[gsj68]

Yeah, I am sure YOUR liberal neighbor is indicative of all the liberals out there.

if you don't like something get up and change it,bleed for it.

The President is NOT ALLOWED to CHANGE laws. I believe it is in your Constitution. Not having read the ACA bill from cover to cover, I can't say for sure, but I assume there are provisions in the law itself that allow flexibility on its implementation.

If that interpretation is wrong, I apologize. But I do not think I am.

He's not supposed to. But I believe he did in regards to immigration.
Here's a snipet...
Only Congress can lay down specifics such as in order to avoid deportation and qualify for a two-year work visa, one must have entered the U.S. prior to age 16 and possess a valid American high school diploma or be a military veteran, as the president now requires. By altering the law in this manner -- by constructing the requirements the government will impose -- the president has violated his oath to enforce the laws as they are written. His second responsibility in the Constitution (the first is to defend the Constitution) is to enforce federal laws as Congress has written them -- hence the employment of the word “faithfully” in the Constitution -- not as he wishes them to be.

This is the problem with the liberal gov't. It's not their job to take care of us and our neighbors, it's our own. It is the goal of the progressives though. Control.

That's a ridiculous statement. As for your solution, do the corporations not exist in the 50 different states? Just how would putting the power back with the states avoid politicians being "influenced" by corporations? You lost me on this one. I'm quite certain lobbyist for corporations attach themselves to politicians at every level. Re-allocate the "power" and the corporations will follow.

Easy. It takes money to fund all of these programs. The Federal Government collects the money and distributes it how they want. By allowing states and individuals to keep more of their money, they get to determine how it should be spent and the Federal government has less to distribute. Less money, means less corruption and less power. That's why establishment Republicans aren't all that unhappy about the way things are. More money flowing into Washington gives them more power, more influence, and in the end, more wealth for themselves.

The key difference is that States can't print their own money. The Federal Government has been distributing over $1 trillion per year that they don't collect in taxes from individuals, corporations, or states. They just print the money, hand it out to whoever they decide is deserving and gives the IOU to future generations. States cannot do that.

Yep, acting like children for trying to save millions of jobs and trying to stop Americans from being forced into something they don't want.

Gotcha.

Good thing your American and know what your talking about.. Oh wait...

That's just what I was beginning to think, but this is America and EVERYONE is entitled to his or her opinion. That is one thing that hopefully will not change, but under Obama you just never know.

By "out there" I was referring to the entire country, not your particular neighbourhood.

this was to funny,my super liberal neighbor just came over and started b ing about the shutdown and how he might not get his foodstamps while I was harvesting the rest of my garden that's going to feed me for the winter.

liberals,they will whin and cry but when it comes to doing something they are nowhere in sight

btw im not a republican and don't like them but these libs are just straight hostile

Your neighbor does not represent the entirety of all liberals.

Hell, when I lived on campus in UF, I saw many conservative houses that flew the Confederate flag as opposed to the American flag.....does that mean every conservative share that stupid mindset?

I highly doubt that.

So because they flew the Confederate Flag makes them Conservative?

Jefferson Davis was a democrat..

Actually, many of them (I was in UF in 2007-2008) had campaign posters on their lawns for McCain/Palin...

And get real man....outside of South Florida, Tampa, and Orlando the overwhelming majority of the state of Florida is conservative Republican.

Liberals (the majority of them anyways) don't fly the DISGUSTING confederate flag......that's a southern conservative/republican thing.

Jefferson Davis the President of The Confederate States was a democrat.
