Pittsburgh’s Folly in Politics JoeUser Forums

As many of you probably know, the economic G20 Summit is being held in Pittsburgh, PA, this time. I live about a hour west of there. I understand that the ‘Burgh was something of a second-string city; Chicago and New York, among other cities, turned it down. I can see why; this thing is clearly more trouble than it’s worth, despit

Sneezing/coughing into the crook of your arm? in Politics JoeUser Forums

With the new media furor over the Swine Flu pandemic beginning its first stirrings, Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services Czar (heh-heh), says that, if we must, we should sneeze or cough into the crooks of our arms. Eeew; now, I remember, when I was a kid, my mom used to yell at me for doing that; and for wiping snot on my sleeve, too, which isn't really all that much different, now is it? How about this: how about we all get radical, and start

I do; we're better people than they are. It's called hipocrisy. As to them marching in a circle, I once read where Gen. Stonewall Jackson cowed George McClellan into thinking his Confederate forces were larger than they were, by having them march in a circle, across the opening in a clearing. How pathetic these people are. They "only heard about a few days before"; it's been planned and announced for months. I'm sure media matters knew about it well ahead of time.</p

It was Saturday that I heard that. It's sweet that they've changed their position at least that much, anyway. Basmas; I apologize for never responding to your posts on the health care onmy other thread. I've been a little distracted these past few days. I keep meaning to drop in over there and address your points, but have not. They were not utterly ignored, I was just taken with Mumbles' sniping. Sorry; I will get over there and answer you.

Mumbles, y'knw; I'm sorry, but for all your hifalutin words and pseudo-intelligence, you really can be a purposely fatuous, obtuse jerk. Not EVERYONE came on a bus, dude! Geesh! And you're NOT quibbling? Each bus probably contained about 50 people +/-, though; that's somewhere around 250,000 people, right there. And as to the reference, granted, I got it second-hand. Someone I was standing with heard a cop say that to another cop, is all. So

[quote who="JillUser" reply="6" id="2371790"]Why the hell do people have nothing more to say than to quibble about how many people showed up?!

It included families from all over the country. No, better not talk about those things. [/quote]--Daiwa Mumbles also ignores the fact that I addressed that

I got one little detail there mixed up; I've since heard that there were around there were 5,000 buses; the 450 was the number of independent Tea Parties being held across the country that same day. Yes, it was a great day; one of the best such experiences of my life. I was part of history in the making. One DC cop was quoted as saying that they see demonstrations and protest rallies every day, but never anything like this. This was a record; they were told to expect arou

God Bless America, folks....God Bless America. September 12th, 2009; Washington, DC. What a wonderful day. Our bus left Wheeling, WV at 4:20 AM, and arrived in DC around 10:30, I believe it was. So many patriots were there, already. Our group had a large WV state flag, carried to more easily facilitate our sticking together in the crowd, and we moved down the street to chants of "Let's go, Mountaineers!" which had a dual meaning; WVU, after all, was playing t

[quote]Offering $10 generics for $4 is hardly a big deal. It’s no different than drugstores offering a gallon of milk for $2 instead of $3 at the grocery store.

So then, Mumbles; you're perfectly okay with simply handing your personal medical care over to the Great, Blind Bureaucracy? A system that will, ultimately, give more more import to saving the life of a 25-year-old, than to a 75-year-old. That's all well and good, until you're the 75-year-old. And here I was, giving you so much more credit than that. Silly me, huh? Geesh.
