Curious thing when searching for images... it was hard to find any that were critical of the Democrats. That didn't used to be the case. Now, the image repository gave me pages and pages of blame for the GOP. Interesting.
I stopped reading this ahole’s moonbat screed after the first line.
Spoken like a true liberal.
Neither were our Founders. The revolutionaries began as the minority, but they were focused and ready to give their all for what they believed.
As per usual the progressive liberal communist media will never acknowledge it is obama who would shut down the government.
I must have missed the memo that says the Pope is our de facto leader on government policy...
Who knew !
It seems that 47% of Americans are members of the Gibmedat Party.
James Harris is a retired federal air traffic controller...

Scary to think that someone with such distorted thinking was in a position of controlling air traffic. Glad he’s retired. Now he should retire from writing.
LOL....funny how libs consider themselves *entitled* to their own sets of facts. This line was particularly amusing....
....The fiscal responsibility of the government is administering programs that benefit the safety, welfare, equal treatment of its people and care for the environment.
The recent visit from Pope Francis was pretty clear on this.
This idiot could not be MORE wrong. I missed that “programs” edict in the Constitution....especially the environment one.
Oh, and who gives a flying fig what the Socialist Pope has to say about what the responsibilities of OUR government are?
I hate Obamacare because it doesn't work, is way overpriced, doesn't do what it was supposed to do...
I would agree our healthcare system needed some serious tweaking, everyone should have access to "medical care" not necessarily "medical insurance"
Several simple "fixes" would have fixed a vast majority of the problems...
And that pales in comparison to the numbers lost in boating accidents. No wonder so many gun dealers have been having banner sales!
Yes, and the earth is flat, too.
{”James Harris is a retired federal air traffic controller”}
The fact that this person has misstated and misunderstood the positions of Tea Party voters is not the worst part of the article.
The knowledge that he ever had any position of responsibility is frightening.
Maybe he was younger and saner then.
Does this means he got a nice FedGov gig after President Reagan busted the PATCO union?
Hey Harris...if wishes were fishes, they’d all swim away.
Dream on!
His ‘majority’ can’t do the math to see the government spends more than it takes in, so he and his majority should voluntarily pay more in taxes and immediately make up the shortfall and then the TEA Party has no reason to exist and he will be happy...
with the majority of what?
Last I heard polls showed 20% were liberal and 40% were conservative. Tea Party/conservatives are not in step with most of the politicians in the Department of Corruption in Washington but the grass roots seem to be much more conservative than corrupt.
“2. They hate Obamacare. I fail to see a problem with everyone having access to health insurance. There is something basically wrong with people going to emergency rooms for routine medical issues. There are problems with the health care program, but surely less entrenched representatives should be able to sit down and find common-ground solutions to those problems.”
In response to his point #2:
“The hate Obamacare.” You aren’t listening Mr. Harris. They hate the government interfering with the health care system. They do not like the government mandating the items covered by insurance policies and the fact they have to purchase insurance for services they do not desire. They hate the prospect of panels of faceless bureaucrats choosing the medical services care services they will be able to purchase when elderly. They hate the fact Obamacare has increased, not decreased the cost of healthcare. They hate the fact Obamacare created over 100 new federal bureaucracies from which there is no perceived benefit. They hate the fact the rules for implementation have been arbitrarily changed by the president and bureaucrats, contrary to the law itself. They hate the fact it ties the hands of doctors performing services and is resulting in many talented health care workers leaving the profession.
Everyone had access to health insurance before Obamacare. Insurance companies sold policies. Many employers provided policies. The market worked.
With respect to his point, #2, “ I fail to see a problem with everyone having access to health insurance. There is something basically wrong with people going to emergency rooms for routine medical issues.” I agree. However Mr. Harris the situation has not changed. Obamacare has been the law of the land for several years yet if you go to any emergency room in America today you will see people waiting to see emergency room doctors who could have easily been cared for at a regular doctor office, an urgent care center, or a public health center. In fact some will receive no better care at the emergency room today than they would have received by going to Walgreens or CVS and buying a pain killer, decongestant, or anti diarrhea medicine.
As to his assertion less entrenched representatives should be able to sit down and find solutions for the problems that remain in the health care system, I pose one simple question for Mr. Harris. The ACA has been the law of the land for over five years. When will the Democrats in the House and the Senate, the ones who passed this legislation, present a bill to Congress providing solutions to the problems identified since implementation?
