If being overweight is being fat, yes I am, but not obese. I believe most everyone could lose a pound or two, don't you? Being overweight causes a lot of problems needless to say. No I don't waddle down the isles in WalMart like I see too many people do, it is disgusting to see where we are going with fast food, aka LARD! My Dad in the nursing home is 92 has a picture on the wall in his room taken back in the 30's of a CCC camp, about 200 men or so. Not one looks like they are overweight, except maybe the cook. We are what we eat! And we eat too much in my opinion. Being a diabetic I know about carbs, most people don't. This country is going down the tube. Our health care system is a mess, think about that the next time you order a BigMac with fries. The next time I see someone too fat to walk around in WalMart and using an electric chair because both of their cheeks weigh about 50 pounds each dragging on the chair wheels smoking I'm, going to remind them that gluttony is a SIN. Say Amen......On the other hand who has that right? You? Me? We are the so-called richest country in the world and we show it. Our Democracy shows it also. The DC trough where they hang out needs to be empty. The War Mongers are always hungry and they will take everything away from the people that feed them, US Peasants. Reply...
Are you fat Flapps? Lard will make you fat... Reply...
Andrew: Do tell us about coding system the Hospitals and Clinics are instituting and the cause of it. Reply...
Lets start with one in your state. MeritCare Health System is a not-for-profit integrated health care system headquartered in Fargo, N.D. Founded in the early 1900s as Fargo Clinic and St. Luke's Hospital, MeritCare has a rich 100-year history of community involvement and social accountability, including patient-focused care, regional outreach and the commitment to serve all who enter our doors.

So legal matters mean nothing to you? Reply...
GL~Name one that holds a not for profit status. Do check the small print on what is declared, also look up the holding group or corporate entity.

btw
Coding and red tape is created by Medicare (also known as govt intervention) Reply...
All medical hospitals and groups are now for profit,
and yet facts show this statement to be false.

I should have said "slander our troops and aid the enemy". Reply...
My father and many of my relatives served during war time. Our family has made great sacrifices. I hope libs are as offended by that statement as I am when they slander our troops.
I am in a 4th of July kind of mood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reply...
sg,
I tend to think that the reason that liberals hate to see young men join the military is because they know full well that these young men are real heroes and the kind of heroes that they wish that they were and the kind of heroes that they try very hard to make others beleive that they are. Worse yet, those who join the military are REAL men, again something that liberals wish that they could be. Liberal men are just a bunch of little girls born with the wrong junk. Reply...
So I have to ask why you are calling Barack Obama as "Hussein."
Jen:
If during WWII there had been a presidential candidate that was a socialist, that was a former Nazi, that was a supporter of the Nazis, that accused our troops of war crimes that never happened on a world stage, that belongs to a party that slanders our troops, that belongs to a party that hates our troops, that promised to surrender to the Nazis if elected, that is married to a woman that hates America, that attended a church that preached hatred for America, that attended a church that preached that we deserved Pearl Harbor, that was a racist and whose name was “Fred Hitler Jones”, I would probably call refer to him as “Hitler”.
In using his middle name (which is the same as the ruthless dictator that we overthrew and the same as many of the 9/11 hijackers), I am questioning his patriotism and who’s side he is on. It’s not about the name, it is about the character of the man. Simple as that.

Blmmcar, and its the same LIBERALS that HATE when young people make the decison to sign up for military service. Reply...
