If I remember correctly qualifying with a 9 in the military we had very few if any targets at close to that range.

The Army (and the other services) consider 50 meters the max effective range of the pistol. And max effective range is described as hitting the target 50% of the time at that range.

So 49.3 yards is 45 meters give or take.

Don't deflect. Tell me how I am a socialist.

Dude seriously. You want to forcibly take money out of my pocket and have the government distribute it to those they deem worthy. It is either socialism of thievery, take your pick. Even Bob Beckel admits that the ACA is a wealth redistribution mechanism.

As somebody said very succinctly in an earlier post:
Democrats see what they believe
Republicans believe what they see

I'm working on one for socialists, I'll get back to ya. Until then, just embrace who you are. It's wrong, but you'll get a lot more respect if you admit that you are a socialist rather than run from it all the while carrying their water and singing their tunes.

I'm not a socialist. I support expansion of Medicaid. I support increased interstate commerce when it comes to health insurance. None of those things make someone a socialist.

I think you listen to too much rush.

I like Rush. Did you know that in their song YYZ, the beat is the Morse Code for the letters YYZ which is the three letter identifier for the Toronto VOR? Pretty cool, no? Also, if you know Beethoven's 5th symphony, you also know the Morse Code for the letter V. V is the Roman numeral 5. Get it?


And yes, I know you were talking about Limbaugh. I stopped listening to him years ago. I am sure he still beats the same deceased equine that he was beating back then. But it is amusing that you liberals/socialists like to resort to the argument that anybody that doesn't agree with your POV gets their "talking points" from either Fox or Limbaugh.

I suspect that if you believe that the ACA is "socialist", then you don't understand what socialism is. Which, frankly, is what I have come to believe about everyone who throws that term around.

What real socialists believe about the ACA.

Lol. It appears that one of us doesn't understand what socialism is. I'll give you a hint: It's you.

Wow that's a reach.

I don't understand how it's reaching. Tell me how it's not controlling the means of production and cooperatively managing it? Maybe that's a good start.

"A socialist economic system is based on the organisational precept of production for use, meaning the production of goods and services to directly satisfy economic demand and human needs"

The whole point of Medicaid is to increase supply to meet demand for those that can't afford it.

"Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy,"

If society shares the the cost of medicaid, then they control the means of production and co-operatively manage it.

So the nation's defense apparatus, banking and finance, the entire road structure, power plants, all forms of transportation, education, food supplies, and every type of communication other than person to person, is socialist.

Production? How is Medicaid related to production?

I see you've chosen the "rubber and glue" retort after having your assertion bent over and shawshanked by you know....actual socialists.

Solid work.
