Fringe or Not?

When I was a protester against the Vietnam War, I didn't want to be lumped in with the violent leftest fringe AND I was proud to say so. Are there "Tea Party" members or supporters who speak out against these acts of "white privilege"? In other words, are these actions the fringe or center of the "Tea Party"?

Unversal Health Care and Conservatives

It's been a long while since I put a new entry on this blog and do so now because here's two topics I couldn't resist.

Universal Health Care - I can't even recall how long it's been that I've been checking off Universal Health Care as my top priority in various political opinion polls. And now near universal health care is LAW OF THE LAND!!! I still worry that even though 32 million will now have health insurance, that their deductibles and co-pays will still bankrupt them and I think that a public option would have been refreshing competition for the private insurers. But - wow - as Biden said - this is a big F***ing Deal!!

Conservatives - Nothing to add to this column as it says it all! http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/a/m/americandad/2010/03/an-open-letter-to-conservative.php?ref=recdc

Lastly, here's to family, friends, and good health!
