The insurance industry is almost too powerful to whip, and that should scare every one of us. Big oil is even scarier, but I digress, as always!Bob Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304578964430843481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940175.post-87590187577105357622009-09-08T16:18:46.532-04:002009-09-08T16:18:46.532-04:00You know what kills me the most about the religiou...You know what kills me the most about the religious right? If they would read their Bibles they'd learn that God's kingdom is a socialist dictatorship! When did God become a capitalistic American??? That's not scriptural. I'm a Christian and I LOVE our President! I cheered when he won the election. I pray for him. <br />I long to live in a place where all people are equal and love and grace abound! <br />PS - I want a govt option in health care too!Bill C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940175.post-57855073267504925352009-09-08T15:34:44.056-04:002009-09-08T15:34:44.056-04:00So, tell us, Suzy, how do you REALLY feel?

All I can say is there is a reason someone came up with the bumper sticker that says, "Dear God, save me from your people"!Bob Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304578964430843481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940175.post-47640799718424857152009-09-08T12:47:03.100-04:002009-09-08T12:47:03.100-04:00There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Obama’s spee...There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Obama’s speech!! I guarantee, if such words had originated with Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers, or Art Linkletter, that speech would be shouted from the rooftops every day, all day long … and I’m sure that these 3 individuals / personifications would AGREE WITH President Obama’s words to school children today!<br /><br />Not only is racism ‘alive and well’ (major ugh!) in the U.S. today; but the ultra-conservative, far-right, so-called “moral majority” (moral??!! I won’t even begin to go there today!) seems to be the incessant fuel for the racism fire.<br /><br />I was listening to local TV and radio news this a.m., then surfing online headlines here at work … seems that the far-right population (religious or not) worships an ultra-conservative named James Dobson, much the same way that catholics worship the pope … in their minds, what this guy says, goes. Ugh.<br />All sorts of “anti-Obama” venom on Dobson’s websites and in his writings, and from his “loyal followers” … and yet he’s supposedly a proponent of family, children, schools, etc … and yet his network of websites are actually supporting parents in their decisions to keep their kids home from school today because of the President’s speech to school children??? Huh??? What kind of double-standard is that? What kind of mixed message does that send? But oh wait, the vast majority of our population can’t and won’t think for themselves anyway … they’re just going to follow their assumed leader, whoever that person may be!! Grrrr …<br /><br />And I have no farther to look and listen than the ‘four walls of my workplace’ to witness a similar double-standard in parenting mentality. There are the parents who allowed their 11 and 12 year old daughters to go to a “Hannah Montana” concert by themselves … and kept them home from school today … apparently an arena of 12,000 strangers is much safer than hearing the President speak in school. And the parents who allowed their 10-year-old to stay home by himself all summer while they were at work and school was out … and they kept him home from school today … apparently staying by home by yourself at the age of 10 for 2+ months is much safer than hearing the President speak in school. And the parents whose church’s youth pastor is a ‘former’ (really???) pedophile and is on the sex offender registry … and they pulled their kids out of school today … apparently their vacation bible school and youth group activities are much safer than hearing the President speak in school. OMG.<br /><br />SuzySuzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940175.post-43665872052222403602009-09-08T07:05:45.871-04:002009-09-08T07:05:45.871-04:00AMEN!!!!
