Ricko, agreed. Good points.
Were you talking about Michael Moore or Rosie O'Donnell?
Please, let them run. We need a good laugh.

Thanks. I'm not perfect. But I try to get it right and we all need to do that. Some don't try at all.
The main trouble with Congress is it no longer represents what a congress should be and is nothing more then warring parties jamming left and then right wing laws on America and not getting to the real heart of what America wants, needs and should have. And that comes from the great middle of America if we could harness that as a middle party balancing the right and left and pushing away extremism.
For example, ACA. I refuse to use that other name as he doesn't deserve any recognition. It was jammed down the throats of America, with absolutely no input from Republicans even allowed, and not a single vote. Duh! Why would any reasonable person not expect to see the Republicans repeal something jammed down their throats. Especially such a total failure. But to do the exact opposite, pass a 100% Republican bill while repealing ACA would be just as bad in the Democrats view. All major legislation like this, or anything over 100 pages, should be a consensus of Congress and not just one party. Congress represents all of America.
So, what is the solution. I have an elaborate plan, and I forwarded this to Ryan months ago, but you know how well ideas sent to Representative's email's get read. And they are all the same. A form letter back.
Here is the Reader's Digest version. You put together a committee, based on the percentages of the Republican/Democrat split in the House. Let's say 12/8. But here is the kicker. The Democrats pick the Republicans and the Republicans pick the Democrats and I don't mean the ledership. Everyone who wants on this committee puts in their resume and all of Congress picks the committee by secret vote. That way, the extremists are eliminated. Middle America rules. Both sides are represented. Total secrecy during their deliberations. Rotation of chairmen among all. 67% agreement to bring it out for a vote. Start from scratch with no references to ACA. First decision is, what should be the Federal Government's roll? What should be the States roll? What should be the roll of private insurance companies and plans? And a review every five years with all changes at 60%.
Let the attacks begin.
cheers
Shutting down the Government is not as drastic as it sounds. The military still functions. As does border security and DHS, Air Traffic Controllers. Taxes are still collected and bills paid. It is more about non essential services. We will go on fine. Although it might mean shutting down something like the Viet Nan Veteran's Memorial, it would only shut down security. Only a real jerk would try to keep veterans away from that and I'm sure there would be many volunteers to act as volunteer security. The government is full of non essential services and that is what would be effected.
cheers
Nitpicking every little grammer infraction is probably not the right thing to do. We are here for political discussions and sometimes a little error slips through even with proof reading and real intelligent people.
On the other hand, rambling nonsense with no punction and appropriate capital letters and thoughts running together, interspersed with a generous offering of what is generally considered foul lauguage is not appropriate in reasoned political discussions.
Every thing that we post should be proof read before hitting send, and even written somewhere where simple spelling corrections are highlighted.
Now, what mistake did I make?
cheers

Thank Progressive One's cussing. Any poster that starts out like PO just keeps real intelligent people from bothering to read further. Stops PO's crap from going forth with PO BS.
Lindajoy.
I agree with you in principal, but the practicality is another matter. You try to speak out in California and you get a Berkley type mob that might be firebombing your home. They are criminals and real assholes on the left in California. They've lost track of what America is. And Brown as shit won't do a think to stop them. He encourages them. Seceding from America is what so many in California want. Throwing them out of America is what so many Americans want. And make sure that includes the Hollywood snowflakes.
Those few real Americans in California need to start from the grassroots and now, before they legalize all of those Mexican invaders and they loose all chances of survival.
Cheers

Typical leftist, trying to hijack another string to their hatred of our current President, Trump.
What fake government are you talking about. the one from 2008 to 2015. Now that was a real fake government.
But stay on topic. This string is about the so called religion of Islam and their rights in America and their desire to conquer America and the world to the slavery of Islam.
Oldroy: I think you missed my point. I'm with you.
I like the way you write. You remind me of me. Keep it up.
Oldroy, California deserves the bastards. Unfortunately there are a lot of good people in California, but a minority, mainly on the right, and assholes like these evil legislatures and their totally inept, corrupt Governor have a majority that keeps them in office as they rape California.
