And really, ask for Roger? Ft. Drum is a pretty big place, I have a hard time believing that if you strolled up and said “Hey, I’m here for Roger” that it’d get you very far.

I want Obama’s health plan to pass as I got a $19,000 medical bill for when my father was in the hospital for two weeks dying of cancer in which he passed away. His health insurance only covered so much and in fact they didn’t cover a lot of his medical needs. I’m in the process of hiring a lawyer to fight some of these ridiculous charges and that’s sad that i’m getting ready to fight his health insurer over money.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

I would put money on the fact the greedy health care industry made sure your father had assets to cover the bill before they allowed it to get that high.

You are NOT responsible for the debt… give them the finger.

looks like “roger” (twajie)

pussy’d out again.

not surprised.

Piss-off loser.

“What he was doing was looking for a cause to promote himself. I see this repeatedly. I’ve had a hundred cases just this year like Rick Strandlof’s. … What they’re doing is building a kingdom of self and feeding their own ego.”

Remind you of any trolls?

What I wish is that there was an anti-war movement that was as powerful and angry as the Anti-Choice one is…

all excellent reasons why it

AINGONGHAPUN!!!

We’ll get something that LOOKS like, and can be SPUN as, health-care coverage for all, but if it includes the HIP (Health Insurance Parasites), it won’t be any kind f REAL change, just a new, more complicated way to siphon off our money…

Phuck AMA and the GOP et al. I want and voted for a public health option.

So for awhile, I will blame the attitudes on those claiming to be out of the Iraq on pure ignorance from being in the military.

The notion that people serving in the military follow the right-wing “alternative reality” parade is another one of the right wing’s myths. I’ve never met a conservative vet under the age of 50.

Most of us saw through the lies and were appalled when Bush started Shock and Awe. But the DOD manipulated those in the military, gave them a sense of false importance of the job they were directed to do. Emails were being screened by the military, a group Military Families Speak Out internet communications was stopped…and they had Rush for what they thought was the truth. So for awhile, I will blame the attitudes on those claiming to be out of the Iraq on pure ignorance from being in the military.

I feel sorry for those that served in Iraq. I would not want to be in their shoes when they find out, really find out all the killing was over lies. They were used.

And no amount of “stay the course” is ever going to uncover a valid justification for the war when none existed in the first place. No amount of hero-worship or praise is going to gloss over that fact. And no amount of benefits for veterans is going to truly make up for it.

Wasn’t Rush the only talk show allowed over there? Talk about being brain washed. I will bet many still believe the illegal invasion of Iraq was about 9/11.

Even if he is, so what? It’s a mistake to get suckered into “support the troops” to the point that people are expected to praise individual soldiers as if the uniform (or claim to one) actually conferred goodness upon them. As civilians, we should not reflexively give deference to soldiers as if they outrank us.

This is an all-volunteer military. I have sympathy for the tired and war-torn, but I don’t salute them. They did their job—they should benefit from that. They want recognition, they should talk to the VA and people who want to give them recognition. I did not support this war. I won’t support this war. And I won’t thank soldiers for fighting a war I see as being illegal, immoral, and unjustifiable. I don’t hold individual service personnel responsible for that. My heart goes out to the troops who get it that they’ve been had, but I’m not going to take flak from any one of them because they served.

Many posters here have also served and do not have a chip on their shoulder. Calm down, observe and take lessons.

The real world is not as Rush, Hanity and the other hate America dumb as.s have led you to believe.
