Sarah Palin brought attention to "ACA" Sec 1233 in 2009. Called the Independent Payment Advisory Board, AKA "Death Panel"..Due to the controversy, it was removed from the Senate version of ACA in 2010. The super intelligent group of Obama's administration knows what is BEST for all of us. Will YOU be worthy of Medical Care when the time comes? This old man just wondering..

my e-mail address - Do you have to have a Microsoft Acct to continue to have access to an e-mail Hotmail acct that I have had for over 20 years?? Outlook is NOT supplying a "forgot" password option to reset NOR a MS email customer support contact address NOR a customer support phone# - Just a request to open a Microsoft Account. Any help anyone can give me to regain access to my Hotmail acct will be greatly appreciated.

The character of the people you closely associate with says a lot about your own character (IMO)

There is “lot” of money to be made from those connected inside with Obamacare (Soros, +?). 2 years ago You could have received a lot of gov’t funds by hooking up with some insiders and starting a “Green Energy” company for a few hundred thousand and then receive $millions from gov’t subsidies that me and you and other tax payers paid for. Then close down your useless business and enjoy the millions. The answers below would require an “invasion of privacy” but I sure would like to know the answers to relieve my Paranoia..Do you think Obamacare could HELP me...

"Hating Breitbart" - Must see if you have not seen it already. I did not view it when it first came out but someone, I believe it was here at FR, mentioned it was available on Netflix. I watched and was amazed at the man and his insight. The Film has more insight into the Acorn and other government corruption. He (Breitbart) was a "Danger" to many corrupt people in the Media and Government. IMHO - He did NOT die of natural causes - He was assassinated..

Your comments please on whether you agree or not on this American Voter Registration procedure. I consider myself a normal U.S. Citizen (my wife may disagree). Whether I am Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, African American (This is a term I disagree with since the “entire” Human Race is of African origin). All of the above should be termed “American” regardless of ethnicity. 1. Everyone of voting age and that is a legal US citizen that wishes to participate in voting in public elections, Federal and Local, should have an “authorized” Voter I.D. card. 2. The VID card could be obtained at...

<p>If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses and run by idiots.</p> <p>If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses and run by idiots.</p>

In a striking blow against freedom, the British government has banned us from entering the country. Muhammad al-Arifi, who has advocated Jew-hatred, wife-beating, and jihad violence, entered the U.K. recently with no difficulty. In not allowing us into the country solely because of our true and accurate statements about Islam, the British government is behaving like a de facto Islamic state. The nation that gave the world the Magna Carta is dead.

<p>Despite Israel's efforts to build a secure border fence, records indicate it is NOT 100% perfect..</p>

Recently retired, I have more free time to watch the news programs. My initial reactions to the recent Chicago-Way activities making the News was why was much of this information NOT brought up before the elections?. IMHO I believe that many in Congress (reps and dems) may want this administration gone soon. It will be much more difficult to impeach Obama than it was to impeach Nixon for various reasons. My wishful thinking is that "people" in the know have been saving their ammunition (proof of the various criminal activities) until it was a more suitable time for impeachment hearings....

In February, Texas announced that the state, along with the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum (TESCCC,) would enact major changes to the controversial curriculum management system dubbed CSCOPE.

I have been reading FR and other blogs for several years. I really enjoy reading the comments of others concerning different topics. FR has been excellent. A couple of the other blogs I like to read have recently made it difficult for me to read comments from other readers, Daily Caller and Gateway Pundit. Has anyone else had any problems getting to the comments section of these 2 blogs? Before there was no problem and I am wondering if the massive advertisement these 2 have may be causing the problem..I read a lot at work -- Do not inform my...

This is the statement he made I am referring to: Addressing Feinstein directly, Mr. Boston, who served tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, says he'll refuse to register his weapons and writes, "You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain." "I am not your subject," he continues. "I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant."

Five Idaho inmates are blaming alcohol for the crimes that put them in prison and are suing some of the nation's top liquor and wine companies for $1 billion. Keith Allen Brown, Steven Thompson, Woodrow Grant, Cory Baugh and Jeremy Brown all claim that alcohol led them to their crimes and they should have been warned of the beverages' addictive nature. "If I was not an alcoholic, the shooting would never have happened," Jeremy Brown said in his affidavit. Brown, 34, is serving a 20- to 30-year sentence for a 2001 shooting that seriously injured a man. The plaintiffs' crimes...

I am a Ron White example of “you cannot fix stupid”. Throughout my life I have made many financial mistakes. Academic background does not make you intelligent, just gives you the illusion of intelligence sometimes. I have reached SS retirement age and will have to depend on the government for my retirement funds. I earned it by paying into the system for near 50 years and now I will collect a little for hopefully a few years. All the mistakes I made were made by me, not someone else making my life decisions for me. I cannot understand how some...

Thoughts from a demented OLD mind.. I have thought for several months that this group in the administration would attempt anything to remain in power. Please read this comment below posted at Brietbart on 10/30 prior to reading Newt's comments. The article where this comment was posted was Billboard: America or Obama-You Can't Have Both.. Comment: C.O. Jones received a phone call from an old friend that has been in Washington D.C. for years and is fairly well-connected politically. What she told Jones was ugly and sinister, yet very compelling. She said she had received information from someone high up...

THE CARE BILL HB 3200 JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX - highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200 JUDGE KITHIL wrote: ** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally. ** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts. ** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union...

Well, about 2 weeks ago we learned that Congressman Paul Ryan, Republican from Wisconsin, is Mitt Romney's pick for the next Vice President of The United States. What are we to think of this selection? He's not a graduate of Columbia University. He's not a graduate of Harvard. He wasn't selected as the President of the Harvard Law Review. He didn't get a special free quota scholarship ride to any prestigious university and, instead, had to work his way through Miami University of Ohio. For God's sake the man drove the Oscar Mayer Wiener Truck one summer and waited tables...

I can go along with most of the suggestions, especially #3; #4; #5; #7; and #8.. Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it....

I see the term "bookmark" here frequently. Is there a way 'I can save responses pertaining to a post topic for later reference? Some responses have links to very interesting material I would like to be able to reference. Thanks in advance..
