From a column by Robert Tracinski, "20 Questions for Your Congressman",

"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!


Sorry Loogie, but you need to turn on the tube and watch something
besides GE television (MSNBC)... I just watched a straight hour of town
hall with Specter and 25 random questioners. It was smooth, cordial, and
informative.. One thing I learned is very few folks out there really
support this bill. The only bullying and beating so far has been union
thugs beating a black man.

Here's another hint about "organization". Look at the signs the folks
are holding. Pro health care, pro printed, single phrase, mass printed
and produced signs, opponents, hand made, crayon or marker on
cardboard.. Do a google on the signs and get back with me. No
republicans have been "bussed" in, unions have, no opponents have held
up german symbols, this is a liberal thing and the ones recently have
been debunked. There was a guy yesterday with a Obama Hitler sign at a
rally. He carried it around parading for the cameras, at the end of the
day he was seen handing out pro union, pro health care pamphlets. He was
a plant.



Yes, I know. Liberal MUST = bad
Conservative MUST = good.
