You know Mr Gringo, she is a widow and I think that she needs a good friend, such as you.....Dreaming of a Dad that will be a perfect match for my Mom! The family accuses me of being a wanta be match maker! :lol: Seriously, Mom speaks very highly of you. As a matter of fact, she gave me a list to whom I should look for comments or topics created, you were the first on that list. Of course she put AuntiE and a few others, but you were at the top.

So I am feeding his ego and providing him with entertainment. That is okay with me, everyone needs a pass time. You are correct, and I did acknowledge that he often makes posts that are deliberate in insulting and his approach needs to be softened. When, or if he should start being abusive to me, or Mom tells me that I can not read his comments, I will stop and just pass over his topics. I do however appreciate your kindness to me and your gentlemanly approach. Thanks.

Be that as it may. Howver, he most often opens his post(s) with vile remarks about Republicans, Conservatives especially, with no input from any one else. He expects like replies, in fact invites them, so he can further revile those taking his bait. He revels in his provocative vileness, seeking acknowledgment for his posting. He is as vile as they come, deliberately so. That is his entertainment, and pastime.

Who Reaqlly Benefits From ObamaCare?

Big winners indeed. They win, grandmaw and grandpaw have to tighten the notches on their belts to make ends meet. Care for the elderly has been cut, but as long as the people that was on State and government programs now get to be on the government program that pays for their health ...... seems to me that the situation has not changed, other than the elders programs were raped to pay for what the the start up costs of a program that will not be self sufficient in your lifetime.

I agree, the sick are the big winners and now we have a bunch of healthy big whiners who haven't a clue of what they've been dealing with all along with skyrocketing medical costs or having a plan canceled before PPACA. I hope your son is able to dig out of medical bill debt and have a chance at the American dream now.

Who Reaqlly Benefits From ObamaCare?

So, let me see if I understand you. You are in favor of Obamacare only because it has a direct impact on your son and grandson. So the millions of people who has lost their insurance, or are paying staggering premiums is immaterial as long as you or your family gets the benefits. How progressive and Liberal of you!

It is quite possible that he knows my age and overlooks my stupidity. Or two, I treat him with the same respect that I try to treat everyone. I hope that it is because I have treated him well and it is not just kindness on his part.

China and its people are very polite people. I would imagine that Ms. Obama, who has horrible manners, her daughters running amuck and demanding, with Ms. Obama's mother barking orders would wear any civilized people crazy. Say, who is paying for her mother? Would that be us, the US Tax payers?

America is fast becoming un-American. The displacement of Americans is coming from the South and also from Muslim cults. Muslims brag about "Capitols" they are setting up, and here is their current list:

1.Detroit
2.Washington, D.C.
3.Cedar Rapids, Iowa
4.Philadelphia
5.New York
6.Atlanta
7.Peoria, Illinois
8.San Francisco
9.Houston
10.Chicago

Mosques now equal or outnumber churches some 2 to 1. They estimate that there will be 4 to 1 by the end of this decade. This is a quote from an interview in Houston, TX "Muslims make up 1.2 percent of the population in Houston, about double the national average.

Im not surprised. I think it may be even higher, said Ameer Abuhalimeh, executive director of the Islamic Dawah Center in downtown Houston. Ive seen it increasing, growing dramatically. Weve made huge progress. http://blog.chron.com/believeitornot/2010/08/houston-among-the-top-10-muslim-cities-in-u-s/

Who Reaqlly Benefits From ObamaCare?

If you are just looking for the name of the author, it was MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber. He also helped with the Mass health care act. I have no idea, other than his 15 minutes of fame, what he will receive from his efforts.

Perhaps you might wan to contact him to ask what he gained:

It is sad, but the act of beheading is part of every history on the planet. Indeed even in this modern times, child sacrifice along with the brutal murder of captives is common practice in some primitive cultures. In Africa, there are those that believe that their god requires children and babies to be k**led for the betterment of their tribes. It is sad, but even in the Bible there are reports of beheadings. In 2004 a young man from Pennsylvania was beheaded and video taped; the video went v***l with millions of red blooded Americans watching it, as though it were entertainment. If you believe in the New Testament, there is a passage about the beheaded. "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. "
- Revelation 20:4. If what was spoke of in Revelations are true prophecy of the end times, then we should expect to see more of these crimes. Accordingly, this practice will be worldwide. With the spread of the cult of Muslim invasion of Europe and now of the US. It would seem to point in that direction.

Evangelical Christianity does not in any way shape or form regardless of how you want to try and twist it call for the beheading and or amputation of any person or thing, It doesn't call for the stoning to death of anyone, And it doesn't dictate a certain form of dress for women!!
Did you even read what you posted??

I did not focus on unemployment because it was not the topic of this topic. Would you enjoy a discussion on unemployment? If so, then perhaps I can comment if you start a new topic. I would find it interesting, and I think that my thoughts and research into the subject will add, rather than be a sidebar.

Unemployment, in my opinion, has many factors. But, I believe that unemployment results from an increase in demand rates, while the economy operates below its growth rate and potential output. Henceforth, the economy faces a great blow under this circumstance.

Yes, I am sure that there has been more than one topic that I have not read because of terms used. But, I have been posting to BoJester for months, he is always, without exception, been very forthcoming with information, polite, and easy to discuss issues. He has been attacked time and time again, and I find it very disingenuous of people who talk about religion, and call him name; talk about how we need to get along, but refuse to converse in a civilized way; they (and yes, even you) attack the messenger rather than the message. I know this will not endear myself to you, but I see that BoJester has a message he want to get across and it seems that the only way he can get your and other's attention is by starting his post with something that may upset you. Even this thread, where BoJester was not participating, he was attacked. Sad really when there are so many issues that need to be addressed.

I just went back through your comments, perhaps you should look at them from an outsider's point of view!

Bo,
What you say makes total sense to me. After I posted, I started researching foods, what is permitted on these programs and what is not; by these programs I am talking about the government supported WIC. Then income vice nutrition, and such. What I found opened my eyes. Breads, cereals, (carb loaded or fat loaded) foods are permitted on this program, and cost per item is significantly less than fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meat, and fresh fish. Fresh fish, one has to be careful, due to water pollution and lead. But, fresh ocean fish is very expensive and one on state or government programs will be less apt to buy one fish whereas they could afford 20 or more frozen meals....high in salt and fat. A family of 4 can not afford good wholesome foods on what is allocated under the government programs. Also I read about a condition that is called food poverty. Interesting. I will not go into detail, but here is a link to a study and paper. http://archive.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks/uu22we/uu22we0f.htm

Thank you for the post, and your reply. I do learn so much from your posts. Only because you make me research and think.
