"Thomas Jefferson said, 'A wise and frugal government which shall
restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise
free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and
shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is
the sum of good government.' Notice what is not on his list:
government-provided housing, or government-provided food, or
government-provided health care. And Jefferson's views on the role of
government were widely shared by America's Founding Fathers. So my
question is: Please explain where you disagree with the vision of our
Founding Fathers, and why."

You have to go nuts, shout and disrupt, and not let anyone answer you.
That's what the conservative nutjobs are doing. I remember when Newt
Gingrich came up with that idiotic "contract with America". The people
who rallied against it were branded by the conservatives as unpatriotic,
un-American, communists, etc. Now that the conservatives are being loud,
disrupted and generally making fools of themselves at town hall
meetings, they are patriots!

When the hall is stacked so that the audience is 100% supporters, and one or
two people who aren't hand picked sneak in, that is what they have to do to
be heard over the people who are asking questions from a teleprompter or cue
card.



"Any time there are big bald headed guys at the door deciding who can get in
and who can't, it's pretty predictable what's about to happen."

I remember this happening during the last administration. What a fool the
speaker appeared as he stumbled and stammered over rehearsed words from a
telepromter he proved that he was illiterate. Too funny!



HTH, but I doubt it.
