Now, now, fellas; don’t get too wrapped up in a lover’s quarrel on my little ol’ website. Maybe the two of you need to go back to Big Bend, climb Brokeback Mountain again, and work out your frustrations.

Oh, regarding your comments… I simply don’t know what the goal of the far left actually is. Although Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks movement, accused of inciting town hall meetings, brings the crazies out of the woodwork, at least I understand their motivations. These people, the so-called “right-wing extremists,” are motivated by individual liberties and their belief in small government. The DHS Memo actually defines “right-wing extremists” in these terms. People that show up at townhalls are upset, but I believe they would fight for the right of their fellow Americans to have opinions, however bad those opinions might be.

I ask you, then: What is the goal of those who oppose the right-wingers? What does the far left want?

I’ll trust your intellect will answer that question for you.

Kevin Brady’s Plan? Really? Heard of Tort Reform? Restricting malpractice lawsuits to lower health care cost? I was at a town hall meeting where Brady described the fight he and other Republicans have been in the Joint Economic Committee (where he is the ranking Republican) to get tort reform passed, yet it was shot down by the Democrats because of their interest groups fearing a loss of a job and pay. The Republicans have endorsed the Wyden-Bennett bill along with the Democrats, yet that has been pushed aside to make way for Obamacare. The Wyden-Bennett or HAA bill would allow an employee to take his current health care coverage from job to job, and would give each state the control over their own systems which would increase access to healthcare since it can be regionally flexible. The Republicans are working hard, you just don’t hear about it in the news today. Just because you have all of a sudden started sucking the teat of Ron Paul doesn’t give you a platform to stand on and voice an opinion that everybody else doesn’t have any idea what they are talking about. It’s not government that I despise, nor am I against Democrats. I’m against the subversive movements of this Administration that is slowly taking over the freedoms the American people used to enjoy. Too much have been sacrificed by previous generations of Americans to allow the freedoms that have been in place since the beginning of this country to walk out the door. And the inclusion of the town halls in your argument is quite shocking. Town hall meetings such as these are the only bond that keeps this government linked to a democracy. Without the continual and sometimes coarse input from the constituency our government would just be an elitist government posing as a free democracy. Give the common person a break, not all have read The Revolution: A Manifesto. My apologies that we can’t envision the perfect and ideal form of society where Ron Paul protects everyone with his libertarian powers.

O Jack stop acting like the rebuplicans arnt sheep. The Democrats have an idea. Give them some credit. When it all boils down I believe they want to do whats best for the american people. That may mean to us a socialistic society filled with sharing and poverty. But at least they have a plan. Whats Kevin Brady’s plan?…get reelected. Just like Ted Poe. Just like Obama. Just like Gene Greene. And, o ya, everybody else. Repulicans are like leaches on land. Feeding of the sheep of the town hall meetings.

I usually get a beer after mowing the lawn. But that is just me.
