Great Prognostications in American Conservative History

[Triana]

I'll add a recent one:

You can't enact Obamacare or the economy will collapse.

. . .("Even though we coined the term "Obamacare" ourselves as a slur, we hate it if it's called that. We like it OK if it's called the Affordable Care Act. We hate "Obamacare" so much that we wasted $1.45 million taxpayer dollars over 41 times trying to repeal the evil socialist "Obamacare" stuff. That means we wasted about $59.45 million taxpayer dollars because we hate "Obamacare. The ACA is OK with us though.&quot <--- GOP

2. OMG, they were right.

Prove to me society hasn't collapsed.

3. I think the economy has collapsed due to deregulation, loss of revenue and jobs and corprat greed

All caused by Republican policies (deregulating, cutting taxes, sending work overseas for cheap labor and tax evasion)

Social Security, Obamacare etc. are not the reasons the economy is in trouble. Two wars and huge tax cuts for the rich, and Medicare Part D are the bulk of our current debt and the rest (loss of decent-paying jobs, loss of revenue, etc) is a direct result of bad GOP economic policy ie: "shrink government so we can drown it in women's vaginas" type rule.

4. Yes, the self-fulfilling prophecy.

More than the economy has collapsed, though. Democracy as it was once envisioned is gone, bought up by the banksters & corporations.

Privacy has collapsed, invaded by both the government and commercial interests.

Freedom has collapsed, as witness our out-of-control militarized police.

9. Can't disagree. n/t

5. Collapse is a word that sounds far more severe to me

than the current state of affairs.

Currency worth nothing, prices going out of anyone but the very rich's range, no law and order - something like Somalia.

7. LOL

Maybe it's time for you to get off the Internet for awhile.

8. What part of cynical hyperbole

are you having trouble with?

6. The trolls are here in force to attack the Affordable Helath Care Act

just as millions more will see its benefits on October 1.
