Hi Yell-- The Govt ... ( 1 year ago by usarmycaptainamerica)
Hi Yell-- The Govt doesnt give anyone ANYTHING that it hasnt already taken from someone else. The Govt doesnt create wealth, it redistributes it.
Global warming is a myth.
Libs support special rights for gays based on their sexual preference.
Libs want to create a society of dependency for the poor.
I hope you rethink your ideology. Be a thinker rather than just go on shallow emotion.
Global warming a ... ( 1 year ago by yellyman)
Global warming a myth??? Every leading expert on the face of the earth agrees that global warming is a serious problem. Even the Bush administration agrees with this. There is no point to debate that. When it comes to gay rights, i don`t base my support to my sexual preference since i`m 100% straight. What about medicare for the poor? Why do you want to prevent poor people medical treatment? That`s pretty sick if you ask me.
Yell--Not all ... ( 1 year ago by usarmycaptainamerica)
Yell--Not all leading scientists agree with global warming, and science is not concensus, it either is or isnt. When it comes to global warming its MONEY,POLITICS,AND CONTROL that fuel it, NOT SCIENCE.
Homosexuals enjoy the same civil liberties every other American does, what they want is SPECIAL rights to pander to their sexual desires.
Yell-- As far as ... ( 1 year ago by usarmycaptainamerica)
Yell-- As far as the poor and medical car are concerned you are speaking to a man who is in the medical field, and served in the Army as a Combat Medic.
Who said I want to deny ANYONE health care? What I do want is people to pay for their own care themselves as I DO. I am not rich, I work for a living. Just so you know, it is against FEDERAL LAW to DENY ANYONE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE.
What would your ... ( 1 year ago by usarmycaptainamerica)
What would your response be if I walked up to you and demanded $200 from you for a teeth cleaning, and xrays? Would you shell out the money? Would YOU DENY ME MEDICAL CARE?
Some people can`t ... ( 1 year ago by yellyman)
Some people can`t afford medicare. Therefore the govnerment has to provide this for them. This is what i`m talking about. Medicare is well spent tax money, instead of paying for a useless war in Iraq. This is a moral issue. There are 40 mill americans without any insurance, somebody has to provide health care for them. We have to reform the system. The govnerment should pay for peoples health care.
By the way, i work ... ( 1 year ago by yellyman)
By the way, i work for a living too, and i`m insured through my job. Every employee on my job is fully insured, even when he/she retires! But we have to care about the poor even if we`re well off.. As i said, this a moral issue.
As i said, i rest ... ( 1 year ago by yellyman)
As i said, i rest my case when it comes to global warming. Global warming is a real issue, and the U.S govnerment agrees with this. We need to reduce fossile fuels, and oil dependency. It`s shameful that America was the ONLY country that didn`t sign the Kyoto agreement.

102-- Did I ask you if you were gay? Rather than coming out of your closet why dont you give cleaning it up a shot.

I'm NOT gay and I know Republicans are closeted. We have had over 28 Republican sex scandals, most were gay sex and 5 were involved children of both sexes. Two were from Homeland Security and ALL were Republican.

She is so damn funny! What a strong woman. I just now discovered her.

Ann was not only funny, but one very smart cookie too. And a very, VERY fine storyteller too. When she died, we lost a grand Texas lady.
Ann, we miss you in a bodacious Texas way.
I also miss Halie Stillwell... Another unique Texas gal.

Governor Ann Richards restored the pride in all of us from Texas no matter where we all are in the world, she,unlike George W. Bush, is the"real"grand Texas woman in everything she did.I was in Europe when she had passed on and myself and a few other Texans I met in Europe,were in shock and wished we were in Austin to pay our respects to the "pride of Texas".
As a Texan I'm ... ( 7 months ago by Shaaaunda)
As a Texan I'm ashamed and disappointed I wasn't more familiar with her when she was still with us. She was fucking great.
