I realize this may not be the typical post found in this forum, but I'd invite everyone to visit my new blog, Things I Shouldn't Have to Tell You, at thingsishouldnthavetotellyou.blogspot.com. It's written from a liberal progressive point of view, and I welcome your thoughts and comments.
Best,
John

Establishing yourself BEFORE pimping your blog/site/swingers club is always a good first step.
Come back when you open a swingers club.

Thank you so much for the kind welcome. Your suggestion is duly noted.
Best,
John

Here's another suggestion...
Go play in traffic.

Oh dear... he doesn't like us.

The GOP initially proposed individual mandates in order to avoid harming the private sector, which they felt would be irreparably damaged if employers had to assume greater financial burdens regarding their employee's health insurance.
Hey greenman .... this is from your blog. You later go on to say;
So what does all this have to do with my experience braving the dark and fetid interior of the Conservative Cave? Just this. Republicans/Conservatives aren't interested in a real discussion of issues, their only concern is in ramming their close-minded, bigoted views down the throats of the American public.
Please ... come enlighten me. I think I'm on the fence here and could be persuaded. For instance, in the quote above you talk about the financial burdens of the employers. Would you be so kind as to come enlighten me as to how that works?
I have employees .... can you tell me how I am to assume a greater financial burden?
Thanks in advance for your intelligent response.

thingsishouldnthavetotellyou.blogspot.com, you say?!?!?!
Hhmmmm,,.......things like, how the Country is being driven into the ground by a commie in the White House and is surround by outright commie/socialists?!?! How he hates capitalism and the freedoms we have in America?!? How he wants gays to marry and for everyone to smoke some "medical" marijuana?!?! Yeah, I already figured it out already, I'm good.

Hey n00b...please tell me that you were looking in the mirror when you called us close minded.
If you make the references you do about Rush, Boehner, Cantor etc you've learned NOTHING about what it means to be a Conservative.
-
I am a conservative - and have never listened to Rush , have no idea who the others are .
Don't even get Rush on any station that I'm aware of way down here.
You seem to think that all people who identify as conservative listen too American Talk Radio and somehow derive their beliefs from it , really?
Who's the bigot now.

The guy registered, post whored, trolled, and left--all in roughly an hour.
Yeah, he's got us ****ing pegged. What an ass-clown.
ETA: We'll see how long this stays up. My guess is not long.

Internet etiquette would normally require one introduces themselves and establish bona-fides before blog pimping. I'd still love to know how you get from your comments to the close-minded diatribe you just posted above based on your exposure to our site, which lasted less than, what, 30 minutes?
Either you're an analyst of exceptional caliber, or you're (once again) talking out your ass. I'm guessing the latter would be closer to the mark.
Were you interested in DISCUSSING issues with us rather than pimping a fetid corner of the Internet in a pathetic attempt at page hits, then we would be more than happy to discuss and debate with you in a reasoned, intelligent fashion.
Until then, piss off.
(NHSparky--yeah, that one.)

It's closer to fifteen minutes, but who's counting? :whistling:

He was last active almost an hour after he registered. Figured I'd give him benefit of the doubt, just in case.

Texacon: It means that in 1993, when discussing health care, Republicans felt that, faced with rising costs, passing increased premiums on to employers would harm the private sector. They therefore proposed a plan of individual mandates, in which individuals would assume increased responsibility for insurance premiums.
During the last health care debate, Democrats said, "We think you're right about individual mandates." It was at that moment that Republicans instantly reversed their previous position, taking a stance of "No We Can't," even on a platform they had previously supported. As they've consistently shown since then, they're unwilling to go along with Dems on any issue, even issues that they previously supported, as they continue to pursue an agenda of "Fail at any cost" where the President is concerned.

At what cost to the US taxpayer should complete medical care be granted to ALL?? You progressives never cease to amaze me. Y'all don't give a **** about what the REAL cost is or where the money comes from. Many of these people have done little or nothing to deserve a lifetime of health care. Does the health care system need to be re-vamped?? Without a doubt. That said, this is just another form of class warfare being introduced into the USA. The working class vs the Medical Professionals. IMO, were there no AMA and people could access certain medications on their own, sans "controlled" substances such as narcotics and amphetamines, life would be much better. It would also be nice were a persons medical insurance to cover such medications without a "prescription" from a Doctor. No, the AMA has their fingers in every little nook and cranny they can wriggle into.

The name for his healthcare....is Deathcare.... yes I want him to fail! When it comes a time that I can pay for medical treatment and I am told no.... bull!

Nah I think this was okay where it was in the Mind Numbing Stupidity forum...

