So the Republicans are Terrorists now...

The argument isn't over abortion. It's about the hypocrisy of the GOP, and their glee for forced vaginal probes, while scaring women away from Obamacare with the idea being probed by Uncle Sam.

The ad is brought to you by the same people, the GOP, who support forced vaginal probes.

GOP huh? How about the Generation Oppurtunity group not the GOP. Koch funded huh? these in the 90's against Clinton so maybe they are on to something.

Signing up for Obamacare will force Millennials to pay more to cover costs for the wealthier. Rates will increase by an average of 169% for the young while older people will pay about 22% less.

Now that we know government collects the email and phone data of innocent Americans, do you want to further compromise your privacy? If you sign up for Obamacare, your sensitive information will go into a new central data hub — an identity thief’s dream.

Obamacare is full of exceptions for those connected enough to get special favors, mostly corporate cronies, congress and their special friends. These inconsistencies contribute to businesses avoiding Obamacare by shifting to more part-time positions-hurting those looking for jobs after graduation.

The invasive procedure is a metaphor for what the government is doing with the PPACA. You see, you have to give them info BEFORE you know if you qualify so it is a data collection site. A probe into your personal space.

Apparently it is not possible to overdose on the Kool-aid. Brain functioning falls to zero, but the Obombie continues to consume oxygen and regurgitate scary tales of extremist conservatives who want to shoot or enslave everyone.

Fear-mongering, like racism, is an allegation frequently made by "progressives" to discredit conservatives and libertarians. Just like racism, progressives show that they are guilty of far more fear-mongering than the "supremacist and alarmist right-wing nut jobs."

Lack of self-awareness, at least when it comes to socio-political ethos, seems to be a core trait of the modern progressive. Hence, the constant accusations that the other side commits transgressions that are repeatedly comitted by progressives themselves.

Example 1 -
Conservative: "We need to close down the housing projects. They have become hives of crime and dereliction."
Progressive: "That's racist! You just want to harm the minorities!"
The above exchange had nothing to do with race, until the progressive injected the issue. In fact, the progressive's assumption that only minorities live in housing projects is the only racist aspect of the statements.

Example 2 -
The post by Alienscience that I am replying to. Fear-mongering and stereotyping in their barest forms.

What are you talking about? The Koch brothers practically OWN the GOP!

Yeah, getting young people to OPT OUT of Obamacare is in the best interest of young people. Young people won't need medical insurance! They don't do stupid things and get hurt, ever!



And let's give young people "OPT OUT" beer Koozies! College kids NEVER drink too much beer and get hurt!

Generation Opportunity intends to host events at college football tailgate parties festivals, where "brand ambassadors" (read: hot young people) will pass out beer koozies that read, "opt out," pizza and literature about the health care law. Some events may have impromptu dance parties with DJ's, complete with games of Cornhole and competitions for prizes, organizers said.

“You might have to pay a fine, but that’s going to be cheaper for you and better for you."

The best part of the OPT OUT program for young people is they get to pay a fine and they get to NOT have health insurance for it!

Yeah, Generation Opportunity is really looking out for the best interest of young people!

An unbiased summation, and presented with such clarity! Had I read this first, I may not have felt so obliged to beat back the idiocy that has flooded this thread.

No they don't! They have a major say in the libertarian party.

Fred Koch was one of the founding members and major funders of the John Birch Society, but his sons converted to libertarianism and set up and funded several major libertarian think tanks in the late 1970s, most notably the Cato Institute. The Koch brothers were also major funders of the Libertarian Party from 1976 to 1983. They withdrew their funding after 1983 to focus on trying to spread libertarian ideas through major party politics and Beltway think tanks like Cato. Their role within the Libertarian Party was initially welcomed -- David Koch was even nominated as the party's 1980 vice-presidential candidate -- but later controversial as they were felt by some more hard-core libertarian activists to be more interested in party machine politics than in libertarian purity, which eventually caused the 1983 split in the party when the Kochs and Cato's Ed Crane left.

They do contribute to the republican party, but the rothschilds own the big elephant.

FYI

terrorist n.

a person who employs terror or terrorism, esp as a political weapon

dictionary.reference.com...

Now consider,

"We're pleased the president finally recognises that his refusal to negotiate is indefensible," said [House Speaker John Boehner's] spokesman Brendan Buck.

"It's unclear why we'd be having this meeting if it's not meant to be a start to serious talks between the two parties."

