(8,170 posts)Point 1 - Neither the President nor Congress is pushing for changes to state gun laws. There is a push for responsible ownership because, for example, your right to protect yourself should not also be given to a madman who thinks that "chemtrails" threaten him and so goes hunting airline pilots. There are some Democratic voters and politicians supporting even firmer controls because the evidence from every other country is that gun control works to reduce violence.
Point 2 - you really don't understand progressive taxation. Learn how the tax system works then you might be taken seriously. Your arguments here show you to be a troll
Point 3 - Affirmative action works. Whites are still massively privileged by comparison to other races. This is the exact argument a RW racist shill makes.
Point 4 - Sex, by which you seem to mean birth control. You seem ignorant of the fact that birth control is actually a hormone treatment and is used by many for that purpose. Birth control also means that the massively expensive business of pregnancy and birth is not born by poor demented Republicans, Libertarians or the Tea-bagged. You also ignore the fact that Viagra and Cialis (boner pills) would also be covered. But the best reason for allowing an assisted health service is the disgusting ineptitude of the US health system which only allows you to be healthy if you are wealthy.
Point 5 - You agree with the EPA; except when you do not. It is obvious that you are attempting to set up an argument about controls to CO2 emissions. Well guess what? Anthropogenic Global Warming is a fact and it is caused by CO2 emissions and all your denials and concern will not change that fact.
Point 6- Check out the French or the Japanese healthcare systems. Healthcare can be affordable, indeed it can be free. Here, in the Socialist Hell Hole (TM) of the UK, my partner has had operations for a cancerous thyroid, a sarcoma in her leg, decompression of both shoulder joints and continued medication for type 1 diabetes, depression and hypothyroidism. Total cost nothing (zero, zilch, nada, nichts, zip, squat, diddly). If everyone in the USA could pay the government to produce and maintain the interstate system, the internet and subsidise telephone and power distribution why can't they help pay for a decent health system?
Point 7 - Fast and Furious; an operation begun under Bush and which RW loons like you try to put onto Holder and President Obama. See also point 1
You are a RW concern troll and I hope you are PPRed rapidly
