[...] Joe Wilson’s outburst during Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress I suggested he was merely representing his constituents. I also suggested that he’s probably a liar too, but not many picked up on that. They were [...]

Wow – such animosity toward Marc Gallagher! Seems people either hero worship Obama – and can see no wrong or see all the flaws. This blog is about liberty. Freedom of speech goes along with that. I guess those slamming Joe Wilson and Marc Gallagher are not fans of freedom of speech. Then again, Obama's actions are all about state control, and not about freedom….

Chris Hilditch hit it right on the head. I'm 46 years old – and I've never seen a President so idolized as Obama. No matter what he does, says, he gets standing ovations – and anyone who disagrees with him is considered treasonous.

I certainly was screaming against Bush for most of the last 8 years. The only evidence I can give you is my writings on this site for more than the past 2 of those years. Obama being a Constitutional scholar, should know better, but he obviously subscribes to the "living breathing" version which is equivalent to a dead version.

Your heart is certainly in the right place, but the methods you suggest are misguided. Anyone who has compassion for other human beings (as I certainly do) are free to do everything in their power to help the sick and dying. The problem arises when a third party compels someone to do it through force. In this case, that 3rd party is the government, which (by the way) has been responsible for more dead and injured than all the big and bad health care companies combined.

Taking something from one person and giving it to someone else is not noble. It is theft. It is not somehow magically noble or morally proper if the government does it.

Jesus healed the sick voluntarily because he had compassion not because the government made him do it.

We are all individuals floating on the Big Blue Marble for sure and we should do all we can to help our fellow men/women. It should be voluntary though.

If A robs B and gives it to C how does this help B? How is compassion being shown to B? There is none of course. Now, if B feels he has the ability, should probably help C if C is in a bad way, but A should have NO say in the matter at all.

Even with the government forcing me to give up almost 50% of my income I still am able to find some left over (not very much) to donate to charity every year. I would donate MUCH more if I didn't feel like I was already being FORCED to donate to the horribly run charity known as the government.

Enjoy and thanks for your comment,
Marc

A racist Southern Rep. calls an African American President a "liar"……I'm Shocked! Do you really expect these lowlife Republican representatives to be any different from the Thugs they represent in the townhall meetings? Their goal is to see the President fail at any price!!! Worried more about the healthy profits of Insurance companies than they are of Americans dying due to lack of health care!!! WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE THESE BASTARDS OUT!

No, You and this idiot of a Congressman are frickin" LIARS! The Brownshirt approach to politics shows the Repuglican Party to be a collection of Thugs and Anti-Americans! Democracts need to use Bush's "Patriot Act" and jerk some of these Anti-American, Pro Business and Rich Fascists into jail where they belong!

I guess Marcg you were really screaming during the last 8 years when you saw the Constitution torn to shreds. The last president called it a G*D Damned piece of paper.
This president happens to know and love the Constitution, being a scholar. You are correct. This is not a game. Anyone who does not have true compassion for their fellow humans and would rather see people die rather than give them lifesaving treatment does not have his head and heart in the right place. Do you think, if you are Christian that Jesus refused to heal the sick because they had crossed a man made border? We are all one people floating on the Big Blue Marble.

Headline- Borowitz Report

Sanford: Finally, I AM NO LONGER THE BIGGEST DOUCHE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

A jubilant Gov. Mark Sanford met with reporters in South Carolina today, telling them he was "ecstatic to no longer be the biggest douche in this state."

The embattled governor said he "practically danced a jig" when he saw Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)'s outburst on television last night, adding, "That Joey boy did me a solid."

Rep. Wilson could not be reached for comment, as aides said he was busy barking at passing cars.

Those with "lower IQs" as you say are not those of us that realize it isn't a game between Republicans and Democrats. It is fundamental choice between a heavy-handed near-tyrannical government and an extremely limited government that only does what is permitted under the Constitution.

All of you who cheer for the Red team or the Blue team need to realize this isn't a game where we choose sides and win. Choose either of those teams and you will lose every time. If we could somehow learn to ignore the teams and just pay attention to the words and writings of our Founders we'd be in a much better place.

Enjoy and thanks for your comment,

Joe Wilson, The Congressman who he and his family have been sucking on the government teet his entire life. His own health care has been paid for by the government as has his wife and kids. His kids are still on the government teet. Let's see him renounce his congressional health care. (it is public option by the way), He also did not apologize. In his brief interview he said, "the leadership told me to call the president, so I did". If he is still in the National Guard, he disrespected his commander in chief. I guess all military personnel should be allowed to do the same thing. Obama did call out the liars and looked them in the eye. I loved that he said he would continue to call out the liars. The Republicans want nothing more than to pimp for Big Insurance. Big Insurance are the real "Death Panels".
Change the channel from Rush and Fox and watch your I.Q. go up a few points.

Joe Wilson is a MAN with far more guts than that POS ‘bama who deserves no respect at all.

For that matter I would piss on the shoes of most of Congress starting with Pelosi and Reid. All you boo-hoo-hooers whining that he dissed the system??? Too freaking bad. When was the last time ANY of these assholes showed any respect to the PEOPLE whom THEY SERVE? Got that? THEY SERVE US AT OUR WHIM. ‘Bama isn’t king, or God who can cow us with his stern looks and harsh tone. He isn’t to talk down to us like we are a bunch of children. He DOESN’T know what’s best for us nor does he RULE us.

The spineless weasels at the town meetings ought to be glad they weren’t’ tarred and feathered, let alone loudly criticized.

Oh, and call me a racist all you like. ‘Bama could be purple with pink spots but he is still an arrogant, condescending, Marxist, Ooooogo Chavez loving, piece of crap.

I am NOT going to STFU and these snakes in Washington better listen and listen good.
