Bernice: True. And Tuesday is wrong, people living in middle class homes practice better dental care than do those in poor homes. It's a statistical fact.
Snoopy and AD: Tooth Decay is a curse...some of our towns/cities have flouridation and some dont unfortunately....Only the people with money can afford to go private here, all the others there is a might waiting list...CHildren seem to have the worst teeth from sucking soft drinks (soda pops) thru straws....not enough water is drunk by the majority of the population, but then the flouridated water tastes foul anyway LOL...My tap water isnt nice if you drink it from the tap so I filter all water for cooking, and drinking. Makes it somewhat better to drink anyway :)
Sujet: Re: Us Demos aren't afraid of being Becked if we criticize each other.
Tuesday: How can you be a supporter of a political party that not only supports the butchering of the unborn, but works to make such butchering available to other countries at the US taxpayers expense?
In 1997 Obama opposed bill preventing partial-birth abortion.
Sujet: Re: Us Demos aren't afraid of being Becked if we criticize each other.
Tuesday: You didn't say "Obama" you said "each other." Sherrod would be that "other." AND, she was being criticized by fellow Dems AND the WH WAS AFRAID of being Becked.
Bernice: I wonder if Obama Care covers tooth decay? Among the poorest of children in the US, tooth decay is a huge problem. It's sad. But the problem isn't dental coverage, it's lack of personal care. That happens at home. Dental care is secondary (and important too). But many people simply don't take care of themselves (or their kids) and the rest of us will eventually be asked to pick up the tab.
On the one hand, I want the kids helped. It's not their fault. OTOH, I want people to be told that they have to demonstrate some personal responsibility. Cover kids but adult who are too lazy to take care of their teeth, I dunno. Where does personal responsibility and consequences come into the picture?
I have just gotten home from our local hospital after having blood taken for diabetes, I waited 1 1/2 hours to have it taken. They are so overworked it isn't even funny...Thank god I don't have tooth decay because it is a 18 months to three years waiting list to see the dentist at the hospital.
German is the only nationally official language, and the language spoken by the largest proportion of Austrians. A number of dialects are spoken. Austrian German is the catch-all term for German in Austria, which can differ from Standard German to the many local vernaculars.
Alemannic
Alemannic dialects are mainly spoken in Vorarlberg, and are quite divergent from Standard German. The Alemannic spoken in Vorarlberg can be further divided into the High Alemannic variety.
Austro-Bavarian
The majority of Austrian German-speakers speak dialects belonging to the Austro-Bavarian group, and there is little linguistic barrier between Austrians and those living in southern Germany.
It's so true. Most people can't understand Obama's exact position on matters without clarification. and without his teleprompter, he's all "um" and "ahh"

(V): "And as for the courts, judges do have the right to argue about the law, sentences and the like.. over here in poor ol' 'liberal' UK. Some do, some will also do in cases where it's more of a matter of personal feeling and not as such an illegal activity."
Yes, they interpret the law, often based on precedent. But the courts are not to make laws. The legislature makes the laws. And the courts don't legislate. They ought not to usurp constitutional authority. If they do, they are renegades and should be shot. At least ousted from the bench. They work for me by the way. Reply (box)
A Dim Bulb in the Oval Office? Herbert E. Meyer During his eight years in the White House, President George W. Bush was often described by liberals as being about halfway between an idiot and an imbecile. They told us he was so inarticulate -- so unable to express himself clearly -- that his very presence in the Oval Office was an embarrassment for the United States. Members of the White House press corps, spoofing a popular movie, called him the English Patient.
Yet no one, anywhere in the world, ever had trouble understanding what President Bush was saying.
President Obama, on the other hand, is invariably described by these same people as brilliant -- indeed, the most articulate carbon-based life form ever to have walked the Earth.
So how come every time President Obama opens his mouth to state his position on some issue -- as he did this weekend, speaking about his support for that mosque near Ground Zero -- the White House scrambles to issue a "clarification" -- followed less than a day later by an "elaboration" of the clarification?
Come to think of it, President Bush speaks twice as many languages as President Obama. (To be precise, two.) Oh, and in eight years President Bush never said anything even remotely as stupid as President Obama's comment that people in Austria speak Austrian.
Perhaps we should put less effort into forcing the release of President Obama's original long-form birth certificate, and more effort into forcing release of his IQ. Anyone want to take my bet that it'll be lower than George W. Bush's?

Czuch: I know. I can't believe how much money the government rips off on us. It's extortion. We have no choice but to pay for their stupid spending habits. They are reckless with our money. Most people just are uninformed and don't give a rip.
My son loves Obama. But he can't tell me why other than to say Bush was an idiot. That's what we're dealing with. I don't dislike Obama. But he's a bad president. His policies are bad. And if things keep progressing as they have, he will trample on the constitution. Big government is well on its way.
Bush messed up big time with big government. Reply (box)
Sujet: a great quote which most of you will not get
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
Sujet: Re:My point was you Repubs would go against Obama no matter what he did.
Tuesday: Not true. but being Obama, the WHAT that he does goes against the beliefs of MOST if not ALL conservative thinkers in the US. More people dislike him than like him.
Sujet: Re:I did a word serach on this board with the word "constitution" You have loads of posts accusing the Democrats and Obama going against the constitution.
Tuesday: Really? Then you should have NO PROBLEM posting 6 fine examples. Or are you simply lying?
Tuesday: Trouble is for bloggers nowadays is that some are getting lazy and not double checking what they are saying. If they do.. they get pounced on and declared to be crazy.
Sujet: Re:My point was you Repubs would go against Obama no matter what he did.
Tuesday: Pretty standard in politics, especially in a two party system. The Labour party was making out both the Tory's and Liberal Democrats were a dangerous element to elect and were point blankly using fear and half truths as a means to stir up votes for them.
Guess for those like me (as many others did feel) fear used as a means to gain votes is not a good sign, it shows how weak they feel their case is and how lost their cause is.
Artful Dodger: Quite frankly.. alot of the posts you have been posting from various 'blogs' ... "are dishonest and self-serving."... they hark at the tea party/right wing conservative cause without presenting a true statement of the facts.
I harp on the Democrats because they are destroying this country and Obama is the worst of them. They are dishonest and self-serving. And as I've shown in my posts below, these things are true of them. I gave current examples of corruption and dishonesty You are being lied to and you don't see it. That's because you refuse to consider the possibility.
What I have shown is a CONSISTENT PATTERN of wrong doing by Democrats. These are not isolated cherry picked incidents but business as usual for the Democratic party.
