uh... you brought up Bachmann so..

I'm not losing anything. I'm saying hyperlexian will put an end to it, so why wait until then? If we keep fighting back and forth about this or that politician in a Republican-versus-Democrat fashion, we're off-topic and will be stopped. Do you enjoy being stopped?


It does not matter what political party you support, Bachmann and Palin are missing something behind their eyes

hyperlexian won't need to intervene because there is nothing going on to violate the TOS, you are just trying to worm your way out of a losing debate. Fine by me


Fine, keep derailing it.

It's not a derailment, political power is an extremely important form of power and the thread is about the "feminist preoccupation with power." Let us continue the discussion, I feel we have landed on a nice meaty matter!

That's true. What kind of feminists were Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman? Why were they seeking power?

Is it against the Terms of Service to derail Ragtime's rhetorical victory? If so, we shall no doubt be hearing about it shortly.

That's when they have the most impact and get noticed the most. Maybe I just have really sh***y feet, or maybe I walk too much, but I find the pain excruciating.

Have no idea if this is the issue, but worth looking into; much easier to treat in the beginning of the symptoms, rather than after one has lived with it for years. :)

Well then, like I said, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are awesome Christian women how are very savvy and there WILL be death panels to Obamacare. They're already preparing healthcare rationing -- that's the only way free healthcare can work. Just go to the U.K. and watch it for yourself. They already tell older people "You can't have this drug or procedure that would save your life because it's too expensive." Ya, I'll take the health system we have now, thanks.

The point of all that is that Sarah Palin is such a savvy woman that she's right about death panels. And Michelle Bachmann pursued Constitutional Studies to the highest educational level there is for it. Oh ya, what a dummy.

It feels like knives are actually stuck in my heels.

Wow, yeah that does not sound normal. Might just be a particular sensory issue with yourself or possibly a genetic foot-structure issue? They definetely don't feel like that for me.

You may not know this, but many of us actually live outside Texas, and your advice to "look for yourself" sounds so very very silly coming from you. I have just gone through more than a year of psychological and psychiatric assessments. Probably 20 consults. This is free. I pay a small percentage of the actual cost of my medicine. My father was just put in public healthcare for his dementia. This is free, and nobody is conspiring to kill him. My mother gets visited by nurses three times a day. This is free, and nobody is conspiring to kill her.

The death panel malarkey is a lie, made to make ignorant people vote against a system most of them need desperately.

This, my friend, is NOT a matter of faith. If you want to see how dangerous public health care is, take your own advice and SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Even under medical service for pay service is rationed. Those who can afford it get and those who cannot afford don't get it.

Medical services are in finite supply provided by a finite number of people with the skill who have at most 24 hours per day to provide it. So no service will be available in unlimited supply on demand for the service, regardless of what system is in place.

This would be hilarious satire, except for the fact that you actually believe it.

Under capitalism the death panel for medicine is not being able to afford to buy insurance.. And Sarah Palin calls herself a Christian? Sarah Palin worships money.

Hospitals are required under current law to save dying people from dying regardless of payment, and that has long if not always been the case. So, ya, you comment is b.s. If it was deliberate, stop lying, and if it was accidental, research stuff before you post about it.

And yet in another thread you try to defend FREE STERILIZATION courtesy of Obamacare! Which is a medically unnecessary and permanent procedure.

If a life can be save via simple CPR, then yes.

If we're talking about a heart transplant or extended chemotherapy, then no.

Obama advocates for equal pay for women, doesn't practice this in the White House:

Now... start the excuses!
