I sent this to my elected representatives today

Posted by lambeypie on Friday, September 25, 2009 8:48:35 AM

Vote NO on the health care bill. Why?

1. Problem solving leading to this bill is mediocre, at best.  ( does not even cover all the so-called uninsured!)

2. the "government option" IS NOT AN OPTION. The bill does not let me go without coverage if I want to do that. The tax on no coverage is HUGE.

3. I do not want the government to have access to my bank account.

4. I do not want the government to have access to my private health records.

5. Congress and Senate members are not covered by the plan that would cover me.

You may be swayed by the expensive, full-color ads that the President
is putting on TV at government expense.

What he says there in NOT in any bill before the Congress!

READ THE BILL or you won't know what you getting.

Don't allow it to be railroaded through.

Your district does not support this bill.

like pouring molasses in the engine

Posted by lambeypie on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 7:34:37 AM
government unions! We are having an election now in the state of Colorado to put unions in the government.
 
All I can say is: look how well it worked for auto workers in Michigan. As long as they had a fancy, big, profitable corporation paying the bills, some workers benefitted. When the auto industry took a dive, then there was no help for those workers. The unions made them unable to fend for themselves, and there has been a depression there for a lot of years.
 
Let's see if we can hold off from doing something. It seems like doing something for no reason now, with very bad consequences in the future.

Taking offense or being offended?

Posted by lambeypie on Friday, February 09, 2007 7:44:06 AM
In the old days, people remembered the word that it is an honor to overlook an offense by another person. Only slowly did people become able to express that someone had offended them. 

Being offended has become the rage: now we look for things at which to be offended. It doesn't matter how shallow or how thin the premise, let's get in there and be offended!  

I say, get a job! get a life! If you want to rob yourself of all the fun and enjoyment in life, focus on how much you are being offended. That will take all the joy right out of life for you.

I am an auditor. If I took everything that people say seriously, I would damage my ability to go to work, to love life, to consider myself a whole person. I can't go on what others say. People say things - sometimes to joke, sometimes from fear. How much better we both are if I respond in love and life. Their fear is lessened and I can do my job.

We have moved from thinking that we are taking offense at what someone said (active), to thinking that we have been offended (passive) and can't do anything about it. You would be amazed what happens when you let these things go. How lovely life can be when we don't let ourselves be under the foot of what others say.

Come to think of it, isn't it mostly liberals who spend their time being offended?

Islam is Politics

Posted by lambeypie on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 2:23:10 PM
Most American politicians are afraid of losing any votes or vote blocks by saying something politically incorrect. They will not call Islam what it is. They choose to refer to terrorists as Islamo-fascists or radical Islamists or some other misnomer. Actually, Islam is Islam, and America is its enemy.

Therefore, I am proposing that we view Islam as a political, rather than a religious, organization. It has political goals; it uses political means; war is within its purview. This may allow some politicians to tell it straight and focus on the right things to win the war and defeat our enemies.
