The Obama Presidency

Scalia is telling you where he wants you and where you need to be.

I just got a boner from Sandra Day O'Connor's exposed ankle.

That is Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Check out those lace gloves.

Clarance Thomas is just stone cold chillin' in that chair.

You want to do something important for politics, take away the power for smaller states to have as much influence as states where one city has more people in it than the entire state. Billy McStrawChew and his five sisters/wives shouldn't tell 8.5 million people how the government should run.

What the fuck are you even talking about? You're talking about half of one third of the federal government, assuming you know at all.

I dont need to read this thread to know that a system that does not help people who need help(not because of any fault of their own) are denied the care that they need.
Again it is a basic human right and one we need to provide not just where we live but preferably all over the world.

Better and stronger people then me are working their asses of in the ghettos in the US to provide care for the underprivileged not for material gain but for the knowledge that they do make a difference. Better and stronger people then me are doing the same as Doctors without frontiers in third world countries.

Which government made them do that again? I'm 100% in favor of charity and volunteerism, which is all you're flapping about.

You mean labor leaving the capital behind and taking over means of production leaving the wealthy parasites to fend for themselves? I could get behind that too.

What labor are you talking about exactly? The unskilled, overpaid burdens that keep the US from being competitive? Hot damn would they be missed!

You do know you don't do anything of real value, right?

That almaci post he dredged up begs a certain question: When did we decide that health was a human right?

From my experience with antiques, I'm going to say the late 40s, maybe even late 50s. Before then, it was still common to sell things to the public that if used in certain ways, would kill them. And if you did so, "well fuck you, guess you shouldn't have done whatever."

And if you go even further back, when things were mostly powered by steam, things were even worse. We'd give little kids wiskey and tell them to work under and around machines in spots too small for adults. Gear needs adjusting? Stick a kid in there. He better duck instead of swerving, or it will take his arm off. "Took his arm off? Well fuck him, he was told to duck."

I wonder if anyone has studied this. I'm sure it can be traced back to something(s).

Yes, it was after WWII. Something about most of the developed world lying in a smoldering heap got people thinking it was time to change their ways and treat their fellow man better.
