Just another little delusional lost soul wandering in the fantasy world of Obamanism. Completely devoid of any reality, facts &/or truth. Just dogmatic rhetoric for the useful idiots in an attempt to tear apart the very fabric of the freedoms America was built on. Poor, poor April.

I talked to several people there and came to the same conclusions. We have all worked our behinds off bring up our families, paying mortagues, college costs for our kids (in my case 5 college educated kids, 3 with masters degrees) EARNING every bit of our retirement and health care we enjoy and are afraid that Obama and his goons will take that from us and our families. 2. between my wife and I we work as volenters at a large food pantry 5 days a week helping those that need help. The pantry not only gives out food but will help with heating costs,find health care, getting food stamps, apartments and many more ways to help those in need. What we find is that the majority of the folks don't want to go to the effort it takes to apply for the help ie: birth certificates etc, they want it because we owe them!! I say let them and April go out, like we did, and work for it . As far as Obama and those fools in congress with thier spending habits to include date nights and all the other cooruption they are in just wait till the next election cycle.

Fear causes then to lash out. Instead of taking their turn to express their opinion and then listening to the opinions of others, they yell and scream and disrupt the process of debate. Without civil debate, our democracy breaks down. There has been a steady decline in our ability as Americans to debate without things getting really ugly. As a result, we demonize people whom we believe to have a different opinion.I'm amazed at the number of people who don't understand that their insurance premiums continue to go up and up because they are paying for those who are UN-insured. We are already paying for the poor, those who are uninsured because they are irresponsible and for the illegal aliens. It is time for reform. You cannot be an American citizen without paying into a system that offers a safety net to those in need. It is time that we change the way this safety net works. We need programs that will work for ALL of us. And the insurance companies need to be regulated. Most people are afraid of change. Fear causes then to lash out.
