    I've lost my job before. More than a couple times. And always found another job with benefits within a couple weeks. But that will change once the employer mandate kicks in.

    No. And I don't believe Obamacare will be around when I will need heathcare. I was a nurse for 35 years they always need nurses.

    Imagine that. Someone else who believes having sex with the interns, while it may be fun, is inappropriate. And messing up her blue dress? Darn the bad luck.

    Two for two so far.
    Uh-oh.
    We cannot know this early if our investments in Iraq (of blood and treasure) will pay off or even break even. Unfortunately the Messiah, or as you put it below, the black man, pulled out too early ( I wish someone had suggested that to the black man's father). He may have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. We will not know for a while.

    Which rich men do you believe lined their pockets with oil money?

    I love these stories of repentant white men. Doesn't everybody?

    Alzheimers maybe? Don't you find it odd that someone who has life experience would suddenly become a radical, far left whacko? Check for concussions.

    The Establishment Republican party has not changed. Constitutional Conservatives have had to fight them for several generations. But from your goofy description your father would be right at home amongst the establishment Republicans. Call me crazy but I believe this is a "tall" tale.

    Listening to Rush is *very* dangerous for a thoroughly indoctrinated liberal. Your head might explode. But for one in as deep as you appear to be I recommend listening for at least six months. It will be like a detox (or an intervention) for your mind.

    I believe in giving credit where it is due. If Mickey gave the order and took the responsibility then he would get the credit. Just like Ronald Reagan gets the credit for making a backroom deal with Iran for them to continue to hold Americans hostage until he was sworn in as President in order to make Carter lose the election. Reagan also gets the credit for training Osama bin Laden and selling WMDs to Saddam.

    LOL. The only thing you left out is that your father has started to cross dress.

    Now I am disappointed. Didn't you tell me you were a realist?

    Boehner and McConnel are leaders? Wow. They have the title but they lack the balls. They are bullies and bureaucrats.

Fast and furious Bengasi Irs And on and on and on all Obama...LIES...

    It is *very* dangerous for liberals to do it. Heads explode. Or, if one has average (or above) intelligence, one becomes a conservative. It is completely okay to be a closet conservative for a while. Eventually you will come out of the closet.

    If not having your head exploded by an overdose of reality is not a bad way to go.

    Yes, you got it in one try. Perfectly assessed and perfectly stated. In other words, our nation is doomed. It's now just a matter of when, not if, the figurative medical examiner officially declares the nation dead. Call me a cynic, but there you have it.

    Interesting. Can you define bright for me. I am an engineer. I like Rush and Levin and occasionally Hannity. Am I below your threshhold?

    And speaking of "not too bright" just look at your signature line.

    "EVERYBODY call in sick tomorrow, then watch real change begin. Hit the corporate fat cats directly in the pocketbook."

    Only an imbecile would call for hurting his employer. Or are you just a taker?

    I really doubt this came from MI. When I served we were all about enemy, weather, and terrain. This looks more like one of the other members of the intelligence community. I would tell you which I believe it to be but then I would have to kill you. You are not cleared for this level of insanity.

    ok, I guess what you think is gospel. Good for you. Now see if anyone else can agree with you.
    I don't know what an indoctrinated liberal is. Is that someone who doesn't listen to rush?

    Godspell?

    [video=youtube;P3PjfBQjJT8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3PjfBQjJT8[/video]

    I loved that song. Oh, not Godspell. Gospel. Isn't that the Good News? What I think tends to be good news. So yes.

    A thoroughly indoctrinated liberal is someone who has gone to a liberal public school then went on to get a junk degree at a liberal college. Or just about anyone who believes that government is the answer no matter the question.

    I answered that one earlier.

    Incidentally the reason conservatives like the right wing noise machine so much is that they are insecure and need constant reassurance that their delusions are accurate. Even if they have to get that reassurance from lying sociopaths.

    Hmmm . . . it looks like that statement could do with a little tweaking in order to bring it into alignment with reality. Here you go, try this:

    "Incidentally the reason liberals like the left wing noise machine so much is that they are insecure and need constant reassurance that their delusions are accurate. Even if they have to get that reassurance from lying sociopaths."

    There! Fixed it for you. No charge.

    "Leaders" may not have been the best characterization. However inadequate, they are democratically elected and not media entertainers. Not entertaining at all, actually.

    Bright...like, do you believe the BS he spews daily, or is it merely entertainment for you?

    The only way to effect positive change is to get the corporate employer's attention, and have them pay attention to the conditions the working slob is subjected to, and addressing their concerns in a civil, meaningful manner. That doesn't normally happen when you're dealing with corporate conglomerates, as they're a machine looking for more and more profit from wherever they can extract it. It's like a slave/master relationship much of the time, and the only way to catch their attention is to hit them in their wallets. Everybody not show up for work at one time and tell them why and, guess what happens? Suddenly, they'll find the time to consider what you have to say, and if the issue is pay/hours or unjust work conditions, that they ignore normally. This is the history I have experienced with corporate monopolies over the course of my lifetime. They only listen when their pocketbooks are threatened.
