So I went nuts on the local fire department this morning . . . twice.
 There's a very good chance I will now be known as the crazy lady who lives up the hill. I stopped to get gas this morning and noticed the local firefighters there, in uniform, collecting money for something. I assumed it was an equipment drive until one of them approached me to help fill the boot. As it turned out, they were trying to raise $5,000 for a local woman just diagnosed with leukemia who can't even get to see the doctor she requires until there's cash on the barrel head. It struck a nerve and after I donated and filled my car with gas, I pulled back around and went off on them about voting Democratic and universal healthcare. I ranted and raved for a good 5 minutes solid - I just couldn't shut up. They kind of stood there nodding, their jaws hitting the ground and said nothing. So I left. My next stop was the local store to pick up a paper and wouldn't you know . . . there was another group raising funds there. Once again, I went into overdrive and gave the people a rundown of McBush's healthcare nonplan and told them if they knew anyone who wasn't paying attention, they had to wake them up. I have no idea if these people were Republicans or Democrats, but I made a point of telling them people shouldn't have to beg for healthcare. Now, if only I can get my blood pressure back with a normal range. I'm generally a mild mannered, soft spoken, pleasant old thing, but I just went berserk over this poor woman's situation.

Chase her even when she's yours.

Uh...is she also aware that typically on Labor Day Weekend, firefighters around the nation "pass the boot" to raise money for MDA as well?

And how much money did she donate? 
25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.

Nice find!  The first anecdotal story from a DUmbass that I believe.


Smart money says they were calling her the crazy lady who lives up the hill long before this incident.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

She's lucky the firefighters didn't take her to the crazy hospital.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Fixxed.

You know what "universal" (aka socialist) health-care brings, DUmp monkeys?  More of the same because it will bring about the formation of groups of people who don't know or care about you who will decide if your leukemia or whatever affliction you have is worth spending money on for treatment.
