You ask a good question. I know of a book called "American Mobbing," which looked at mob violence in the antebellum period, which was almost exclusively related to slavery. I detail in my book "Banking in the American South" a knife fight (!!) on the Arkansas House floor that left one guy dead in a "debate" over . . . wolf pelts. And remember Preston Brooks caned Sen. Sumner badly in the 1850s, nearly killing him, on the floor of the U.S. senate.

For one particular reference, though, no. I suggest you just go to Amazon and enter "political discourse history" and it will give you plenty of books.

Is the End Of Life counseling mandatory or not?? My coworker a big Obama supporter says it’s a myth and is NOT mandatory. Anyone know if this is true or not??

Here is a link to a long list of page and line references in the House Bill.

The real problem is that this “counseling” is a back door to eventually “insist” that the patient take palative/hospice care instead of treatment that the ObamaCare Plan sees as too expensive.

“This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The people of Lebanon, PA are my heroes. I am getting chills watching this as well. I picked a great day to be home sick. Of course, I know Pelosi will spin this as “these are not real constituents...they are too intelligent.”

Me, too. I was clapping at the TV.

It’s so liberating to FINALLY see at least one of those arrogant, Commie-wannabe SOB’s in Congress stood up to by the American people.

And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy than my own Senator.

I don’t think I’d be able to speak as controlled and coherently as she did though - I’m so angry.

I agree. I think the cops would have to gun me down, because I would be going at the Senators throat with both hands.

I will say this so far I like most of Specter's answers, he said he will not support a bill that raises the deficit or gives coverage to illegals or provides money for abortions or taxes on companies currently providing coverage.

Why should anyone believe this guy????

I certainly don't....

...no health care to illegal immigrants says Arlen.........because he knows full well that they're going to make all the illegals legal before the healthcare bill takes effect....

Nice take, Toni.

The spiraling rage at "the healthcare reform scam" is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s (1) Obama’s endless Czar politburo, (2) the loathsome Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs, (3) Third World takeover (amnesty/illegals/La Raza/ Sotomayor), (4) smarmy Barney Frank posturing on finance issues, (5) Sen Dodd getting off scot-free VIP mortgages,

(6) ACORN's tax-paid Civilian Security Force, (7) trillion dollar bailouts of bonus-rich businesses vacationing at luxury resorts, (8) a self-absorbed jetlining Congress more concerned with perks and privileges than constituents’ concerns,

(9) Americans' disgust with being called Astroturf, The Brooks Brothers Brigade, being told to "get out of the way."

LISTEN UP TAXPAYERS Obama/Rahm are purposefully antagonizing large groups in middle America, goading us into civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law. Obama gave ACORN billions to form a Civilian Security Force to silence the populace, and march us to reeducation camps.

Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome COS staff Rahm Emanuel are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.

If these two arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

I think a medical database is much more difficult. I’ve worked with databases for inventory & it’s simple fields for simple data. Our IRS data would be similar - name, address, income, etc. A medical database would have to have lots of text. That’s not so easy in a database. My friend didn’t really go into what issues they couldn’t address, but that’s my take on it.

“When you’re a Dem”

When you’re a Dem,
You’re a Dem all the way
From your first House vote
To your last dyin’ day.

When you’re a Dem,
If the spit hits the fan,
You got brothers around,
You’re a big union man!

You’re never alone,
You’re never disconnected!
You’re home with your own:
When company’s expected,
You’re not well protected!

Then you’re in debt
With a capital D,
Which you’ll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you’re a Dem,
You stay a Dem!

"Me, too. I was clapping at the TV."

You weren't alone. I clapped loudly when that one guy told Specter to go back to Washington and introduce a term limits Bill. That was priceless.

If anybody wants to see another Specter performance, he’ll be in Lewisburg tonight (Bucknell U) and at State College tomorrow. Moonbat territory, so he can rack up some good media moments.

The college crowd, if they attend, will be friendly to the ‘rat positions.
