I'll probably be the target of a stupid bouncy tale.

SLW, CBS poll;



Just 2 weeks ago.

Far as Europe being better, you should have turn around that and asked why is every European nation then switching to a more privatized healthcare system and getting away from the government run style? And if its so great, why are all but one bankrupt? Not to forget one last question. Why doesn't she live there now?

Military Times (run by Gannett News) has pretty much the same results as the CBS poll.

Reuters is smoking crack with that poll of theirs.

And, I forgot about this, I saw a report on CNN or MSNBC can't remember, that a TON of people in France
buy additional health policies. Now if their "free" system is so good, why are these selling??

I missed this encounter as I had joined the other husband at the docks to look at some boats that
were for sale and he wanted a cig break. I had a feeling the "encounter" might happen as before
we got up the aggressive dyke was watching & listening to us. I guess she felt the need to
educate us like a good widdle ObamaBot...

Canada is like that as well. My dad's girlfriend was thrilled when she landed a job that offered private insurance.

No cop jumping out of the bushes?

Her girlfriend/date was supposedly a cop in Pinellas County, Florida. She seemed extremely embarassed at the rudeness of her companion.

Probably what bothered her the most was turning my back on her, not willing to waste any more time. I admit to listening to conversations once in a while in a crowded restaurant, but would never butt into their discussions or comment, other than to say to the next table that they had cute little kids as we left (to the parents or grandparents).

Yeah, it's certainly the epitome of rudeness.

It would help if the polls were more clinical and less POV. For example:


Although there is little or no data distinguishing active duty military personnel and veterans, there is a contrast in political views among officers and enlisted personnel. Jason Dempsey, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and Bob Shapiro have done a fair amount of ground-breaking research into attitudes and trends in the military and offer some of the following analysis:
· 2/3rds of majors and other high-ranking officers describe themselves as conservative
· 32% of enlisted personnel are conservative
· 23% are liberal
· 45% are moderates


This actually is pretty close to national representation, howbeit the demographics are a bit skewed. The nation is more closely divided into thirds conservative, liberal, "moderate (whatever the hell that means)".

I would expect the military to skew a little towards the conservative for a variety of reasons, not inconsequential that the demographics of those who enter the military skew conservative in civilian life. Then you have the deliberate efforts within the military to promote evangelical religion and Republican politics. http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/20...ligion-083112/

Nova, in 11 years I've never once seen anyone promote their religion on me in a conversion attempt. There is hardly anything widespread about any activities like that.

And I like that you assert that there are "deliberate efforts" and then link an article that clearly states that such cases are isolated, and there is clear policy against it.

I have been known to say to my companion, "Oh for God's sake, can you hear this garbage this person is going on?" I do reserve that for the most extremes of falsehood or offensiveness, rarely if ever commenting on a matter of opinion.

I can't wait to move back to California. My best friend and I are looking forward to calling a lot of people on their bullshit and offending as many as possible.

Waiter: Do you have any questions?

Nova : Yes. Is the tofu grilled or fried?

W: It's grilled.

N: And are the avocados Haas?

W: Yes.

N: Are the kitchen workers illegal aliens?

I don't doubt you, but at the same time the MRFF has a lot of source material on its website, justifying its mission and showing the issues and events which have gotten traction or initiated change. Is it possible that there is some reason you were excused from the "illegal command pressure" that Weinstein refers to?