Oh Dear Lord........ looking at this person's favorite books, it's clear that he's detached from reality. Doc Savage?? I read that when I was prepubescent. HP Lovecraft ?? Another prepubescent/ teenager type book. And in reading the other books he apparently enjoys, it seems as if he's an "Escapist", not wanting to face reality. The same can be said of the movies he likes. Finally, he's into "paganism"...... whatever trips his trigger, but, once again, it demonstrates that he has some sort of psychological disturbance when everything is added together.

Ah, the typical response of the illiterate and uninformed: When you can't challenge the message, attack the messenger. You've admirably supported everything I wrote about this forum.

We've been telling you that for over 40 years. You're just NOW figuring that out?
They therefore proposed a plan of individual mandates, in which individuals would assume increased responsibility for insurance premiums.
You mean with or without government footing/subsidizing the bill? You **are** aware of the history of how medical "insurance" was incorporated as a part of total compensation? And you **DO** realize who was the underlying force behind the HMO Act of 1973, do you not?
During the last health care debate, Democrats said, "We think you're right about individual mandates."
No you didn't. You just wanted someone else to pay for it.
It was at that moment that Republicans instantly reversed their previous position, taking a stance of "No We Can't," even on a platform they had previously supported.
Please tell us what GOP input was adopted in the healthcare bill. Please. Anything. Anything at all.
As they've consistently shown since then, they're unwilling to go along with Dems on any issue, even issues that they previously supported, as they continue to pursue an agenda of "Fail at any cost" where the President is concerned.
Gee, why would someone WANT to jump off the cliff, even if promised a nice cushy landing on the rocks below? What evidence do you have that the policies shoved down our throats by the Democrats and this president in particular are going to benefit those "little people" you so passionately claim to champion, m'boy?

Look at the post below your most recent one and try to dismiss it so easily. Who is paying for YOUR healthcare when nobody wants to pay taxes any longer?
-

I guess I'm one of the illiterate, oh wait I am writing this, and I did read what you wrote.
Well since I'm not illiterate, I guess I am uninformed. So, what am I uniformed about exactly? Sparky has stated what needs to be stated about the individual mandate. It was wrong then and is still wrong today.
As for attacking the messenger, what the hell have you done other than what you accuse those here of doing.
So why don't you try to engage in discussion with us simple, illiterate and uniformed members of this site.

You came here not to discuss or debate anything but beg us all to come post on your blog...your turf and your rules.
Real brave one you are.
You got the response you were begging for and now are whining about it.
Grow up and grow a pair.

I'm done with the turd. Either he comes here and comes correct, or I regard him as I do most other ri-tard liberals.

Way to completely misrepresent and rewrite history. When the republicans were talking about the public taking on more responsibility for their helathcare coverage in 1993...they were referring to letting them choose who they wanted to treat them and letting them have the freedom to decide which insurer would cover them. THAT is the Republican idea of an "individual mandate". Letting the people...with their spending power decide who they spend their money with.
To sit there and try to say that the Republicans have some how flip flopped in 17 years just because the Liberals are allegedly saying the same thing now is pure steaming crap.
Republicans and especially Conservative Republicans have never and will never go for the Socialized form of healthcare that you and the rest of the Socialist Dems in the U.S. are trying to shove down our throats.

Gee...like that meme hasn't been repeated ad nauseum across every show on MSNBC for the last 6 months.
:whatever:
How about the fact that every single time the republicans try to work across the aisle...to include with this Healthcare debacle...Speaker Pelosi and majority Leader Reid have said "Republicans need not apply"?
They have continuiously and purposely shut out the Republicans from being allowed to add any kind of amendment, andy wordking or even any input into any of the major bills that have been forced upon us pretty much since they took over the majority in Jaunary of 2007...but ESPECIALLY since jaunary of 2009.
For you to then sit there and say that the Republicans are purposely trying to block the agenda is pure ignorance on your part or complete and purposeful lie.
Either way you couldn't be more wrong.

Like I said, he only wanted to draw people to his blog. He is not, never was, interested in debate or an exchange of ideas.
Typical effete liberal snob. Do it on his terms or you're a racist, homophobe, sexist, uninformed, ignorant, etc., etc...

Pigs ass! I'm not gonna give him the unwarranted traffic on his blog site when I can hear the same thing he's gonna lip synch straight from the Libtards on the MSM.

It seems to prefer the controlled atmosphere of its own reality.

That person needs to find a nice padded room somewhere

Curiosity overwhelmed me and I perused his "site".
From his "About Me" page:
Previously, John worked as a radio talk show host, tarot card reader, comedy defensive driving instructor, sommelier, opera singer, and professional magician/escape artist, which are just a few branches on his twisted career tree.
The escape artist thing was mentioned already, but he apparently also was/is a tarot card reader.
I guess that's the thing that makes him "literate".
