I find the disconnect between what he’s been through and a lack of understanding in Dawn’s case (especially posting to her site) to be bothersome. I decided to disengage and I wished him well.

Margaret, I’m not going to his site, because 1) He could be lying, and ll) the fact that he thinks that Move-on members should just pitch in to help Dawn is a clear indication that he couldn’t care less about anyone but himself.

Unfortunately the original poster, Stuart, is pretty ill fighting cancer. He is in remission. I do not understand why he doesn’t think Dawn should be fighting for CIGNA to help her. And I won’t ever comprehend it. I have wished him well at his blog.

I went there Magilla, and I left a nice lily note for Stuey and his goddamned “friends”. I can just about guarantee that those three imbeciles were from the same IP address.

Just as with the FISA/Telecom Immunity bullshit, we will get pulled by the nose around in circles, thinking that someone will pull us out of this whirlpool of corporate handouts, and in the end, that’s where we’ll get it…in the end.

Oh, and if you want to read how angry they are, go to Dawn Smith’s website where I had an exchange. itcouldhappentoanyone.com

We were in Dallas and my boys (even though we were in the most progressive part of town–yeah, Dallas has one of those) were coming home with jokes about Blacks and Mexicans.

But what I don’t really get is how the debate over health care has turned into “Obamacare.” This is something that benefits everyone–especially those from the most prominent Teabagging states. You notice the loudest ones have the most uninsured.

Texas is like another country, or at least Houston and it’s environs. I lived there for a spell in 1980, and I saw and heard some very strange stuff. Blacks who were extremely polite was my first clue that we weren’t in Chi-town any more. And sure enough, it was because the pea farm was still a reality for any “boys gettin’ uppity”.

I heard lots of racial crap, but as usual, I had a great time there. The locals got a hoot outta my Chicago twang, and they’d fall on the floor laughing while I made fun of them with my version of a Texas drawl. Plus I could drink any two of them under the table, and then try and take their girlfriends home with me.

Yeah, I wasn’t always as nice as I am now. hehehehehe

Troggie,

I guess your fellow Arizonans (?) forget their history and proximity to Mexico, like they do in Texas. I lived there during part of the Bush years. I didn’t have many friends.

Well, there ya go, Magilla. Trustee hit it on the nail. Brain sunburn!

I really don’t know why the fierce prejudice. It seems out of proportion to how few blacks are in the state, but hell, that maybe because the blacks know when they’re not wanted. It may have something to do with the Mexican immigration, but again, I really don’t know why it’s so prevalent.
