medical care, facilities, pharmaceuticals and physicians, are limited.

And decisions have to be made who gets these things and who doesnt, and whoever has money will be the reason one person has care and one doesnt.

They WANT to prove to you that there is limited resources any way they can so they can then say "sure we dont want those poor folks over there to die, but as you can see, they just have to"

hard should we work at keeping them alive considering the costs and limited resources.

I bet you this same person is anti abortion, so as far as I am concerned he had no business commenting at all.

Sister and BIL, go to a small Baptist church ("northern" Baptist) in centralish MI.

Oh brother...women can only wear long dresses (no pants or short things) to church/activities and must be subservient to their husbands.

Of course, they aren't supposed to drink either, even though my BIL drinks a 6 pack a day!

My sister does NOT bow down to my BIL.

Hypocrisy at it's best.

to be hated


to fuel the Breaking news theater,

Jeb Bush pitching out obvious made up stories to be refuted, to prove to be false or erroneous, to argue in false positives, to do what the Bush’s do best dangle uncertainty to the fault of anybody else, to get stage time.

Give it the old Ronald Reagan “ Here we go again”

Jeb is flinging out ugly stories other than war to avoid any reference to the ugly profiteering and corruption of the Iraq war, ground zero or its health problem along with veteran issues and nagging financials from his brothers administration.

Jeb Bush with media complicity is loading up the camera for day time and Sunday afternoon stage time to avoid the Bush family and Cheney family direct involvement engaged in treason in a failed war that was largely family profiteering, unbelievable torture, trading with the enemy, coupled with an incredible financial meltdown, incredible meta data identity theft which includes the Florida vote scandal, and Arab 911 evacuation of Bush’s close business partner for decades the Bin laden family.

These past years noticed an upswing in political hacking now referenced more as rogue computer hacking by the media. The media is training the public into confusion.

The media now making news noise to train the public that only computer hacking only exist and legislation hacking does not happen. But it does big time.

Legislation hacking is done so much all last century that much legislation needs to be reviewed to make sure there is no political family profiteering by long term Congress persons.

32. In casual discussions, I used the Iraq War Costs as a monetary standard. . .
Thu Aug 6, 2015, 05:44 AM
Aug 2015

in which one hour equaled $30 million, a day was $720 million, a week $5 billion, and a month $20 billion. I then inserted the terms whenever possible.

"Yes, I think the town should build a new library -- after all, it'll only cost $3 Iraq Hours."

"A new highway through that part of the county would be great and would only cost $1-1/2 Iraq Weeks to build."

"It's true, health care for all children in this state would be expensive, but we're only talking about $4 Iraq Months each year."

It brought the cost of the IraqAttaq in to sharper focus, and helped people conceptualize in easily understood terms the tremendous, needless drain that occupation exerted on all our lives. It was also a somewhat innocuous way to bring the Catastroph@#k into normal conversation (especially in the latter days, when so many former supporters were loathe to even consider the disaster's true impact on the world).

for a Republican to get elected in 2016. I would bet that within the first year we will be in another massive war. Republicans thinks this creates jobs and the better economy, but we seen how G. Bush war policies almost destroyed this nation.
The Republicans are so set on pleasing a few billionaires they will risk the lives of Americans and also the survival of America
