HYPOCRISY: Claiming the Bible says the government should provide insurance coverage for all. Know what happened in Bible days when people got sick? Most of them died. There was no healthcare and by the way, the government back then DID NOT pretend to care. How presumptuous can someone be to use the Bible as if it says "Thou shalt provide insurance coverage for all?" That just is not in there. You would likely support separation of church and state. Well the state is not equal to the church nor the Kingdom of God.

Your mean-spirited character speaks for itself.
Wake up yourself, if you'd rather people die in the streets, have the courage to say so. Since they're being treated in ERs though, you're already paying for it. I'd rather pay less AND have these people treated. You may take another position if you like.
Thanks, your exclusionary attitude is all the evidence needed to oppose you. Religion is not a club used to bludgeon others, but you would gladly do so. That'd be a great argument to remove those words from the coinage, wouldn't it?
"REMEMBER THOSE pictures of racists lining up against black people in the early 1960s? That's what you looked like at Chick-fil-A the other day."
Great comment. I thought precisely the same thing when I saw those pitifully narrow minded, self-rigteous peacocks strutting and showing off their bigotry for all to see.
""IT SAYS "One nation under God." If the atheists oppose this, then they should find another country!""
I hate to burst your bible thumping bubble, but the Pledge of Allegiance did not include the words "under god" until congress passed legislation for it on June 14th 1954.
1953 - Federal legislators are lobbied by religious leaders from the Knights of Columbus, as well as the Hearst Newspapers and the American Legion, who are "worried that orations used by 'godless communists' sound similar to the Pledge of Allegiance." A bill to add "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance is introduced in the House by Rep. Louis Rabaut (D-MI), and in the Senate from Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-MI).
1954,June 14 - Congress considers three variations of the "under God" phrase: "One Nation under God," "One Nation, under God," and "One Nation indivisible under God." Congress accepts variation #1 based on a recommendation from the Library of Congress. 1992 John W. Baer, DA, MBA. The words "under God" are inserted into the Pledge. The legislation is supported by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, "fearing an atomic war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union," who signs the bill. The new Pledge reads: "I Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Even if Obamacare increases cost, which is does not, I would not mind paying extra taxes for those in need through preventive care, access to doctors without headed to the emergency room, etc. Tea Partiers to poor and uninsured: let them die.
Make no mistake, this is not a Christian nation, but not for the reasons paranoid delusional tea party right wingers think. It has nothing to do with gay marriage, school prayer, or 10 commandments posted in the courthouse or schools.
This nation devoutly worships money.
I agree with Downtownman. And, I don't believe most Americans want to be led by deceitful, hate-spewing, mean-spirited, greedy, selfish narcissists.
I wonder how many of those folks that went to Chick-Fil-A the other day had ever been there before or will ever go back. I tried it once, in 1996!
"All religions are the same, they're all based on fables and mythologies." Thomas Jefferson. Well said Mr. Jefferson.
For once Clay Bennett got it right when he called Obama a socialist, but I doubt his sincerity.
