Default Here's a question for town hall meetings...

From a column by Robert Tracinski, "20 Questions for Your Congressman",
(http://www.jewishworldreview.com/080...i081109.php3):


"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."

Well, I don't think it is appropriate to own slaves.

What does that have to do in the current situation?

My ancestor worked and fought to right that wrong over 150 years ago.

The question, ****-for-brains, was "Please explain where you disagree
with the vision of our founding fathers..."

Got it?

Harry does that frequently. He starts spewing jibberish whenever he
can't stay on topic.

What are you doing to stop slavery in Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and Asia?

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.

HTH, but I doubt it.

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!
