A commodity-based monetary standard is moral based on what objective criteria?

You should tag these sorts of things as press releases. Or did someone at the Indie actually see it and call it "uniquely satisfying"?

More evidence of how challenged by reality Republicans are: According to a new national poll (http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/...), only 27% of Republicans say Obama actually won the election, 52% say that ACORN stole it, and 21% are undecided.
Although some might want to compare this with Democratic complaints over the 2000 election, Gore did actually win the national popular vote, but to believe that Obama didn't really win the 2008 election, one would have to think that 9.5 million votes were added or stolen.
Apparently a majority of Republicans would rather believe in such a vast conspiracy than accept that their guy (and gal) actually got fewer votes than the dark-skinned fascist/socialist alien who wants to destroy their freedom.

We just had 8 years of Republicans, or have you already conveniently forgotten who got us into these problems? The followers of Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh--and this is what the Republican party has become--aren't interested in governing, just in making noise, manufacturing lies and conspiracy theories, and drawing attention to themselves.
And one of the problems in California is that due to the ridiculous rules requiring two-thirds majorities on revenue bills, a small minority of obstructionist Republicans can hold the state hostage to its narrow ideology, which again isn't about governing, just making noise.

Perhaps these children are too young to realize that we had a president named George Bush who trashed the constitution and the economy, tortured people to death, and set out on deceitful and disastrous wars that left the US less safe, all in the name of "conservative" values. Since it would be too painful to admit that "re-establishing" conservative values would mean examining what they can learn from the disastrous Bush/Cheney regime, they would rather trash Obama for trying to deal with the mess and go all the way back to Jimmy Carter to find a whipping boy. If they had an ounce of honesty they would look at the leaders of their own movement, whose actions made contemporary conservatism such a foul joke.

Why no balance in this piece? For example, http://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/30..., where the insurance company explains why it considers this stuff "experimental and investigational because there is inadequate evidence of the effectiveness of cold laser therapy in wound healing, pain relief, or for other indications such as physical therapy, musculoskeletal dysfunction, arthritis, lymphedema, and neurological dysfunctions"?

Perez. What does the issue of paying for the program have to do to with my pointing out your ignorance of what it actually means to call someone a National Socialist, and how does it have any relation to your belief that criticizing Bush is equivalent to loving people who sew IEDs into children? After all, these are the issues I actually raised. I guess your special street cred makes it unnecessary for you to offer any reasoned argument beyond bluster and insult.

Perez. If you had even an elementary knowledge of history, you would realize that when someone says, "these days National Socialism [is] really what’s being wedged up our rectums," there is simply no other way to take this as anything else than a reference to the Nazi takeover in Germany--look up "National Socialism" if you can find a dictionary.
He also said he watched "the people you probably love so much sew IED's inside children’s bodies." Since you approve of this comment, you apparently also agree that people who criticize Bush's war policies love those who sew IEDs into children's bodies. What is the clue to this grotesque characterization that I'm missing?
So the government is providing you a choice you don't want to exercise. So don't exercise it. People who think that exercising choice is the same as losing their freedom have lost their ability to reason.

So health care reform is part of a Nazi takeover of the United States, and criticizing Bush's war policies is equivalent to loving people who sew IEDs inside children's bodies. And people who want to give you a choice of health insurance programs are not only a danger to you and your family and a clear and present danger to our nation, but "far more than that"--you mean like a danger to the universe? No wonder you're so panicked.

So "Obama is doing all of the same things that Bush did, and worse!" Bush tortured people to death, lied the US into a war in Iraq, ran a war in Afghanistan into a possibly unwinnable mess, turned governmental regulatory agencies over to people who wanted to dismantle them and let the so-called free market solve all our problems, stood in the way of doing anything about global warming, alienated our foreign allies, appointed right-wing ideologues to the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, had a Justice Department that spent less time pursuing civil rights issues than finding ways to destroy political enemies--The claim that Obama is doing these same things is nuts.
