A Class Act

Posted By Forrest Heinle

Two things, Rod. If you read it, you'll see that the ABC reporters were badgering him while he was trying to get on an elevator to get to the Senate floor. His later gesture probably reflects his dissatisfaction with them for the blockage. Was it in poor taste? Yeah, but how would you like to have mics shoved in your face from people whom are from a network that you know to be biased against your ideals?

Second: He's grandstanding. He's retiring, so there is no reason for him not to pull this kind of stunt. From where i'm standing, i think his point has been made and he should have relented. Unfortunately, because he's retiring he has no reason to worry about his actions having consequences, and frankly, being from Kentucky, his constituents probably love the hard ball stance he's taking anyway.

Utah: Dug Up & Lit Up

Posted By Forrest Heinle

Blah blah blah blah, Hate, Blah blah blah blah, Hate, blah blah blah blah. You get the picture.

Rod, let me ask you one question. You lot in California were allowed to completely screw up your state. That was your right. Why is it you don't want to afford Utah the same rights as a state?

RNC Donors Revealed

Posted By Forrest Heinle

This could be political satire. It's hard to say. After all, something you failed to mention, Rod, was that the presentation also had pictures of Obama as the Joker, and Pelosi as Cruella DeVille. Given that, i would tend to believe this was meant more as an attempt at a humorous presentation rather than a factual statement of feelings as you're trying to imply.

Utah Set to Criminalize Miscarriages

Posted By Forrest Heinle

Rod, i can't believe you read this garbage. It's no wonder you're so full of hate for certain people. All you do is read blogs and editorials from people that are so full of hate they're nearly choking on it. They are allowed their opinions, of course, but that fact that you follow what they say like a sheep does you a disservice. I don't expect you to agree with conservatives and Republicans, but hanging with the far left nut jobs isn't the way to get any sort of message across.

That being said, at least you're pointing out that Utah recognizes the law as going entirely too far and is moving to limit it's influence. While you may disagree with the fact that they feel forced miscarriage should be a crime, it is their state, and if the population agrees, they have the right to pass such legislation. Just don't move there, i don't think you'd last very long!

Obama and the Steady Drift to the Right

Posted By Forrest Heinle

If Obama is supposed to be "moderate" and drifting right, My God i would hate to see what they think a true left wing progressive liberal is.

I think i'm going to go to this weekends gun show, exploit the "loop hole" and load up....



(That was a joke, btw)

What Alternate Universe Is

Posted By Forrest Heinle

See, Rod, you call me demented in other threads, but here is the problem. I whole heartedly agree with you on this one. You are completely right, and we need to do something about this lunatic. What, i'm not sure, but something. What i've heard about the results of military action makes it less that palatable, although perhaps necessary.

So....is the world going to implode now that my demented self has agreed with you on something??

How Many Per Day Losing Health Insurance?

Posted By Forrest Heinle

You know, i had something very snarky to say about this. I thought it was quite good, too. But i decided not to post it because it came to me that being nasty to you just because you've been nasty too me really isn't going to get us much of anywhere.

So.... i agree with you. Thankfully it's dropped. We simply disagree on what we should do about this situation.

BTW, the whole point of health insurance savings accounts is JUST for such a situation as you described. You put money away that is non taxable and then on a rainy day such as losing your employer provided health care, you still have money saved to pay for health care costs.

Unfortunately, for most of us, that money won't go too far because health care costs are out of control. You and i simply disagree on how to get them under control. Oh, and you think health care should be a right and i don't. But being the demented hate monger i am, it's probably understandable i should feel that way, right??

We Had To Apologize?

Posted By Forrest Heinle

I think we should ship the a crate of cheese to go with all that whine, and throw in a bundle of towels for good measure to sop up all the tear from the wailing and hand wringing.

On the other hand, we could have just told them to take a long walk...and then pointed them towards the shortest pier.

That Old-Fashioned Republican Party Racism

Posted By Forrest Heinle

1. How can you stand to read the Drudge Report?? I never do. The website is hideous... and i'm not talking about the links and info he posts. His layout is akin to something you would have seen 15 years ago when the internet was just being fleshed out. I shudder every time i go there to view a link someone posted.

Okay, now to the important stuff.

2. I'm confused about the so called "racism" you're pointing out. Could you clarify it for me. Is it because they use his middle name "Hussein" in conjunction with a muslim nation such as Indonesia, thus trying to imply he has sympathies that way? I'm not sure how that's racist. Is it silly? Yes, but not racist. Besides, have you seen what his administration is doing to our ties with Israel? Yeah, kinda hard NOT to see him as being a muslim sympathizer.

Oh...and one other point. Since when did the Drudge Report suddenly speak for the entire Republican Party or Tea Party Members???? Too broad a brush, Steve. Need to reign that bad boy in. You can't paint an accurate portrayal when one stroke covers the entire canvas.

Oh...and hating Obama doesn't make you racist. Hating Obama because of the color of his skin, does. One can hate without being racist. Doesn't make it a good thing, BUT your logic is invalid if you say hating Obama makes you a racist. It's just not true. That's a typical tactic of the left, one that is abhorrent and you SHOULD NOT adhere to it, Steve. It lessens you and your opinion. Hating Obama is bad, but you marginalize that message by implying that Republicans, Tea Partiers and those that think he has a socialist agenda automatically hate Obama and therefore are racist.

Let's be honest...

Posted By Forrest Heinle

I'm not much for defending Obama, but i thought that was pretty damned funny. People need to lighten up. It's called "I'm a dad with daughters" humor. He simply inserted a predator drone in place of a shotgun. Rather logical given his position.
