The goal of terrorist is to terrorize---to instill fear. Is there any literate American who doesn't recognize that Republicans are mostly terrorists. They live to instill fear in others, whether it is Richard Nixon, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill O'Reilly, Ted Nugent, Newt Gingrich,Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, or Mark Levin.

They are the classic schoolyard bullies who wanted to pound you if you didn't give them your lunch money. These are the vile horrible children who grew into vile horrible bullying adults-----terrorists-----Republicans.

He is not a young man anymore. But when he closes his eyes, the images from his youth flicker to life on the grainy film of his memory, unspooling like a motion picture from a bygone era.

The movie reel rolls: It is the summer of 1969 and across America change is in the air. President Nixon has declared he's withdrawing 25,000 troops from Vietnam. Nearly 400,000 tie-dyed souls are preparing to descend upon a farm in Woodstock, N.Y. to see the likes Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin at a music festival. And ABC recently has announced that it will launch a grand experiment by televising a rare prime time SEC college football game on Oct. 4, 1969.


H****r declined. But the phone call reinforced what he still believes today: There will never be another game like the one played 45 years ago, on Oct. 4, 1969, at Legion Field. Indeed, it was the Big Bang moment college football went prime time.

You live in that wonderful country. Plain and simple. And you and your democrat/liberal/progressive friends are destroying it. One freedom at a time. Your country wasn't founded on the premise that you deserve the same things as everyone else. That's where you all get it wrong every time. Your country was invented. It, nor anything like it ever existed before the outcasts, miscontents, and adventurous came across and invented it. Then they created it. They created a land where everyone was created (born) equal. See the difference? Again your country was NOT created on the idea that you (everyone) deserves the same things as everyone else. It was created with the knowledge that you were born naked, hungry and helpless, just like everyone else, from the lowliest peasant, to the highest king. (No not blobama no matter what he thinks). It was created with the knowledge that if the government stayed out of your business, you could work, trade, buy, study, invent, think, pray, or do wh**ever you can think of, to make yourself into wh**ever you wanted to be. As rich or as poor as you can dream, and work to make yourself. We do not deserve what everyone else has. We deserve wh**ever we can get for ourselves. By ourselves. It was invented with the factual knowledge that you can be wh**ever you want to be, if the government stays out of your way. You can be as rich as you can make yourself. Or you can beg for scraps in front of the restaurant the people who work eat at. It's your choice, not your privelege, to be rich. Charity is great when we need it, but it's not charity if you're forced to give it. No matter how you look at it, I do not deserve one dime of George Soros's money. I didn't work or trade or in any way do anything that would entitle me to a penny of his money, and there is no fair reason for him to have to give me any of it. Remember; I do not deserve what everyone else has. I only deserve what I have worked to get. It can be done, even today. Modern examples are Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and guess what? Even President Obama. Especially Obama. He started out poor, without a father and look at him now. We only deserve what we do for ourselves, and it is just as easy or hard as it ever was. I hope you see what I'm trying to say, but I doubt it. Sorry for judging you, but that's what the people you say you are think about things. They deserve what other people have worked to get. Plain and simple again. There is nothing wrong with giving to the poor, and I think we should, but the poor do not deserve it. It is not their right. They did nothing to earn or deserve it. But I personally could not be happy if I was rich (I am not) and didn't do something to help my fellow man. But it should be your choice, not your job, or responsibility. If everyone deserved the same things as everyone else, the world would be full of rich people who all have diabetes and cancer, whether you worked your ass off for the cigarette, or were given the sugar by the welfare department.

Yes, we used Medicaid money to purchase private insurance. Why? Because our Republican lead legislature refused the Medicaid expansion, EVEN THOUGH, the public was overwhelmingly in favor of it. Gov. Beebe came up with the compromise plan which was, reluctantly, approved - for 6 months, then the battle began again.

The legislature, in it's zeal to see the ACA fail, are costing us $1.50 for every $1 of Medicaid money used for this purpose. That means that every AR tax payer is subsidizing Medicaid at $.50 on the dollar. Our republican legislature is hurting ALL of us, while playing Federal partisan politics.

The ACA is a flawed law, but instead of addressing it's failures, we are consumed with ensuring that it CONTINUES to fail - for political purposes - to the detriment of us ALL. Republicans should be shamed of themselves, accepting the suffering of millions of people as politically expedient. They are not only willing to throw the baby out with the bath water, but everyone else too.
