Since work is a bit boring today, I’ve had a few things to say at ARS.

Hehe!! Michael found this list, which is exhaustive but oh so damn accurate.

Are You A Liberal?

# You are against the War on Terror, but are only too happy to make millions of dollars by making movies about it.

# You preach about the evils of Capitalism from the comfort of your weekend hillside estate.

# You cry about the evils of “profiteering corporations”, but still demand your weekly paycheck.

# You believe “rich people” are evil, but are willing to over-look the fact that Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, George Soros, Michael Moore, and Al Franken are “rich”, as well.

# You scream and shout when innocent civilians are accidentally caught in the crossfire, but remain silent when terrorists kill them on purpose.

# You believe that civilians caught in the crossfire of terrorists attacking American troops died because of America and not because of the actions of the terrorists that actually killed them.

# You believe O.J. Simpson is actually looking for the “real killers”.

# You claim a higher moral ground in opposing the death penalty but see abortion as an expression of Women’s Rights as guaranteed in the Constitution.

# You believe America deserved 9/11.

# You believe American troops are “war criminals”, but a thug who killed somebody in cold blood is just a “victim of society”.

Go read the other 243 traits liberals have. And have a beer on me while your laughing!

Reason 1,397,364 why I don’t miss blogging about, talking about, being involved with ANYTHING politics.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Republican presidential candidates sought to embrace Hispanics in a Spanish language debate, striving to mark common ground with a growing voter bloc while softening the anti-illegal immigration rhetoric that has marked their past encounters.CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Republican presidential candidates sought to embrace Hispanics in a Spanish language debate, striving to mark common ground with a growing voter bloc while softening the anti-illegal immigration rhetoric that has marked their past encounters.

We can judge a man’s respect and honor for America by who wasn’t in attendance at this event: Tom Tancredo boycotted it. Good on him. The rest of them are spineless, wussbagged, useless idiOts who won’t get my vote next year.

Thatisall.

The irony abounds once again in Great Britain. Keeping the politics out of this as much as I can, remember that your priorities might not equal those of a national health care system.

LONDON (AP) - For two years, Frances Kinley-Manton says she lived with arthritis pain in her hips, a condition that kept her in a wheelchair.

She wanted hip replacement surgery. But doctors at Britain’s National Health Service said she was too fat for the operation.

“They wouldn’t even put me on a waiting list,” Kinley-Manton recalled.

Her doctor told the 210-pound woman to lose about 30 pounds before he would consider her for surgery.

Unable to drop the weight through dieting, the 68-year-old Scotland resident took out a mortgage on her house to pay for a private operation on the Mediterranean island of Malta. She had her first hip operation in July. Now she’s awaiting surgery on the other hip.

“I had no alternative,” she said in a telephone interview from the island. “NHS said they wouldn’t operate on me because I’m overweight, but I think they were just trying to keep their costs down.”

There are increased risks with surgery to overweight people, for sure. Mrs. Kinley-Manton was/is NOT morbidly overweight however. People in the US and most other nations can and do have hip operations at this weight; many are heavier. The risks are there, but not high enough to deny someone this operation. Doctors and other medical people realize the risks of doing nothing in these cases far outweigh the small chances of problems occurring during the surgery: A hip problem increases immobility, which leads to dependence and eventually the inability to take care of oneself. Um, this often leads to nursing home placement which is much more expensive than the operation in question here.

Contrary to what the NHS considers to be vital and important, we see the NHS pays for women to have their hymens repaired, so they have the look and feel of a virgin on their wedding night.

Women are being given controversial “virginity repair” operations on the NHS, it emerged last night.

Taxpayers funded 24 hymen replacement operations between 2005 and 2006, official figures revealed.

And increasing numbers of women are paying up to £4,000 in private clinics for the procedure apparently under pressure from future spouses or in-laws who believe they should be virgins on their wedding night.

Doctors said most patients are immigrants or British of ethnic origin.

Of course this is for women who are Muslims. That’s not important in my point here. What should concern people is the stark reality of a culture that disregards a real medical condition vs. a politically correct and religiously based “demand”.

Muslim non-virgin women should be the ones going to other countries and paying for their own non essential surgeries with their own money; not slightly to moderately overweight women who could very well end up living in nursing homes for the lack of a simple and very effective surgery. Of course Mrs. Kinley-Manton could claim herself a Muslim, demand a hymen repair and perhaps as an added benefit ask for the hip replacement surgery: She would probably have a good chance of getting both.

I just remembered Teach does open trackbacks now and again and I think this article is worthy of sharing. So go over and see what he has to say…
