    Hello again, smoothy:

    You ARE a good tea partier. You have NO clue about government, taxes, the Constitution, how things work, or how to make them better. The only thing you know is what Fox News tells you.

    I cannot continue to discuss these weighty issues with somebody who thinks the fire department owns itself.

    There's you mistake right there, ex, you think we are discussing weighty issues rather than any old BS that any one of us decides to spout.

    What I have observed, whether it is there, or here, is that politics consists of running commentaries on the events of the day with weighty issues being buried as rapidly as possible behind a façade of look what we have done for you.

    Hey, Ex, I used to be Superman but I don't remember passing my mantle to you. To paraphase a famous saying let the world save the world.

    But seriously no one listens to what we might think, we would have to fill our little blogs with forbidden words for it to even be read outside of this site, you know the words, ex, Jihad, Bomb, Target, Osama,.

    Quite full of yourself aren't you... ever get out of your liberal town into the real world?

    I live in a city... my local fire department owns itself... it has its own mortgage on the firehouse and the property, it owns its own trucks... pays its own bills. The City doesn't pay it. THe City doesn't own it.

    Just because the Collective owns you and everything in your town doesn't mean the rest of the world operates like that. It certaily doesn't in my part of the world.


    And something else... No homeowners Collective (association) takes any money from me... or tells me what I can and can't do either on my property. I paint my house the collor I want... I plant whatever I feel like planting... and nobody can tell me otherwise.

    I know NOT living in a communist Commune is a foreign concept to you... but give it a try.

    Hello again, smoothy:

    You ARE a good tea partier. You spread the tea party lies. FOX News told you that you would go to jail if you didn't buy health insurance. It's a LIE. It ain't so. It ain't even close.

    But, keep going cause I don't have anything else to do today except to put tea partiers in their places. You said it above. You can't fix stupid.

    Great idea, you could extend it to sending illegals to jail and then it will be a short step to incarcerate the entire nation, tell me, when you get there, where will you house them and who will look after them. Think on this though
    According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS): "In 2008, over 7.3 million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole at year-end — 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults."[
    So if I read the statistics right, the jail and courts system is already failing as an incentive to uphold the law so why would you think it might work for health care insurance evaders, or the unemployed

    Stay happy in your little fantasy world... because that's exactly what they have in that bill. I suppose you've actually read it...

    Or are you like Nancy Pelosi... who never read a word of it?

    Ok then, provide proof that they will send you to jail since you've read it.

    What would I do... here is another suggestion... same people.

    I have NO sympathy for the illegals. Nor the terrorist prisoners.

    I'd do the same for both. Push them out over their own country. I am sick of the lazy bums ignoring OUR laws... wasting OUR tax dollars.

    Hello again, smoothy:

    Yeah, we're not done. The prisoners in Gitmo haven't been found guilty of ANYTHING. There's been no trials. Of the 600 that your man Cheney said were "the worst of the worst", 400 of 'em have been let go.

    Now, you would murder the ones that are left. And you somehow think that makes you better than them. It doesn't.

    Boy you are full of it today.

    Newsflash... they ARE terrorists... I suppose Osama Bin Laden hasn't been found guilty of anything either... nor have any other innocent terrorists that your Messiah Obama has been having killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gee... that Makes Obama a Murderer by your logic since none of them have been convicted of any crime.


    Enemy Combatants are NOT entitled to a criminal trial... only left wing loons believe that.

    I suppose all the Japanese that attacked peral Harbor were all innocent too, because YOU didn't give them a trial. Same with Adolf Hitler.


    You have to live on the west coast... because NOBODY that lives near NYC or Washington DC... except for Moron in the whitehouse believes they are inncoent.

    And its clear you were never a target of those TERRORISTS... which they are regardless of what YOU claim.

    You must have voted for that lunatic and communist Nancy Pelosi... because not even New Yorkers are that out of touch with reality.

    He made the claim saying its not in there as a penalty... he has to provide the evidence that its not. I'm still waiting for THAT evidence.

    THat Bill was a lefty bill after all... the lefties that support it should know where everything is and be able to back it up if its so damned good.

    So... you know every word that's in it... there is a penalty section for those NOT volunteering to get this wonderful piece of crap.

    Post that section... you have essentually just stated there is no penalties for those who decide they don't want it, and its not on a blank page. Cut and paste is sufficient.

    Here is what the health care law says about the penalty for not carrying insurance.

    2) SPECIAL RULES.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law—
    ''(A) WAIVER OF CRIMINAL PENALTIES.— In the case of any failure by a taxpayer to timely pay any penalty imposed by this section, such taxpayer shall not be subject to any criminal prosecution or penalty with respect to such failure.
    ''(B) LIMITATIONS ON LIENS AND LEVIES.—The Secretary shall not—
    ''(I) file notice of lien with respect to any property of a taxpayer by reason of any failure to pay the penalty imposed by this section, or
    ''(ii) levy on any such property with respect to such failure.

    Hello again, smoothy:

    It's appropriate that you finally posted a billboard. That IS where you get your information. I can't argue with billboards or slogans. It ain't satisfying.

    I've tried to teach you a few things, like who owns your fire department, but you ain't interested in learning. You're interested in spouting the latest slogan.

    So, like many of our arguments, I'm going to end it here. Don't worry, I'll jump in here and there to point out your errors in the future. But, you won't get me involved into a "did so - did not" argument as this one has devolved into. That's what 4 year olds do.

    You said people will go to jail. We said they wouldn't. You said that means there is NO penalty. Can't argue with stupid.
