If it is strictly about womens health issues, then why no free cancer meds for woman or men for that matter, i mean its a "health cate issue...why only BC???

And as for mandating "auto insurance"...if one doesn't own a car, one doesn't have to have auto insurance....:)

If the real issue is who should pay for it, then it's easy: insurers of health.
I don't understand the whole craziness over health care - the Feds mandated auto insurance and no one went postal, why is health care so much different?
Obama is in charge of representing all the citizens, and people who don't have health care [and consequently use the hospital emergency room for care] cost the taxpayers a lot. One way or another, we're paying for it, right? And isn't is in the best interests of society in general to provide more preventive care, as insurance encourages? [Birth control is a whole lot cheaper than pregnancy!]
What's the hysteria all about, really?

When did the FEDS mandate care insurance? The answer, NEVER. At no time in our history has the Federal government stepped over the bounds of the Constitution and required, under the force of law, that a PRIVATE citizen purchase a product.

No Obama is NOT isn charge of representing 'all citizens'. Where does it say that in the Constitution? He is in charge of the executive branch, the military, not the citizens. The House represents the citizens.

The hysteria? No hysteria. Heath care, is a PERSONAL matter. It is not a government matter.

We should NOT be paying for health care, UNLESS, we CHOOSE to amend the Constitution to allow it. There is NO LEGAL authority in the Constitution that allows the government to use force to insure others. We either live within the bounds of that document or it means nothing and it's gone. Then, there is no country.

Also show me ANYWHERE in the Constitution that gives the government the authority to FORCE employers, of any kind, to provide ANY kind of health care, not just birth control..

Obama's FIRST duty, to which he put his hand on a BIBLE and swore before God and Man is to PROTECT and DEFEND the Constitution of the United States. NOT gut it, get around it or circumvent it. Which he and the congress is doing.

He is NOT good at keeping oaths.

They have been robbing Peter to pay Paul for decades. Problem is, Peter is now out of money and there is no one left to steal it from. It has all caught up.

Not quiet. I completely agree that we have been shaking down Peter and he's out of money. however there is also Tom (China) and Bill (the fed) I think between borrowing from Tom, and Pulling dollars out of thin air (the Fed) they can keep this ship afloat for 4-7 years. This time frame will likely be shortened 2-3 years depend on how hard Obamas tax hikes hit in 2013..

Then we will be Greece who is just circling the drain.

If this keeps up lead will be worth more than Gold. What good is gold if you have no way to protect it?

When those who know nothing other than a check on the first from the government get cut off hell will break out. I hope they can get things fixed before it gets that bad. But there is a reason firearm sales are at all time highs.

(ok.. yes.. I am guilty. but i have not bought that many)

The entire market crashed yesterday. Greece's problems blamed for it. The idiots in Washington cannot figure out that what is happening in Greece is going to happen here. The stupid people here, begging for hand outs, cannot figure that out either.

Not sure exactly what the stock market has to do with Rush Limbaugh or his advertisers, but I will tell you this, the market is up 20% since October. A pull back is par for the course after a significant high has been reached (13,000). Oh nooooo the market dropped after it topped 13,000 :eek: A 200 point drop is hardly worth mentioning, I will bet anyone the market will regain some of the loses from yesterday and close in the positive.

BTW......stop hijacking threads.

Back to Rush.

How many advertisers has he lost so far?

Funny, this thread has morphed all over the place and you pick out ONLY ONE to complain about. Have a problem? BTW quit looking to always cause trouble.

Who cares how many advertisers Rush as lost? Rush is NOT important and neither is his show.

West side shorty no longer participates. He shows up twice a year to try and stir things and then runs away like a little child.

Simple, take your complaint to the owner or owners of the site and ask for him to be banned. If they feel that he should be banned, then there you have it, if they feel that he shouldn't be, then carry on.

I just happened to think of some things I had run into. I only thought I would ask him to clarify. NOT the same as what was going on in this thread as late, He chose not to answer, I am dissapointed I was looking forward to some insight.

Not the time nor the place for that question to be asked, in a thread about Rush Limbaugh and the question of TallCal(the OP) either being a troll or troll like or not a troll at all. C'mon man!

Like I said, if you were truly interested in my opinion on the subject you could've PM'd me, or how 'bout this, start a thread asking that very question to the group.

What has been going on of late is only being done to cause trouble.

Oh for God's sake.

Now, get back on track please.

Coming from the one who took us off the tracks, that's rich.

Funny, for someone who claims to have no interest in Rush Limbaugh, you have a lot of activity in a thread about Rush Limbaugh.

