By the way, Lydia, the number of uninsured Americans is 47 million. With a population of just over 300 million, this is 16%, give or take, with the majority being children. This is a very big problem, and something should be done about it.

For those of you too lazy to read the actual op-ed from Pelosi, here is the part that all of you claim to be so highly offensive: "These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades." Contrast this with a quote in this article: "calling those who want Congress to hear their concerns about health care “simply un-American.”" She in fact said that all concerns should be heard, and thus actually indicates that she wants constructive debate. Maybe she is misrepresenting the facts, and maybe she doesn't really want debate, but disruptions at public meetings certainly don't help. Regardless, shouting out unconstructive things like "socialist" and "just say no" does not really promote constructive dialogue. The town halls are an attempt to do just that. People can make themselves be heard by attending the meetings, and talking to those in attendance. They are open to the public, and are meant to provoke dialogue. I would think that the lovers of freedom on the Right would like this.

Something needs to be done to prevent health care from collapsing, and I have yet to hear a solution from the Republicans on this. At least the Dems are trying. It certainly isn't perfect, and if the Republicans can come up with a better solution, I am all for it. Let's have a dialogue, though.

Only a Satanically-motivated communist fool would be for this 'health care' plan. Among all the other truly evil things about it, the eventual goal would be a euthanasia program for the elderly.

America has been through all this nonsense of impugning the patriotism of others before, and, thanks to the courage and resilience of the American people, we survived. I refer to the time during the Viet Nam war, when the Johnson and Nixon Administrations also equated dissent with disloyalty, and threatened to punish their critics as traitors, for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I see no point in sending American military troops abroad, to fight for freedom and democracy there, while our own freedoms are being gradually rescinded right here at home. We the American people should demand that all of our military troops be brought home now, never again to be sent abroad until we the American people once again enjoy our own Constitutional rights and freedoms to the fullest. Freedom begins at home.

This wicked and evil doctrine of "political correctness" is a Communist idea. Mao Tse-T'ung wrote of it in his Little Red Book, calling it "right thinking". It is indeed tyrannical because it cows people out of saying what is honestly on their minds.

In response to the Nancy Pelosi types, I have a sweat-shirt I often wear in the colder months of the year, which sports these words on it: "POLITICALLY INCORRECT, AND PROUD OF IT!" I hope one day, all patriotic Americans will follow this example.
