No, I didn't know or...Doug, you are a surprise. No, I didn't know or would have guessed you were an ex republican. I thought your post was well read and informed. I read the frum piece with some happiness. I feel more proud of America now than I have for the last 15 or more years. The MORON was a disgrace to this country and Clinton rode in on the wave of the dot com/technology boom while economically, the country was in really good shape. I too feel happy to pay a bit more in taxes so that my fellow man or woman in this country can go see a doctor if they are sick. It's society's job as to how to handle a more open health care system. Some people will abuse it as happens with any kind of socialized program but most will respect it for what it is. The worker doesn't want to be out of work but is happy for some assistance when it's needed but ultimately, that person WANTS to go back to work. And again, pays into UI, etc. <br /><br />I'm pissed too, Doug. I agreed with your sentiment about kicking some ass, but it also goes against my philosophy about and eye for an eye or fight fire with fire. I don't need to lower myself to some tea party asshole's standards. But I do think it's time for democrats to get loud, make sure they vote, make sure they understand the issues and band together again. We've been pussies for too long sitting idly by while the MORON panders to the rich, goes to a war we didn't need and send the country into a trillion dollar deficit before O even took office. It's disgusting and I'm pissed. We have a neighbor with their McKenna sign out now and their american flag hung upside down. I swear if I see this guy, I'm gonna have some verbal exchange with him.<br /><br />Yea, you know, I'm a Canadian. And Canada will always be my home and native land. I don't get why Americans think Canada is some socialist nation. No, we have socialized health care and yes, it's expensive tax wise, but worth it. The rest of the country is built on exactly the same ideals as the US. It's every person's opportunity to make the best of a free and fair society, everyone is free to go after their dreams, whether that's becoming a millionaire business tycoon, to a postal worker, whatever the fuck you want, you can have if you have the desire to go after it. <br /><br />Thanks for speaking loudly. And with passion about this. I will be declaring myself a US citizen all these years later before this next presidential election just to ensure I get my fair chance to vote. And believe me, I will. I don't gain anything becoming a citizen of the US except for my right to vote. I've paid into social security all the years I've lived here. I've never shirked on my taxes and always treated my great adopted country with respect, and I love this country, I'm as American as you, my friend. <br /><br />But I'm angry now, angry at those fucking tea partiers, angry with the Glen Becks and Anne Coultier's, and Rush that fucking blowhard doing no good at all for America and I'm really mad about that Palin bitch and her vile hate spewing bullshit. She's an idiot. Everyone except for someone with an IQ less than 50 knows that. Can you imagine her gaining any office of power in the US? It'd be total mayhem, the country would fracture. <br /><br />Thanks again, dude. Well said. I'm with you 100%Blastercaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464672231605480742noreply@blogger.com
