If Republicans can't defeat Obamacare at the federal level, then why not be obstructionists at the state level? You know, to go out of their way to  make it difficult or impossible for those who need the insurance the most to be the least likely to be able to obtain it.

I do not believe in the stars and bars.  But I am a strong state rights person.  If the state goes Republican then that what the people want.

Then you're seriously ignorant on how politics work. You don't understand campaign finance, gerrymandering, voting rights or a myriad of other things that determine who gets elected and who gets to stay elected.

I'm not entire sure what "the stars and bars" are. Do you mean Old Glory? How can you not believe in a flag? They're everywhere. it's not like they require a leap of faith or anything.

Jason ON The stars and bars is the old south flags.  The stars and stripe beat the star and bars in the Civil War.  How can I be ignorant if both side do the same thing, or is it only when Republicans do it at it is wrong.  I live in Tucson, and the Democrat fixes the system so no Republican can get a fair shake.

This man of course gets government supplied health insurance.  He is just doing his best so the rest of us don't even have a chance to buy it.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
