Vermont decided to take it a step further by setting up their very own single payer system.
The slogan of the program: Everybody in, nobody out.

But in fact one of the moral things Bush did do was get a bunch of antiHIV medication to Africa.
Depending on your definition of "politics", I'm not only willing to let others die for my politics, I'm willing to kill for them. And I'm willing to pay others to kill for my politics.
The thing is, however, that when killing and dying are necessary solutions to a political problem, it's already too late to solve it.
Consider the Confederate War; 600,000 dead, and that was just the military deaths. Half the reformed country economically destroyed and in depression. The other half followed within a decade.
Or the French revolution, which resulted in greater and more widespread horrors than those for which the people were rebelling.
Or WWII, even. The political difficulty with Japan and America wasn't resolved by killing. It was resolved by the defeat of Japan and imposition of American cultural values on the Japanese.
The current war with Islam isn't a political battle, but an ideological one. Historically, ideological battles can't be resolved through politics.

One additional point I want to make, in general I choose not to engage with people who can't help themselves and have to use vulgarities in debates. therefore, not because I'm a Puritan, but because I choose not to engage in that type of language, I will say good bye to you and wish you a Merry Christmas.

So I can afford to feed a child in Africa while continuing to survive. The child is an individual, is in need, and I can help.
Your first statement above said a moral human would save another individual. Then you immediately switched sides when that individual is in Africa. Don't play this bullshit game saying that helping those in Africa is just a simple choice. All morality is choice or it isn't morality.
Am I immoral for not helping individuals in Africa or not? If I am, then you condemn almost the entire planet as being immoral. If I am moral though, you can't play the double standard that I have to help people to be a moral human, yet still be moral while not helping people.

How do you know you weren't hallucinating?
If so I hope it is you personally who shows up at my door to be my executioner.
If they want to die for my politics then yes I will let them. If they don't want to die for my politics I won't force them.
Kinda blasts equal treatment under law.
"If you've seen any of my comments regarding homosexuality, or abortion, you would see objections with no root in or connection to religious belief.
But, they are still dismissed by people who don't want to accept them, and can't argue against them. "
>>>> Notice, Bob, that at no time or place in that post, did they even allude to WHERE they DID discover those beliefs, nor refute in any way that the beliefs were NOT, in any way, religion-based. But I was not surprised. It's the same answer I get when I ask ANYONE with that belief system "what's the basis of your 'conclusions' on the subject?" As if the idea that "marriage is only between people of different genders" sprang spontaneously into their minds one day, and not influenced by any external events or people.
It's a form of personal unconsciousness, when you don't know why you believe what you believe or can't articulate it when someone asks.
Whatever...
It's absolutely none of your business if a same sex couple marries. It changes nothing in your life except that you use it to push your religion upon another.
When you say that"no answer is possible" do you mean not possible based on what we know now, or not possible and will never be possible?
Love makes a family, not your brutal god.
You can't give birth to a unicycle.
A badger can't play the violin.
And without a representative of each of the two sexes, there cannot be a marriage.
If it seems nonsense to you, it is merely your inability to comprehend at work.
Yes, you've shown how very real your bigotry is.
Oh well... So much for intelligent discussion after it is shown how the bigotry is real.
As OK as it is for you to give birth to a unicycle.
As OK as it is for a badger to play the violin.
Besides, only a very brutal god would attempt to scare folks into following him.
