Doug, if I can reverse the meaning of your 43 word argument by changing
just one word, then your argument was bullshit to begin with. In your
next article, you might as well just leave out all the flair and write
"Obama Hitler socialism fear Muslim liberal bad angry hate". You'll
save your readers time.

Oooh, I’ll bet Michael Moore is just shivering from that stinging verbal barrage.

Mr. Powers, every person is qualified to be a spokesman for what direction our health care system should take, including you. Why you ask? Because it affects all of us.
