Thought I was the only one who didn’t get that, although I can think of things on a taxiway that might apply.

I guess odumbo didn’t think about all those pesky little unintended consequences when he rammed this down our throats.

Is your wife a potential NEW democrat voter? Therein lies an "intended" consequence. Do you recall a speech wherein he promised no extensive treatment to keep grandma alive? Can't imagine his glee at seeing his "dreams" come to fruition, that are or will be nightmares for the rest of us.

Obamacare now paying for illegal immigrants

Snip: Last week the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that it was funneling Obamacare cash to 67 community health centers where the money would be used for migrant farm workers. HHS also informed us that the immigration status of said farm workers would not be ascertained before free care was given meaning that illegal aliens would be given Obamacare funding.

When I posted this article, I wasn’t even thinking of same sex couples. Now I’m wondering if the rules are different in the states that recognize gay marriage. (Blech!)

Anyone more knowlegeable then me have an answer?

LOL A submarine.

I have been asking around on this one, and I have found that the crime at this particular base has grown worse over the last year or so. It makes me very angry.

One big reason for gay marriage was so that the "spouse" could tap into the benefits plan of the "husband". Take that away, and much of the incentive for gay marriage goes away.