I believe I said suspended. What I am advocating is that he either participate, or Moderators delete his posts that are an attempt to rile the hicks. His posts remind me of another member that posts exclusively in the Soapbox. That person normally only posts items that they think will fire up the conservative group, and rarely answers any posts with anything other than questions.

Know what I mean?

Yeap, that I do and have said probably about 3-3.5 yrs ago "get use to it, cause I AIN'T GOIN NO WHERE"....And that is Jims point, I am not "hit and run" ....:)

So....you're saying, it's okay to be a troll if you don't hit and run? Gotchya!

Dont' get me wrong, I totally agree with your concerns and think they were appropriate to bring up. Now its up to the mods and if they want to do anything about it. Personally I dont' think anything should be done, but I do understand where you are coming from.

Hey! News Flash for ya!

Forum: The Soapbox
Got some to say about politics, the state of the world, what's happening today, just need to express your opinion? This is the place to do it! Just keep it civil!

The above is the intro for the Soapbox.

BTW........something that's been bugging me for quite some time. Can someone fix the second word in the intro from "some" to "something"? Thanks.

The 'mods' do not have the ability to 'ban, suspend, kick out, provide vacations' for members that, 'mess up, tick off, upset' or other wise are a pain to the general population!

Good catch on the word 'some'. I cannot say I ever noticed it. You are either very observant or very bored to catch that! You are awarded 50 free attaboys that can be redeemed for 1 $2 cup of coffee, provided you bring the $2 to pay for it with you!

Well if you were following along, I mentioned the owner or owners of the site to make the call in my previous posts. I don't know who is able to make that call and to be honest, I could care less, if the powers that be decide to ban TallCal, so be it.

Your condescending attitude above is duly noted and will be given the attention that it deserves..... none.

I will try this AGAIN! I have typed this in THREE times now and three times it as gone away!n I HATE Windows 7! :mad:

*SIGH* I was NOT trying to be condescending. I WAS thanking you for the catch.

You know, I have met many expediters out here, most of whom post in here on a regular basis. I would be willing to bet that even the ones who don't agree with my views in here would not apply the word 'condescending' to me. I am a LOT of FUN!! Geez, go take a chill pill!

As to the other part, I was just trying to clarify the process a bit for you.

It's hanging down and danglin' and slapping the post about a third of the way down. As for disputing what you've said, thanks, but I'm fine without it. I did that once, and you dismissed irrefutable facts because they didn't agree with your preconceived notions and beliefs. Besides, there are really very few facts in the hissy fit above. There are eight, possibly nine factual errors in your first paragraph alone. There are a few facts in the post, but mainly only to be used as a vehicle for a troll-like rant laden with buzzword and phrases to get others wound up. A simple discussion of the facts without the biased editorial comments would be much preferred. Except, for mer personally, how many advertisers Rush does or does not have, what he does or does not say, nor whether is is or is not on the air, I couldn't care less.

Frankly, I'm far more concerned and interested in the fact that Obama, Holder and the administration has suddenly, after more than 230 years, has suddenly and simply redefined the term "due process" to mean "having thought about it".

"I mean really, calling me names has nothing to do with the topic I introduced,does it?"

I wouldn't think so, no, you troll-like person, you.
Consider the "Like" button pushed.

Remember the old saying about "If the shoe fits..."?

Troll (noun);
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
Urban Dictionary: internet troll

"Where trolls are successful is a slightly different issue - some forums allow members to set an 'ignore' function, so they just do not see troll posts, after the first one, and some specialist forums are tightly focused so that troll posts stick out a mile and are ignored - it's larger, more general forums that have issues, as it only takes a couple of members to be drawn in for the whole forum to suffer. They also thrive on 'opinion' sites, such as politics and religion, where feelings often run high anyway...
"
Internet Trolls

Especially amusing is a drive-by poster - who in the past has been notorious for name-calling and personal slurs - that gets indignant for being accurately identified as a troll. It's one thing to offer a liberal vs. conservative topic for reasonable discussion, but it's quite another to pop in with the frequency of Haley's Comet to spew liberally biased, inaccurate, inflammatory vituperation into a community of small business owners who are by nature conservative. Fortunately, this forum has an "Ignore" feature that comes in handy for known trolls.

Regarding Rush. He was being absurd about Ms. Fluke to highlight the absurdity of the contraceptive argument. He apologized for the words that he used. It is really being blown out of proportion by the leftist libs as usual. The double standards that they have regarding what Rush has said and what other liberal entertainment talkers have said is pretty clear. As far as all the sponsors leaving him. He chimed in about it today. Looks like much ado about not that much.
