Unless you're Dunedan, in which case you believe we should all belong to the United States of Wall Street and that the founding fathers were all dead wrong about everything they ever said, wrote, or (most importantly) signed. But it's not enough to simply pull the selective "I'm a victim of taxation" card, no you've got to lie, cheat and steal to get what you want. During your tantrum, you scream out absurdities like "death panels" and "abortion funding" and "socialism" because you think everyone's as susceptible to scare tactics as you are. Only we're not. 77% of the country supports the public option. Ouch. On top of that, the Democrats have a super-majority, and the White House, so you're just going to have to deal with the sour grapes of drastically improved health care as the last nail is put into the coffin of your political ideology. Double ouch.
