As much as I don't really like the current political climate and all the name-calling, I think it's great that so many people are finally beginning to take an active role in what's going on in Washington. That's really nice to see.Billy Coffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988347213957444145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-58147094321225934522010-04-08T21:08:34.578-04:002010-04-08T21:08:34.578-04:00We have had Medicare and Social Security for gener...We have had Medicare and Social Security for generations. FDR made sure that "No da#* politician was going to mess with my Social Security!" It has made dependents of us all. Who is volunteering to take care of their elderly parents? Who will pay for open-heart surgery to save the life of your 85-year-old father, costing over half a million dollars? Who is ready to forgo an expensive cancer treatment and die? Tough questions all.Chris Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055213862546094730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-19574770591999759932010-04-08T18:26:10.210-04:002010-04-08T18:26:10.210-04:00Glenn Beck is an idiot-period.

Having been with out medical insurance for three years and working for an ex employer that was too cheap to offer it, I was estatic to get on medicare after paying for it for decades. The wife had pre existing conditions that shut the door on us getting private insurance.<br /><br />And yes Obama care is going to cut our medicare coverage. It already has happened and I am sure there will be more cuts in the future.<br /><br />Obama and Socialism has nothing to do with health coverage.<br /><br /> It is the fact there are going to be many cuts to the point you may be denied life saving care because of your age or some coverage will be cut causing severe financial hardship on persons that do have coverage.<br /><br /> All in all , the Obama health plan has too much red tape and too many government personnell in between you and your doctors deciding what care you will be allowed. <br /><br />Allowing funded abortions, illegal immigrants free health care at the expense of ones that paid into the system, and hiring on a labor force to manage this atrocity is certainly going to be not cost effective or productive. Just more government red tape and waste at the expense of the taxpayers.photogrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149737419546300220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-22350747324130167332010-04-07T20:21:06.971-04:002010-04-07T20:21:06.971-04:00Let us just say..."Thank you government run p...Let us just say..."Thank you government run public education for teaching us what to think and not how to think." :)<br /><br />I like Glenn Beck. He has great thoughts.<br /><br />I thank GOD that I'm going to be home schooling. I have so much to learn that I didn't catch the first time around because I was taught to pass a test. (Which I did brilliantly by the way.)We...are...dumb. Very, very, VERY few folks my age have a clue what is going on and as college graduates we are completely uneducated.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102164992606199675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478279106730902739.post-74407049835736479762010-04-07T18:50:35.499-04:002010-04-07T18:50:35.499-04:00Tony, you're so idealistic!

I had a sociology teacher that gave us current and relevant social problems and asked us to solve them - the Vietnam War, Watergate, the poor, the race struggles of the 60's, Woodstock, and more.<br /><br />Those teachers taught me to think, to solve, to question, to look for facts, state my sources and be prepared to be challenged.<br /><br />We are now raising a generation that cannot think, believes the news, and is polarized to ideological stances. Even independents seem to take one side or the other.<br /><br />I have written a couple of blogs where I have waded through a lot of junk to come up with solutions and answers on Fire and Grace.<br /><br />They Are Going to Tax the Rich<br /><br />Green, the Slippery Slope - Because Cap and Trade Won't Work<br /><br />One is decidedly left, while the other is decidedly right.<br /><br />Thank God for freedom of speech!Davidhttp://www.fireandgrace.comnoreply@blogger.com
