This is an excerpt from a medical report, the report is too long to post here:

If I did, most of you would tell me that you will not read it. But here is the excerpt from a very long medical study done on the world's vaccines especially the H1N1 and flu vaccine:

President Obama and his top health officials are engaging in a major public relations effort to divert attention away from whether its swine flu vaccine is effective and safe by focusing attention on whether there is enough of it to go around. And the media is cooperating fully.

Increasing numbers of scientists and doctors are issuing harsh criticisms of the government's plan to vaccinate virtually the entire U.S. population with a poorly tested vaccine that is not only ineffective against swine flu, but could cripple and even kill many more people than it helps.

The CDC's public relations campaign has been running "scare" ads that portray swine flu as a full-blown "pandemic" responsible for snuffing out countless lives. But scientists and health officials throughout the world have called the governments claims unjustified and deliberately misleading.

How many of you believe the CDC? How many of you have mad cow disease?

Some healthcare math.

It buged me that everyone says "healthcare" then talks about "insurance" rather than the cost of medical treatment. I went looking for some figures, without insurance in them, just to see what government would have to pay for once they take it over.
Acording to the CDC website (center for disease control & prevention) health care costs the US 2.1 trillion in 2006. Of that hospitals are 31%, nursing homes 6%, physicans 21%, and drugs 10% for a total of 68% not counting insurance or any other expenses. Do the math and that leaves 1.428 trillion in medical treatment expenses government will have to tax us to pay for. THAT'S BEFORE THEY HIRE A PERSON TO ADMINSTER THE WHOLE THING.

At kaiserEDU.org they had the expense at 2.2 trillion for 2007 then went ahead to say that represents $7421 per person. A quick check with the Census Bureau showed that to divide out just about right with the US 300,000,000+ population.

So before government adds any cost of administration, the expence of current medical treatment for every man, woman and child will be 68% of $7421 or $5046 each. That means some how some way government will have to tax the average family of four $20,184 a year to give us all FREE health care.

Why do vegans think it is so wrong to eat an animal or animal byproduct but its ok for other animals

to hunt other animals and eat them. What is so wrong with eating an animal byproduct? If a vegan has a baby are they not going to breast feed because its the same thing as drinking cows milk, a cow had to have a calf to produce the milk. I dont see how the views of a vegan make sence. God put animals on this earth for us to eat. Its called the food chain people. I have personally raised and killed my own animals for food with out that and hunting my family would have gone hungry.

Why are people so disrespectful? My wife and I were having a few people over to hang out, just

play cards, watch a movie, etc. When they asked us if they could bring anything we said no we have it covered. They know we are both vegans so it wasn't like it was a surprise to them. But when they arrived they came with pepperoni pizza and chicken wings! We do not allow any meat in our house, it stinks, and the thought of having dead flesh in our home makes my wife and I sick. We asked them if they could please eat those things outside as we do not allow it within the house. They seemed upset but abided, we already had tons of food prepared but of course they barely touched it because they were stuffing themselves with dead carcus'. Even after we told them to eat their stuff outside they still were walking in and out of the house with chicken wings or pizza slices in hand. Why can't people respect other people's homes? I know if I went to their home and knew they didn't allow smoking in their home I would not be walking in out of their house with a cigarette in my hand, as it is completely disrespectful to them. Nevertheless my wife and I are very angry. Just yesterday they called and asked if we wanted to join them on vacation during the holidays, we said we would get back to them, but we have pretty much agreed we do not want to hang out with such disrespectful people. Have you ever had guests disrespect you like this?

But I Thought Housing Them Here Would Destroy America?

THOMSON, Ill. - Some folks in this dying Mississippi River town would rather take their chances with suspected terrorists in their backyard than watch their neighbors continue to move away in despair over the lack of jobs.

News that the federal government may buy the nearly empty Thomson Correctional Center and use the maximum-security state prison to house Guantanamo Bay detainees has given people in Thomson hope that things might be about to turn around in this woeful town of 450.

"This town is slowly but surely dying off, and I mean that literally because the people that are retired are dying off and there's no young people coming back in to take their place. There's nothing here to draw them," said Richard Groharing, a 68-year-old retired Florida corrections officer who was born in Thomson, a farming community about 150 miles west of Chicago.

+++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++

OK. I'm confused. I thought bringing these super terrorists to America and trying them here was a threat to New Yorkers.

And I thought if we housed them here they would convince all the other Americans in the prison to join up with Team Jihad and become super terrorists too. And then they would kill us all in the name of Allah.

So are the people of Thompson IL not traitors? Should the town be sent before the House Committee on Un-American Activities?

Let's all go rogue with Sarah Palin today

Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue: An American Life" is release today. Publisher HarperCollins had ordered a first printing of 1.5 million books (that is a very big initial print by the way)

This book has been on many bestseller's list since September. It is currently #1 on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestsellers. This book is going through the roof! This is going to cement her for a strong run in 2012.

Are you planning to go rogue with Palin?
