Who the hell is he talking about? Why don't they say who is coming to his house?
Megyn Kelly used the word EMPATHY. *insert gasp and faint*
Pelosi did not call your son un american and BTW, President Obama has said over and over he wants every American to have the same health care coverage, the government provides him, his family and all those in congress.
1) I have Blue Cross / Blue Shield Insurance. Generally speaking that's considered GOOD COVERAGE. Some of the best.
2) My two sons have autism.
3) Insurance will not cover ONE PENNY of their treatment - which amounted to just under $30,000 in 2008.
There are currenlty only 14 states where an autistic childs will have their speech therapy services covered by insurance. And in every case, that is becuase state gov't passed a law MANDATING that coverage. (And no, I don't live in one of those states, but Michigan is getting close.)
So even when it works, it only works when the gov't force it to!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!
I do not know what the hell is wrong with people. Why the hell are they not outraged over the millions spent on those worthless F22,s? Why they would rather see their tax dollar going for something like that and not for health care coverage.
For some reason I can not pull up that web site you listed above..darn.
Let me try that link again. It's a great read...

I currently work between the middle east and Europe, and guess what most of these places has "socialized health care" and though the citizens of these countries will tell you it's not perfect, they will also tell you that they would rather have the imperfect "socialized care" rather then no care at all. And they have the option of going else where to private clinics and such if they don't want it...Why can't we be the same, GIVE US THE CHOICE!
What a freakin' ego.
He makes no distinction between the illegal actions of an indvidual (the threat he claims he suffered) and a coordinated effort by our government to strike fear into he and his family. To him, they are one and the same. That kind of thinking is inherently dangerous to the safety of the public.
Sadly, we may not have heard the last of this man, and I sudder to think what the future breaking news about him may be... and the life or lives that entertaining his paranoia, without confronting it, will have cost us.
When a person loses insurance or is denied coverage, we point to that as examples of why the system is broken and in need of reform. Becuase this idiot is fighting that much needed reform, I say, "He deserves whatever he gets."
Personally I hope he get's laid off, gets cancer, and the is denied coverage in his next job do to preexisting condition. And I don't have anything against the man himself, but ANY defender of the current HC system deserves no better. In fact they're asking for it - FIGHTING for it.
My father had "special filters" installed on our houses water sytstem to prevent "government added chemicals" like flouride. Why? Because a door to door water purifier salesman told him, "we don't know what the government is doing to our water."
It makes me laugh, when I think of these two examples. Why? Because, I remember the first time my parents signed on to a health policy that would cover our family by a door to door insurance salesman.
So, one guy left a message?---voice mail, letter? Not too sure since the details get real vague real quick.
But none of that matters---by the end of the day it will be bands of armed liberal thugs roaming the the country and dragging good God-fearing Americans out of their beds in the middle of the night.
Then, by the end of the week, the MSM will have picked up the theme and start including the lie into their so-called liberal coverage.
Also: I love the fact that he has no idea who Steny Hoyer is, he brings up the Nancy Pelosi "private jet" talking point, and seems to be completely unaware that government employees are already on a government health care plan.
That means he's just a few short years away from the evil government run health care program known as medicare.
These Joe the Plumber types are quite disturbing.
Um, no. I'm sorry your kid is sick. I have kids myself. But health coverage reform is about giving you more choices, not fewer. One of those choices will be run non-profit, which will hopefully bring everybody's costs down.
Was it someone from the Obama administration who visited you in the dead of night? Let me guess: no ID, no uniform, no idea where they were really from? Probably remnants of Cheney's assassination squad, just running around randomly threatening people. I find this explanation far FAR more likely than that President Obama himself took time out of his busy day to send someone to your home to threaten your family, based solely on the aims the two different administration have pursued.
Yes, I'd love to find out the name of his insurer although I suspect I already know.

Here is the column he was referring to. Written by Betsy McCaughey.
It is likely, given his 'evidence' that he was just a bit too scared to scratch the backwards 'B' on his cheek as a sign of his real affiliation.
Liar liar, pants on fire!
There is another question here also too! Hahaha...couldn't help that! This misinformed guy threatened "by any means" necessary to defend against an unknown enemy. I wish that person or something to that effect, he said,threatenning violence to someone or something . Should a news station be allowing that kind of threat to go out on their airwaves? Hasn't violence taken place and havent some advocated arming themselves and taking care of business? Suppose this guy is psychotic and winds up shooting someone as someone has already said, what is the responsibility of the channel in all this. Shouldn't they have checked out the story more, or made it clear that the views about picking up a weapon and/or taking the law in to your own hands was that of this individual and not that of the station? Infact the station did the opposite they pllayed up the sympathies and rationalized his behavior. How low can FAUX go?
The concerned Father has expressed every American' sentiment concerning Healthcare change in this country. I support his courage to speak out concerning his concern. I totally understand his frustration. When speaking out his concern the congress person tended to express just how it was in his best interests that the health reform plan should be implemented. This total lack of empathy on the part of our representatives is disheartening.
