Margaret, I guess if you get enough morons congregating in one particular geographical area, eventually they will vote a fellow moron to represent them in Congress. Kind of like sleeping with your cousin – eventually your offspring are not going to be right in the head. But the idiot parade coming out of South Carolina seems to be getting longer and longer these days.
From where I sit Republican Congressman Joe Wilson’s heckling of the President puts him pretty far down on the moron food chain in South Carolina - well below Miss Teen Lauren Caitlin Upton, but only slightly above Governor Mark Sanford. Which isn’t saying much considering all of them are behind the Osprey, northern pike, perch, bleak, shrimp and plankton. For those of you in South Carolina that is just a fancy way of saying they aren’t worth a pile of shit in my book – except for that little Lauren Caitlin Upton. She couldn’t help herself the poor dear. Everyone knows you can’t be a carnivore and still fit in your pageant dress.
Folks, let me tell you something about healthcare and health insurance. There are a couple of ways to make a buck in the game. One way is to systematically deny coverage to anyone with a propensity to get sick as evidenced by past occurrences. The other way is to spread the risk over the largest population possible effectively minimizing the impact of the most risky. But there is one way for sure to lose a buck – keep increasing the number of people who can’t pay their bill. It’s really quite simple. A public option means insurance companies will report profits using language like “impressive” and “satisfactory” rather than “awesome” and ”a buttload of moolah!”
When exactly did we become so enamoured with health insurance companies that we are now so adamantly fighting for their rights to make a buck off our misfortunes? None of this makes any sense to me. The President wants to make a speech encouraging our children to stay in school and study hard and we compare that to Nazi Germany. Doctors talking to patients about feeding tubes and life support machines has become some secret plot to kill Grandma. Making sure a woman can get treatment for her breast cancer is unreasonable. I don’t know Margaret. What’s next? Governor Perry and Governor Sanford fight to see which state secedes from the Union first- Texas or South Carolina? If only…
Someone needs to remind Representative Wilson that he and his family currently have a public option for their health insurance. And while you’re reminding him of that, be sure he understands that the next time his doctor has a finger up his butt all of us taxpayers footed the bill. Come to think of it, maybe instead of paying the bill we can skip the finger and just introduce his ass to my foot. I mean it. Really.
PS. Did anyone else notice the look Nancy Pelosi gave to Joe Wilson when he acted out? Now there is a lady I would enjoy having over for coffee and pie.
Helen: I hope your husband continues his recovery.
I sympathize with having to listen to Fox all the time. I’m staying with my Dad for awhile and that’s his preferred channel; we compromise with the Weather Channel.
Having to listen to Fox all the time will drive you batty and drive up your blood pressure. You don’t need that.

happyconservative I am sure Jimmy Carter and many other presidents have read the bible. Some of the most evil people know the bible better than most who claim to be Christian. It is more important to see how the principles are put into use. Are they using it for good or evil. Look to the fruits of these people. You and I can read the same bible and still not get the same knowledge or wisdom. God imparts hidden wisdom to those who are true to Him. You should read 1st Corinthians chapter 2 starting with verse 6, for a better perspective on this. I don’t recall Jimmy Carter using the word of God to perpetrate war. Do you see any good fruit from either of the Bush presidencies? I’m not a big Carter fan, but I certainly see more good fruit in his life.

So what, Happy?
The Bible, the greatest fable ever told. Most “Christians” I have come in personal contact these days are the biggest haters I have ever encountered in my entire life. Let us remember that religion is man-made, as in male-made. (I was raised Catholic.)
You never even acknowledged the reality of rampant racism in today’s world, preferring to listen to Ed Rollins gloss over it.
And Craig, wow, how “librul” of you to date a Jewish girl (not sure why one would point this out??) in the 70′s, what the hell does this have to do with today’s world? Bon soir, both of you should go have fun on the FUX News site where you belong.

Oh Helen, this is such a great post! I did notice the look Nancy Pelosi gave Mr. Wilson…(wasn’t that the guy on Dennis the Menace?)
But, when Nancy spoke about how the careless language being thrown about, will be misunderstood and possibly acted on by someone less “bright” than the one spewing the idiocy, suddenly the Right started saying “Pelosi cries because of the critics.”
I couldn’t believe what I read…they just take everything and twist it to fit their perverted thinking…she was telling of the killing of the two politicians in San Francisco, and how she was one who found Harvy Milk’s body…and she was trying to tell the radicals to tone it down before something else just as evil happened…
These right-wingers ARE scary-Really!
They don’t SCARE me-they are scary!

Guess what, y’all, it ain’t just Atlanta!

I had visited Atlanta for my first and only time in August of 1973. I posted the following on another thread last night. I would hope Atlanta and or Georgia has moved beyond what I saw and experienced since then.
Speaking of…I once saw the X governor of Georgia…1973
Lester Maddox flanked by two state troopers in underground Atlanta signing pick handles
commemorating his defense of blacks who wanted to enter his restaurant.
That same day driving around downtown Atlanta,
appeared 3 NAZI’s on a street corner with Jack boots and the whole attire. I had my boss drive around the block so I could pick up their newspaper.
At the time I was dating a young Jewish lady.
The papers were completely full of cartoons and Socialist propaganda. And of course targeting blacks and Jews.
I guess what amazed me most is this was 1973 in downtown Atlanta. I was 22 and shocked that this was still in the open and going on in Atlanta much less..anywhere in the United States.

Happy, I live in a northern suburb of Atlanta GA and have heard President Obama being called the “N” word MANY times firsthand by Faux News watchers at one of our local pubs (who mostly did NOT VOTE). Nice theory, Ed Rollins, but racism truly does exist and sadly, is even rampant in some areas.

Oh Jimmy.
Keep yer dam mouth shut son.
The first and only President I voted for.
A graduate of the Naval Academy.
What a mistake.
Whatever he touched turned to crappola.
Interest rates up the wazoo.
A alchi brother he could not control as well as the lust in his heart.
Then he turned his backs on our people in Iran and mounted a half hearted rescue attempt.
Ross Perot got his people out..and I’m proud to say I worked for that man. EDS, An organization that made sure its people were taken care of.
And in 1980, I had the privilege to write the screenplay so as to keep the true accurate details of the escape a secret.