Analysts say Mr Boehner could end the showdown by allowing the House to vote on a "clean" budget bill that does not alter the health law, because that could pass with a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans.
www.bbc.co.uk...

and then later in the same article,

Treasury department employee Peter Gamba told the BBC he was worried by the turn of events.

"For whatever reason I cannot fathom, you're asking me to again give up my pay and give up service to the American public," he said.

"It's a nightmare for me financially, it causes me a lot of anxiety and stress and I don't sleep well at night."

You realize that 'children' up to 26 can be covered by parents, right? That even if they are pregnant it is covered, right? Kids have done dumb # since the dawn of time but tasering themselves or trying to jump something on a bile is not a valid argument for the PPACA.

How about something about what I posted about the organization who you claimed was simply the GOP that created the video and the metaphor that was used?

More and more I am reading this everywhere. On the MSM, on blogs, even here in our little corner of the internet. People are calling the Republicans and the Tea Party Terrorists!!!

This is insane. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU. Shame on the newsites for printing this garbage, but mostly SHAME on you America, shame on every poster on this site that has posted this nonsense. To call fellow Americans Terrorists... Why? Because you disagree with them? Thats the lowest of the low, a downright shame and a slap in the face to everything this country stands for.

This is exactly what TPTB want. We are now turning on each other like rabid dogs. An entire segment is being labeled Terrorists... Where will this lead? No where I hope. But if people start being rounded up for their beliefs we only have ourselves to blame.

This is DANGEROUS, very dangerous talk guys. I can't believe I'm actually hearing Americans talking to each other like this.

oh...now you get a taste of what liberals have been called on this site, and SUDDENLY IT'S NOT FUNNY ANY MORE????....awwhh!! you're upset...man up bucko, grow a thick skin....as a left of center member of ATS for the past 6 years, I have had to read about what garbage we liberals have been in post after post.

So what? The democrats were pounding bush jr day and night. I was here long enough to remember. And guess they were right even if they didnt know exactly why. Most people didnt know much about who did 9-11 like they know now.

What the hell has obama done to improve anything? He has only taken a bad situation and made it worst.

I hope ex democrats(occupy type) go green.

Oh, I forgot to address this gem...

The OPT OUT program is not created by this group, it was created by the PPACA! You just have to pay a fine and more taxes which again is driven by the PPACA.

Soros worries me way more than the Koch organization and we all know where of center he resides.

I like how all you partisan hacks act outraged over someone calling you a terrorist, then proceed to make a bunch of posts that basically say "NO, LIBERALS ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS ".

What is it about political parties that inhibits intellectual consistency?

These politicians constantly play off your fear and continue to drive a wedge between us to the point that some think a civil war is a good idea. I know people who wouldn't piss on their liberal/conservative neighbor if they caught fire, and no one seems to have a problem with it, as long as their side gets some votes.

I remember disagreeing with the Iraq war and hearing "If you don't agree with us, you're with the terrorists". I can't count how many times I've heard someone called a nazi in moment of political bickering. Why are you guys acting like this stuff is new? how do you not see that they are using you? This is political theater. Both sides do it. All you fools are only kindling for their fires.

here's US news and world report take on it:

I found a number of "he's the worse president in history!" sites....but i'm showing the sites where improvements have been made.

We should all be glad there is partisan bickering. Nobody is a terrorist, regardless of what that creepy mad Harry Reid says. Our congressmen are doing what they are supposed to do....represent their constituents and believe me...some are fighting mad at how they are constantly manipulated and drained to pay for all the crap and pet projects of politicians. We are still The People.

That is why I love the Tea Party! They have stirred the pot and caused people to wake up to the goings on in that cesspool of corruption called Washington D.C.

We have been drifting further and further away from the Constitution and the soul of America. Millions and millions are fed up.

You do realize that not all kids have two parents? You do realize that not all parents can afford health care coverage for themselves, little alone their grown children living on their own and working at Domino's. Not all parents have jobs that offer health care.

You do realize that colleges offer special health insurance rates for their students? You do realize that these college insurance programs will fall underthe jurisdiction of the ACA? Encouraging young people and college students to opt out of affordable health care is irresponsible and unethical, to boot.

Koch brothers now at heart of GOP power

The billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch no longer sit outside Washington's political establishment, isolated by their uncompromising conservatism. Instead, they are now at the center of Republican power, a change most evident in the new makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Can you define what libertarians are?

I see your point, but they are NOT mainstream republicans. The tea party is a mixture of traditional conservatism and libertarianism. libertarianism is a mixture of liberalism and conservatism.

Are there no green party members in the democrat party "out of necessity"?
