Obama forgets to salute flag...........



Recommended Posts

Yes, I am dead serious.. How many years, have men been running our country?? Oh yes, they have done a marvelous job, look at were our country stands.. Seems to me that a woman, might just get the job done. :clap2:

And I'll stop right here, because politics and religion are forbidden subjects for me.

I think Hillary is a strong candidate. I would rather she be in office, than the idiot we have in office now.

I only vote based upon issues that are important to me. I believe that Madeline Albright stated that women would still start wars. Remember how catty they were in school? Wasa is right. People voted for Bush because they liked him more and wanted him to finish what he started in Iraq.

The logic of voting on gender over ability is what got us in the mess we are in today with Bush. That logic just isn't reasonable. The queen of mean had a vagina too, doesn't mean she'd make a good prez. We aren't in the problem we are because those in office have a penis, we are in the problem we are because those in office don't have any balls or care for the people of the US.

People tend to vote more on their impulses or party lines than anything else. 80% of American voters vote their affiliated party line, no matter the candidate. That is a fact, supported by years of research.

Bill Clinton wasn't perfect, but he was a good president. His wife is a walking nightmare. Give her a few years, and we'll all be comrades.

We had a female prime minister in the UK , do none of you remember the Falklands war, when Argentina invaded the Falkland Isles, Maggie Thatcher was prime minister then and she was quite happy to go to war.

all candidates, promise more than they can accomplish, come on, 4 yrs is hardly enough time to fix so much screw up from the past. I think they all have good intentions when they come into office and I hope and pray that they have my countries best interest at heart, but at the end of the day, they are just like me and you.. And yes, you and I screw up.. Just a matter of life.:clap2:

I still stick to what I said.

I think I'm behind on this thread, but kneejerk patriotism seems stupid to me. I don't care if someone salutes the flag. I care if someone has good ideas. I note that Republicans seem to cotton on to ridiculous things rather than look for the truth. I'm sick of that. Look what the Republican party has done. It has moved the U.S. toward fascism, not that I'd expect you to understand that term. This is not the America I grew up in. I'm in severe pain due to my back, so I'm cranky. But this sort of thing really irritates me. I wonder why people don't study the Constitution instead of going for stupid pictures like this.

Even if the Dems did want the US to be like old Mother Russia, the Republican leadership has in reality taken us closer to that model. Electronic eavesdropping on citizens without warrants. Secret investigations without recourse. Suspension of Habeas Corpus. The use of water-boarding and not calling it torture. Spending money like it grows on trees. What happened to the Republican party I grew up with, which cared about smaller government and fiscal responsibility? When people start using loose terms like dems and neo-cons or liberals and conservatives, they are taking a narrow view without the benefit of objective thought. The right answer is typically somewhere in the middle.

Please reconsider using critical thinking skills. Even just one!

When we see men of contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. :D

Bruce Lee in the "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" says: "Those who desire fiscal notions only do not see their ignobility, as their internal indoctrination is already ethically corrupt." I'd say that's pretty fitting of those who start wars for oil.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
