I have never used that quote on PetTalk before. If you have something on your conscious - please do not put it off on me.
I do not make assumptions about the "hidden meaning" of your posts. I would appreciate the same courtesy.

I also find it interesting that at the town hall meeting w/Lee, the audience was relatively quiet and respectful while the woman was asking her question. Lee chose to ignore her. Perhaps people feel that they need to shout to be heard. I'm not condoning it but I do understand it.
Talking about birth certificates and waving yours around in a baggie does not seem to me to be...well... constructive! The woman in the clip was called upon by the speaker. It was after that she became... it appears crazed.
My conscience is clear, has been for a quite some time. Now I know what you are going to say, but I know that you have said that before, more than once. Funny I can't find it now. Oh well....Quote:

I daresay that it's because I care about others that I don't like this particular HCR bill or, as it's now apparently called, the insurance reform bill. I need not agree w/the bill or w/any one person in particular nor am I required to take someone's litmus test in order to be deemed compassionate.
ANOTHER example of Barack Obama, being just another politician.
From the... Huffington Post of all places...

A memo obtained by the Huffington Post confirms that the White House and the pharmaceutical lobby secretly agreed to precisely the sort of wide-ranging deal that both parties have been denying over the past week.
The memo, which according to a knowledgeable health care lobbyist was prepared by a person directly involved in the negotiations, lists exactly what the White House gave up, and what it got in return.
It says the White House agreed to oppose any congressional efforts to use the government's leverage to bargain for lower drug prices or import drugs from Canada -- and also agreed not to pursue Medicare rebates or shift some drugs from Medicare Part B to Medicare Part D, which would cost Big Pharma billions in reduced reimbursements......

There you go again -- telling me what I have written. You can't find it because...I never wrote it before. Are you calling me a liar? In any event it is a bibical quote - not usually considered offensive or needing clarification.Quote:

Where does that say anything about "people like you" an offensive phrase I would not use anyway? Where does it say anything about "you people" who oppose universal healthcare?Quote:
Isn't it so sad, CM? "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.
If you think it is about you...that is not my problem.
It means exactly what it says.

Thanks for the typical non-answer. If it "means what it says", then I guess I am right. Cool.

Let me make this clear. I don't take orders. I made a statement. You decide it is about you. For no discernible reason. Everything is not about you. And expect me to clarify my statement.
Right. Get a dictionary if you must, but stop expecting me to help you understand such a simple statement. Geez
Sara, now you've got the poor boy stuttering.:) Backpedaling is very
difficult for the slow witted.
Really! I make a statement. He "edits" it to be about him (isn't everything:rolleyes:) and "assumes" it to say something I didn't and then demands I "defend" my statement.
Here is something I have stated before. What arrogance. What hubris.
Not a lot of traffic on the high road today.
Isn't that the truth! <<head shake>>Quote:

I've talked to some sorry people before.... But, you have taken it to a new level. Congrats!
Liz... Who was back tracking again? There was only one person in this thread who refused to answer a simple question. Only one who resorted to (as usual) denegrating the person who brought the question. Just like the President....
As plastic as a GI JOE toy...

Like I said in my last post... Your lack of a clarification seems to justify my translation of the sentence in the context used. And thus, you, as usual, are denegrating any person who does not "think" like you do.
I say again.... Who do you think you are fooling with your bullcrap?
She doesnt see it as BS, she actually believes it. She isnt trying to fool anybody. Dick Morris spelled out this type of thinking in "Bias".Quote:

I asked you nicely Puck.
I have no choice but to assume your posts imply you have deep shame and guilt.
That is my translation of your words.
I hope you are able to find some relief from the pain your guilt causes you...other than lashing out at other people.
One can only hope....Quote:

Again, guilt has nothing to do with this. See, I know you are clever enough to never really answer a straight question. You are a master at deception and double speak. All you EVER do is try to turn a person's words against them. A little straight up honesty from you would be refreshing. Or are you ashamed of how you feel? What other REAL reason would there be for you to so frequently dodge easy to answer questions?
So, i'll ask again. This time i'll phrase it for you so it is a simple yes or no answer....
When you said...
...were you implying that anybody who is NOT in support of THE CURRENT HCR bill(s) uncompassionate to the issues at hand?Quote:
Isn't it so sad, CM? "As you are to the least of my people, so shall you be unto me" apparently is not part of the credo of many in this country.
Yes or No?

Kenneth Bacon died today. He was 64, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and Pentagon spokesman during the Clinton presidency. He wrote an essay for the Washington Post back in July.
A Cancer Patient's Perspective
His obituary is here.
Looking at the difficulty he had getting treatments approved, I think we are all doomed without insurance reform.
I believe only #2 is addressed in the current HCR bill.Quote:

The emphasis is on NUMBER 1 - early prevention and screening!
Half of us could give a flying shiat about inflating tires, changing motor oil, changing the batteries on a fire/CM detectors.......
So what makes anyone think about taking a mammogram, blood, pap, prostate or ? test.
LOL, the ONLY way to make it work is to make HC screening MANDATORY.
A few thousands dollars of tests could prevent HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in treatment and surgeries....But, it will not happen until everyone is screened thoroughly.
sad, but true.

Why is the owner of GOOGLE so buddy buddy with the WH?
ANd why do they have people's email addys?

This assault rifle at presidential event makes me so very sad and so very sick and so very ashamed.
Are these men so desperate for attention or so small that they must take assault rifles with them??
Where are the people who were so concerned about Air Force One being flown over Manhattan...that was so frightening...and this isn't????

In both instances, the men carrying weapons were outside the venues where Obama was speaking.
And what was the point? To merely endanger the people who were there, but not the president? Does a weapon like that REALLY belong in a crowd of people?
I somehow expect if I walked around Columbine High School carrying a weapon like that - people would be appalled. Oh what I am I saying...maybe not.
