Dear friends, as I've become extremely busy over the last few months I'm afraid I've been neglecting my blog. In the interest of maintaining compelling content, I've invited my first guest blogger. I present the esteemed Mr. Richard Head. --Cowboy
"Health Care Reform". Have you ever heard three more frightening words put together? Why do the Democrats feel that they must shove Government-Run Health Care down our throats? Folks, I'm here to tell you the frightening truth about the Democrats and their evil plan for World Domination. That's right, World Domination. You might think this is just about the Democrats making a fast buck by preying on your sickness, but the sad truth is that it goes far… far further than that.
Mr. Obama, or should I call him Mr. SATAN!!!!, has every intention of dismantling the beautiful heath care system our loving benefactors at the Insurance Companies have lovingly put together for us out of the goodness of their hears. He wants to destroy that. He'll force you to stand in long lines just to be seen by a doctor, and at the end of that line, you'll be denied care, or you'll be forced to pay outrageous sums for even being seen. It's true, this is what they have planned. The elderly will just simply be euthanized. That's a pretty way of saying MURDERED!!!!
It's TRUE!!! Mr. Obama wants to murder your grandparents! If you don't oppose this bill, you'll have to explain to your children why you let the evil Democrats murder Granny and Pappy. Your children will be brought before the Death Boards, and there they will be judged whether or not they will be fit to live. So will you, for that matter. And if you're white, It doesn't look good for you. It's right there in the bill on page 666, appropriately enough. They'll force unwed mothers to get abortions. They'll force wed mothers to get abortions. They'll force you into homosexual and lesbian marriages. And to pay for it you'll be forced to give them the password to your bank account. After that happens, they'll drain your account to settle your bill, which should reach an appropriate portion of the national deficit. Now you know the real reason behind the Stimulus Bill. It's not about "saving the economy", an economy they destroyed in the first place, it's to drive up the national debt so high that they can justify the outrageous amounts they're going to charge you at the hospital after they get done slaughtering the rest of your family. But they wont' take responsibility, all they say is "Bush spent 10 billion a month in Iraq!" Like defending freedom had anything to do with it! The unmitigated gall! And they'll brand the number 666 on your forehead, "for quick processing next time" they'll say.
The Health Insurance companies want to stop this madness. We're your friends! We've already managed to save you from the nightmare of free universal heath care like the fascists in Europe have to contend with, we only have to defeat the mandatory public "option" they want to force you into. We want to give you the health care you deserve. We don't want to get between your doctor and you the way the Democrats do, we want to make sure your every need is taken care of. Don't let the Democrats destroy democracy! Oppose Health Care reform everywhere! Make sure you listen to Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh for details on how to debate the evil Democrats, they've read the bill so you don't have to. Don't worry, it's all taken care of! Just say "NO" to Pinko Commie Heath Care!

vetoed it because she heard from a friend that it was actually some Hollywood plot to bash fat people and accuse them of destroying the world. 
First, let me be clear. I've abandoned Christianity for many reasons, not the least of which is I no longer believe the adult fairy tale of a "benevolent" "God" watching over all of us and allowing all of the bad things to happen because he works in "mysterious ways". It's a load of crap. It's Santa for grown-ups. I think that there is some sort of higher consciousness, but it doesn't look out for us on an individual level, it's not a God, it isn't accurately described by any religious text ever, and it's completely explainable by science, even if it's science we don't understand yet. So all criticisms of Christians as to whether or not they have any idea of what their own religion dictates should be taken with a 
single "Christian" alive today that lives the life prescribed by the Christian Bible. For all their faults, the only group I know that actually came even somewhat close was the cult. 
my wife opposed to Wall-E? Because someone told her it was somehow un-Christian. I don't think anything that was lampooned by the movie is anything Jesus would not condemn. Why do so many Conservatives/Christians/whatever seem to believe whatever they're told? Are none of them capable of thinking for themselves? 
was a dismal and unfortunately accurate depiction of the piss poor state of health care in America. I'm shocked at how much better it is almost everywhere else. And he identified why it's different here, and traced it back to Nixon and Edgar Kaiser in 1971. It's appalling that in this country we give doctors bonuses on being able to deny as many people health care as possible, while in England doctors are given bonuses on crazy dumb-ass criteria like how many people they got to stop smoking. 
learned from it based solely on things she had heard about Michael Moore, presumably from her religious right friends. I'm glad I didn't let my own bias stop me. I've finally realized that despite being an ignorant conservative for years, I'm really a flaming liberal and I'm finally coming out of the closet. While most people my age are becoming more conservative and start voting Republican, true to the story of my life I'm doing exactly the opposite, I've wised up. I'm actually looking in to becoming an activist.
strength that's hard to find to say "we will not submit to terrorism, but neither will we become terrorists ourselves." It takes one kind of strength to stand up and criticize people like George Bush and Dick Cheney for sacrificing America's principles when times were dark, and it's entirely another to stick to those ideals when you find yourself in their position. The recent disappointments from President Obama serve to illustrate that he, just like the rest of us, is only human. Still, let's hope it doesn't happen again.
bottom without vomiting or suffocating from incredulous laughter, note how the tone changes. At the beginning the writer(s) makes an honest effort to sound legitimate, as though everything reported is mere fact. In a sense they are, in the same way North Korea reports facts on their state sponsored news agency. Towards the bottom all pretense is lost. Note the use of exclamation marks and the use of the words “we” and “our”. It’s not too hard to figure out the perspective of the writer. How many other Wikipedia articles use “we”, especially in an article about an individual? I was tempted to “correct” the article, but I suspect that’s already happened a couple of times. It’s surprising to see the “critical” links at the bottom haven’t been removed.
can live up to those standards, incidentally) and went to Portland Oregon to start again. The ICOC more or less collapsed under it’s own weight without the charismatic cult leader to hold it together. He’s still out there and he’s still ruining lives. He’s since moved back to Los Angeles and more or less rebuilt his “movement”. Apparently the current name is the Los Angeles International Christian Church (Ironically, I.C.C instead of I.C.O.C., the International Churches of Christ. Creativity does not appear to be one of his sins).
