A minor correction, while people pay a premium for parts B and D, I know that in the case of part B the premium covers only about 25% of the cost, the rest is picked up by people who work for a living. I know it is a good deal because my state makes it’s retired state workers (who get free health insurance) buy part B and the state reimburses them for the full cost of the premium.
I believe I already support the Pro-life movement. I’m just not going to feed a dog that bites me.Hi, Mickey Finn,
Well ‘labor guy’ looks like you have some real choices to make. You see, it is the Dems who are pushing for abortion on demand, taxpayer funded abortions and gun control. If you think withholding votes from Republicans are going to further the interests of pro-life groups - and the lives of babies themselves - then there are probably not many people joinging you.
If you want to punish Republican lawmakers so that unions can continue to gouge taxpayers - well, prepare to be gouged. And, while you can grin and bear it - what about the other issues that you support? And, just to put it in perspective, for the Catholic Church being pro-life is not just one issue among others - it is the only issue that we can focus on right now. Secure the rights of the unborn first - who knows, some will grow up to be ‘labor guys’ too!
God bless
Some members asked me to share what I know about post riot Detroit, and white flight. What I know, is that it was Racism. Not the sort of thing you can sugar coat.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Boeing… The list goes on, and on.
But it is not what you “know”, it is what you believe. Whites had a goal to seal Detroit’s fate? Really? When did “whites” get to gether to come up with this goal? Do you have any documentation of this plan? Or are you sure that it was “whites”? Maybe “blacks” had a plan to run of “whites” so that they could have Detroit to themselves, but it just didn’t work out as well as they planned. How do you know it was only “whites”?
Listing states doesn’t tell us anything. Be specific.
Or Buffet Rule #3
BRAVO! This is exactly the reason Buffet’s claims are SO disingenuous. He’s gotten his pile of money using the very rules and laws that he now begrudges for others. Further when asked why he doesn’t just write a check to the Treasury instead of giving money to various foundations that support causes dear to him, he says well he thinks those foundations use the money more effectively than the federal government.
Another strawman set aflame! Like many on the Left you forget those essential details. For example the Left claims that Conservatives are against immigration or that they hate Hispanics. Ridiculous. What Conservatives object to are illegal immigrants who come here to utilize our resources whilst sending the money they earn back to their home country. That many in this category are from Mexico allows the Left to claim Conservatives hate Hispanics. Were the same number of illegals to come from Greece then we’d be hearing that Conservatives hate Greeks.
Well written LisaA.
It’s what I know. Granted, it doesn’t go along with the most recent outbreak of revisionism. But, it is the truth none the less. I’m not sure what someone from Houston knows about Detroit. But, if you around the web. I’m sure you can find some documentation of racism in 1960s Detroit. Matter of fact, look around *your *town. I’m sure you can come up with some instances of racism.
Well, like I said earlier. Whats the point of having a top 1%. Unless you can shear them from time to time.Hi, Mickey Finn,
Better find another policy ‘flag’ to wave - the so-called ‘Buffett Rule’ was defeated by the US Senate - with the aid of at least one Democratic crossing over to vote against it!
You know, there is nothing in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Federalist Papers or any Supreme Court decision that claims ‘fairness’ is what our country was built on, that ‘pay your fair share’ is the motto for moving the 13 Colonies into a real country or that Big Government is the Best Government or that Socialism is the philosophical principle that has made our country great. The ‘Buffett Rule’ was a failed policy before the Senate voted it down.
So, tell me, just what possible benefit do you see in the ‘Buffett Rule’?
God bless
I take it that, based on your response, you “know” this but can’t support your conspiracy theory with any type of documentation.
See Lisa I think your pretty far off the mark here.
I think you can do your own research.
Sorry but that kind of gross exaggeration doesn’t merit any sort of measured response. You are quite adept at ad hominem attacks along with construction of strawmen. As you say…ATBSee Lisa I think your pretty far off the mark here.
1.You start off with a false premise. What conservatives object to… They object to anything that doesn’t serve their own greed. Persuader is right. Think back to the recent budget crisis. Remember all of the freshman Senators, and Reps. Chanting shut it down, shut it down? These “Libertarians” Have subverted the Republican party. They would shut down the government to forward their twisted austerity measures. Their austerity is twisted, because it centers on privitization. Why? Because it helps to feed their greed. The top one percent have seen unprecedented expansion of their wealth. While the wages of workers, whos toil actually creates the wealth. Have either remained stagnant, or decreased. When Wall Street, ran the worlds economy into the ditch. Rather than learn, that unbridled greed and risk taking are bad. They immediately started in on diverting blame. People who are in fear of losing their very homes. Are easy to spoon feed a scape goat to. They reason that they have had pay cuts. They gave up their pensions for the promise of wealth through their 401Ks.
Public workers. They make too much money! They still have a pension! They get to take vacations! We are seeing the same in your “PIGS”. The EU (GERMANY?) was only willing to extend aid as long as the austerity measures they proscribed, were adopted. These center on privitization of public holdings and works
- Solyndra was unable to compete with equipment imported from asia. China to be specific.
- An estimated $290.89 billion were gifted in 2010. So, your not the only person giving to charities.
You don’t get much time to edit around here.
This should say.
