One sees a smattering of absolutist clowns on the Left or Right – like Alan Keyes and Dennis Kucinich. The important thing to remember is they have marginalized themselves so much with extremist beliefs that 95% of the public will not vote for them. And members of their own Party give such clown ideologues in the rank&file as well as leadership polite smiles as their pet vein-popping hairy thunderers – but thats about it. They are not taken seriously,

105. myth buster:
The only thing the Republicans did wrong in the Terry Schiavo case was Gov. Bush did not seize custody of Terry and order the reinsertion of the feeding tube regardless of what any judge said. His brother would have pardoned him for that stunt, and Terry might still be alive if he’d done that.
Anything that was Terri Schiavo died within half an hour of her brain being destroyed by lack of oxygen. What was left as the autopsy showed, was a veggie husk, and several dozen Right-to-Lifers nuts lying their asses off about her miraculous cognitions. Had Jeb Bush gone outlaw for a rutabaga, he would have been pulled from office.

#74 – momof3:
Why are bible and backwoods always put in the same phrase?
Because political scientists have noted that the the Religious Right tends to concentrate in low-educated whites in lower socioeconomic strata and tend to live backwoods, or are 1st, 2nd Gen out of the backwoods and rural areas into suburbs or cities.
Believing in God, and believing that killing a child is wrong, and that 2 men or 2 women marrying is wrong, does not make one backwoods.
No, but it becomes likely that the typical person believing things like a zygote is a child, the Bible is literally true, evolution is a hoax, and homosexuality is mostly genetically determined – tend to come from the backwoods or have recent ancestors emerging from backwaters or low educational attainment families..
Momof3 – Quite frankly, health insurance is a commodity, not a right.
Quite frankly, everything the government does is a material or service commodity. Voters get to choose if they want to pay for such commodities, like schools, military protection, police, basic research, paying interest to the Chinese vs. stiff them for out competing us at a cheap labor price.
Sometimes we have chosen government because private enterprise and “freedom-lover’s free markets!!” have proved singular failures at providing comparable product via private enterprise. Now we have evidence that the private health sector in the US has failed to work as well as universal care – we pay 50% more per capita, have higher death rates & lower life expectancy than Europe or most of Asia, the number of uninsured is exploding again as costs explode and place private health insurance outside affordibility of the working poor.
Momof3 – walk around whining about not being able to afford health insurance, I am much more likely to spit on your stupidity than feel sorry for you. And that is exactly who most of these “uninsureds” are: people who just would rather spend their money on other things. You make that choice, you live (or die) by it.
With 40% overhead and another 20% of US medical costs attributable to fees for med profesionals, med facility, hospital and nursing home owners far higher than those charged in the advanced countries of Europe and Asia.
Annual private health care insurance costs have approached 10,000 per family vs. 6,000 in France. Poorer workers are faced with a choice of spending on inadequate insurance or going without and deliberately having no personal property or savings – becoming asset-less indigents.
As for spitting on the working poor and former Reagan Democrats, fortunately, Ayn Rand style conservatives, Wall Street ripoff artists, and the backwoods Fundies that do not believe in Darwinism except as applied to the poorer Americans? Well, you have no political power anymore. You scared the Silent Majority and Reagan workers away from such religious and conservative extremism.
You won’t be spitting on anyone.
