Louisiana Oil Spill, Day 34: Anger Mounts as Cleanup Lags {Politics Daily}

May 25th 2010 11:37AM Tjintol, avoid the issue that is the first rule in liberal's playbook. Look for anybody to stick it to so that you avoid any truths others than those you hold dear. Jindal is right to demand the Fed's who were charged with the oversight of these wells (who failed that too by the way) to provide for protection of the state's border.

May 25th 2010 11:33AM Sammie, do you always get your cake and eat it too? The Fed is charged with protecting state borders. The coastline of the Gulf of Mexico qualifies as a border. You need to make more notes of important information, you seem to forget.

May 25th 2010 11:26AM Confused? Not enough coffee this morning? Tea Party members are for smaller, fiscally responsible government with the individuals rights upheld. Write that down so you can remember it.

States - take back your rights from the Federal Government - enough said.

Obama Calls Arizona Immigration Bill 'Misguided,' Presses Congress for Reform {Politics Daily}

Apr 23rd 2010 7:36PM Our federal government gives lip service to this as they do to most everything else. While wall street Rome was burning down his employees were accessing PORN on duty with taxpayer paid computers and internet. But that's ok for Obama because he was probably watching with them. But a state overrun with illegals who are committing crimes (yes they are just by being there it is a crime because they did not enter through an approved port of entry)and attempting to protect the legal, valid citizens of this great country - they are degraded by our nincompoop leader. Our laws are no longer applied to anyone the liberals want to protect. Send them back to Mexico, they can come thru legally and get a green card and compete on the payroll just like the rest of us. Not under the table.

Democrats' Momentum Building for Sunday Health Vote {Politics Daily}

Mar 19th 2010 12:08PM A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting
statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health
Organization.



Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after
diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%



Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment
within six months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%



Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within
six
months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%



Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one
month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%



Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71

England 14

Canada 18



Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in
"excellent health":

U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%



This is a fairly direct comparison between our current Health Care
system
and the Universal Health Care systems of England and Canada.



SOME ADDITIONAL AND VERY INTERESTING STATISTICS !!

The percentage of each past president's "cabinet members" who worked in
the
private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. A
private business sector defined as... a profit making business, not a
government job.



Here are the percentages:

Taft..................... 40%

Wilson ................. 52%

Harding.................49%

Coolidge.............. 48%

Hoover................. 42%

F. Roosevelt......... 50%

Truman................. 50%

Eisenhower........... 57%

Kennedy.............. 30%

Johnson................ 47%

Nixon.................... 53%

Ford..................... 42%

Carter................... 32%

Reagan................. 56%

GH Bush.............. 51%

Clinton ................. 39%

GW Bush............. 55%

Obama.................... 8%



The least by far of the last 18 presidents!! And these people are
trying to
tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's
best
for
GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me? How can the president
of a
major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic
system
in world history... stand and talk about business when he's never
worked
for
one?.. or about jobs when he has never really had one??!



And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers..!
They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or
non-profit
jobs....or as "community organizers", when they should have been in an
employment line.

Mar 19th 2010 12:07PM Aol has disabled comments on a lot of the health care bill news pieces stating they have heard our comments to change the comment process so they have disabled comment feature. It seems that I am commenting here and so are other members. Again who is lying?

Money College: One student's losing battle with private student loans {WalletPop}

Feb 26th 2010 4:27PM You still all miss the point. The bad apple in this story is education itself. The educators just want to make it so that they have a steady stream of suckers - oh excuse me that was supposed to be students. They don't care if the student is wasting their time or taxpayers time (if it is a state college). They just want the tuition so they can continue to grow their own staffing and goody baskets. My parents were educated by teachers who did not have college degrees; and they are educated. You try to take the 8th grade test from the 30's? Most people can't pass. Yet our grandparents and parents did just fine. Our k-12 educators blow off handwriting as not necessary because "they will be using a computer with a word processor". Correct grammar and punctuation don't need to teach that either.Math - they get to use a calculator. They don't understand the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. It is you put one number in first hit the sign put in the other and press equal. Out pops the answer. We dumb our kids down instead of challenge them because them being smart is too much of a challenge for the current teachers. This girl was never educated to understand what consequences her actions might bring. Math would have explained a lot. It is no different than all the credit card debt out there that people can not repay. Were they stupid or uneducated? I am going to go with uneducated. Literacy is dropping like a stone in this country. High performing schools where less than 35% of the 8th graders understand the science and 46% the math. They can write though at 96% but can't read on grade level or close to grade level. The educators tell you that this is acceptable - the two don't really go together!>>>???? HOnest ask the question.. And what is the goal of every high school counselor and the goal of every curriculum in the country? College preparation. Can't exist without that further education. Obama remember wants cradle to grave education because you aren't a human being without it. I feel sorry for these kids. They were sold one of the biggest propaganda lies, go to college or you can't earn a living. Now they can be in debt and without a living and they were clueless because those that should have advised and counseled didn't.

World's 'Second Pregnant Man' Expects Baby Boy Soon {ParentDish}

Feb 11th 2010 3:14PM Only in America folks! Two women decide to be men,and declare themselves men, and one of em has a baby. So then it's headlined
as a man having a baby- because she wishes she was a man!
But she's not a man, so the article is basically a hoax and the reporter is an idiot.Who wishes he or she was a smart person!
Let's go back to basics- if you have(or had) a uterus, you are female.
If you have(or had) a penis, you're male.
What we have here is two freaks who have the audacity of putting innocent kids into their mixed up world.
This is nothing more than Naional Enquirer fodder!
