I can understand people not wanting a bill to pass. When any bill comes up for a vote, there will be people for and against it. But for people to use such behavior is shameful.
I remember back in the 60's, the riots in Milwaukee and Chicago. I remember the national guard posting troops on street corners. I remember my own mother not being able to come home till they got the sniper off the roof where she worked. Are we to return to that?
When I first heard of the Tea Party, I thought it may be a good thing. Now that they have shown their true colors, I see that it is not.
I guess even though we are in the 21st century, there are a lot of people with paleolithic ideas. So sad.
Bills should be voted for, or against, because of their merits or lack there of, not because of the color of ones skin or sexual orientation.
I just hope the rest of the world don't think all Americans are like these hate mongerers.

Aloha,
What you are seeing now is same old same old. Look back through the ages. While we live in turbulent times, it has always been that way.
What is different this time is the instant news cycle. In any country of 300,000,000 or so the only way to get noticed is to kill someone. Next best thing is to be as rude and obnoxous and make a lot of noise to get some attention.
America through the ages has done some things that we are not proud of. From Interment of the Japaneese, or Mc Carthyism, to wipeing out a native people, to fighting a war with itself over slavery, just to name a few, our hands are not clean. And they never will be.
So Relax. Smoke a joint while you are waiting. Time and change are powerful forces. The old will die and with them their rigid ideas. The only thing certain is change. The eyes you see through will change with time.
Have a good full life. That's the best revenge.
Now I will take another hit and go back to picking at my navel.

It seems the dems may have asked their wives for their balls back (she keeps them in her purse) and will enact what they were put into office for.
Obama's recent stumping for health care is long overdue.
God Bless you Democrats who vote for health care reform.

The old will die and with them their rigid ideas.
I'm afraid this goes far beyond issues of age related idealism. I know young people who are very rigid in their thinking and old people who are more flexible.
Indeed, hatred and prejustice predate our civilization, and may linger far after we are all distant memories. There may have been some survival value for it, in mankind's distant past, but that time has past. I think today this behavior serves people's impoverished egos, and/or it gives them a sense of belonging. The only way they can seem to belong, is to exclude. Never the less this behavior is antiquated and un-necessary in today's society.
The eyes I see through are the ones given me. In my 52 years they have changed little. On the other hand, the world they perceive has changed much. I can only hope they are allowed to see many more years of change, and that change is for the better. The change happens starting with one person. You, me or some one else who sees injustice and speaks up.
It is possible for people to change. Let me tell you of one man I knew who changed.
I used to know a man down in Tucson. He was getting up there in age and was very prejustice. He was always making rude comments about races different from his. Then one day, we were all waiting around to get our daily assignments, when he started spinning around like a top and fell to the ground. One of my friends rushed over to him and started administering CPR. This kept the old man going till the paramedics got there. It saved the old mans life. The friend who saved him was a black man.
After our old prejustice coworker was able to return to work, we noticed he had changed. No longer was he bitter and prejustice. His thinking turned around 180 degrees. His crisis at work may have been the best thing to ever happen to his peace of mind. He seemed to be so much happier. Getting along with every one, and not considering difference in anyone. This crisis made his remaining days, happy days, with more friends who loved him than he could have imagined.
Maybe people will change and love one another one day. Perhaps it will not take a near death experience for mankind to get there. Perhaps it will.
^ yeah, I agree this whole thing is getting really ugly. Tune into CSPAN right now they are about to go to blows in the house! Rep Slaughter is about to blow a gasket! :jointsmile:
but seriously all that racist and homo hate bs is disgusting. It makes all the protesters look like maroons, even though it is just small percentage. :twocents:

Of course, that's because human civilization is still is still in it's early stage. People are so inclined to have a self serving bias, we all think we are so mighty and advanced, when in reality, we are crude savages. Not just people in America, but everywhere. You just have to play the game and know that everything is running its proper course. right?

wow they certainly know how to find the dumbest people to interview. Its such a shame how all these people have no idea why the hell they are standing outside picketing. All they can say is "tort reform" and talk crap. I don't care whether the bill gets passed or not, I just love how people can be so closed minded and not even care enough to actually find out what the bill ACTUALLY says instead of hear say.

