How sad are people like Michelle Malkin and Bill O'Relly? And, what's even more amazing, is that they have a platform like Fox News to speak such deliberate lies, propaganda, and character assassinations.

A further investigation also shows all four children are enrolled at this private school. Did you know this?

Do you realize somewhere in America tonight, some child is going to be happy having squirrel and taters for dinner tonight, compared to the in all probability vegetarian pizzas ordered in by the so "John Denveresque" family from Baltimore?

I want my money going to the real poor of America. They are out there.
Apparently the Democrat Party just can't find the "Real Poor". Or is it you just don't want to get near them.

Remember Winnifred and the Winnebago?

I work with many people who make a better than decent living and still cannot afford ANY healthcare in this country.

In fact, over 40 Million Americans (Your fellow Americans) also cannot afford proper healthcare.

I have Oxford Health ... which sucks your balls ... and it costs me almost $8,000 a year.

Call me when you have a solution for the healthcare problem in this country. We all know what great inroads the Republican Party and your President have made on that issue.

I would guess that you need someone to be down and bleeding to death before you consider them good enough for your support.

PS. I had taters for lunch. It's not what goes into a person that counts. It's the amount of hypocritical Bullshit that comes out.

oh and another thing:

we expect socialism when we deal with firefighters and cops~

BECAUSE IT'S LIFE OR DEATH!
HUMANITY BASED!

Why SHOULDN'T
HEALTH CARE
BE CONSIDERED WITH SUCH
COMMON PLACE COMPASSION?!!!!

A reminder to your "bodacious"commenter:

Socialism is not communism.

We all use highways. You may not drive but I'm willing to bet you entertain your lifestyle (perks) because of them. I'm sure, at the very least, you use cabs and subways. What if your imported client couldn't get to you? How, do you imagine, the City transports materials so as to insure your underground subway commute?
Without maintenance, aren't we left with entropy?
I wonder when and if you notice traffic flow (are you aware only when there is upkeep/repairs?) and do you really think everyone who works in the City lives there? No, of course you KNOW they don't. You KNOW your firefighters and cops could never afford to live in the City, right?! And sure, you hate cops and they're a hassle...until you need them!

Health education,
awareness
and care is vital
to a productive,
sustainable
progressive
society.

Some things aren't political or commercial at all.

Medical care and responsibility should be a social value. It's common sense.
We have public schools! They may suck, but we have them! We should have public health care! It might have to be basic but at least each individual (SOUL) would then have a chance (however stifled) to (at least aspire to) comprehend and seize his or her own livelihood at it's very core. Each individual would once again be a CITIZEN (!!!) not a CONSUMER!!!!! Each SOUL would be first and foremost granted the basic right to be human; to be granted a right to feel human!
With awareness, we are more apt to pursue a destiny determined (not dictated) by the scope of our own ambitions.
And then,
maybe (?!) we'd realize how
toxic and sad it is
to CLASSify and RATIONalize
our compassion and culpability
so righteously, so recklessly,
and ultimately, so indefensibly.

*******
ok. ack. wow. (sorry?!)
I went off!
tKO!!!
