We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.  And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator.

   Can we have just ONE political thread that doesn't regress to "I know you are, but what am I?" within 3 posts?
   
   The topic here is Michele Bachman.
   Having read the posted historical misquotes and the linked article, it's clear MB gets her "facts" from the same source as SP. In fact, she probably read SP's two books. A lot of the same misinterpretations of the Constitution and early American history.
   
   When your entire raison d'etre is based on what's in (or not in) the original Constitution and what our founding fathers intended for this country and what they stood for and accomplished, you really should have a solid understanding of these foundations.
   
   Michele Bachman is Palin redux.
   
   BTW, there is a Concord in New Hampshire. And, since it is the capital, that is likely where Mrs. Bachman went on her visit. Concord, Mass. is not on the presidential hopefuls tour, so her gaffe is entirely understandable. Defensible? Not so much.

    Umm, just a word of caution, I was banned for six days for asking someone if he had checked behind his eyelids for his facts.  It was deemed unnecessarily combative.
    
    Combative or negative personal comments to people IF THEY ARE REPORTED are not tolerated apparently.
    
    Some people work full time trying to goad others into a combative mode, some are just obnoxious all the time.  But best to ignore personal goading that falls short of actual combative words.
    
    I don't mind some combativeness myself and I don't report attacks against me.  But bear in mind some people do.

    The Bachman's took in teenage girls.  Bachman was a teenage girl who apparently was on her own in at least a financial aspect.  If the Bachman's took in teenage girls at a time when Michelle was at home raising their children too in order to supplement the income, is that a sin?
    
    I'm liking Bachman more and more as I read about her.  Thanks for the attack thread that piqued my interest in her.

       No, but apprently it's a sin if a woman has a child out of wedlock and needs gvt help to pay for day-care.

       Oh, so it's a shame to have a baby?
       Funny, coming from the forced-birth crowd.
       
       Force them to give birth, while shaming them in the process, then cut off all aid when the time comes.
       
       Yes, this religion thing loooks better and better all the time. NOT.

    Welcome back to the fray, AnnCee!
    I honestly had no idea you'd been banned. Thought you'd just been off doing real life stuff or something.
    Your comment doesn't strike me as excessively combative.
    But then, it wasn't directed towards me .
    And if it were, I would be smart enough to know that the LAST place I should look for facts is behind my own eyeballs.
    
    Thanks for the reminder that we are all just one snarky remark away from banishment.
    So keep it clean, civil, and careful, everyone!

    Howdy MM.   Combination of ban and vacation.  I guess that worked out all right.
    
    Glad to be back.
