatinal sales. second and most importantly, the founders knew a strong central goverenment was a threat to the liberties of the people. the many post 911 acts etc and now NDAA monster are all the proof anyone should need of this.
