    The south was given a lesson in that in 1861 to 65. No they cannot.

    No I read the constitution. Can't find anything guaranteeing me healthcare or a dr or insurance. Nothing. So please assist.

    The problems with government healthcare are documented. There are death panels AKA government officials who decide who is eligible and for what. It is well known that the elderly will not qualify for certain treatments and thus will be allowed to die. My former boss was denied a liver transplant because his heart was deemed to weak to survive the operation. He was sentenced to death by a VA panel who wouldn't allow it. He was willing to try but they refused. So don't think for a second that there are no death panels. This grown ass man cried on my shoulder like a baby.

    You are being lied to buddy. You are drinking the socialist nirvana koolaid not me.

    The UK didn't use the word "Fascism" but that's essentially what they were.

    But this is all beside the point. The point is that a region should be allowed to secede if they want to.
    I you seceded who would pay for all your freaking social programs? Who would protect your turf? Who would police your crime ridden streets?

    It would be fun to watch indeed.

    The government. You know if states secede and make their own country, they would have a government, right?

    Wow lol. The government gets its money from taxs. When workers get tired of being bent over they move to conservative "country" leaving nobody to pay for all the welfare puppies.

    I think the racists are literally dying out, and being replaced. We have been losing life expectancy not because most Americans have been losing life expectancy, but because trump supporters have been losing life expectancy.

    All we need to offer the new, younger voters is a real chance in life. Homosexual voters want legalized same sex marriage, not the government to find them a partner.

    The VA does not decide liver transplants. Division of Transplantation of the HHS decides who gets organs. I am sure that he was "willing" to try, but there are a limited number of livers. Why should a healthier person die, so he can "try"?

    Won't happen. Liberal countries have much higher living standards. They pay more taxes, but they get better services. Just look at the immigrants who come to America. Nearly all of them are coming from countries more (not less) conservative than America.

    I believe the point is that someone decided and that decision resulted in my boss dying. I dont disagree with you on this case BTW. I was simply explaining that Palin was absolutely correct about death panels.

    When businesses are given the opportunity to leave the high taxed "countries" and they do, who will pay the needed taxes to support those unwilling to produce who are left behind? You know the fleas. When the dog leaves what happens to the fleas?