Yea...................THAT NEVER HAPPENED......the video of when this happened is all over youtube....and nobody screamed ....thanks to all the racial martyrs out there looking for any excuse to make up a story about racism or social inequality. Get a life and research before ya post clearly inacurate information ya read on the internet and posted before thinking.
Apparently the guy is a civil rights hero and a liar on top of that.....interesting combo.

huh? It was cute when last week Nancy Pelosi actually tried to reach out to the tea party and say the Dems had "alot in common" with them.....gee....why would she say such a thing lol? Im sure its not cause they make the Dems reeeeaaaaal nervous.
And like I said......NOBODY screamed at those people walking into the House......nobody...and the video.....low and behold....backs that up....nice try though, the historic civil rights guy is another typical liberal race baiter whose MO is a) if you disagree with me your racists or stupid.....thats all they have because they arent very bright in reality and they do that cause they are scared and live their lives in fear.

Thats ok....Cartoon Network gets more viewers than them or CNN do now....and thats true. Look it up.....and its cause the viewers of all three are one in the same.

Just to help out anyone that is unable to follow the above bouncing off the wall attempts at posting, the alleged racist remarks have been debunked by a 48 second video of protestors yelling, booing and chanting "kill the bill", and the Pelosi comment from "last week" is a story from about a month ago
edit:: ohh and 3 Token African American protesters were interviewed and they say they didn't hear any racist remarks.. yup 3 people, and 48 seconds of video. Obviously the guy who started this post need to get a life right Islandborn (just joking Mr. Original Poster)

soooooooo, basically you got nada to back up any of these claims whatsoever? Nice. More cute lies from people who were scared for there physical safety by some "big scary protesters" outside the capital.....and whats the first thing these sappy idiots thought of to say OF COURSE.....RACISM.....its so predictable its funny to me. You guys are just shocked and afraid that those folks have Obama on the ropes already...with the DEMS HAVING AN UNBEATABLE SUPER MAJORITY....they BARELY passed Obamas SIGNATURE item..Barely.....and its nothing what they wanted....nothing. THATS really why they are so mad....its all about ELECTORATE votes....and they are losing those daily now in the most important districts. Nothings changed. But hey, we still love you guys and will leave the light on for ya.
Odd how there hasnt been much celebrating from the actual elected Democrats.....wonder why that is;) Just more anger towards entertainers like Glen Beck or whatever his name is. Wonder why? Dont let them get anyone worked up......thats their next move. Make people lose their temper and say something stupid...it aint gonna work. Focus on specific electorate seats.

Seriously? I wouldn't expect you or anyone to trace back where the news originated from or the validity of a video that is posted on youtube. You post what you want because you feel like its something to be shared:thumbsup:
Islandborn, "its nothing what they wanted" then it wouldn't have been passed. Alot of people want it just not the way they have it set up right NOW. Either way its here now:)Not that I care that much because politics is not my thing, and alll of this is BS anyway. Pack a bowl and just cchhiiiillllll

lol......man.....those people are scary and racist. Obama & his minions can smear whoever they want and its not gonna work......nor does the tea party give too shits, just gives them more publicity. I'd been saying for weeks if not months that some of these congressman were gonna be to scared to return to their homestates. Poor babies. Suck it up and start fixing the already flawed Healthbill with its children with pre-existing not being covered.....too funny......the problems already start....and will be a noose around the Democrat party necks until November.
It was so hilarious to see all the libs come pouring outta their yoga classes to lecture everyone on what a great bill it was, even though it was the same exact bill as before, minus the public option & coverage for illegals, just cause Obama signed it...funny stuff. I love you guys and can see ya pretty clearly now....the far left and right are the exact same. And should be exploited as such.
No educated person thinks this will be repealed.....thats a ruse.....its all about election 2010 now.....then it will be attacked in Appropriations committee's and de-funded which is far, far, easier and requires far less votes.
