Poll question: "Obamacare is un-American."
Edited on Tue Apr-19-11 09:41 AM by Deep13
This vague argument is a good example of one of the most common criticisms of the health insurance reform law.

Following this, um--let's say "logic"--what else is un-American?

You may infer an "other" choice by adding your own in a response.

1. This post is a clever way for Obama "critics" to attack Obama.
Edited on Tue Apr-19-11 09:19 AM by Renew Deal
How is your statement a "criticism?" It's actually a clever insult.

6. Ask those who say so. I have no idea.
My point is to ridicule those who think social legislation is somehow immoral because it happens to apply to this bit of geography.

8. To be fair,
it appears to me, since it is in quotation marks, that the OP is simply stating the Republican talking points, not making on of his/her own.

15. Interracial marriage, letting women minorities and non-Christians and non-landowners vote, and

all this nonsense about how I can't own slaves. It says in the got dang Bible that I can have slaves:

Leviticus 25:44-46

44Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

45Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

46And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

Now since this is a Christian country according to Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck, I ought to be able to do what God says I can do.

17. Exactly!
If it was good enough for a bronze age, sociopathic desert god, it's good enough for me.
