Voter mentality . . . ?
On the news it was reported that a man punched his girlfriend because he thought she was being unfaithful. He saw a picture of a man on her Facebook page that he didn't recognize. The girlfriend was not being unfaithful . . . it was a picture of Mitt Romney. And this is a voter?
And you think it is bad now . . .?
The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that in 2015 the country will have 62,900 fewer doctors than needed. And that number will more than double by 2025, as the expansion of insurance coverage and the aging of baby boomers drive up demand for care. Even without the health care law, the shortfall of doctors in 2025 would still exceed 100,000. Health experts, including many who support the law, say there is little that the government or the medical profession will be able to do to close the gap by 2014, when the law begins extending coverage to about 30 million Americans. It typically takes a decade to train a doctor.
“We have a shortage of every kind of doctor, except for plastic surgeons and dermatologists,” said Dr. G. Richard Olds, the dean of the new medical school at the University of California, Riverside, founded in part to address the region’s doctor shortage. “We’ll have a 5,000-physician shortage in 10 years, no matter what anybody does.” Experts describe a doctor shortage as an “invisible problem.” Patients still get care, but the process is often slow and difficult. In Riverside, it has left residents driving long distances to doctors, languishing on waiting lists, overusing emergency rooms and even forgoing care. “It results in delayed care and higher levels of acuity,” said Dustin Corcoran, the chief executive of the California Medical Association, which represents 35,000 physicians. People “access the health care system through the emergency department, rather than establishing a relationship with a primary care physician who might keep them from getting sicker.”

What is a woman?
I'm afraid any woman who would condone the display of a newly-aborted baby as described in this article, is hardly the definition of a woman. To me, being a woman should be a nurturing, compassonate calling and to rejoice in the death of a human being, is a tragedy and a sad sign of how our world are disintegrated.

Said as a joke but, unfortunately, too much truth to it.
One day the U.N. Secretary General proposes that, in the interest of global peace and harmony, the world’s soccer players should come together and form one United Nations global soccer team.
“Great idea,” says his deputy. “Er, but who would we play?”
“Israel, of course.”

Who protects your freedoms?
All the uproar about a restaurant owner stating that he is in favor of traditional marriage has certainly brought out the nasty in a lot of people especially the Hollywood crowd. One, in particular, has gone from just disrespecting others' viewpoints to dismissing our military as people being on the 'dole'. I find that horribly offensive as these people fight our wars, put their lives on the line, suffer separation from their families in the line of duty, and live on salaries that are probably lower than what they could get in the public sector.
The amusing part is that while these unfeeling idiots are slamming the military, they never stop to realize that the fact that they are weathly and able to speak their mind on this is because our military fights in some way every day to preserve this freedom.
I guess one has to realize, however, that these types often feel that whatever offensive things they say comes under their freedom of speech rights while any opposition is just, plain mean-spirited.
