I say no more health care for anyone. It’s only delaying the rapture.

I use the word retard all the time in casual conversation with friends. It was highly unprofessional of Dan Quarto to use it. Powerful leaders should not use slang ever. And I disagree that if Quarto was a democrat this wouldn’t be a big deal. If a dem said retard the churches would organize and the conservatives would be out in force, marching with assault rifles with their little retarded children on leashes, holding signs with nazi symbols and chanting “Drill baby drill!”

Comment on So if we dress like hippies, stop using deodorant and avoid bathing, you’ll pay attention? by brooklyn

If I was going to a protest I’d be in a wedding dress holding up a sign. Like the broadcast media is going to pan away from you? Whatever if you want to make a statement and be heard you need to look like no one else. If your in a suit and tie youre going to say inteligent things on the news. MEDIA Loves morons – look at all the people who were on tv for the Katrina crap. Not one brain among them. You look smart you’re not good tv. You look like a story you Make One!

Well if an African American uses the N word, they own it. You my dear are not mentally retarded and have no connection to the slur retard. I’m sure you realize that the way you used the word is a slur. What it does is dehumanize people with special needs. I might have agreed with you before I had a child with special needs. Once you have a kid who is different, who is mocked, who is treated like life not worthy of living, then you tend to understand the argument a little better. Your safety gear comment is slightly on the mocking side, right?
I’m a Democrat (or at least that’s how I’ve voted recently) and I don’t think it’s about political parties. It’s just about a group of parents who are trying to get a little dignity for their kids. And let’s face it, there are tons of Republicans who stand up for the right of the unborn, until they are born and do nothing to protect them from abuse and neglect.
It’s important to remember that mental retardation doesn’t only begin at birth. Sometimes soldiers come home from war with brain injury. Sometimes you just get in a accident and end up sitting in a chair having an aide wipe the drool from your chin and calling you a retard. There isn’t a damn thing anyone can do about it. I’m sure if you asked any of them they would prefer not to be called a retard. I’d like to think that getting rid of a word that causes so much hurt isn’t such a bad thing.
Thanks for hearing me out.

Comment on Flagged as ‘Fishy!’ by the White House by Anne Lieberman

While I appreciate the chutzpah, people should not ignore the gravity of the situation. The White House is not just another left wing website. Obama spokesman Mister Gibbs has said that “nobody is collecting names,” but he also made clear that the WH is “required by law” to keep all correspondence. http://tiny.cc/cwS2j What a convenient law if you happen to be collecting names and don’t really have to tell anyone that you are doing so.

People should read Byron York: “Obama’s dissident database could be secret — and permanent” at The Washington Examiner. http://tiny.cc/grVPX

When Hitler first started his takeover of Germany, people didn’t take him seriously. They thought he was a joke. Even today, a lot of folks make fun of Ahmadinejad, but he won’t be so amusing when he has a nuke.

I’m not trying to tell anyone how to respond to the situation, but rather trying to warn people not to take it as joke because in the long run it’s not funny At All.

it’s so scary that the Democrats actually believe single payer health care is a GOOD thing along with all the other crap they are shoving down our throats. Scary to live in the USA these days. What will it be like in 3 1/2 years?? I shudder to think of the soup lines and cheese lines…
