		<description>Is it true that the healthcare bill includes an exemption for Muslims?  I used to work as a prison nurse ~ and since there were special exmeptions for Muslim prisoners, on their &#039;holy days&#039; ~ a whole lot of prisoners just &#039;decided&#039; they were Muslim, and by claiming that, they were.

Seems like a good possibility that the Muslim population in America, might have a sudden increase ~ if doing so exempts them from the new healthcare bill, or it&#039;s fines.</description>

&quot;I dont see a calculated attempt by liberals to take away liberties. I see a lot of hysterical people on both sides acting crazy. Thats what I see.&quot;

Then you aren&#039;t looking.  Spread your fingers and peek, then really look.  I would suggest you are so used to it you no long notice when your freedom is curtailed.  Forced to buy insurance for breathing at a price and standard set by the government and you don&#039;t see &quot;a calculated attempt by liberals to take away liberties.&quot;  They no longer even consider you have rights, that is how bad it is.  

I can agree that there are &quot;crazies&quot; on both sides.  A paragraph and 2 generalities makes communication hard.  I say &quot;liberals&quot;, I mean the folks who tell you either you &quot;can&#039;t&quot; or they &quot;can&#039;t&quot; care for themselves, or follow the rules.  The ones so worried about tomorrow they would shut down today.  People who believe &quot;Fairness&quot; can be achieved.  The best anyone can hope for is a level playing field.  Even then you&#039;ll find a slight slope.  Hard work and perseverence remain the primary &quot;secrets&quot; of a successful life.  Don&#039;t tell me about people who started with more.  I don&#039;t care.  Where will my efforts take me?
Yep, world is a mess.  It will be a mess for a LONG time.  There are no easy answers, and they can&#039;t be found in holding others responsible and accountable for you.
Healthcare? How can we provide healthcare when the bases of health is diet?  How can we expect people to have proper diet when people can grow and &quot;cook&quot; whatever they want?  People who eat meat are more aggressive-let&#039;s elliminate meat and dairy and milk, etc.  Left... Left, right, left. 
If a crazy person speaks the truth isn&#039;t it still the truth?  ~C</description>

		<description>Racial or sexisst descrimination is wrong. No mater what the objectives are. We don&#039;t a a racial mix we need folks that can do the job. If you can&#039;t lift a body dummy and hose you have no place being a firefighter.
Get over it or get better. I know ladies that work their butts off to make the man rules. One standard and everyone meets it. None of this Pc crap, you can&#039;t meet the standards, pick a different job.
I know in the Army I was respected cause I was a little fireplug and as a combat medic the boys new i&#039;d save them or die trying. Plus I could lift them in full battle rattle cause I demonstrated I could. I did it to save my boys and showed others how to do it. You want easy fine. Just don&#039;t make anyone else pay when you screw up!</description>

		<description>CheriNVB,

I guess what I was trying to get to is that I dont see reverse discrimination that everyone else does.  I think that our President has been doing a decent job.  I think that his administration has been an improvement over the previous one.  Am I happy about everything no.  Do I think he is going to save the world, no.  Do I think things are getting better bit by bit, I think they are.  Do I think that the previous administration was run by the devils minions, I dont think that either.  I think that certain people on both sides stand to gain from ratcheting up the rhetoric.  I was a life long Republican and I am completely disgusted with them now.  I wouldnt call myself a liberal although a lot of people might, I dont really care what anyone thinks of me.  I think the answers to our problems lie in the middle ground.  We need to get spending under control.  We need to get the problems healthcare under control or they will surely bankrupt us if we dont.  We need to come to grips with military adventurism that we seem to be addicted to and with our role as the worlds policeman.  I dont see a calculated attempt by liberals to take away liberties.  I see a lot of hysterical people on both sides acting crazy.  Thats what I see.</description>

I have had long dicussions with people who can only parrot what they have &quot;learned&quot; and only take action with an example to follow. Thank you for writing articulatly what you think.  I appreciate it. ~C</description>

		<description>How did a discussion on the reverse discrimination and vilification of “some” in the name of fairness to “others” become a debate on farmers and government intervention?  Forest for the trees boys!  
What is passing now for public discourse is nothing more than jealous revenge and retribution politics.  Propheted by our POTUS and his cronies.   We are all being told to look to our neighbors across the street, tracks or town for “why” we are in dire straits.  If INDIVIDUALS spent half as much time looking in the mirror, things could turn around.  Each of us bears responsibility.  It may not be fair, but responsibility never is, it bears great weight.  Concern for our own futures cannot allow us to sacrifice the free and libertious future of others or our children.  We live in a time of great cowardice, where the desire for greatness far exceeds and most individuals ability to achieve it.
I am petrified of the actions of this POTUS, his administration and legislature and look to my STATE legislature (therefore by default my neighbors) to help keep them at bay.  Having had the fortune of living rurally and in the city, I see the advantages of both.  Unfortunately the “City Slickers” out number rural folk  in their coming destitution.  Given their history of entitlement and lack of self-sufficiency, they will expect to be taken care of by “any means possible”.  It matters little who is “better” it matters who survives and the principles carried forward.  
The hatred of the left is ruinous.  They try to hide behind those they “champion”, while using them for their own selfish gain and destruction of those they fear.  They indulge their hate more than any perceived racist, neo-con etc. ever dreamed of.   They only desire to control, control, control. ~C</description>
