“Nowhere in the constitution does it say anything about the "right to hand over large wads of cash."”

Decipherer replied on Dec 06, 2009 at 09:56:28

“Right you are, friend! Well done.

The business of handing over "large wads of cash," while not addressed in the First Amendment is like so much else in our precious and very flexible Constitution left in the hands of the Congress, the Executive, and the Judiciary to regulate.

Lobbying Congress does not require money (your "handing over of large wads of cash"), OK, although the converse may be just the opposite.”

JustBNice replied on Dec 06, 2009 at 09:46:32

“Well said, thank you.

Some lobbyists just don't recall what it's like to be a lowly citizen. Making millions for themselves and their corporate leaders is more important than the welfare of the country.”

“Funny, too bad most don't know what the DSM is, but, maybe they'll googl* it. But, I agree with you completely. Next it will be in the ICD-9 big book, complete with CPT codes.”

“If I sincerely wish someone "Happy Holidays" and the holiday they are celebrating is Christmas then I am wishing them a Merry Christmas. If they want to be offended by that then I sincerely hope they have a lousy, miserable Christmas to go with thier lousy, miserable mindset.”

“I agree. But why all the fuss about public displays. No one has a problem with Halloween, or the 4th of July. Just Manger scenes and cross's.”

Clovie replied on Nov 18, 2009 at 18:57:23

“Exactly! Wouldn't it be worse (presumptuous) to assume they're Christian and wish them a Merry Christmas when they're Jewish, or vice versa? "Happy Holidays" is an expression of goodwill that rises above religion. I don't understand why people get so ridiculous about the Merry Christmas b.s.”

“Are terrorists soldiers or are they criminals? If they are criminals they should be tried in a U.S. court of law. Why would conservatives want to give them any taint of respectability by considering them anything other than the murderous thugs that they are?”

"SNL" Comes Down On Obama Administration For Caving On Public Option (VIDEO)

“There has probably been more more serious discussion on the true issues of health care reform on this post this morning than there has been in the halls of congress the past few weeks. I imagine the typical conversation there starts with the question, "How much money am I getting from the insurance companies?" And ends with the answer to that question.”

“You have a point. However, I think the word "tepid" or maybe even the word "timid" aptly applies to our president's push for a rhobust public option which is what is needed to loosen the stranglehold insurance companies have on our health delivery system. Single payer is what is needed to break the stranglehold.”

Indon replied on Nov 15, 2009 at 10:12:29

“Legally, the president can't do much more than talk about it.

Considering our congressmen are basically being bribed into refusing or resisting healthcare, what good would talking do?”

“This is almost enough to cause me to want to watch SNL again. Just as this health care "reform" is almost enough to cause me to not want to vote again. Just when did "the fierce urgency of now" turn into "the tepid interest in eventually"?”

UpstateNY replied on Nov 15, 2009 at 09:56:39

“It's easy to blame the President and the Administration - but in our country, the Congress makes the laws. And our Congress is filled with people that I am ashamed of - they work ONLY for the interests that pay them. They are either too lazy or too corrupt to read legislation and think how it would affect their constituents.”

“France has shown us what is possible. It would involve changing many things to get from here to there. Two changes are within the realm of possibility. We could adopt the Indana approach to medical malpractice with its compensation fund paid into by physicians and panel of physicians which oversees malpractice cases and which should be a model for the nation. The LEFT would fight this. If we were to nationalize the health care insurance companies, the Right would invoke the Slippery Slope Fallacy and say that Communism is not far behind. If we could get past the rhetoric of the Left and Right, we could get somewhere”

“Fact: In other parts of Africa there are people being exiled from their homes and sometimes burned alive after being "exposed" by Cristian witch finders.
Fact: There is video of Sarah Palin praying with one of these African witch finders and having her campaign for governor being blessed by him.
Conclusion: Anti-Islamist Christians should not be so smug and self righteous.”
