If you live in a red state and are unable to afford health insurance or find the costs to be outrageous, you have no one to blame but your elected officials. It is a shame, but you can change it by voting the bums out in the next election. I am fortunate enough to live in a very blue state and have reaped the benefits of affordable healthcare. ...

The below link is to an article that has a map showing the temperature changes by state since 1970. This is not necessarily a political issue in itself, but our response to it is. I live in one of the states that is showing the most change. Due to my way of life, I have been very conscious of the weather changes in my lifetime. I first started noticing thunderstorms in January. We should only be having blizzards in January--it was kinda fun. Then we started having tornadoes in September an ...

After 8 years of Rendell and the dem-controlled state government, people in this state finally woke up. The house, senate and governor are all pub controlled. Hopefully, things will get done now. Rendell will be gone but hopefully, he won't take 'revenge' in these last days of his governorship and push things through that PA citizens were against from the get-go. I will be watching. Our new gov promised to cut spending by cutting down the fleet of cars used by the legislature. Th ...

While researching information regarding the earthquake in NZ on Google, I came across some interesting side articles about health care and welfare in Australia. (1) One million Aussies have had their health insurance premiums increase because the government wants to have more of a surplus. (2) The Australian social services minister says their current welfare system is unsustainable. Are these things the USA needs to worry about? ...

These guys truly are amazing! They really think they are doing good. Hope you don't have a preexhisting condition or you might have to move to be able to afford insurance. ...

"important" to the republicans are misinformed. The whole party is very afraid to make him mad. There have been several occasions in the past where an elected republican disagreed with him on an issue and then was pressured to go on his show and "apologize" As the defacto leader, he must be held to responsible for his words. If your husband or father heard him calling YOU the names he called Ms. Fluke, would he not have his teeth knocked out? As far as Limbaugh ...

This is a very interesting read. Yesterday, my governor stated unfunded and mandated HCR will break the budget of many states. This article was written in December, but the writer stated the same thing this morning. http://healthcarereform.nejm.org/?p=2628&query=home ...

I am horrified at all we are hearing about Jerry Sandusky and what he is accused of doing. It is hard to understand that not more was done. Have we gotten to the point in our nation that winning a football game is more important that a child?Did the parents know? I haven't heard anything about them. I will say that no amount of money would have kept my mouth shut if one of those boys had been my son. I'd of called every TV station, every radio station, all the newspapers, I would have ...

I absolutely hate remote controls. They wear out too quick! LOL I'll have to start watching. The transcript is up from her Sunday show. I found it interesting. I must warn you, though.

Dear Red States: We're ticked off at the way you've treated California, and we've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You g ...

Stockman and ...

Including those who once applied for Medicaid, did qualify, but were denied. Unfortunately, thanks to the Supreme Court decision, states don't have to extend Medicaid health insurance to fill the gap between those doing okay and the really poor, but the Obamacare does include some important presents for red state residents anyway. It's really bad to just assume, like those people on Hannity -- the free experts Obamacare provides are there to answer questions. This is important stuff. ...

Have never been to this church, know about it and the pastor is well known in America. I have read reports about their standing, singing with band, loud blaring music because the auditorium is huge for almost an hour and cameras all over the place filming people close up I guess for the TV crowd. I am so not into this. I was brought up wearing dresses to church, music was soft and that is how I would want if I went to church. I have mostly pants I wear all the time. I have said do not care to g ...

My state has spent over $300 million of state taxes and only 44 have signed up for AHC. It is not working in our state. We sure could have used $300 million to help the homeless or redo our severely crippled bridges, but noooooo, we had to spend it on ridiculous useless crap to get 44 people signed up and those people's deductibles are so high that they are still paying out of pocket for their care. ...

As usual, the Henny-Penny-sky-is-falling republicans are insisting that the economy is in the tank because of a weak GDP. Most economists have already recognized that the terrible winter we had is the cause. Last Friday the Dow and S&P 500 closed at new all-time highs and the Nasdaq hit a 14-year closing high. In my neck of the woods, there are billboards on the highways with job advertisements. Just last week there was a job fair where 400 jobs were available. Rea ...

I was talking with my friend about good, bad, evil, etc and he was telling me how negativity holds things back and that the evil spirits feed off of negativity and how the Creator is good and that the way to fight evil is to be more positive, love, etc. (not exactly those words and it is late and I'm going by memory). Anyway...that got me to thinking about my prayers and how a lot of times when I pray I am worried, a lot of times crying praying for a job for my husband, help with our ...

make an official government visit to any country, especially an ally, unless invited by that country's sitting leader, per protocol. Is Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the U.S. to address Congress Kocher? He was not invited by Obama as this would be a no-no since Mr. Netanyahu is in the midst of an election campaign. How would it look if President Obama visited Israel to meet and address the Israeli parliament without a direct invitation from Bibi? Things are just ...

I agree that the government should stay away from religion - therefore, it follows that the government should not be able to tell me how to practice my religion - if my faith follows the teachings of the Bible, then I should not have to pay for abortions since I believe that to be murder. It should allow me to refuse to photograph a gay couple - since that goes against my beliefs. The government has no problem with me giving money to the poor, helping out with relief in Haiti, ...

Interesting to see where this goes. OKLAHOMA CITY -- State Representative Sally Kern (R-OKC) is behind a new bill that deals with foreign laws in Oklahoma courts. Rep. Kern says the bill prevents a state court in Oklahoma from using foreign law in a case, if in that case, the foreign law would violate either of the parties' constitutional rights. http://www.kfor.com/news/local/kfor-news-new-bill-to-ban-international-law-story,0,973133.story ...
