Why Is America Allowing Obama To Lead Us Into Socialism?

R.A. Shipman — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:11:01 GMT

Here we go with the selfish self centered hate speeches. What is wrong with "socializm"? Go back to the school books and learn what true socializm really is! Health care isn't what you think. I was a single mom, worked 60 hours a week, had no health, dental, or eye care. Lost my home and equity. Please, stop with the idea that people that need medical are lazy. My kids and I went without all care for many years and no raises and no vacation from this job. I ended up in the hospital to the tune of $60,000 and was told I was going to die. Why? Couldn't even afford a doctor or presciptions. My money went for my kids to eat and have a roof. This crap has to stop as you all sit high and might above it all without true knowledge of what it is like. It won't cover illegals for crying out loud. Not that I have any hatred for illegals, cause I don't. Americans are the most productive in the world yet can't afford medical and that just isn't right. You people need to look into your soul (hoping you have one) and start caring about others. Being ugly and selfish is horrible and not Christian or any other religion. All of this manure was spread for social security and medicare.. If you feel so strong about socializm, DON'T collect either of them.

Please fleas are bitting us badly in the home what too

Charlotte — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:40:09 GMT

I used to have that problem with cats and dogs. I went to the vets and got flea bombs as they worked better than the ones I bought at the grocery store (which didn't work at all). I removed my animals and bombed the house and followed directions. Then get the drops from the vet to apply monthly to the cat between the shoulder blades. Advantage worked pretty good. It is a true pain but if you keep up with the cat Advantage, it will soon be controlled. Cats pick up fleas from the grass outside during the summer. I now keep my cat indoors to keep her safe and healthy. When I was a breeder, I also sprayed my yard but with only 2 pets now, it is controlled with the drops. I do not like to use pesticides but to get a jump on fleas, this is what I had to do and then had them controlled for good

It is time to start fresh, with a new day of peace and justice.

WTF??? I thought this was a good site but I am not going to tolerate illiterate idiots. No facts, no intelligence, no education, no idea of what has just happened to our country for 8 years. Yesterday it was hate for the Jews and now this idiot. Think not as I just don't need to put up with it. When this goes back to being an intelligent exchange of thought, let me know. Oh, and the little things called "FACTS", not hate

Abortion 'explicitly' covered under ObamaCare ...

Moosemose — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:45:35 GMT

OMG, abortion is LEGAL. The right to life people think nothing of killing doctors that help women. Late term abortions are usually done in case of health problems but no one will listen to facts. I have never seen such useless protesters in my life....ugly mean violent. God does not believe in this violence or killing of other people. How in the world do ya all live with yourselves. Abortion should be covered under medical if it is a life or death situation. You would have a woman carry a dead child til she dies of infection? Do you realize a woman that suffered rape or incest would be reminded daily of the event as she looked at the child. Some can overcome, some can't. Do you want that child to suffer because the mother has problems dealing with incest or rape? If it is all about children, then ya better rethink their lives growing up in bad situations done by others. I have never seen such cold hearted blind ignorant people as the pro life people. Obama is trying to cover women that have life and death health problems. Stop screaming your bull and argue with facts on health care. You don't walk in that womans shoes so you know nothing,,,,,NOTHING. God has said "Judge not lest ye be judged". I am positive God would be angry at your killing of medical people and bombing clinics with no thought to the innocent. You don't know why women go into the clinic. Not all of them are looking for abortions but you don't care. God have mercy on all of you violent fools..

Social Security - another bailout in the making ...

Moosemose — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:54:08 GMT

This would NOT be a bail out. It would be to repay 8 years of I.O.U.'s. If you check further, you will find that they have played with SS way back since Reagan. They move it around to make the income look bigger and debt smaller. Then they actually started using the monies for war and whatever but it is full of IOU's. I am so tired of the lying from politicians and the press carries the lies to make them look real and scare the hell out of seniors. My own Dad was fearful and I told him as long as we work, money will be going in to SS. I now get SS but not qualified for medicare but it is about $250 a month because I was forced to work low pay jobs to support 2 kids. Did what I had to do to fit circumstances. And no, did not get welfare or help from anyone, not even child support.

