Both Little D and Stan D are Tea Party Conservatives---who are nothing more than mules with blinders on so they won't eat the crop they are plowing . . .

Stan--- You are a 2-2X4 mule my Granddaddy dealt with = it takes a big stud to get his attention across his hard head and another to get the message across. If 2 blows should kill him ~~~~ all you lost was an aggravating and hard headed feed eater who would not obey his smarter owner . . .

To the Tea Party Coalition of readers:

"I am now copying Stan's abject hate of anything other than his kind of Conservatism. I express it in clear and simple terms like the Publisher~~~no logic, just bombast, folks . . .

It is almost as good a the Walmart way of not paying a penny in Federal Taxes and hiding their assets and profits from the IRS and Stockholders with their Luxembourg Shell Corps formed in the last 2 years!

Almost as good as our Governor and NC Legislators saying the Middle Class taxpayers are saving money under them ~~~ THEN every person I talk with says their State Taxes have been higher! My small business does NOT have the $50K incentive to buy new equipment with a tax credit --- YET the rich can still get a big credit for their new corporate private jet!

"Wealthfare" is what many are calling such . . .AND 1% now have 80% of all US wealth! Sounds like the Old World our ancestors gladly left behind to me!

Stan--- what's with the Emory stuff??? You have another writer who loves Tea Party Republicanism / I say is it the Rush Limbaugh sickness / you come back with an Emory blast and then tell him he is getting a bunch of views.

I see things in a different way then both of you. I write some intelligent comments encouraging a deeper look. You are starting a mud-slinging contest over a reasoned approach to a better kind of political way involving some COMPROMISE!

Can this start over without your huff-and-puff???

This post now has almost 3,000 views. I spoke with Jimmy by phone on Friday. He is to undergo chemotherapy at our local Washington hospital. The blood clots in his legs are responding to the medication. To the best of medical science there is no magic solution for liver cancer.

HOWEVER---I cling to the statement an Oncologist in Columbia SC always shares with the worst cancer-invaded patients: "You have a 99% chance you will die from this." The patients say, "What is the 1% chance, sir?" Then he shares the truth: "I have seen others with such dire disease and the 1% is for the miracles God has provided to them!"

Where is the stamp that says: CONSERVATIVES ARE STUPID AND WILL NEVER ADMIT IT

The WMD stuff was off questionable intel and we had satellites flying over Iraq which can detect tire marks on the ground = they had some Serine gas invented by Germans to exterminate Jews they DID NOT have rockets big enough to do more than they did to their own populace.

Saddam's sons also had a chipping machine they towed behind their personal truck. All the current and past fear-mongering is nothing but Conservatism fear gone wild.

The Stand Down which countermanded the Standing Order had to be given by Bush or Cheney. National Security will keep it hidden for the same years as the Kennedy Assassination. Truth has a way of bubbling up and out despite the attempted cover.

Why don't we all deal with basic issues of why Ben Laden was the known criminal and Georgie Bush made it Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile Dick Cheney and his companies got rich as other US despots of corporatism over private contracting in the Middle East.

If your simple minds can dare to admit it --- war is hell / war makes people rich / war is the basic drag down to deficite budgets since 9/11. Here are the facts on WAR: watson.brown.edu

Stan is a typical legalistic Pharisee --- whom Jesus took a whip to for non-caring money-making on religion and Conservatism!!!

I found out today that the free ticket to Historic Bath requires on go to the Smithsonian website and get the ticket available there for Bath. All over America on September 26, historic sites get a boost from Smithsonian.

Stan---your prejudice and lack of reason is showing, my friend!!! Had Clinton struck from out of the blue with no proof of his attempt before it was attempted---your jerk buddies in Congress would have quit trying to impeach him over the Monica Cigar and accused him of aggression without provocation.

Somehow you never get that any so called "Liberal" is a Patriot just like you . . .

Your mule blinders are especially showing today, buddy!!!

Were this kind of logic used in NC back in the 1970's --- there would be NO Research Triangle Park / NO Eastern NC medical School at Greenville --- both of which gave a big boost to the NC economy and growth!

Apply this same logic to the Space Program and there would be no miniaturization of electronics which now gives an I-phone far more computing power than the ones used to land on the moon.

As George Bernard Shaw wisely stated: "Conservatives are our Contemporary Ancestors!"

This was a pivotal day which could have been prevented, folks!

We had much information there was a "Planes Plan" afoot. NC had a connection in that one or the culprits was a Chowan College student made fun of by others for his daily prayer activities. Students even stole his shoes removed to pray!

Chowan is a small Baptist College in Murfreesboro; just to then north of Beaufort County!

The big UNANSWERED QUESTION is "How did 4 clearly hijacked commercial planes fly over the most air-based part of this country and the Standing Order was to intercept and force down any aircraft without its transponder showing on the radar screens of the FAA?"

In part, it was a fiasco of our own negligence to be vigilant under George Bush. The Standing Order needs no new order. HOWEVER, it can be countermanded by the highest level of Military Command = George Bush / Dick Cheney. . .it is an automatic plan of action when an air threat is present!!!

Next, came the big lie to make Iran and Saddam Hussein the target of US revenge. Sure, he was a despot, but had nothing really to do with the actual event and Osama ben Laden. In fact, the Bush friendship with that Big Oil family got then a quick exit on military airlift command planes we paid for with our taxes!

The long term biggest effect of 9/11 is lowering the Due Process Standards of our freedoms so we can now be constantly monitored. I have gotten a visit and threat of "you should retain Legal Counsel" from the Homeland Security / Secret Service folks who visited with me --- holding Western Union receipts in their file folder over my innocent sending of money to someone in Africa!!!

A free nation with constitutional protection of privacy is no longer a reality --- as a direct result of 9/11. The Gestapo and German Democratic Party (Nazi) party worked steadily until people were in Concentration Camps who were not Pure Aryans! Any who protested their loss of free speech had to leave for American and England.

The, now famous, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was imprisoned and hung. His most famous statement was: "When they came for the Professors I did not speak up---I was not a Professor. When they came for the Jews I kept quiet---I was not a Jew. When they came for me---there was no one left to speak up for me!"

What happened to this article on Politics and Peanuts --- up one day / gone the next??

The far more important thing to note is the Consumer Protection powers of the NC Insurance Commissioner's Office. Instead of hiring an expensive lawyer to represent you, you have the best lawyer in NC by filing a formal complaint over the way you have been treated by any insurance company doing business in NC.

Insurance is a contract for which you pay your premium. The company must do as the contract specifies. If you feel any company has not honored their contract, you file a formal compalint on the website of the NC Insurance Commissioner stating your reason for complaint.

They assign an investigator who contacts the company. They have the power to stop any company from doing business in this state if they are not doing as contracted. Lawyers argue for money and love "billable hours." They also get 30% of any money with a case they win. The Insurance Commissioner and all employees are paid already from you taxes to protect citizens from Insurance Fraud!

2,547 views to any of my articles is a quick record. I trust this means all are passing the word and joining me in prayer as Jimmy Moore will be helped far more from Above than on this earth . . .

This morning I visited with Jimmy and his wife before the early worship. He is full of faith and is told Chapel Hill can't do anything more than our local hospital in Washington . . . In other words, go home and ask God for healing for we have nothing in medical science to improve you liver cancer situation. The current problem is blood clots in his legs from the failing liver. Join me in prayers for the clotting to be solved with the blood thinners they administered to him.
