Universal health care scares the crap outta me. Anyone who says all Americans don't have access to health care is wrong. All Americans do have access to health care. The question is how it's paid for. Some have insurance, some have health care savings plans, some have Medicare/Medicaid. Those that are left either pay out of pocket, or don't pay at all. They generally don't get turned away though for health care needs.

Donna, I understand where you are coming from, being in the medical industry, but that is a complete lie.

No one can say for certain that health care will suffer. tell that to someone who does not have it. You have insurance. Not everyone does. It is a simple argument I present, and I am not as educated on this topic as Hillary Clinton(and she knows her shit), but my argument is that every legal American citizen should have health care. Canada gets it. It's the humanly thing to do.

Enough about money. Make it available, make it work and make it for everyone who needs it.

It is available. It's just not free. Every legal American (and even those here illegally) can get health care. The only difference is who is paying for it. My concern is that if anyone can go at the drop of a hat to get whatever drugs they want to get, that the health care will have to be rationed out, and there will be those that truly need it who don't get it because of it.

It's a double-edged sword, I understand that. There have been times I've taken family members to the emergency room for a true emergency, and have had to wait because it was filled to capacity, mostly with folks who use the ER as a family practice because they know they won't get turned away. My loved ones' care is delayed because of people who really don't belong there anyway. Similar to the story I shared about using 911 for non-emergent transportation. It's not uncommon for those that are using the ER as a family practice to be non-english speaking people, who are likely not legal US citizens. Or, folks with Medicaid who pay the same regardless of whether they are using the clinic down the road or the emergency room. Now... which of those is costing more? Many hospitals are resorting to 'fast track' components of the emergency room to handle non-emergency cases like this, but I submit that the cost for operation of that is still much higher than the family clinic down the road. Wouldn't you agree?

If something is totally free, people don't respect is as much as if they have to buy into it. I bet some folks would be less likely to rely on welfare if they actually had to DO SOMETHING to earn it.

I don't know all there is to know about the system, but what experience I do have leads me to believe it isn't the answer.

Jason, I am fine with gay folks. I support the right for gays to marry. I take a lot of shit on this site for being "too liberal." I think gays should have every single right straights do. Gays are human beings. Gays are our equals. However, gays should not be given special rights.

I would never have said a word, but that assbandit Bobbinupanddownforcocks in Tennessee shouted out and I had to respond.

Deano, at least own up to your homophobia. You are liberal, but if you feel guilty, by all means appease others and don't let your self worth get in the way.

Huh? I don't have a phobia. I don't mind gays at all. "More pussy for us" is the way I look at it. I think you are confused,obviously, but liberals are on your side. You shouldn't be hating on me, but should be hating on Tito. He hates Mexicans and fags.

Hey, I haven't been stupid for a few months. The last time was when I got on Bret Michaels' tour bus, and me & my 2 friends decided we needed a kiss.

Bret has very soft lips...

Don't let Dan fool ya, either. He woulda liked to have been there, too...



Dunno why I look like Casper in that pic, but I was sooo wasted!

Man, Deano, that was totally shitty right there. I just got done PMing Bobby asking him to rethink any future rebuttals because your "I got nothing against the gays" post sounded pretty cool to me & for a nano-second I got to thinking maybe all the shit I'd heard about you was just that: shit talk.

And now you go & do this.

I guess we've gotta do something about that then...

[artist4perry]

Looks like you had a great time! I sometimes wonder why,( and no, you did not make me feel this way at all!) some people are put off when you say you don't drink. I have had people get mad at me. I don't get mad when they say they do. So I don't get the deal. I have always had fun, but never wanted to drink. For religous purposes, and personal. I get pissed off only when I am treated like a social leper for not drinking. Not everyone does. Should put this on the BSlappin thread.................LOL!

Anyway, seems you had a great night.........I am not a fan of Bret, but I know if it was Journey I would be excited to meet them.

[The_Noble_Cause]

A woman in Arizona named Janet Contreras writes an open letter to our nation's leadership...

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why -- what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We, the people, are coming.

This is the letter Glenn Beck has been relentlessly pimping on his radio and TV shows all week, going so far as to say the author will be the new Thomas Paine of our generation. LOL.
Beck has also encouraged all of his viewers to indiscriminately spread it around the web, which accounts for how it found its way here.
As far as I can tell, it’s just another generic Republican spam mail, filled with the usual assortment of innuendos, generalizations, and half-truths.
The most conspicuous giveaway is the reference to ACORN, the GOP strawman of the week.
I assure you, no real "registered Democrat all my life" or political nonpartisan, gives two shits about ACORN.
Speaking of Soros-funded master conspiracies, the head of GOP voter registration in California just pleaded guilty to registration fraud.
Uh-oh.
In the interest of fairness and balance, I’m sure O’Reilly and Beck’s ace reporting teams will be all over this at once!
Right, and I'm hung like Andrew McNeice.

Can't be as bad as that crap Liam mixed me in South Bend. We ran out of stuff to drink, so he mixed me OJ, diet pepsi, and Bacardi.

He had to be too trashed to know what he was doing. It tasted like vomit. I can't believe I was dumb enuf to try it.
