Medicare, Veterans healthcare, your police dept, fire dept..etc are socialistic in nature.<br /><br />Your petty attack against Senator Kennedy was devoid of anything intelligent, it was merely a personal attack on him as a person, not his ideals. <br /><br />Now run along and watch your pal Beck ok? ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-38328575295701292592009-08-31T16:11:46.521-05:002009-08-31T16:11:46.521-05:00David...

But who wants silly facts to get in the way of a good rant.<br /><br />Mind you, to be honest, rich, fat, socialists like Kennedy do tend to cause uncharitable thoughts to enter my head and to "tell truth and shame the devil" sometimes I write them down.

We are not saints, we are human, fallible w/ big fat flaws and all. Kennedy did some awful things, but he didn't let it be the end of him.<br /><br />We can remember the good and be grateful for it while still not forgetting the flaws of people who try.<br /><br />Thank you, as always.Ouyangdanhttp://randombabble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-50920901796123863682009-08-30T15:01:27.369-05:002009-08-30T15:01:27.369-05:00There is no age for ignorance in this world but it...There is no age for ignorance in this world but it is a sad thing to see, as they hide behind the anonymous....as unwilling to even stand up & acknowledge their hate, even to themselves. <br /><br />The idea that there are many more of us that enjoy your thought provoking pieces speaks highly of u and should always count on a much higher plane than the ugly!

Of course I understand that the health care insurance companies want a status quo, since they gain from it. <br /><br />But the average american? I just cannot understand why ordinary people want to keep a system that lets billions of dollars seep into corporations when they could be used on improvements on the actual health care? <br /><br />Of course I am biased, but really. You should all move to Sweden, methinks. :) Of course, taxes are higher, but we understand the meaning of caring and solidarity.Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-78784910775547902772009-08-29T23:06:52.270-05:002009-08-29T23:06:52.270-05:00nigger dienigger dieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-85533753053201980132009-08-29T17:01:47.873-05:002009-08-29T17:01:47.873-05:00Shark-fu, I've been lurking around your blog f...Shark-fu, I've been lurking around your blog for quite some time - first because I LOVED the name and then because you are so logical, caring, and such a bitch!!<br /><br />A few words about the Kennedys: Papa Joe Kennedy was a scoundrel, Mama Rose was (in the public eye) a pushover; but they imbued their children and grandchildren with the notion that their goal in life was to do for others, not to be part of the idle rich and focus on hemselves only. While we all remember the martyred brothers John and Bobby, fewer of us remember that Joe Jr and Kathleen entered WWII before the US did. We remember Eunice as starting something bigger than herself and know the grandkids for a variety of things (Kathleen as lt. gov of maryland, Joe for his activism, Maria for her public persona as well as being 1st lady of CA, etc., etc.)<br /><br />But Ted transcended all - he lived long enough to make our lives better with his legislation and caring, to be the de facto father for all those fatherless nieces and nephews, and to pass the torch to a new generation when he endorsed Obama for President.<br /><br />We are the better for his being in our lives and we will find, as the fights in the Senate rev up on a number of issues, that we are going to miss him desperately.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174820552109056426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-61942108969650360412009-08-28T21:19:00.968-05:002009-08-28T21:19:00.968-05:00Condolences from a neighbour to the north.
