Well, I didn't say that Cardinal played the race card in this instance, only that generally speaking that is the "go to" in addressing opposition to anything O does.
And comparing another entitlement to slavery is spot on IMHO. It is what the game book for liberal politics has done for over 50 years now. Welfare, SNAP, Community Orgs., now this....All designed to give away 'free stuff' in the hopes of locking down votes for democrats....
"The federal website that enrolls Americans in ObamaCare also asks applicants if they want to register to vote, raising questions about why the Obama administration would further complicate an already crash-prone website."
Crash-prone ObamaCare site also includes voter registration option | Fox News
This is classic Cloward/Piven from the jump.
So even if someone doesn't play the race card, you have to bring out your defense against it. That's weak.
Nah, you know what is 'weak'? Conflating someones post, and attacking them for posting it, instead of addressing the points made...I guess you got nothing. :shrug:
Now you're just debating yourself again. You pulled the "race card" card just to do it.
Oh, but you did....Right here...
Your opinion on whether or not his comment comparing O-care to slavery was dumb in your eyes is not the question, after all who cares what you think about it? Right? But you are making the point that because you think it was a dumb analogy, that "disqualifies" him from saying it all because you don't agree with it...
So by your logic every time you say that someone's argument on this forum is lacking you're attacking their freedom of speech. Brilliant.
Neurosurgery aside, saying a health care program is worse than the forced, violent servitude of an entire race is, to use Donsutherland's words, historically illiterate. At that point if Dr. Carson were to claim that Ronald Reagan was president during the 80's I'd be immediately suspicious and double check that claim.
People like Dr. Carson, Colonel West, writer and economist Sowel, do not let me go down to racism.
I understand that the majority of black citizens of America, simply duped social and racial demagogues. But there is hope that one day they will understand.
I don't even know what this means.

Maybe because of this, you do not know?
I don't even know what this means.
It seems your in the dark about a lot of things.
You're*
And I see you are falling into the "this guy disagrees with me; ergo, he must be uninformed" fallacy that so pervades the right on this forum.
I notice there isn't one thing in this response from you designed to coherently discuss what I said....And instead a really poor attempt in dismissing it without even reading it....Way to go.
While pediatric neurosurgery may not be combustion engine engineering, I am pretty sure that the principle of how an engine works is not beyond the comprehension of a man of that intellect. But I think that Kobie, and now you are conflating the two, political opinion, and political science.
Obama having been a practicing Constitutional lawyer for nearly two decades.
This is what makes his transgressions 10 times worse.
If there was anything in your unhinged rant that was coherent or true, maybe it would be responded to in kind.
Nobody is claiming it's beyond their comprehension; however, it doesn't make them right.
I find it funny that people will claim Obama is a know-nothing despite having advanced higher-ed degrees and having been a practicing Constitutional lawyer for nearly two decades, but what Carson says is to be held as gospel because he is an accomplished professional in a field that is almost completely divorced from that on which he is opining.
The cognitive dissonance, it burns.
I was not aware a certain type of expertise made ones alleged transgressions "worse." Is a murderer worse if he was a butcher as his vocation?
I don't like Obama. I really don't. But so much of the things ascribed to him "trampling on the Constitution" go so much further than him. He didn't pass the NDAA by himself. He wasn't even in office when the Patriot Act was passed, which was the doorway to sending several parts of the Bill of Rights into the ****ter. Yet so many conservatives act as if we were a pure, Constitutionally sound nation until he took office.
Obama deserves some blame -- a good deal of it -- for what's been going on in this country lately. But he's hardly the only one, and I wish for once there was an intellectually honest conservative around here who would accept the blame the GOP deserves for it without disowning Bush & Co. as just a bunch of "not real conservatives."
(Not particularly going after you here, sKiTzo, you just got me on a rant.)
No, that is your characterization...It's false...Go back and re read the post again....
I've read it many times. Not once did Cardinal mention race, yet your response was "spare us from the race card."
Then you attack people for strawmen. Note for your edification: "strawman" argument does not mean "I disagree with it."
And what doctors office turns them away? None that I know of...If you don't have insurance, you just pay the office visit fee, (probably discounted for cash) and viola! Access granted.
J, you have to pay at doctors offices. I'm sorry, but people are not walking of the street and getting care they can't afford at doctors offices.
Really? Because the "emergent care" places like say "Doctor's care" that charge you flat fees for a range of services are doing a rather good business.
Which means nothing at all to what we're talking about.