By the way, this isn't a hate site for people to condemn Jews or anyone else. Your info is flat ignorant. We don't give SS to illegals and won't in the future. We have freedom of religion so Jews are free to practice their religion just like anyone else that may be muslim or buddist. That, fool, is what this country is all about. Read your constitution or have someone explain it. We have hate crimes in this country and a law needed to be made. It was NOT the Jews that had the law made. It was a moral decision.

Can you believe Cash For Clunkers is a government scam to gain access to your computer?

Fair And Balanced — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:05:17 GMT

Good God, these people need to find a real job. If they want my email, I have sent enough of them to the white house and congress to let them know my feelings so I don't give a rip. I have stopped listening to the whacko's out there like Faux news and anyone else that is crazy. I am a registered voter, outspoken on issues, study and research info, listen to others (unless they are nuts like these people). This only shows how far down the drain our education has gone and the years it has been overlooked by state and national. Half these people are not educated and the others are trouble making liars. They raise my blood pressure with the lying and making up crap. I am willing to help pay for health care, I bought a new car last year so this won't help me, I am willing to help this country in any way to rebuild after 8 hateful years and lazy congressmen. Our system is corrupt and these corrupt people are afraid, very afraid they will get caught... But then, during the Bush admin, the Supreme Court ruled it was "okay" to lie when running for office. Where is our country that had standards and morals and scruples????

I planted radishes in a container and they came up ...

sassilady — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:35:28 GMT

Radishes usually take only 28 days til eating. Your radish tops are probably being eaten by bugs or slugs (maybe even mice or squirrels) but the red top of the radish should be showing at the top of the soil. Did you plant them too deep or too close? You should always plant a few 5-7 days apart so you will have fresh ones all the time. Mine have always grown out of the soil at the top. You have time to plant again. My sister and I planted these in containers and they turned out wonderful (don't over water the last few days but check them.) We did it cause she had chickens and ground squirrels that ate the tops so we put them up high on a table. There are many types of radishes. We like the long white ones that have a little kick but we plant all kinds. Some grow deep like the icicle ones and others grow 1 inch around and need a little room to fatten up. Keep them moist the first half of the growing and then start to cut back as they expand. Too much water will make them crack but eatable. Dig down and pull out any you may have and then start over.

I've given up for this season

Jessi/ Mommy — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:39:08 GMT

Wave petunias are great for baskets. I don't think you have to dead head these. If I were considering pulling up everything in the fall, that's what I would do but cover the area with black plastic to keep anything from growing back. Then early spring I would order or buy a truckload of 3 or 4 way soil to add to the soil you have. Sometimes they only allow you to buy a sh#t load but most nurseries will let you buy by the truck (pick up) load or bags. Incorporate it thoroughly into the soil. If you don't know what seeds you are planting, try doing it in a pot first. However, when it comes to vines, be very careful cause some will totally take over. I like honeysuckle for hummingbirds but I stake them up and watch them so they don't overgrow. Most all vines need to be staked up on something, trellis, fence, wire, net etc. I know how you feel when you want a landscaper. I hope you have some help with the garden cause I don't and it looks like it. You can go onto web sites that let you plan out your own landscaping and other sites that carry perennials or annuals. Perennials come back every year but most don't bloom all summer. That is where annuals are the color blessing for all of us. Many sites will show you what to plant in shade, or full sun and in between... Established gardens carry both perennial and color spots. Perennials are great for back ground. Bulbs are great but short lived and can be used as a background too so it hides the dying greens from bulbs (don't pull out dying greens as they feed the bulb for next year). Figure out if you want to attract birds, butterflies or nothing. A water sound is also great near a patio or backdoor with herbs or annuals and attracts birds.

When growing watermelons are you supposed to pull off the female flowers?

Jack & Laurie — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 03:32:24 GMT

I have grown watermelons only twice. Didn't know anything about this but did have watermelons. Not big one. Right now am trying to grow another type melon for my grandkid, however, the squirrels keep digging them up
