whatwasIthinking.haloway13@xoxy.net — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:07:00 GMT

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesnâ€™t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life..
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
(Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.
If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

We may just need a no congressman left behind...

Ann Coulter 'Oct 7, 1009' at http://www.anncoulter.com/

"These Democrats are all over the map on where precisely Americans place in the life-expectancy rankings. We're 24th, according to Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Barbara Boxer; 42nd, according to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell; 35th, according to Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson; and 47th, according to Rep. Dennis Kucinich. So the U.S. may have less of a "life expectancy" problem than a "Democratic math competency" problem."

She goes on to explain how statistics is manipulated to show whatever you like and that a further deconstruction (comparing apples to apples) the U.S. is in great shape.

Here is a start...

"What I would like of environmental journalists like myself is that you treat Big Environment the same way as you treat Big Politics, and Big Government, and Big Business. Y'know, treat Big Environment the way you treat Big Business. Where does the money come? Who's channeling it? .... Where is the independent verification of those claims? But they don't. If an environmentalist organizer says something, it's accepted as gospel." -- Phelim McAleer

Plenty of reasons to not believe in AGW

Michael Hammer blog entry is rife with logic disputing anthropogenic global warming (AGW). A bit long, but full of gems.

Challenging another dog for his bone.

Sowell, nails it again. It is about envy. It is about taking. http://bit.ly/1RkcrM

Here is a clear case of obfuscation. When it is all said and done, illegals will have healthcare under the new plan. Yet another carrot for them to cross the border. http://bit.ly/OmeEJ

Bipartisan healthcare reform must include

whatwasIthinking.haloway13@xoxy.net — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:02:00 GMT

No coverage for illegals
Tort reform
Provide incentives for more doctors
Leave doctors out of end of life counseling
Tax credits for small business up to diff in costs with government option
Government should not dictate re-imbursement amounts, competition takes care of that
No federal funding of abortions
Equitable enforcement of insurance premiums for all
Break the provisions, go to prision

Do not be seduced by the promise of being able to fund it through premiums from the young, healthy and fraud/abuse/efficiencies gaine in medicare/medicaid. Medicare and Medicaid are wealth transfers, underfuned as it is and are still in serious need of help.

Schools should have this message on their phone...

George Weigels column sheds some light on faith and reason: http://bit.ly/1KvSXb

George Weigel distills the second part of Pope Benedictâ€™s Regensburg Lecture wonderfully

If the West loses its faith in the human capacity to know the truth of anything with certainty, it will have disarmed itself intellectually, culturally, and morally, unable to give an account of its commitments to civility, tolerance, the free society, and democratic self-government.
